A GRUELLING BASEBALL DUEL.
FILIPINO'S DECISIVE VICTORY OVER S.C. DRAGONS.
BLANKED OUT IN SEVEN CONSECUTIVE INNING.
SHANGHAI AGAIN DEFEATS "ASHEVILLE.”
Hong Kong baseball fans were treated to a most spectacular game on Saturday when the Fispino outfit decisively defeated the redoubtable South China Dragons by blanking them out in seven consecutivo-inning. It was a gruelling baseball Quel, both teams were on their toes from the very start to the end. The opposing pitchers, Zafra and Lee, brought into play, all the ball craft they knew, and no quarter was given.
The winning team was at top form and the same must be said of the Chiness. Both played the game of their lives, and the better team won. -Big-Ben-Zatra-and-"Shorty" Hachiuma who formed the battery for the Filipino nine, were largely instrumental in bringing home the bacon. The two Lee brothers forming the battery for the Dragons, played a sterling game, and successfully saved their side from a heavier defeat. They, however, did act. get the support that the winning team did from the feid...
Saturday's game was the second defeat which the Dragons. have received from the Filipino this season, and incidentaly the Erst "blank-out" walloping which the Dragons have ever got.
“ASHEVILLE” SECOND DEFEAT."
The Hong Kong Baseball Club was unable to field a team to meet the Shanghai Chinese yesterday owing to Ruffin, their pitch- ing ace, being in hospital and other players were away from the Colony. The daheville crew was called upon to fill the gap, and they sportingly enough did so with a scratch team.
•
The game on the whole was fairly interesting, and although the visitors won by a Iairly comfortable margin, they were never- theless given a good run for their money. The sailors broke out- with one run to the good and held their opponents at bay for the Erat three frames. Bad fielding and poor work, behind the plate cost them dearly in the fourth, and also in the sixth stanzas...
Another good game is in store for the fans to-morrow when the South China Dragons will try conclusions with their guests. The visiting team and the Dragons both play the same kind of bail, and it will be interesting to see who will win at the same type of game.
FILIPINO'S BIG WIN,
South China Dragons struggle for supremacy in the baseball world of Hong Kong on Saturday WHA witnessed by hundreds of their compratriots.
The Filipinos, however, took the field with confidence, for word had gone round that Big Ben Zaira was in top form. Their supporters heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this, for Zafra, it must be remembered, has his on and off
days.

CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE IDITOR OF THE "HONG KONG
·DAILY PRESS,"]"
SIR-I am writing to correct an impression which your writer CLC is attempting to circu- late, and which is entirely untrue. Among the remarks contained in his Jaseball Notes on paKA 3. of your edition of Saturday, August 18th, he says, I must, however, say that the Filipinos should have replayed the game which they lost, but about which a protest was lodged. It is all very well to be sentimental, but in the field of eports, it is better in the and to adhere to the rules."
The game was not protested by' the Filipinos. There was no order from the Rules Committee-of-the Hong Kong Baseball Association to replay the game or any part of it. A protest was lodged by the Filipino Club against one run awarded by the Empiro in Chiaf, and the object of the protest, according to the letter. of protest, was to avoid a repeti- tion of the misinterpretation of the i rules. The writer discussed the decision with the Umpire and be was sincere in the belief that the decision was correct and cited the rule; be neglected to take into ac count the qualifying conditions of the rule which broadly allowed -a run on the third out if the out was not forced,
Taking into account the condi- tions at the situation, the Rules "Committee, which decide all pro- tests, and on which a member of the Filipino Club is serving this season, officially disallowed the run in dispute. There was no remark maut to the legality of the game' and the result remains as official. The furtherest thing from the truth was a suggestion that the game "should be replayed...
