LOCALS ERR in
TWO SESSIONS
With MISSIONS
81. Louis and Japanese Kick
Ball All Over Lot; Santa
Clara Team Plays Well

All the things that have been said
Of the Santa Clara team. regarding
their poor teamwork, ivory dispensa-
lions and other miscellaneous assort-
ments may now be transferred to the
local ball players, or shall the term
ball players be used? The locals have
been breezing along in great style
taking eight out of twelve games
from the visitors but this week they
dropped, and dropped hard.
Santa Clara won two ball games In
row. 1t is trae they were not meet
ing the best of the teams, but they
won, and thereby should deserve
credit which is due. They defeated
the st. Louis team 8 toe and the Jap
anese II to 2. 1t is o tossup as to
which played the poorest ball, the st.
Louis or japanese, but neither de-
serves much credit.
Locals Boot Them
In the Saturday game the st. Louis
team made seven errors, and in the
Sunday game the Japanese made
eight In justice to the Japanese it
might be said that they had two OF
their best players out Of the game,
and Tsukiyama, the star shortstop,
could not get in the lineup. Inasmuch
as his substitute made four hobs, the
two teams may be adjudged about
even
Santa Clara has pulled number Of
poor plays, not forgetting the good
plays, but it is doubtful IL they had
approached the poor work of the st.
Louis and japanese teams. These
teams booted, nuffed flies and kicked
the game away, and St Louis had
good pitching. while Moriyama had to
go into the box with a split hand after
Fukushima had been hurdled on Sun
day.
Opened the Gates
Taking these two teams together
the work Of Mamiya. Araki and Kurae
saki for the Japanese and Soares,
Leong and Ching Put for the Saints,
you find a comedy of errors all
around Out of this was some good
ball playing and the work Of Jansen
IN Saturdays game, and Komeya's
playing in the Sunday contest was
pleasing feature. Komeya did the
best piece of first-basing seen around
the local lot in some time
In the first game Bill Janssen and
"Pinkie" Leonard hitched up in a
pitchers battle, but the battle did not
last long. The st. Louis team kicked
the ball away, and did not give JAMS
sen a chance At that he held the
visitors to five hits. while Leonard
was sending the boys back with only
four bingles. In this battle ten OF
the visitors fell victim to Janssen's
shoots
"Hirap Hall Makes Homer
1t wasn't ball game. With the
exception of Gays three attempts to
hurl the ball cut of reach the Santas
played good ball throughout, proving
conclusively that the volcano trip waa
worth while "Hira'' Hall proved that
he was some man with the bludgeon
by placing a beautiful drive that was
good for four bases and some more,
Preciado at second played good
game throughout and Wilson starred
in the outfield .....
Louis S6ares threw the ball out in
center field one inning. and every.
body ran home including the coach
at third. and Ching Phi and AIoriyama
did the AlDhanse-Gaston play on one
grourder. but outside of this and sew.
aFal more bad ones, the team was
fair. 49, .=-t ..-..
On Sunday afternoon the Japanese
brought out a patched up team te
meet the Santa Ctarans. They had
Uyeno at the b8ckstor lob and AIamtya
al short In place. of Tsukiwama. and
MAMMA was busy man. lie booted
everything that same his way for
while, and the Santos ran around the
bases, and then to make up for the
