tenant I.yInan's Lions ,lid the trick IN
handy fashion, aud it would have been
shutout game IL second baseinan Mil
ton, OF the Infantry, had not tried to
do the t'Smart Alecf stunt ia the
fourth inning. Milton s0eided an easy

The salute was Milton . downfall, as
he, in some way, juggled with the ball
and let il drop. Aylctt, being let OF
so kindly, eventually made the circnit'
and scored when Lai Tin brought him
in.
The soldiers were on the job ali the
time and TOD Sloan was the hero
Of the afternoon In the scoring line.
The big fellow, who is the pitcher for
his team, not only did not allow hit,
but scored two runs In the Lions
second inning, Sloan wnlloped out
three-baeger after two men had gone.
II was a great effort and, a minute lat.

the big fellow through an error Of sec

sloan again did the needful in thu
fourth when he was brought home by
Bittiek.
The third run Of the Lions was made
in the fifth inning, when Zenwalski
lined out q two-bagger, and then got to
third on passed ball. He was brought
home from the third sack by Dowsett.
There were exciting moments right
through the game, and the fans were
pleased with everything. Sloan was the
idol of the crowd, and he got a hand
every time he went up TO bat. Sloan

afternoon, at times.
There was one sensational catch that
brought the fans to their feet to APP
plaud the clever work. 1t happened in
the third inning Of the Lions, and Ay-
lett was the star performer. Lyman
made first on wailop to center, after
Lerwitz had famed. Zenwalski adj
vanced Lyman by right field hit, and
then there were two on bases. Dowsett
put one into rights hands, and then
Burton laid the wood on one that start.

II looked as If home run would be
made, and that meant three runs at
that stage of the game Aylett, how
ever, made seemingly hopeless at
tempt to get to the ball, and by a mar
velous sprint, just managed 10 get
there in time and took the long, low
drive, or his very toes and made the
third out. Then the cheers went up and
the crowd showed its delight at the
wonderful bit Of work.
Although beaten, the Honolulu team
did we'll enough. williams aud La
Mere formed the local battery. Sloan
and Lyman otIiciated for the Second In
fantry. The nmpires were Captain
Stayton and t. Akana. Both did well
and there were no kicks from either
side.
