league closed its season yesterday
teresting games of the entire series
Although the score was one-sided. the
game was nip and tuck throughout
and up to the seventh inning the count
was / TO 0, the Chinese making two
in the eighth and two in the ninth
that cinched the victory. In the early
innings Yamaguchi, who made his sec
ond appearance in the box for the Ha
waits, held the opposition down In
good style, but toward the latter part
the Chinese sluggers lit on his
offerings. and pounded them far and
often. Foster Robinson pitched for
the Sam Hoppers, and was effective
throughout.
The play was fast and every man
was out to win for his team, and this
scrappy spirit led to one regrettable
mix-up among the players. In the
fourth with Chillingworth on third,
Kualii hit TO Robinson, and the latter
made a bluff at throwing to first.
This coaxed Chilly off the bag and
when Robinson turned and threw to

There was q lot OF real baseball dur

batting and bad language comes from

not concern themselves particularly
with the fortunes of the other teams.
That Umpire Stayton's stand for clean
baseball is appreciated, however, was
shown by the rousing hand that was
