TUFTS-LYON WINS
BRILLIANT VICTORY
DEFEAT LEAGUE LEADERS IN
FAST GAME
Pitcher Andradi Of Former Santa Bar.
bara Club Pitches Fast Ball and
Ends Game With sensa-
tlonsl Play

In a sensational manner Pitcher
Andradi of the Tufts-Lyon team stab
bed terrific liner from Lamer's bat
yesterday afternoon and like flash
snapped the sphere to second, doubling
r. Whalen, who had started OF a mad
dash for third as Lamer met the ball.
The brilliant stop of Andardi was not
the only bit of clever work which the
twirler got away with during the after
noon. Holding the heavy hitting Ex-
aminers to six swats and fielding his
position in perfect style, the former
Santa Barbara twirler sent the league
leaders to the first defeat which they
have experienced since the opening of
the season.
Nothing less than a great game was
the initial exhibition at Chutes park
between teams of the Southern Califor-
mia Amateur league and a faster exhi-
bition of fielding has not been witnessed
for many a day on local grounds.
The Tufts-Lyons had brought in And
radi for the express purpose of defeat
ing the apparently unbeatabl5 Examin-
ers. The latter came away with the
short end of a 2-1 score after an hour
and forty-five minutes of hair raising
ball. The unexpected occurred at all
times and scarcely had excitement SUBJ
sided, as something out of the ordinary
came to light, than another outburst
resulted.
Louis Lamer and Moriarty got away
with a couple of plays that had the
crowd going for several minutes. The
Tufts-Lyon boys played consistent ball
at every stage of the game and despite
their most ardent eXertiOnS the Exam
inerS were unable to overcome a lead
which the Tufts secured in the first in
ming. Babe Bresinos failure to hold
an attempted assist of Moriarty's in
the first round allowed the Tufts-Lyon
to score two runs
A single tally in the sixth was the
only run which the Examiners were
able to bring across.
Tom Whaling was in fast form and
allowed the winners but five hits.
Mcdonald was the first man to bat
for the Tufts-Lyon and went out pitch
er to first on an attempted bunt Hemis
walked and started second as Cline
bunted toward third. Moriarty coralled
the ball and shot it to Bresino at sec
ond. The little sack man allowed the
ball to get away, Hemis reaching third
and Cline second. Silvas singled to
right, scoring both runners.
The feature of the second inning was
Lamer's great stop of Bresino's swift
grounder over second. The play ap-
peared impossible and the shortstop re-
ceived an ovation for his clever work
Lamer made a similar play in the
fourth when Silvas sent a live one
across the keystone sack.
The Examiners only run cine in the
seventh.
Moriarty led off with a single to
right. Lamer attempted to- sacrifice
but reached first before Andradi was
able to secure the ball. Bob Whaling
was substituted to run for Lamer and
Andradi caught him mapping off the
sack. The situation forced Moriarty to
leave second and after a general chase
he was nailed at third.
= Mangerina bounded tantalizing slow
one on front of the plate and was
thrown out at first. In the meanwhile
Whaling had kept on toward home and
was safe by a close decision. "a
Tom Whaling singled and Henry
Bresino flew to his brother Babe in CEN
ter.
Mangerina came through with
clever snare of Andradi's high foul in
the seventh.
The second game was replete with
fast work and resulted in a victory for
the Hogee Flags, who won by score
of 20. Both Gamble and Hartman
pitched big league ball.
