Taking advantage Of the poor form

VeNtcrday afternoon won handilN from
The Peerless club Of Santa Fe, the fl
nal result being 9 to 8 in favor of the
locals. Chevalier was the offering for
the Peerless yesterday, Eddie Stafford,
the regular twirler being unable to
make the trip. And Chevalier was a
burnt offering. At no stage of the
game was he effective enough to pre-
vent the Grays from taking a crack
at the ball. BY punching their hits
and getting on bases when the visit
ors were not playing gilt edge style,
Albuquerque managed TO pound out
enough runs TO win 1--WE games.
The game was never fast at any
stage, fourteen errors being the total
number OF misplays Tor the day. To
make matters worse, Il situation de-
veloped in the first half of the sec

from the Peerless side, it being claim

Alarid was safe. Ortiz insisted that
Weeks had not baked and ordered
Alarid to the bench. Urged hy bis
team mates to stay with it. Johnnie
sat down on the bag to await develop

suited, which rapidly assumed such
proportions thai ortiz was surrounded
by excited players, managers and fans
all protesting against, or upholdins
his decision.
Finally the Peerless men left tht
