SAINTS TAKE
FINAL GAME
SHuTOUT REGISTERED AGAINST
STANFORD
De Ybarrando Deals ?uzzIing Assort-
ment of Curves, Which Are
Largely Responsible
for Victory
BY J. n. wOoDsIDE.

Stanford took it's turn at parading
the gangplank of sorrow in front Of the
st. Vincent prod in the second of the
two-game series between the Cardinals
ord Catholics, and the northerners
were forced to return to their lockers
with a to brand of defeat glaring
like breakfast food sign from their
backs.
After it was all over and the dust
had settled the bewildered fans unani-
fnously wondered how the same team
so badly beaten but few short hours
before could reverse the tables so eff
fectually.
But take it from an eyewitness,
ecntle reader, there was one little dark
man there who was manipulating the
wires from the first time Jimmy Toman
shifted his quid, and Tommy de Ybar-
rando, If you haven't already guessed
right, was the name of the stranger.
The little Mexican directed the delivery
doings 30 we'll from the puzzle pagoda
that an insignificant twain of Cardinals
were all that were able to get farther
than the first gate, and nary a one
saw the thumb hand side of the half
way station.
Count up this talk and then add to
it consistent fielding and conservative
swatting on the part of every Saint
and you have the recipe the Catholics
used for cooking the Stanford goose.
The seasoning even was furnished by
the Cardinals themselves. The post
guardians pretty generally earned their
salaries, but the battery officials tried
repeatedly to overwork their passes
over the. balloon route. These excur-
sions taken at critical times possibly
looked more expensive than they really
were, but nevertheless cost dearly from
n score standpoint.
| Next to De Ybarrando, Shortstop
| Flick claimed the major part of ap-
riause from the grandstand. His
afternoons work totaled three putouts
three ASSISTS and three hits out of four
times on the witness stand. The fourth
ard fifth sessions caused the fans con-
siderable discomfort in holding their
breath while two fast double plays and
an outburst OF ultra heavy lamming
were executed.
Game by innings
Scott failed to intimidate Ybarrando
with a whiskery one straight down the
line, and was thrown out at the bag.
Owen drew a free trip. Fenton found
Gray wide awake in center and Bells
ambitions were also nipped in the bud
by the woodpile watch after hard run.
owen took care of his patronage from
Corbin, Lamer landed short before the
left fielder could make connections and
Theile threw wild in trying to catch
him at first. Flick singled again to the
sun parlor, but Lamer spoiled lovely
chance to register by trying to stretch
his boost across the plate. Grindle
famed.
Sampson opened the second with an
easy punt to Ybarrando and Writ
bodied the second station on a scratch
hit. Mitchell misguessed and Nc
Gregor retired his side with a pop-up
to Ybarrando.
Callahan wac allowed the sack for
dropping a slack ;nfield hit between
, three Cardinals and financiered to Sec
ond while O'Reilly was chopping. Gray
gave him a chance to the last corner
with a sacrifice, but Brannen struck
out before Callahan could get to the
finals.
Ybarrando started the hieroglyphics
On the signal board in the opening half
Of the third with the assistance of
Corbin, Lamer and Mitchell.
Stanford followed the usual prece-
dent In their period before the lime
light.
Callahan auspiciously seized the
lamrod for two pegs to right, and
O'Reilly advanced him to third with
clean safety. Gray chopped, but
Brannen filed the bags by getting on
the initial stop himself, and Ybarran-
do grabbed opportunitys scalp lock to
let Callahan and O'Reilly in to the
zee-nut basket. Mitchell obligingly
reniged on McGregor's throw in, CIV
ing Brannen the mystic charm legal
tender at the rubber.
Mitchell, McGregor and Theile went
down in the order named.
The remaining innings were unpro-
ductive of work for the score boy, but
several interesting plays and generally
fast work kept the time from dragging
in the estimation of the bloodthirsty
beings in the benches Ybarrando
proved equal to most of the occasions
he had toward disappointing the Jor-
dams, but whenever a Stanfordite
solved his problem some watchful
fielder found an error in his figures.
