Champs Fall On the
Mighty Ballestero
(By G.. Green

The allied armies under the COM !
mand of General Ballestero at |
tempted to capture greater lead on
the flag but were met with heavy |
cannonading on the part of the foe
and repulsed with heavy losses, the
right flank of the foe under General
Chambers going clean around the
|allied armies, while Capt. Mira was
looking for re-enforcements. Again
the old standby Hall did the trick.
Steady as a clock was this young
man excepting in the fourth when
the Tampans got four bingles and
base on balls totalling three runs.
1t would have been more but for the
lightning work of Erie. With Her
rera on third and Leon on first,
Gutierrez hit TO short, Erie grabbed
the pill, shot 1t to first getting Gut
l'terrez, Branch shot it to second get
ting Leon, and Herrera was caught
at the plate, making the first triple
play of the League series. The To-
Gals batted and fielded in BIG
LEAGUE style, not a bo5ble being
registered against them, while the
Tampans made the worst kind of err
rors, especially Sorondo, who
dropped two easy pegs. Again the
feature of the game was the poor
umpiring. 1t is a shame to spoil a
good game of ball with such rot as
Lewis handed out for both sides.
Spivey again demonstrated his hit
ting powers, getting three bingles
out of five times up Tampa will be
here Friday.
