Chinese baseball players of Honolu-

az Athletic park. They were forced
to meet the Pretzel twins. namely
'Ignatz" Zweifel and Herman Schata-
lein. This was enough to cause
trouble as tine Dutch Company was
the best that ever came over from
Bfeslau. :.r...
You may call him plain zee at the

of his name early in the game. zee
did not carry much out to the park
with him yesterday afternoon, and as
consequence the Portland batters
hit his offerings to all corners of the
pasture.
Portland won out by score of 3 to
l., and it might have been worse had
not the cleaning sneaked out from
behind the stand, causing the players
to hurry it along. The corn beef and
cabbage was already placed on the
festive boards and the place cards
were assigned to their localities be-
fore the last man was. out in the ninth
inning.
The Chinese were not charged with
an error, but there were number OF
mental Iapses which helped Portland
TO run up the score. After Luck zee
was hammered hard Hoon XII came to
the firing line, and was also greeted
with number of hits. All this time

Crumpler could not have done any
worse against the visitors, and might
have helped a lot The Chinese could
stand a better chance of winning on
Thursday if they would give the south
paw hurler e chance against the left
handed batters of the Beavers. The
All-Americans said that Crumpler was
the best pitcher in the islands, and
they included Rogan in the list.
Why Not crumpIer?
With Crumpler on the mound on
Thursday, providing that he is in
shape, the Chinese would be- expected
to give the Portland players run for
their money, and Crumpler would in
addition be big drawing card. Luck

Charley Hollocher, the little blonde
of the Hulas. who is GER
tain to stir them up in the Baum cir
cult this year, broke into the limelight
with one of the best plays of the
year. With the exception of the one
pulled by Moriyama during the series,
it was the leading feature Swan hit
a drive between short and third which
looked like drive to the oItfield, and
with the crack of the ball the little
Portland player was off and snagged
the ball with one hand, and out OF

Of playing errorless ball since the

Moriyama has accepted 81 chances,

The Portland newspaper men think
that the second basemen will make
good in the Northwest League, and
his style of play has been given fay-

Williams, Pinelli, Willie, Swan and
Stumpf were the leading hitters of the
afternoon, and Willie came through
with a perfect average for the day.
