(. - i lie local AlI-SHlUeS6 DdH team that
made such successful campaign in
Manila recently, played one Thinning
tie game with picked team from the
Philippine capital. Honolulu fans who
read the appended account of the game
from the Manila Bulletin of May will
wonder what made Kan Yin fall for
the old trick that tied the score in the
seventh. He is too wise bird to be
caught mapping in that way as a regu-
lar thing. e = 3
Here is the Manila story of the
game: 49, r.: s.. -. .-...,.: 4. rip: ,.>>'%
The Manila Cts, the cream of the
American civilians In the Philippines,
and leaders in the race for the Manila
league pennant this season, upheld
their reputation as the fastest and
most scientific collection of baIlplayers
on this little spot on the globe when
they held down the brainy youngsters
from the Hawaiian islands to SO
score in one Of the most exciting
games ever seen in Manila, yesterday.
The Cts stood well the test Of
strength, courage and brains to which
they were subjected yesterday after
noon for IL innings by the cool but
aggressive ball tossers from the Para.
disc of the great Pacific The celes-
tails were not defeated but they we're
checked in their rapid advance to-
wards sweeping down to complete
ruin the great monument of Americas
national pastime established on these
shores sixteen years ago. The honor
of Philippine baseball still stands on
the balance, but the invaders have
been checked and the flower of the
American civilians have demonstrated
that the Chinese from Hawaii have
nothing en- them in so far as inside
baseball is concerned. 4
It was the lightning like brain work
of Roberts, the Cts first sacker, that
saved the game from going to the in
vaders. The happy occurrence took
place In the last of the seventh. Keefe
went to first on balls, and then bur-
glared second when Gratwick was sent
to the bench via the strike-out route.
I 'liAord relied an easy enc to second,
which the man on that station
fumbled. and Keefe landed on the third
bag. Cliff stole second. Robinson
vas out on puf fly to catcher, but
Roberts was safe on first ON the first
baseman's error and Keefe scored. At
this critical moment the score was five
TO four in favor of the Chinese, two
cuts on tho Cts, and third and first
occupied. The Cts must tie the score
in this frame or lose the game. Rob-
erts dashed for second in an attempt
to force the Chinese catcher to throw
to second 80: .<7.s 81
His action was the product of a
seconds thought. for which Manila
reaped a run which tied the score. Kan I
Yen. the Hawaiian catcher, on seeing
Roberts tearing for second, shot one in
that direction with the deliberate in
tenticn of ending the inning right
there. 1t was just what Katy" want
cd, and instead of proceeding, direct
to second where he was bound to be
caught he made sudden stop and al I
lowed himself to be chased. He was
chased but before he could be put
cut the runner on third had already
crossed the plate and the score was
tied. ,.=
Clifford was heraldcd as the man
TO save Philippine baseball homer from
a complete iun at the hands of the in
vading Chinese aggregation. There
was loud applause throughout the park
as the big Chief; walked to the pitch
er's box For five solid innings Cliff !
PULLED himself through masterfully. In
the sixth, Clifford, as though in a
trance, went up in the air, and for
il seemed as though all hopes
to save the honor of Philippine base
ball were to be shattered. -Four scores
were already registered when Farley s
was showed in in place of ''Wahoo. +
