SCHOFIELD BARRACKS. Aug. o.
The third game between the Wreck
ers and the Travelling Chinese was
staged at the post athletic park at
the big army post on Sunday afternoon
and again the Chinese vent down to
defeat before the 9th fast team and
this time with a worse jolt than in
the other two. If there was a doubt
in the minds of any OF the followers
OF the game as to which OF these Is
the better team today's results should
dispell any doubt, for at no point Of
the game did the Chinese excel, and
1t proved pretty easy plckings for the
Wreckers. 1t was their game from
start to finish and the final results
were never questioned for minute.
1t was a typical slugging fest where
the Wreckers were doing most OF the
smuggling. Jasper was in the pitchers
box for the 25th with Johnson at the
receiving end, and both played beau
tiful ball. For the Travellers Luck
zee was given the first inning in the
pitchers box but the third inning
proved so disastrous that he was
taken out and replaced by Hoon XII,
who held the Wreckers down for the
remainder Of the game to five runs.
The third inning Melted the 25th seven
runs, as Luck zee was batted out or
the box and when the bases were full
made a wild throw, allowing two to
score. II was in this inning that HaW'
hns, with two men on bases, drove
the pill over the left fielder's head
for q home run.
The famous Rogan was in the game
for the first four innings in center
field, but was taken out after max
ing q costly error. A line drive vent
through his legs and he was replaced
by Aulston.
A particularly large crowd was on
hand to see the game and many low
ers of the game motored out from
Honolulu to see the fun. There were |
numerous spectacular plays but very
little Of the big league stuff was
pulled off.
Jasper pitched good steady ball. AMI
pulled out OF some tight places. He
was given good support by his team,
as only three errors were ehalked
up against them. After the frtghtful
third inning the Travellers settled
down to business and Hoon XII
stopped the slaughter. He was not
given guilt edge support by his team
as they have seven errors chalked up.
The Wreckers played in luck in the
fifth inning when Fagin, by a fluke
made q home run, bringing in Graf
ton. He drove what should have
been a two-base hit to center field.
The pill took a bad hop going over
En- Sues head and when finally re-
covered Fagin had passed the home
plate.
For the Wreckers Jasper was hit
13 times, struck out five and gave
free transportation to two. With the
willow Hawkins comes in for credit
for his homer and also Fagin. Graz
ton distinguished himself in the sew
enth inning when with two men on
bases Fagin made a wild throw over
third base. Grafton, who was at LETT
field, made a fast run back to third
and recovered the ball at the bleach
ers and kept the runners on their
bases, johnson caught well through
out the game.
For the Travellers Luke 'Yee In his
three innings allowed seven hits,
gave two free transportation and
struck out none Hoon XII was hit
six times, struck out one and walked
one. Leong caught tlrst-class bail.
En- Sue made a two-bagger in the
fourth inning and Swan three-bagger !
a the same inning, scoring Moriyama,
but died on third. Kai Luke gave {
some classy bali at second. In the
On o.. ,
ond base, pulled off spectacular
stunt by picking off the ground a II
lot drive back of first base.
