won in the Ninth" by Christy
Nathewson-
Lost in the Seventh" by Hank
Mathewson.
1t may be Big Six with the Giants,
but Christys little brother, Hank, will
have TO be known to fame as Big
Seven. 1t was in that ever loving
seventh that Ell Paso got to the little
brother of the rich Christy in Sundays
game. Pitts lasted but three innings,
when Hank MathewsOn, who custom
arily plays left field for the Dons, was
put in to pitch. after a preliminary
warm-up lasting one minute. Hank
managed to get through the fourth
with but two hits and one run and con-
tinued until the seventh, when the
Mavericks stampeded on his straight
balls over and clouted them out of the
lot Everyone got a bat in this seS-
sion and some got two smashes at the
pill. The score book Of the fatal sew
enth resembles a Chinese laundry
ticket after a dust storm, and run
ming story of the game would have TO
be printed in serial form.
Everybody Bats.
The final reckoning was II to 2, each
of the II runs cutting the Douglas fans
like a personal insult. Ell Paso would
come TO bat, upper cut some of his
brothers brothers offerings for one,
two and three bases, scamper around
the lot and retire for another return
engagement. FL Paso scored two in
the first, one in the second. two in the
third, one in the fourth, four in the
Fights, and-oh yes. the seventh, seven
IN the seventh which proves that
there is luck in odd numbers for the
long horns.
Douglas got one in the fourth as
result of PowelTs single TO left which
sent Matty 20 third, to be scored sub
sequently by Wards little breezer to
right Douglass second and final score
came in the eighth when Olin Mills
hit for single to right, went to sec
ond on a wild pitch and was scored
later in the game by PowelFs single.
Everyone on the Ell Paso club got one
in the seventh but Wolfe and Gray,
who assisted materially in getting in
the crap shooting numbers.
Bodies Offerings Strong.
Bodies was the hero of the Sunday
game. Never since he has been pitch
ing in FL PaSo has he had so much on
his offerings as he had Sunday. His
curves were breaking all around the
corners of the plate and he outguessed
the Douglas batters regularly. He
pulled out of a number of bad holes by
his superb pitching and repeatedly re-
tired the side with strikeouts after

to score. In the third he struck out
the first two men at bat and retired
the third on an easy out. In the
fourth he got in bad by allowing three
hits and hitting Carlson on the head.
But he frightened down, and struck out
Pitts and retired the side. Again in
the sixth he struck out the third man
UP with two on.
He also outguessed pitcher Pitts in
the third Brown was on third and
Hewitt on second Wright was the
next man up and he was given a base
on balls, Intentionally by Pitts. who
thought he could get Booless goat
Right there is where the best laid plans
go Democratic. Bodies hit safe for
single, scoring both Hewitt and Brown.
He held Douglas to nine hits, all of
which were scattered, while FL Paso
got TO Pitts and Mathewson, mostly
the latter, for Is safe ones.
