Santa Zee at Belcn in nine innings by
the score of 3 to s. ana from the Al
buquerque Grays. in ten innings. by
the score Of S to 6. Both games We're
won in the final innings and the Vie
tories We're due to unusually heavy
hitting at opportune times, the 40
lads displaying wonderful knowledge
of %slugging the ball just when slug
sing WAS needed the most.
The game between 40 and Belen
was started at > o'clock and was hot
~ contested all the way. A%lbuuuer-
que gathered two in the second. and
W in the fourth. shutting the visit
Ors out until the fifth. when they
made q pair OF runs 40 then decid-
ed that two lore runs were needed
and pounded in thai many. Belen
followed suit and forced two men
across the plate in the sixth. 40
made n in the sixth and Belen add
ed another in the eighth. In a big
batting rally Belen hammered Weeks
for three hits in the first half Of the
ninth inning. making the score 8 to
T. It WAS then IN to 40 to do some
thing radical. Cornish was passed
and Lembke beat out q single. add
Vancing to . Crispin then
brought joy 10 the hearts of the 40
fans when he smashed Il Texas leagu-
or into deep center, scoring Cornish
ana Lembke and winning the game.
BY defeating Belen, the 40 team
won the right to try out with the
Grays and the SECOND section of the
double header WAS begun as soon as
the Relenites had HE'D themselves to
the grand stand, Weeks, who did
the heavy work for 40 in the first
game, WAS replaced by Dan O'Ban-
non. Considering the fact that Dan
Is not as young as he was about ten
years aSoi he pitched classy ball yes
terday ana with but a few brief in
~terruptions, his support was behind
him ell the time. The 40 team of
Yesterday vas almost entirely a diff
terent aggregation of ball players
than that which ha been'in the field
Tor several weeks past, With the line
up they had yesterday, it would be
difficult to tell just what would hap
pen to Amarillo.
The GlaNs were out TO win yester-
day and played baseball all the time.
Hfdnlgo was in good form. but he was
found on several different occasions,
tue Ilnd each time being detrimental
10 the Padilla aggregation. The Grays
drove in one run in the first. one in
the second, one in the fourth. one in
the seventh and two in the tenth. 40
was unable to score until the fourth.
one run was tailed. Two in the
and one in the ninth tied the
score and a tenth inning was neces-
sary.
Things had become SO exciting in
the ninth that the ans lett the grand
stand on masse and crowded down on
the sidelines, where it was with diff
Iiculty that they were kept off the
diamond. The Grays hammered in
TWO runs in the tenth and tihngs look
rd rather blue for the 40 lads. But
the old heads on the santa Fee team
s'"Ndied things down ana played ball.
l.elhOke got on and was advanced to
Jhlfd by Hays. Lembke reaching home
'n IN error. Wolf and O'Bannon got
TO tlfst on a pass and a base on balls
lnd Crispin closed the spectacular
performance by scoring the two run
lfls' making the final score S to 6.
The game between Belen and 40
Vas last and interesting. but the
NhlrlWind finish of the second con-
est was about the most exciting thing
nat mas happened in the baseball line
N Albuquerque during the season.
