Daytona. Fla, March est was
Cuba against Flatbusn on the diamond
here to-day, and Flatbush won. Flat
bush is in Brooklyn, and Brooklyn
boasts the Superbas. The score was
8 to >
Mr.. KLEIN was one of the umpires,
and he does not understand Spanish,
for which he gives thanks. When the
Cubans found this out, one al least
Louis Padrine by name turned TO
English and remarked, after being
called out on strikes
"Senor KLEIN, | don't make out. You
mees him that far" and Louis stretched
glared his opinion of the arbiter's judg-
ment Of curve balls.
In private he announced that all UNI
pires were bad, but some were worse
than others.
But if the Cuban boys were short
on their knowledge of English they
played a fast, snappy brand of base
ball, and the game measured up to the
standard Of those played against the
Athletics.
They helded well. hit well and ran the
bases like wild men. The Calvo broth
ers, Tom and JacintO, who were signed
~ Washington two years ago, played
superior ball in the outfeld, and both
made spectacular catches OF hard hit
balls. Acosta. the pitcher, half-Sized
youth. pitched clever ball, and Tonez,
the catcher, is possessed Of an arm like
Jimmy Archer's.
1t was clear case of too much class,
however. and the Superbas were able
TO execute their moves when the sue
cess of the issue depended. They
punched their hits when hits meant
runs. and if Robbie had not firted with
the arm of Tone2 in the seventh inning
the score might have mounted into
double figures.
I'm that frame the Superhas made
five hits. including a double by Dau-
bert, but scored only two rams. To
begin with, Joe Schultz singled, but
was out stealing second Then Jake
Daubert doubled. but he, too, tried out
the arm Of Tonez and died the death
at third. George Cutshaw picked out
this particular moment TO drive the
ball into the outfield. ami Robbie
counted the two runs that might have
been. Buck Wheat was next TO lace
out a single. sending Cutshaw 20 third
and taking second on the throw, and
home. Ill was out trying for second
on the throw home. Brooklyn was not
so lax with the other chances Il court.
Robbie sent in his full :'rength
against the boys from the Antilles.
Elmer Brown. the side-wheeler. started
the game. and held forth on the mound
for five innings. II was on Brownie
that the opposition scored TWO runs.
Brownies gift laid the foundation for
both. and two stolen bases heIped
along.
In the fifth inning Jacinto Calvo
raced all the way from second when
Gctz booted bounder from villa.
Charlie Schmutz. the lanky Seattle lad.
finished on the mound in stvl1. de
was found for couple of hts. but
Charley was AT his best when CON
fronted by situation and escaped.
Schmutz worked with such easy grace
that the crowd laughed and wondered
just how il was that the hits did not
rattle out. As a matter Of fact. Char
ley never worked in more pa, lstaking
manner. and his spit ball broke over
the plate with terrific speed and baf-
fling twists. All signs indicate most
successful season for this boy. and he
may be regular when the Scam goes
North.
Joe schulz is another who means to
stick. He is hitting the ball TO all cor
ucrs Of the lot, and every time he
comes to the plate the crowd demands
a .riple. To be sure, Joe does not al
WAYS satisfy these demands, but he
has done more hitting III the cXhibi-
ton Games than anv Of the other men.
and i does not look like a flash in the
nan He has free. graceful style Of
hating and steps into the bali fear
leSsly.
Gus Gctz is going well at shortstop
snd Olic OMara will have TO attend
70 his knitting to break into the com
bination. O'Mara. be II said. is coming
along nicely. He has ceased TO favor
