EXCELLENT EXHIBITION BY
JAPANESE.
Without having fully recovered baseball standings on Wednesday from their sen voyage, the visiting Honolulu Chinese baseball team met the Japanese player at the Happy Valley Diamond on Satur- day and only won after a very close and exciting game. On Sun- day, however, they appeared more acclimatised and overwhelmingly trounced the U.S: Navy, winning by the broad margin af teu ruas. China's representatives in the forthcoming Olympic Games, drew a record crowd at the Valley on Saturday when the visitors were booked against the Japanese Base- ball Club. Prior to the match, the tourists gave an exhibition of stunt catching and hitting.
The local players pus up an exceptionally
fine performance against much superior players. The Chinese took the plate first and scored two runs through Bing and Lee Lai, the former crossing the plate on a sacrifice by, Peter Yee. The Japanese did creditably well to reply with three runs and then to blank the visitors out in three successive innings, while they themselves scored another run in the fourth.

INEFFICIENT BOXING REFEREES.
There is a good deal of discus- sion going on in boxing circles. which are perturbed by the alleged bad refereeing which has charac- terised some of the recent meet ings. Fresh bloodia being sought for amongst referees.
Comments.
Up to the fifth innings the Japanese held their own against their opponents but their dis- advantage of having no substitute pitcher to relieve S. Hachiuma greatly handicapped the local players, whereas, on the other hand, the Chinese interchanged their men very frequently,

In a seven innings muteh on Sunday, the All Round Chinese won by 12 runs to 2. The great margin may be due to the lack of combination between the players of the U. S. Navy team, they being chosen from the U.S.S. Helena and U.S.S. Sacramçato.
It was evident from the start that the visitors would not be given as much opposition as they received from the Japanese the previous day. They blanked out the Americans in five successive
