l; Haiku s, Wacs 5.
With every break of the luck and
every close decision against them the
Wacs lost to Haiku 8-5 Sunday after
noon. The game was protested on a
third out for the Haikus but the pro-
test was not completed yesterday as
was required. He alleged that
the Wacs' catcher was out of
position when or before the ball was
delivered. The Wacs fought and kick
ed through the nine innings. 1t was
a hard afternoon for Leandro and not
a delectable one for attendants who
like orderliness for a large part of the
grand stand was after his jumps" af-
ter the first inning decision which was
not generally understood. The crowd
could not see why a runner should be
brought home on a third strike of a
third out and the batter have -four
strikes on him before being called out.
Only a very few knew of the rule un-
der which Leandro made the decision.
There were a number of unpleasant
episodes. Gene Bal was forced to
leave the field. AS to that episode
the management of the league and the
umpires are to blame as well as Bal.
Last year there was a rule made that
no n not in uniform except the club
manager should be permitted on the
players bench and that rule has not
been enforced. Last year showed the
need of the rule and it was folly to
ignore it this season.
Wacs players are open to criticism
on the hard kicking they did but it
was a heartbreaking game to lose, they
felt they were getting the worst of it
and at least they are entitled to
credit for having played hard to the
end, especially Wells Cummings in the
box.
Wacs Open Strong
1t the jump the Wacs looked like
winners. Asam's hit which was mis-
judged by the Haiku right fielder was
good for two bases. Silva was safe
and Assam landed on third on a field
er's choice. Silva stole while Lyons
was striking out. Wells Cummings
singled and Asam and Silva came
home. Cockett was out, second to
first, sacrificing Cummings to second.
Frank Bal hit to Souza who threw
wide to first and Cummings came
home, Bal going to second where he
was left when Waiwaiole went out,
Souza to Haole.
Trouble For leandro
For Haiku Chartrand was assisted
out at first by Wells Cummings. Souza
received a pass. Chris Cockett flew
out to center who made a great throw
to first in an effort to catch Souza
who had gone toward second. Robin
son singled to right and Souza went
to third. Robinson stole second. Then
came the disputed decision. There
were two strikes on Coleman and he
struck at the third but Leandro called
Souza home and let Coleman strike at
another of Wells Cummings shoots.
The Wacs gathered around Leandro
in protest, spectators howled and hoot-
ed, an afternoon of trouble for the
umpire was started and her the game
was resumed. Acting Manager Pereira
gave notice later of a protest on the
decision. Wacs 8, Haiku l.
Wacs Lose Lead
Both teams went out in order in the
second. In the third the Wacs all but
scored and then lost their lead. Lyons
popped out to Robinson and Cummings
was out Robinson to Haole. Cockett
sent a Texas Lacquer to left and went
to second when Chartrand fell trying
to get it. Bal was safe at first on an
error but Cockett was nipped at the
plate on the play.
Yamamoto beat out a slow one to
short but was caught mapping at first
a moment later. Chartrand was safe
on an attempted one hand pick up at
third and Souza walked. Then came S
