Afternoon

25th Infantry 8, All-Oahu 2, (10 inn
ings).
A thrilling game of baseball, that
started slowly but gained momentum
with every inning, went to the 25th
the last half of the tenth. Alex Desha
weakened after having pulled out of
couple of bad holes in the earlier
frames, and walked the first man to
face him in the extra frame. The next
man sacrificed, and a sizzling hit
through short by Grafton drove in the
winning run with one man out.
J. Johnson was the soldier pitching
selection, and he got better as the
game progressed. He is rangy left
handler who won q lot of games for
the gath Infantry in Manila last year,
and he Is decided addition to the
hurting staff of the 18th. He has
tendency to make false motions, and
one baked called on him resulted in
the! first run of the game Both John
! SON and Desha were a bit lavish with
the bases, and the latter kept :"Scotty"
Sehuman on the jump after his wide
cnes. He also put the fear of the
bean ball into the opposing batsmen.
The star feature CT the game was a
|one-h2nded running catch by Arga-
britc IL the sixth inning. o. Johnson
sent a mighty drive to center field,
that looked bound for the benches by
the score board. Argabrite started
back with the crack Of the bat, and
just managed to face round, stick his
glove way back of his head, and spear
the ball with the. tips of his fingers.
He got a great hand, for the catch
was about the most brilliant of the
kind ever seen On the local lot.
The first score was chalked up for
the Oahus in the second inning. Lang
Akana walked, was sacrificed by Fliz-
er, and went to third on Schuman's
out at first He was waived home by
Umpire Stayton when Johnson baked.

first run, which came in the fourth. 4

on ChilIingWorfh's tumble of hard
chance. He went down to second
when Parker hunted to the pitcher.
and was advanced another base on q
balk. Smith dropped one back OF third
that both Sousa and Bushnell went
after, and Johnson came home.
There was no further scoring until
the first of the eighth, Schuman flied
to short, and Sousas waited for four
wide ones Desha rolled an easy one
between, the pitchers box and third
base, which Johnson ran after and
then sat down on. Chilly flied to VIII
lis. Then Eddie Fernandez, who had
replaced Bushnell in the previous inn
ing, lined out one through the pitch
er's box that both Johnson and Um-
pire Cullens had to step lively to
avoid, scoring Sousa.
In their half Of the same frame the
25th tied it up again. Goliah, first up,
walked, and went down on Swinton's
sacrifice. Grafton hit. A wide throw
to first by Chil1ingworth, and a wild
peg to the plate by Flizer let Goliah
in, Grafton going to third on the
scramble Willis bumped one in front
Of the plate; which Desha fielded to
the plate, cutting of Grafton on a
close decision.
sDesha got in bad in the ninth, with
two on and none out, but managed to
pitch himself out of it. In the tenth,
though, the pressure was too strong,
and the 25th went home with the ba-
