DARK HORSES IN
LEAD IN PACIFIC
st. Louis and Braves Lose in
Opening Games of Series:
Close Race Expected
PACIFIC LEAGUE

That second series in the Pacific
League doesn't look quite like the
first. The Braves and ST Louis have
dropped their first game, and the Ha-
walls, FilipinOs, Mckinley are at the
top at present. The second series
promises to be a real race from start
to finish, and no team will be selected
as the fayorite.
One Of the big upsets on Saturday
at Moiliili field was the defeat by St
Louis at the hand of Mckinley. The
high school team won out when they
n1cked Markham for IS hits. Mon
sarrat broke up the game when he
tr1pled to deep center. Mckinley
scored five runs in the last inning,
winning out by a score of 10 to s.
Ross and Tsukiyama pitched for Nc
kinley. You Bun Hee was the lead
ing hitter for st. Louis. getting three
clean ones. lwanaga was the star at
the bat for the day, getting four hits
out of five times up.
Good pitching by Hosea and Lopes,
combined with errors by the Chinese
gave the Filipinos the game by a
score of s to s. Hosea injured his
hand in the sixth, and was forced to
leave the game. LOpes finished up,
and pitched good ball. Kong pitched
good ball, but errors behind him lost
the game. Garcia was the leading
hitter of the day.
The Hawaiis with a strengthened
team downed the Braves in a hard
hitting game on Sunday. The score
follows:
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-07-30

Johnny williams of Honolulu, Sac
ramento, Detroit, Ypsilanti and way
points hogged the deal yesterday
morning at Athletic Park when the
Schuman team Of the Commercial
League downed the Frank Coombs az
gregation by a score Of to 0.
Johnny wasn't content with holding
the Coombs men to four hits, but
when the eighth inning came around
slammed one OF Luck Yee's shoots
for a pretty single through the box
which brought home the first run Of
the day. Then Kong Tai Pong, who
also played a good game during the
morning tilt, followed the lead by hit
ting one through the infield which
gave the Schuman team three runs
altogether, which was quite enough
TO win, If you please.
Real Thriller
There have been a lot OF worse
games played at Athletic Park than
this contest, and not to take a rap at
the 25th Infantry and Chinese, 1t was
by far the best game played at that
park yesterday, and despite the ex'
citing game at Moiliili Field, the
morning contest must go as the best
bali game played in the city yester-
day. Il was a real thriller up to the
eighth inning, and sensational plays
with men on bases stopped the run
retting.
johnny Williams naturally butts in
for the most. glory, being the winner,
but Luck zee pitched an excellent
game. His performance Of yesterday
was even better than when he beat
the Star Bulletin 2 to /. Schuman
secured but one hit in seven innings,
the other three coming in the eighth.
Neither team secured a hit for five
innings, and Yen Chin was the first
to break into this coumn when he
touched Luck zee for bingle in the
sixth. You Bun also beat out q nit
