exhibitions of the national game ever
seen at Athletic park. II was the final
appearance of the All.Chinese before
their departure for their third main

stops and catches. There was plenty
of action on the paths to keep the

The game was high class. from the

a fly BY G. Moriyama, the first man
up, but the next three were out. and
Chinito died on first. In the second
frame La Mere poled long one to-
left. and Alvin made a mess OF this
also. The miscue was far more costly,

Joy numbered around to third. Ping
