MORANS WIN AFTER THEY
BUNCH HITS ON RALEIGH
Swifts Break Into Florence Grahams'
Long String of Victories-But
Few Games in Amateur
Ranks

Bunched hits on pitcher Raleigh of the
Del Reys proved the undoing of his team
at the Chutes yesterday, when the Morans
batted out a victory in the eighth inning
and won the contest by a score of to 2.
The game was a regularly scheduled event
in the Southern Coast league ranks, and a
good crowd was on hand to see the sport.
Up to that fatal eighth act Raleigh held
his opponents down to three scattered
hits, none of which was good enough for
a tally. The Del Reys, on their part, got
busy in the first inning, and combining
one hit with a bunch of Moran errors
chased two men over the platter.
There they stopped, and it looked as
though that opening round would be the
only one productive of any runs, but the
big show finally materialized and the Mo-
rams left the field with the big score.
Simonds was on the slab for the Morans
and he twrlde good ball The seven hits
chalked up against him were all scattered,
and had his team stuck together the
beach combers might have been shut out.
He struck out five men, but was topped
by Raleigh in this regard. as the latter is
credited with fooling nine of his oppo-
nents. Babe Whaling pulled off a double
play unassisted and two-baggers were
made by Ritter, Whaling, Mangerina and
Rodner.
Florence Grahams Lose
The Florence Grahams went up against
a snag when they played the Swifts at
Seal Gardens yesterday Afternoon, and
went down to defeat by a score of II to
8. With string of ten straight victories
before them, the Florence Grahams were
confident of beating the Swifts, but when
the latter bunch made a strong rally in
the ninth. inning the team with the lady S
name went up in the air.
Up to the end of the eighth the game
was close enough to suit anybody, but
when they came to the bat for the last
time the Swifts got real busy and a
slaughter ensued. Before they let up
eleven runs had been recorded, and the
Florence Grahams were unable to even
make a bluff at overcoming this handi-
cap. Bilande and Mcleod performed the
battery work for the winners, and the
former pitched swell game
For some reason or other amateurs and
semi professionals fought shy of the dia-
mond yesterday, and the number of
games played was small, using other Sum
days as a basis of comparison. The Hoe
gee Juniors and the Halbriters were in
the midst of a close game at Thirty
eighth and Santa Fe when they were
forced to leave the field and make way
for other teams, and as five innings had
not been played it was declared no con-
test According to that guardian angel
of busher ball, Red Ferkins. the follow
