Not only was the visiting tebm

the landslide was continuous one and
the fifteen runs were all safely scored

Gays work on the mound was well
below par. The Santas' Cap had a
hard time in the pinches and the pin.

ing the slaughter. Altogether his de-
livery was trifled with fourteen times
and each time counted to the fullest
extent. Only two players on the Twen.
ty.ffth team failed TO connect with o
safety. Grafton didn't play his usual
good game. To be sure, he made home
run, and scored four runs thereby, but
aside from that, he didn't do much. %.

Then came the slaughter. After a
preliminary ground-out by Cavalry
Jack Ware, Dad Swinton hit a texas
Lacquer to inside right. Rogan was
thrown out Mt first by o Neil. Grafton
singled to left field and scored Swinton.
johnson then placed a ee.bagger
over Wilson Is head in right field and
he scored Grafton, the circus player.

let Smith get safe on the initial sack
and Mt the same time let johnson, of
three-base hit, romp in. With three
safeties already marked down against
Cap Gay, Goliah had no mercy and
slammed the next one into left field.
Hawkins, not to be outdone, brought
in Goliah for the fourth run in about
as many minutes by banging a two,
Dagger into the much abused left field
territory. Aulston 8 fly to Bensberg,
which, by the way, was as pretty q
ope-ha nded, sidetstepping, shoestring
catch as has been witnessed ut first
base for many moons, retired the side.
Hawkins safety to lef field started
things out in the right manner for the
invaders. Aulston then attempted to
advance the first runner by a sacrifice
bunt, but Gay threw wild over Bens,
berg's head at first and while the
santa Clara first baseman, pitcher, sec
ond baseman, and right fielder gazed
at the ball, Hawkins made the circuit
OF the bases and scored the fifth run.

garden by Jerry Desmond let in five
more runs before the last man was out
IN the fatal fourth. Aulston, Rogan,
Grafton, Smith and johnson were the

Bliss On the Mound
The fifth began with Roy Bliss in the

the fifth act, the official scorer rang
four bells for the four additional cir,
