It was mighty fortunate that the
majority OF baseball fans who visited
Athletic Park yesterday afternoon
came early, as the old story about the
worm will 60 three ways, There were
two games scheduled and one played.
Not meaning that were not two con-
tests IL one may be allowed to use
this term.
In the first battle Of the day and
the only game of the day, the Filipinos
Jumped to the front and won from the
fayorites, the Braves, by q good four
lengths. This was q real ball game,
and for seven perfectly good innings
not run crossed the plate. Up to
that time Admiral Nelson and King
Lacerna were fighting it out for hon
ors, and the ardent fans and tanner
ines were enjoying every minute OF
the game.
Win In Eighth,
In the eighth inning the Filipinos, re-
menbering the deeds Of Company M,
". G. H., decided that 1t was about
time to place the old ball game on the
frozen aqua, and they thereupon pro-
ceeded to do so with much eclat
When the bombardment was over Ad-
miral Nelson stated that the Braves
didn't expect every man 70 do his duty.
For three innings the Braves did
not secure q hit off Lacerna. and In
that time only two binglets had been
secured by the Fills, Marcial and Pla-
mas being the biffester. In the next
three innings, Mara. Anahu, 0rnellas
hit safely, but the Braves could not
score. During the next three cantos
the Fills failed to hit Nelson and the
game looked like an overtime AFFAIR.
Tomarra Hit Yesterday.
Batong was given life when Anahu
erred in the eighth, and Pianas then
flew out to Admiral Perry, who re-
fused to give up the ship. Then
Reyes walked and Passing did passing
fair when he ratified the boards for
a healthy double, scoring two runs.
Then Tomarra, who was batting q day
ahead Of time, strobe to the plate. As
a stroder he is exceptionally good, and
as binger he also exeelled. Nelson
on the lookout deck failed to watch
and Tomarra did a futurist stunt OF
hitting to center for homer. After
the catastrophe, Lacerna, who was
ably supported by Reyes, the star
catcher, retired the side, striking out
the last two men, and the real game
of ball Of the day was over.
Both teams played bang up games
throughout, and four and five hits
and two errors piece looked heap
better than the collection that was
generously dished out in the second
game. -~s..- r..
25th infantry H., Chinese 4.
II the Red and White boys from
over the sea expect to take advantage
of the local teams errors, they had
better get this idea out Of their heads.
All the errors are entirely out OF their
systems, meaning the locals, or some
thing is wrong. 1t was a great game
spelled that way, and after the total
izer had been working overtime 1t was
discovered that IL errors were made,
enough for one day and a few hours
over. 81" ..
Not that the gloom was spreading
throughout the stands all the time
as there was some mighty good play
ing. Both En- Sue and Grafton went
after some hard balls and gathered
them in, and the Chinese center field
er finished the day with six putouts.
Hoon XII also made pretty stop Of a
hard hit ball.
Roaan Was Busy. .-..-
Rogan was on the mound for the
25th Infantry, and FOR eight innings
not a hit was secured off his delivery.
He had his fast ball working in fine
fashion, and was sending the Chinese
boys back to the bench in excellent
