five games pitched, while the other was
a twelve-inning tie with the sham
rocks.
The Occidental colored team will
leave for San Diego today, where they

only two games out of the fourteen

would like Catcher Soynn to call him
up, Soynn is wanted in the beach
town for next Sundays game.
The Directories will leave for Santa
Paula, Sunday morning, where they
will mingle again with the Santa Paula
team. The last time the two clubs
mixed the Directories were shorthand

the st. Vihcents players for the Uni

Tom Pierce, formerly of Polytechnic
high school and now attending ST. Vim
cents college, no doubt will be one OF

position to the plate.
Last Sunday on the Gardena dia-
mond, with man on third for the OPP
posing team, the right fielder threw in
from that position. The ball landed
few feet in front of the catcher and
bounded into his mitt, retiring the
runner, who attempted to steal home on
the THROWN.
1t is rarely that a manager of team
will protest against a score being made
for his team when it means that his
club will fall instead of advancing In
the percentage column. At Gardena
last Sunday Manager Abrams of the
Long Beach club created considerable
excitement by refusing to allow the
score keeper to tally a run for the peach
bovs on a questionable decision of the

column of the Southern States league
with a perfect percentage.
Sonly, pitcher for the National Lum-
her company team in the City league,
has an average of twelve strikeouts
in the past thirteen games. Although
this is an unlucky number, 1t seems
to be otherwise with Sonly, as every
dav when he reports for work he has
the pleasure of punching button "l3'
on the time clock and also the wagon
which he drives carries the license
number of il.
