BEALL ~. AOY 70.
The first game Of the mornings entertain
ment was staged between the Beall and Aoy
schools. The jumps" tossed up the coin and
Aoy's captain called heads and he then
chose 10 take the field The jumps" again
came into prominence by announcing the
batteries. Mendoza and Rodriguez for Aoy:
Harley and Holquin for Beail-
The dope was upset in the first inning as
il was generally conceded that Aoy would
win by a comfortable margin but the Beall
boys had their batting eyes sharpened up
and went after Mendozas offerings right
from the start and scored three runs in
the first After that inning. until the sixth.
Mendoza had very little trouble stopping
the rungetters Of the Beall team.
Harley pitched fine game throughout
and his support was very good in tho
pinches. In the sixth. the Beail boys put
the game on ice by scoring six runs and, in
the last three innings, added II more for
good luck. Great credit should be given tho
Beall boys for their showing in Saturdays
battle with last years champs. The Beall
at that school and he has made sreat
showing.

their own way. going through the entire
season without a defeat but this season.
after a good start, they received their
bumps az the hands Of the fast san Jacinto
crew aud. saturday. they were handed
another dose OF tho same medicine. It
seems as If the Aoy boys give up when

should inject little more real fight into
their team and they would put UP better
game
