COP GAME
FROM COLTS-HITTING
FEATURING THE FRAY

"Doggoned if I don't believe its be-
cause they can hit the ball, and the
pitchers are not to blame" So ex-
ploded Uncle Wilbert Robinson, the
well known stout party, as the Brook
Ign Regulars thumped Ed. Appleton
for eight hits in six innings yesterday
in beating the Colts by to 5, and then
tapped Monte Prieste's side arm de-
livery for four more hits, including
the double by Stengel, with two out,
and lack Wheat's line single to center
that scored Stengel with the winning
run.
Your uncle also exploded over the
rampage of the Colts in the fourth
inning, when they hoped onto Jack
COMBS choicest selection of twisters
for six hits, including two doubles.
THAT is not bad ball team the Colts
have quoth unkey. "They can hit
almost as hard as the Regulars, and
/ have seen worse outfits than those
Colts go through major season toll
! erably well, doing more than middling
good at times.
| Eyes, SIR continued the stout par
ty, t'it surely seems as if these high

safely in three trials against Apple

A catch by Jimmy Hickman of lack
Wheat's fly in the fifth was the most
notable fielding feature. It was right
off the shoestrings.
The demolishing of Jack Coombs by
the Colts in the fourth was a hurry
burly affair Hickman opened by
drawing a pass. He scored straight
way on the double of Ivan Olson to
center Ivan was expected to apply
the principles of inside baseball and
advance Hickman one base, but he pre-
ferred the more brutal method of scor-
ing him with a prodigious clout. Chris

the line. 1t does appear to those at
the diamond side that the hitting is
due to the eyes of the batters rather
than to any lack of substance in the
pitching. The real test will come when
the Athletics play here Sunday and
Monday, and the Superbas play the
AtbIaficc in ToolycopUiIJa o,, Tuocdo1,
and Wednesday, as a break in their
long jump from Daytona to Washing
ton.
One difference in favor of the Ath-
letics will be that their pitchers may
let themselves out more on their speed
than the Brooklyn pitchers have done
in the intra club games. The pitchers
for the Colts and Regulars are afraid

and that may have affected their work
to some extent Buster Mails frankly
said that he was not taking chances
on hurting a Superba when asked why

have no such false modesty. Per con.
