The Cuban Stars again were
entirely subdued by the Colonels
in the second contest Thursday
afternoon, losing by the score OF
5 to o. Wylie Taylor, who
pitched for the Kentuckians in
the first five innings, allowed
only one safe hit, and Jim Mid
dleton. who completed the game,
did not give a safety.
Fernandez, who worked for
the Cubans, was nicked for only
five safeties, one of them a
doubtful blow, but he gave three
passes and hit three Of his op-
ponents. Fernandez is fond of
posing in the box. but is likely
youngster at that.
Daniels, with triple and a
single, did the best sticking for
the Kentuckians. They got all
of their runs in the third and
fourth innings. In the second,
after the first two men up had
flied out, Stansbury singled to
left and took third on a hit and
run play when Weinberg drove
a long single to the same field.
Weinberg stole second. but they
were left when Crossin ground
ed to Vilarin.
In the third inning, Taylor
scratched a single to second, and
was sacrificed up a base by
Platte. He took third when
Midkift grounded to Vilarin, and
came home on Daniels triple to
right center. Daniels scored on
a passed ball. Osborn, who
walked, was caught stealing.
Derrick drew a pass to inau-
gurate the fourth. Stansbury
hit to Fernandez, whose throw
to second was too late to force
Derrick, who had a big lead, but
the relay got Stansbury at first.
Weinberg grounded to the pitch
er, Derrick taking third. Cros-
sin was hit by pitched ball and
stole second. Taylor grounded
sharply to second, who fumbled,
and both runners counted. Tay-
lor made second on the play by
being alert, then got to third on
a wild pitch. He scored when
Platte was safe on another error
by Sorando. Platte stole sec
ond, but was nipped trying to
pilfer third after Midkiff walked,
being caught on the fourth ball
to Midkiff.
