Honeycutt Makes Poor Start

Honeycutt started off shakily on the mound for the civilian.—He drew two passes in succession after one down. Then a miscue by Shortstop Schoberg on Wells' ground shot put Bitts, the first one to get a free ticket across the plate to tie the score up.

Honeycutt was still in poor shape. In the third inning he allowed Wells to hit the ball over left field for a four bagger, in addition to drive a runner home.

Sonnenberg also homered in the ófüb frame by a long shot onto the Shanghai Lawn Bowls Club greens. But in the following inning, the "Orphans" cóllapsed to pieces. Ward hit away. Centre-fielder Shipley muffed Krause's liner to put Wara on third. Bernard rapped out a hard ative through the pitcher's box and the shot chased both runners in Fielden tripled to tie the score.

Grey was yanked and Wells took over the mound duty. The comer tuiled to settle down, giving Lamneck hit to score Fielden and then mak" ing a wild throw to second on Riley's grounder. Honeycutt came to bat which led to the "Leathernecks" re-tuting the umpire's decision and finishing the contest under protest.
