Sunday's "Needle" Match Proves Disappointing To Packed Gallery Recreio Team In Terrific Form With The Bat

H.K. Baseballers Win Again

By "Grandstand".

A GREAT SOFTBALL DISAPPOINTMENT WAS HANDED OUT TO THE JAMMED GRANDSTAND OF

SPECTATORS ON SUNDAY WHEN THE SAINTS WERE CRUSHED BY THE RECREIO ACES IN THE SENIOR LEAGUE OPENER ON SUNDAY.

It seemed that the Aces had their batting pants on; not one of them, or two, or three of them, but, the whole team. It was a fever, a contagion, as hits rattled off the Recreio bats, all the way down the line from first-sacker Nick Beltrao to hind-snatch- er Charlie Figueiredo.

The Aces scored in every inning but the Afth, and in the sixth, eight runs crossed the plate, and only a double-killing halted the mayhem. Limited to only six measly bingies, the Saints were massacred 15 to 1, and as one fan was heard to remark, "It's a goor 100tball score in

any man's league!"

Timely hitting by Joe Morris, who batted in two runs netting the Baseballers four tallies in the second stanza, stowed the game; away on ice for them.

Chucker Edwards again went the route for the Baseballers and sirück out thrce, but he issued free transportation to first to four Tuisamen. whilst Norton, starting for the Mighty T, fanned one and passed one, whilst relief hurler Hansen passed one.

The Tulsamen opened the score on a single by Maxwell, who then pilfered second, reached third on a wild heave, and romped home on a wild pitch.
