After Red-hot Contest that
Keeps Fans Interested
Hawaii 6, st. Louis 5 "a innings

Hawaii o, st. Louis ia tnninES.b
A ball game that is won in the l4th
frame, after il has been won and lost
several times, may be difficult to de-
scribe by reason OF the superfluity of
features This applies TO the closer
OF yesterdays double-header at Ath-,
letic Park, in which three home runs
and four double plays figured, and in
which first one team and then the
other seemed TO have the edge Il
was good ball game TO watch, and
IL was watched by fair-sized crowd.
In long-drawn-out game OF this
kind, IL is also difficult to place the
victory TO the credit Of the right play
er, but when all's said and consider
ed, Billy Williams came near winning
his own game, and should get lot Of
the applause. Besides tightening up
and holding the Saints hitless for the
five extra innings, Williams came
through IN the seventh with a circuit
drive that tied the score, and then In
the 18th got hit that sent the win.

Brito who actually drove the sixth Ha-
wall man across the rubber, but VIII
liams, by HIS stick work and his tight
pitching in the pinches, undoubtedly
deserves major credit for the vic
tory.
Barney Joy was opposed to Will
liams on the slab, and the game was
unusual In that both hurlers cracked
in the middle Of the contest, but we're
excellent in the first and last part OF
IL. Williams allowed 10 hits and
Barney nine, the latter keeping 10 of
the IA frames clean Of safe hits, while
the Hawaii twirler pitched eight hit
less innings In all.
The game got better as ii progress
ed, so it Is logic to begin at the in
teresting stage In telling about 1t. The
score stood to 2 In favor of the st.
Louis aggregation when the Hawaiis
went to bat in the last half of the
seventh, ana the Redlegs seemed to
have the inside chance, as up to that
time Joy had allowed only two hits.
The first two men up were retired by
the s. o. route, and then up came
Billy Williams, who looked easy to
Joy. The Hawaii pitcher, however,
connected with 4 long hit to right,
which got by the fielder and proved
good for the entire circuit, tieing the
score.
In the very next inning Kaleo dupli-
Gated the performance for the Saints,
coming 10 life with beautiful homer
over the left field fence, after the
first two TO face. Williams had been
