RUGERITES Win
TWO GAMES AND
Want MORE TOO
South Beats Brushers; Bruett
Holds ri. Kamehameha to
Six Hits Sunday

The Fort Ruger ball tossers have
returned TO the ''limelight' again and
have started to make a new record
| for themselves as well as the teams
on the island. A newly organized
team, under the capable management
OF Lieut. Loomis. who Is an ardent
baseball fan, made their debut at Ath.
letie Park Saturday afternoon when
they took the strong squad OF Brush
ers" into camp in an thinning tilt,
score 3 to 2. The performance was re-
peated again Sunday afternoon at Fort
Kamehameba, the 4th Company CT
that place being the victims and the
score was 10 2.
In Saturdays game, which was the
best OF the two. the Ruger boys seem
from the time the first ball was
pitched until the last man was out in
the eleventh inning, which, by the
way, was Jackson. The game was a
pitchers battle and South outclassed
Hollerbach two to one, striking out II
batsmen and issuing one free pass,
while HolIerbach sent only six men
back to the water tank and walked
four men and hit three. Both teams
succeeded in getting a run across the
plate in the first inning. Kruger
scored again in the fifth and the
Brushers in the sixth. This made
the game exciting all the way through
and ii really looked as though 1t was
anybody's game, yet the Brushers
seemed to have that funny" feeling
that they we're going to lose the game
and the blow-up came in the eleventh
inning, when Cummings, the first man
up. connected for his third hat OF the
day. II was long single to left, but
Rails played football for few sec
onds and Cummings went to third,
and he attempted TO steal third, but
was caught in q run-up, in which tue
entire infieid figured, but no one was
backing Belli and Jackson left the
Mate to take the throw at third. THIS
left home unguarded and the short
toss OF McGarry's being bad, Cum
,nings slipped through and scored.
womack got on after taking q fast
one An the slass and South secured q
single. but no more scoring was done,
as McClain famed and Bailey was
thrown out by the pitcher south
nroyed his superiority and his ability
10 6 use his head when ne forcea
Anama. McGarry and Jackson eatn
70 hit a slow grounder straight 10 tne
pitcher's box. South was In his best
form and the presence OF Catcher
Benham, who mas just returned sfrcE,
the states, seemed to have a great Ell
feet on his control and work in gen,
eral. Hanna, Dawson and stewart
can each say that they broke up a
rally by making star catches with TWO
men out and the bases filled.
Sundays game was fast and eN-
citing one. but was much different
from the other one in that the pat
tie was between the fielders and In
