The game between the Americans and Pul Ching was a mild com- parison of what one would expect of a ball game in the United States The game was fraught with excit- ing incidents when the poor um- pires called close decisions, and when the peregrinations of a mild cow in the butfield almost helped the lads from Canton win the game.

The Pui Ching lads trimmed the Volunteers by only one run: 10-9.

mound and substituted.
Only one man from each team was walked, but Gong fanned out Volunteers while Bowen eight struck out only four of the boys from Canton The hitting average was the same on both sides.
Pul Ohing can count themselves the winner of the pennant, as they are at the top of the local League with no earthly chance of any other team coming up and passing them. The fact that the American gunboats are out of the League makes it possible for Pul Ching to retain this position (see Percentage table).
