nings Without a Hit; Not a
Man Reaches First

-
Kelley and Ciumple the tw6 star
pitchers Of the 91st Cop1uany at Fort
Kamehameha, made new record yes
terday afternoon when they held two
teams safe for IS innings without a
hit at Fort Kamehameha diamond.
TO cap the climax Of the day, Kelley,
pitching against the 68th Company,
did not allow a runner to reach first
base.
There is no record Of team hold
ing another team or teams for 16 con-
secutive innings IN the same day with
out hit, and the records show that
only five pitchers have held a team
down without a man reaching first
base.
Kelley and Crumpler were pitching
good ball throughout. and both showed
enough to warrant their being given
a tryoHt with d fast organization.
Crumpler is a southpaW with world
OF stuff, and shoiiid he ever leave the
army will be given an opportunity to
try out with one of the major league
teams. MeGavin Of the Oahu League
caught Crumpler in the second game.

IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTRIES
Easter Celebrations Have Their Own
Arrangements, Which Reflect
the Peoples Ideas.

Throughout Cuba and Central Amer
lea. the presence OF soldiers dignifies
the clumsy quaintness OF the Easter
celebrations. Crowds gather early in
the plazas TO watch the life-sized,
waxen image OF Jesus borne out OF the
cathedral on hlgh-draped platform.
Acolytes, bearing censers. precede 1t,
and behind it trail clouds of priests,
bands. and flags. The procession
moves slowly through a main thor.
oughfare until 1t meets second fig
ure, resplendent in blue paint, curls,
and flnery. There is a pause as the
two figures confront each other. Then
the second-Mary Magdalene is
turned laboriously about and gnllops
away with its joyful news II en-.
counters third figure, painted yellow
and decked with gold, as BELTS the
Latin-American conception of the vir.
gin Mary. With the gilded figure lead
ing, the two Marys trot back through
the crowded streets to the first image.
AS the three meet, their draped plat.
forms tip forward in solemn, silent
bows, while thousands of awed be-
levers watch in silence. Forming into
line, the three images are borne back
to the cathedral, the troops fire
salyo, and the Easter services begin.
