PART II

Zlies came whooping into Tucson for q
two game series. The Grizzlies were a
chesty aggregation. which had been
making life burden for the Phoenix
Terrors. the Prescott Grays and the
Cananea Coyotes.
The Eagles had always been easy
pluckIng for the Bisbee club. and the
sporting men who journeyed with the
team offered.sto bet TO I on the
game In which Moreno would pitch. or
8 to 10 that the Grizzlies would win
both games. Pete Moreno. a Mexi-
can. was their star pitcher. with d
seasons record Of eleven victories and
a single defeat.
.Better get you some OF that . to /

Will eat 'em alire!'
Lew Kelly pitched on Saturday and
was properly and painfully lambasted
by the Grizzlies. The only bright spot
was the work Of the new catcher. He
threw out the first three men who
started to steal second base. caught
one man nap1ing OF first and another
of third and made three long hits out
of four times at bat. After the fourth
inning the Grizzlies Rugged the bases
and waited for the safe hits. George
White of st. Louis had them glued to
! the sacks.' as the morning paper ex-
pressed Il.
But on Sunday the Oregon baby"
was called upon to face the inyIncible
Moreno. and. as White had prophesied.
he ate them alive. Just as q sample or
what ne could do Il really pressed. Ell
Bates OF Eugene struck out the first
four men who faced him and sent the
entire Grizzly lineup back to the bench
sore from swinging Mt his deceptive
curves Some Of them drew fouls,
which White cared for: others hit
weakly down the infleId and were toss
ed out at FIRST base. In about seven
minutes Tucson was aware that the
red headed recruit had something"
and the betting odds switched to even
money.
Pete Moreno held his own until the
sixth inning. when White smashed out
/. q long triple and the redbead followed
him with a vicious line drive between
Mpreno's shoulder and ear. White
scored, and the Mexican pitcher blew
up With loud report. Before he re-
covered Dutch schmidt whaled the BAH
over the left field fence. and three runs
won the game.
In no time at all the Eagles, once q
team feared BY none. became the ter
rors OF the Arizona circuit. The bet
ting switched until Tucson men fought
for a chance 70 bet to I on Bates
whenever he pitched. Patsy Delaney
took bis club on tour. and IL won
eight gnmes out OF ten, Eli Bates scor-
ing nix shut outs.
One night shortly after the Eagles
returned home Oily Tom Blake. a
gambler reported to be worth well into
eve tgures. received call from George
White. George SPARED very cleveriy

q plan which caused Oily Tom to set
