Pat O'Sullivan and Sam Ku OF the
Braves will without doubt be the reel
pients OF two beautiful bouquets from
the st. Louis Alumni and student
body this afternoon. These two mem
bers Of the Braves team gave the
st. Louis team the championship IN
the first series OF the Pacific League,
which closed yesterday afternoon.
The Braves and Asahis are tied for
second with Mckinley in fourth place.
Patrick and Harry Samuel have
been the big factors in placing the
Braves in q position to fight for the
pennant. Had It not been for these
two worthless, the Braves might now
be resting down around the middle
section OF the league But he who
gives may take. away. according to
Ring Lardner, and Pat and Sam we're
surely following Rings advice in prop
er fashion.
ForIorn Hope
The big upset Of the closing game
! nj the league came yesterday after
noon al Moiliili field when Mckinley
defeated the Braves by score OF .
to 6. When the old ninth inning was
born, Il looked as II Mckinley nao
about as much chance to win as
one1egged man has at q tea-dansant'
But baseball Is funny old pastime,
and It was mighty jocular yesterday
pfternoon.
inst about the time that Bill Lee
Was thinking about who he would
Itch sn the play-off with st. Louis,
nr. Souza marched to the plate with
two down. He hit q fly to right field
that locked ike q cure out, and NC
Kipley began 70 pack their bats. But
pat O'Sullivan dropped the sphere.
Then Harry Samuel Ku added MS
little mite to the cause. He walked
Kan Leong. II
And They Walked
Sam Ku walked him, and then ne
walked Iwanaga, and continuing tns
story he walked Tsukiyama, ano
Souza trotted In with run. The 6Uo
fans who were waiting for something
10 happen surely we're given q run
for their money, and Kurano walked
10 the plate with the bases populated,
and hit one Of Ku's slants to the o.
Sullivan village in right field. This
time OSulliyan ran up for the ball,
and once again he dropped It, and be-
fore the Braves could get together
three runs crossed the plate. .o'Sui-
livan broke finger nail in attempt
ing TO make the catch, and left the
game. Silva took care OF Monsarrats
grounder. and the Mckinley team had
set the Braves thinking. Those four
runs without q hit upset the Braves,
and only three men faced Tsukiyama
"a the last OF the ninth.
Monsarrat started in to hurl for
Mckinley, but after six hits and four
runs had been made off his delivery
IN three innings, he retired in favor
Of Tsukiyama. Tsukiyama pitched
good ball for the next six innings and
only two hits were made off his de-
livery. Souza and Tsukiyama were
the fielding stars in the early innings,
both cutting off sure hits on two oc.
casions.
