Lieut. O'Hara is playing mighty fast

guese made some pretty throws. He
fielded well, also.
Lawson is credited with both a wild
pitch and Strike-Out, pitching to
Bushnell IN the seventh
For every empty seat at Saturdays
game, there was some fan who played
in big luck by missing the game.
Nishi, the Japanese catcher. caught
a great game yesterday. The way he
went after fouls was real treat.
One hit out of five times at bat was
the best that La Mere, the one-time
formidable P. A. c. slugger, could do
yesterday.
Lynch at shortstop for the soldiers
has nice style on ground balls and
a good throw to first. His one error
was eXcusable.
Araki shot over across the first base
line yesterday and caught short pop
fly at very critical point, getting a.
big hand for It. ..:
Kurisaki, left field for the Chinese
made two fine catches, one of them
a wonderful stop of low drive that
went just over short stop.
The last assist of the first game
was a sensational one-handed stop by
Hixenbaugh, whicn he winged to first
just in time to get the runner.

Maniya was safe at third in the fifth,
zap failing to put the ball on him.
Bruins saw it the other way, though.
Araki held Lang Akana, the Chin.

Akana had three chances to win the
game with a timely hit, but he could
not produce. ."... 10y.

he is easy pickings for those who can
meet speed. .:.'.. ~.
Hudrlall was out at first in the
eighth because he didn't touch the
bag. If he had kept on going Bruins
would have decided the other way,
as he started to, do, in fact.
The Portuguese players are all pull
ing for the Asahis to beat the Chin
csc. The reason is easy. If the Asa.
his should win the Portuguese would |
be at the top of the percentage roost.
Mamiya felt worse than anyone else |
when he began to juggle the ball early |
in the game. He was mighty dis
pirited looking ball player when he
came to the bench after the crowd
had started to pan him! s%.
Swenson is turning out to be real
catcher, one of the best backtsops in
the league. He is a hard worker, and
is game to the core, being Ieady at
any and all times to block. His weak
ness is losing track Of balls that get
by him. ."
Sadtler of the Puns covered more
ground than any other second base
Bill Inman has all kinds of stuff
in an attemut to stop line drive over
second base, he ran far to his right
and dove through the air in world
series style. He is handicapped by
a weak ankle, result of break many /
months ago, but he starts faster on
infield hits than any other man in the
league
The mural decorator who looks after
the score-board has greatly improved
his style and now the names of the
batters are legibie. He used to have
a sort of Whistler nocturne effect and
after the first suggestion in these col.
umns he changed it to a post-impres-
sionist style with strong sugges-
ton of clubism Further criticism has
caused another change and he now fol-

his early days 49, F-s.,..
Araki, the Japanese pitcher was sent
in for few innings because Moriyama

er, did so well in the box that he
stayed there. In the ninth he weaken
ed badly. but managed, after much en-
from his team mates to
put the ball over the plate, trusting
to the fielding. Even at that he struck
one batter out on straight balls. Nishi |
ended the game by hard catch of a
foul ball.
Sloan allowed five hits in five in
inngS, and three of those hits were
of a very scratchy kind. while another
