HOENIX, ARK, June 4-Ray
- KalIio. in the most casual manner
4 possible, handed Phoenix the sec
ond licking Of the FL Paso series, to
i. in the rain yesterday. Pitching
waterproof ball at all stages Of the
game, and always Tightening in pinches,
the handsome youngster sent the local
batters about their business in the
most approved fashion. In other words,
the local pitching slump continues like
a large, dark blue cloud on the horizon
All the FL PaSO scores came IN the
fourth when McCreery temporarily
lost control OF the situation and per
mftted three singles TO slip by him IN
a row. After Perrine had famed,
measly little one-base blows by Mathes,
buddy and Thompson sent the first
baseman over. This was the situation
when the downpOur became too mucn
even for Kane. and he hustled the ball
players under the grandstand for 20
minutes respite The shower was soon
over. but the growing clouds continued
to sprinkle the ball lot when the
players shook themselves and scat
tered to positions The very first ball
McCreery showed over, was poked down
to ScanlOn by Jack Bliss Scanlon
rubbed out Thompson at the plate
ScanlOn. however, was doomed to get
his daily boot in this inning.
Really booted II.
Bauer hit a troublesome ball. appar-
emily a weak grounder. Scanlon justi-
fed the baseball slang term boot,
when he missed the ball with his hand
and really kicked it over toward first
base. letting Thompson score. As If to
make up for it. Scanlon then caught
out Pendleton on a singing line drive.
PhOenix's one score happened in the
sixth. when one OF the innum cradle
rallies made a noise like going to re-
suit in something Hester doubled and
scored on Pendleton's wild throw OF
Nuts grounder. Kane gave Mutt third
base on il and Perrine gave notice OF
protest. It is believed Perrine has for
gotten his protest in view Of the re-
suit Of the game anyway. here was
Mutt all comfy-like on third, with the
heavy hitters coming up 1t was per-

Bowling dumped one in front of the
plate and Bliss easily expunged him at
first. Lynn grounded to Pendleton-
Hester pulled out McCreery to let
Brown. a pinch hitter. bat in the sew
enth. only to have Brown Whit on him
Sonoquf went in and began to slap
over his slow BALL which despite the
dark gray atmosphere, was puzzlingly
DOvIinE's Racket.
Then Bill Bowling got into a fuss
with Kane over filming DemaggiO for
getting sassy. and when Bill squared
away, Kane whipped the mask OF his
face and called the largest cop ever
seen on the local grounds. who
chaperoned Dawling TO the clubhouse.
Hester had permitted Brown to bench
himself after his pitifuI pinch-hitting
effort and had no fielder in uniform to
work, so he sent Red Toner to first
and took second sack himself.
AS luck would have il. Toner got
two hard chances and fielded them
perfectly. But he hit exactly zero.

So did SonOqui.
Lynn happened on a hit in leading of
in the ninth and McCardle showed the
FL Paso infield what a perfect sacrifice
hunt looks like Pittman then flew

closely scrutinized by both buddy and
KalliO as II lazily streaked wet sand
