header at Athletic Park. Coming up
from behind, when two men had been
retired and one was on the paths, the
0ahus,. with II Joy in the box. over
came a three-ran lead and forged to
the front by sending four men across
the pan by timely hitting With the
game grabbed fFom them just as they
were about to lky 1T on fee, and chalk
Up another in Athe win column, the
Chinese went out for one more des-
perate effort, and in the last half of
the ninth polled En- Sue around the
circuit, by his own brilliant base run
ming. and couple of errors. Both
sides got men on the paths in every
one of the three extra innings, and
when Umpire Stayton called the game
on account of darkness, it was still
an open question as to which was the
better team. 1T was one of those
whirlwind finishes that come rarely
in baseball, and there are number
cf fans Who are kicking themselves
today for being IN too much OF hurry
to get home. A dozen autos chugged
through the gate, and several hundred
spectators made for the exits when
the Chinese retired two men in the
ninth, and as a result the game was
finished with q third of the crowd
standing in left field and in front OF
the right bleachers. Some of Oahu
players had given the game up and
decamped to the dressing rooms, and
the hurry call sent in by Manager De
sha for men whose turn it was to bat,
brought to light a procession of sur
I,rised players in various stages OF
disarray. Moriyama forgot to put his
shirt on, and was sent back for that
article OF uniform by Umpire Stay
ton. Barney Joy was one of those
who received the hurry call, and be
came back on the field accompanied
by his valet, who was putting the fin
ishing touches on the costuming.
Johnson Saves Day.
A pinch hitter who can really pinch
turned up in Johnson, a recruit to
nesha's outfit. He was showed In to
bat for All Toon, and a nicely placed
one to right, that was just barely on
fair ground, tied Aprtlfe score.
When the ninth opened, the score
was Z to in favor of the Sam Hop
pers, who had showed four across in
the seventh, on a comedy of errors
plus three hits. The first man at bat
was Moriyama, who famed Kualii
fumbled BushnelPs grounder, but
when En- Sue gathered in joys fly to
center it looked to be all over but the
shouting, with not much of that to
be expected, and the big, fellow made
a bee line from first basesto the dress
ing room. Eddie Fernandez came
through with a long hit to left, going
to second on the throw to third that
arrived too late to nail Bushnell Ku-
ali made good with hit to left that
scored both men ahead of him. and
when he took second on passed ball
il became apparent that the game
wasn't over by jugfull. White was
the next batter, and he waited Apau
out, taking his base on a fourth ball
that almost beaned him. Then it was
that Dave Desha crossed All Toon off
the list, and sent Johnson into the
hatter's box Mr.. johnson was con-
flustered, and no wonder.
He let a perfect strike go, by him,
and then almost offered at one that
was three feet wide. Then he found
his batting eye, and low fly over
the first baseman's head and too far
in for the fielder to get was the re-
suit, Kualii scoring. Desha delivered
the goods with a single to left, and
that was too much for Mr.. sKau, who
resigned in favor of Foster Robinson,
brother Alvin going into right in his
place. Foster celebrated his ascend
ancy to the mound of honor by allow
ing another hit, off Asam's bat It
was long one to right, and should
lave scored johnson, but the latter
had glory enough for one inning, and
after moment of fatal hesitation be-
tween third and home, he was nailed
at the plate for the third out.
A General Shift.
With their catcher out of the game
the oahus were up against it, and a
shift became necessary. Moriyama
came in from center to catch, White
came in to second, Kualii shifted to
third, Asam went to center, and John
son filled in at right. En- Sue was
the first man up for the opposition,
and he laid down a beautiful hunt and
burned up the path beating 1t out.
He went down to second like rifle
bullet, which proved to be a wasted
effort, as the next man, Ayau, worked
Joy for pass. Albert Akana had in
structions to bunt, and struck out.
Then on q poor throw to third, En-
Sue scored. and the game was tied up
again. Lai Tin famed.
In the tenth the 0ahus got the sec.
end man up to first, but he was forced,
and then a long fly into En- Sues fly
paper glove retired the side. The
Chinese had two men on and one out
in their half, but an out, short to first,
and a fly to Bushnell spelled pau.
The eleventh was another picnic
that started with two gone. The third
Oahu man TO face Foster, again the
redoubtable Mr.. Johnson, drew d pass.
and when Dave Desha repeated with
another hit, it looked like a score
Billy Williams was substituted fol-
Asam. and although he sent the ball
bounding between first and second,
