FOOL TWINkLERs
Rockenfield and Raymer Make Three-
Hasgcrs in One Of the Fastest
Games Seen at Chutes
Park
All, STARS. 3, RALsroNs, 2.

After Stovall, the San Diego pitcher
with the wonderful curves, had held the
Stars down for seven innings without
smell, the twinlxlers rallied, tied the
game in the eighth and won 1t in the
ninth before a small but enthusiastic
crowd of fans at Chutes park yesterday
afternoon.
The wind blew chill, and the few faith
full ones who had gathered to do homage
sat with their coat collars stuck UP and
their stiff hands tucked in their pockets
during remarkable game OF baseball
that deserved a packed stand
Stovall is a pitcher of the first water.
He throws one of the widest curves and
hardest balls ever seen on local dia-
mond and famed six Stars yesterday
Both sides went out one, two, three in
the first four acts. Goliath took Frary's
place behind the bat for the visitors in
the fourth.
The Ralstons got run in the fifth,
but 1t was unearned. Otrey walked on
McCloskey and got to second on Easter
ly's passed ball. Then Easterly held the
horsehide too long and Raymer muffed
bad throw. allowing Otrey to score
easily. Nothing more came off Murdock
fouling to Basterly, and Goliath and
Muller tanning.

on Rockenflelds muff of Colbath's poor
throw The Stars here had their first OPP
| portunity to put one acress, but were
robbed by Jimmie Toman, who handled
| the indicator indifferently. Roy Bra
shear batted for McCloskey and Toman
gave him three very rotten strikes.
In the sixth after McCloskey had al
ready famed six men, Oscar Jones took
his place and proceeded to fan five more,
making a fast game out of 1t.
| Shaw led off for the Ralstons in the
sixth by tanning. Mccarthy flew to

he ran to first DAILY popped to short.
Courtney flew to right. Lawier took sec
ond when Goliath dropped the ball and
gained third in the same way. Eddie
Householder walked and stole second
after making monkeys out of the visit
ors in an exciting chase. Easterly
walked and the Stars were due to make
run, but Lawler did some bum playing,
failing to come in from third when
Householder drew the throw on going
down from second.

safe. Mccartney dropping sizzling
grounder. Courtney sacrificed, Shaw to
Otray. Eddie Householder slammed out
a two-bagger, which hit right on top
of right fence, and then perversely
bounced back into the field instead of
| going on over for a home run. But
Householder's two-bagger brought DAILY
across the plate and tied the score. Eas-

the THROWN, making the score to 1 in
favor of the Stars. Raymer continued the
slugglng. smashing a two-bagger to right
center fence, and took third on Col

carnival by being caught off third while
doing foolish business.

and played very fast ball. Shaw hit to
