GONZALES IS BIG
FIGURE IN GRAyS'
DEFEAT Of ELKS
Goes to Mound When Score
Stands 8 to O in Favor of
Santa Fe and Holds Visitors
While Locals Drive into Lead

"Rube" Gonzales, a slim youth from
"across the river" again played the
role of rabbit foot for the Grays
There wasn't so much luck as good
pitching, however. i'm his part in de-
feating the Santa Fe Elks He held
the visitors to four hits in the six in
nings that he pitched and led in the
attack on Pitcher Hubbard with
home run and two singles
Santa Fe started fast, getting three
runs in the first two innings, whila
Hubbard held the Grays scoreless nm
til the fourth. The Grays then took
the lead and held it, The score was
10 to ;.
Ramon Sandoval went to the mound
for the Grays at the opening. but his
slow ball was trifle too slow, or per-
haps a little too fast for a well be-
haved retarded delivery. At any rate
it was to the liking of the Elks, who
found his offerings for three singles
in the second which, combined with
an error. gave them two runs. p.
Berardnelli, the first man to face
Sandoval in the third, slammed the
ball for two bases and Manager Dan
Padilla called Saudoval to the bench
for a needed rest.
Gonzales put his game on ice in the
seventh. The Grays had only a one
run lead then and the southpaw evil
IDENTIFY thought that the margin wasn't
safe enough so he drove the ball to
deep left field for home run, sCor-
ing Nose Chavez ahead of him. 1t
was the beginning of a rally which
drove Hubbard from the box and
netted the Grays five runs before the
chapter was closed.
The abundancy of umpires was one
of the features. In all four arbiters
did duty, but in spite of their number
at one stage of the game there was
only one on watch to call strikes and
balls and keep at least one eye on the
bases. Wickham, the Grays' nomi-
nation. was the only one that went the
full nine innings.
Nav was Santa Fe's first choice, hut
he walked off the field when his
Judgment in calling Nose Chavez out
on strikes was questioned. Warren
followed him, but abdiCated after the
visitors had protested when he called
PARENT safe at first after an attempt
ed double play. Anyhow Warner
seemed to be worried about his new
straw lid" which he had exchanged
for Stumpfs cap. 1t was drizzling ant
Stumpf insisted on wearing the straw
on the bench. although he was ad
vised to sit on it, to protect 1t from
the rain drops. Digneo followed war
rem and finished the game.
Davy drew cheers from the bleach
ers in the sixth by a spectacular catcl
which cut down in the bloom of youti
a Santa Fe batting rally. Closson ha'

Bauers sent up a hgh-angle fou
which dropped behind the players
bench-into Days mitt The Ora
third baseman had to pillow through
the crowd and circle behind the benc
to catch the ball. The next two Elk
were easy outs.
Another feature was Tenorio's glar
ing larceny. Running for Gonzales /
the eighth, he stole second and stop
ping there only long enough 10
Pitcher Lopez to send another ba
toward the plate, he raced to third 10
another steal.
