An All-HonoIulu audience, to give
the fans the same titular distinction
| enjoyed by the players, saw Johnny
Williams and his picked team trim,
med by the Chinese in an extra inn
ing game at Athletic park yesterday,
by the above score. And while so pei
cent of the record crowd of 1920 paid
admissions went to root for the All
0ahus. 80 per cent were pulling for
the Chinese in the deciding frame
The losers lost lot of friends by
the general tons of their ball playing
the actions of a few casting discredit
on the entire team, which was unfor-
tunate 49, ~
1t was a good game to watch, and
exciting to degree throughout. Both
boxmen were touched freely. and YET
both pitched nice ball, getting out OF
some mighty deep holes. There were
men on the paths most of the time,
and in most OF the frames one side or
the other had a chance to get a man
across. What spoiled an otherwise
successful contest was what looked
Ike dirty ball playing on the part Of
the ALI Oahus. II is sometimes i'm.
possible to tell just what a players
intentions are by his actions. and it
is only possible TO judge by the latter,
and make deductions from results. On
this basis, it looked as though the ALI
oahus, or rather certain members OF
the team were determined to draw
down the long end Of the gate by any
methods, fair or. unfair. The actions
Of williams, Chillingworth and La
Mere, especially the first named, put
the whole team in Dutch, and thor
oughly disguised the majority Of fans.
Local Fans Rubes.
When the man VINO; led the Coast
league last season. and who is going
to Detroit this year, stepped on the
diamond he was under the friendly
eye Of the big crowd. The home fans
wanted to see him work, and gave him
a rood hand. That M'filfaras doesn't
care q whoop for his home fans was
Indicated by his actions, and his gen.
eral attitude of sneer;ng Indifference
to the ethics of fair play. Williams
aid things and said things that would
have chased HIM off any mainland lot
in disgrace, and as he has certainly
had enough experience to know this,
the conclusion must be drawn that
he held the RUDE fans in contempt,
and played horse with them. Will
liams was too wise to make his roar
out loud, but, according to Umpire
Desha, he used abusive language when
he came within close range of the
Indicator holder Twice Desha stop
ped the game, evidently much worked
up over something, and held confer
enees with Marcallino and Motley. If
Williams used the epithets he is al
legged to have used to Desha, the lat
ter should have benched him without
further parley. A lot of the fans
would have been glad to see this &C
ton taken. Outside of his alleged
abusive language. and his general con-
temptous manner, which was appar-
ent to all, Williams slobbered the ball
with various concoctions taken from
his pockets, and pulled other bushy
stuff that delayed the game. If he
doesn't pitch another game here this
winter the crowd won't be much dis
appointed. &C.,
In the first half of thestenth there
