FAST GAME
SCORE REMAINED A BLANK
UNTIL THE EIGHTH INNING
Duet of HitSin the Eighth Gives
Browns Three Runs, While
CimarrOn Gets Lone Score in
the Ninth.

The fastest and cleanest baseball
Albuquerque has seen for many long
months is the unanimous verdict of
the seven hundred fans who saw the
Browns defeat Cimarron AT Traction
park yesterday afternoon by a score
of 3 to l.. 1t was an almost errorless
game; a game Of marvelopsly fast and
accurate fielding and a game which
brought out two of the fastest pitch
ers in New Mexico at their very best
PAGES. For eight long innings neither
team was able to force a man past
third. and when the Browns went to
the bat in the eighth il began to look
like the score board would have to
be heightened out.
Two clean little hits, the first and
only ones that Lockhart allowed, won
the game for the Browns, and the
crowd in the grand stand went wild as
the winning runs slipped in.
1t all came about through a little
let-up on the part of Lockhart, who
had been pitching gilt-edged ball. The
Swastika, who had up to this time.
had his mystic emblem right with
him, passed Kane and followed him
up with Lassater, then ne hit Hale
with the ball, filling the bases. 1t
was one Of those nerve-stringlng
points in baseball when every fan
wants to stick his nose through the
screen and hold his breath. Shay
wandered up and got a single. an ex-
ceedingly clean hit. right behind sec
ond base. Kane and Lassater scored
on it. Hale was cleverly caught at
the plate, leaving shay alone on
third. Then Mcdonald secured the
other hit. He placed his ball also
right behind second base and Shay
scored. That closed the game so far
as the Browns were concerned.
1t looked like a shut-out for CHM
arrUn, but in the ninth the Swastikas
got Curry onto first by an error. More
head singled and Cradle was passed to
the base. The Browns were still
playing their game. however. and Cur
~ was caught at third, where Kane
played an errorless game. Young.
however, secured a neat single Off
Galgano. and scored Morehead. That
ended the game. Young was caught
while playing about first base, and
Donovan struck out. All the way
through 1t was about the e%leanest ex-
hihition Of baseball his town has had
for q long time. The Browns were on
their toes and they had need to be.
for Lockhart was pitching wonderful
ball and his support was right behind
him. He struck out seven men, but

troll when control was needed, and
the Judgment he exercised. Galgano, |
while not up to his standard, stin
gave the Swastikas plenty to think
about. He got but four strike-outs, |
but his support was as fast and sure
as support could be. and the Albu-
boy was never off his feet for
a minute. McHugh, at shOrtstop. |
played the position for everything In

McHugh has an error chalked up
against him. but it was ON a hard
chance n there was no disposition
To criticise Il. The whole team work
ed hard, and it was hard work nat
won.
II viii take just about one more
game like this one To bring the Albu-
querque fans back to their Old-time
enthusiasm. The crowd yesterday
was the biggest Of the season. and
when Cimairon comes here again the
stand VIII not hold the people. The
