The season's highest total of hits and runs was established by the Shanghai Amateurs who trounced the 175,8, Asheville in the second game of yesterday's double-header at the Race Course by a score of 17-6. The tussle travelled eight innings until Plate Umpire Rose called the game on account of darkness.
The civilians failed to score only in three frames, the first, third ana seventh. Al Huebner, who preferred to stay in right field instead of taking up the mound duty, fired off three hits in five trips to the plate, and batted in no less than five runs, besides scoring twice himself. He was closely followed by Willie Ward, the tall and husky first sacker who clouted a three-bagger and a homer in three attempts at bat and drove in three runners. Like Huebner, he crossed the rubber two times.
George Adams had little trouble in dealing with the sailors. The Navy boys tagged him for four bingles one of which was a triple. The winning pitcher gave away four free tickets to first and struck out five batters.
