NINETEEN;
SANTA ROSA FIVE

Last Sunday the Santa Rosa
ball team, strengthened by the
Montoya battery, Thomason and
Jones, came over with the avowed
intention of retrieving their lost
reputation. They were, OF course
beaten badly by Hitson's Tucum-
carl Athletics.
During the first six innings the
locals did some hard and consistent
ball playing, piling up twelve runs
to their opponents one, but after
that let down and took things easy.
The game resulted in a score OF
nineteen to FIVE in favor OF Tucum-
carl.
Farr Herring and Vaught made
a good battery, Herring pitching
an excellent game, considering the
fact that he has been on the hos
pltal list Tor three weeks.
Bess, who has also been a hos
pitel candidate, was again able to
play second base, making six put.
outs to his credit and also getting
a home-run with the bases full in
the second inning.
The team is getting in shape for
the fair, and with no bad luck, will
be able to hold their wi or even
better against any team in the
Territory.
