Then Mesa whipped the ball to Caro and naught Grady- off the bag. but again i he umpire called him safe. Grady stole i bird and started for home, running in feet off the path. But the umpire ie, nied to like Grady and didn't call him out until Villareal tagged him near I lie plcte. Villareal fanned all three of his op ponents in the second Inning, duplicat ing the feat of Paul Fisher In the sec ond half of the first, lie had one strike out In the third, two in the fourth, and fanned Lempert, Lawrence and Bunion on 13 pitched balls In tho fifth. Clerk Score In Sixth. KilKngeworth replaced Fuller and led off in the sixth for Everybody. With the call "three and two," Mackey ailed the deciding offering a ball, though It was a mighty close affair. Killings worth started for second and Mesa had him headed off by yards, but threw bad, the ball going to center field, where Sanches booted it, en abling Killingsworth to complete the eiieuit. Hunter and Gillette were fa nncil. v lllareal started the seventh by fan mnr Grady, his 14th strikeout of the gme Cunningham lifted one to cen 1 r field.

Mesa took second on a wild pitch and Villareal knocked an easy one at Meason, who booted it, letting the runner reach first sarety. Caro fanned. The fane didn't agree with the umpire on the strikes. That was the finish of Fisher, and "Buster" Gillette went to the mound, but the Mexicans had found their bat ting eyes and Minlares lit on "Buster's" first offering in the fifth for a single and then stole second.

Tho first game or the double bill was hardly up to the standard of the sec ond. The Feldmans opposed the Puri tys and the photographers slumped back into their form of last season be cause their old trouble or players fail ing to show up again bothered man ager Itlx. The Puritys won, 7 to S. Then the "stars" of the last game dnoued up like dubs. Larry Doyle, tl.a former Santa Rita star, had a cigaret in his mouth while at batting practice and that coat him a lot of the friends he had made the previous Sunday. And Hnvla Dulled off at least one real 1 "bone" during the game. With two ! out. first and second populated, in the .UI..1 tnntnrv 1I.Ib 1.1. .... .. . ,... 1 on the base line between second and third. Doyle actually stepped out of the road of Meason to make a throw to first, which was wild, when he could have retired the side by reaching out his arm and tagging Meason. That performance alone took off some of the glamor. Photographers Pull "Hone." And then the photographers pulled another one in the fourth. Milan had dnmued a short tap between the ! pitcher and first base. Kdwards, Cow art and Roberts all ran for the ball. And no one covered first Naturally, the runner was safe and Meason scored ' from third. The redeeming feature of the Feld I man fielding was a running catch by I Crabb of Longmyre's high fly to left field in the slxtn. craDb got it after a winding run, but came near dropping it. He did some clever Juggling, how ever and held it. llix Goes on Mouuil. Pitcher Edwards was away below his form of the previous week. He was even slower, averaging IS seconds for each offering, and in the third inning he certainly lacked control, walking three men. In tho fourth he was hit freely and manager Howard Rix de cided that he would take the mound himself. The fan3 wanted to know if Rix Intended to hand the game to the bakers, but it seems that Howard used to work on the mound a few seasons back and he did some pretty fair work. He walked one, but didn't allow a hit in the two Innings he worked. "Shorty" Weiss was on the slab for the bakers. "Shorty" had his crossfire working in good shape and while he was pounded for five hits In the fifth. he had good control or the game all the rest of the way. With two gone in the third, by reason of pretty catches by Mortimer and Davis, the photograph ers got to Weiss for a single. Then Doyle got life on an error and the bases were filled when Tatum was hit But Weiss tightened up and fanned Gal legos. The Story In Figure. The box score tells the tale: Feldmans.

It seems that Henry was so busy sending peace messages that he overlooked the little matter of paying his taxes in California. "THERE are two "dissenting" ver dicts in that Willard-Moran af fair. John L. Sullivan comes out with a statement that "Moran won by a mile. Willard is a counterfeit champion." And Abe Attell a4 chimes in with a verdict for Moran. QHARLEY COURTNEY, the famous Cornell rowing coach, will have to retire from the game because of an injury received last fall. "Dad" won fame the world over for his wonderful success with the Ithaca oarsmen and his loss is the greatest the Cornell navy could possibly have. A LBUQUERQUE Commercial club has taken up the matter of rais ing funds to place that city in the Rio Grande league this year. The business men of the Duke City realize that a team in a real base ball circuit is an asset to any city and they are going at the financial end of things in the ri;iit manner. lWJILWAUKEE promoters offered Jess Willard $30,000 for a ten round bout with Fred Fulton in the thirsty city but Tom Jones, with a Circus contract in his hand, declared that there was nothing doing. He added, "Of course, if a suitable offer is made later, Willard can get a layoff from the circus." Now, what the dickens does he mean by "a suitable offer"?

Chris Fox sat in the grandstand and tnlri ttin T.'Mmnna tinn? tn nlar rtirl was carded for first base for this team, but was afraid he'd be too brilliant and show up the other players. Umpire Meckel's work was hardly up to the standard he set in his other exhibitions. The fans were not at all backward In telling him so. League secretary L. M. Coyne made his first appearance of the season and followed the games closely. He starts in as official scorer next Sunday. Manager "Red" Levlngsion was not In uniform Sunday. Maybe that was why the Rverybodys losL DACE feeling in El Paso? Forget it? There were about 400 good, redblooded American baseball fans out at Rio Grande park on Sunday and they yelled themselves hoarse for a little Mexican pitcher, Villa real, despite the fact that the young ster was working against an Amer ican team and a mighty popular one at that "VVHAT practice will do is demon strated every Sunday at the traps of the Pass City Gun club. Take the case of Herbert Rand. This 14 year old youngster was lucky to get nine or ten hits in 50 targets when he started shooting at the start of the season. But on Sun day he dropped 47 out of 75, which is good shooting, even for an adult. And some of the other boys who are handling guns at the weekly shoots are showing up almost as well. w (COMMERCIAL league managers will meet on Tuesday evening to decide the composition of the league this year. It is to be hoped that they will find room for the Eracka jacks this year. This team is de serving of a chance. It has been in the field for several seasons and is no unknown quantity by any means. The admission of this team will add to the excitement of the Commercial pennant race.
