RAY BEATS MAGMEN FOUR TO TWO;
SONOOUI NEEDS BRAKES refined;
DOC HUTTONS MACHINE IMPROVES
SUNDAY CONTEST ON LOCAL LOT AGAIN DEM
STRATES ABILITY OF RAYITES TO DEFEAT
ALL ASPIRANTS TO BUSH LEAGUE HONORS
GREENHOOD'S PLAYING FEATURE.


fans from the Magma metropolis, Ray
gobbled up the Superior team Sunday
the score being to g. The contest
was one of the best-played exhibitions
of the national game seen at the local
ball lot in many moons, and despite
the utmost that the visitors could do,
Doc Hutton's squad of ball-tossers
proved themselves superior to Su-
perior. The fact of the matter is that
the Ray fans have the Lest baseball
team in the state, and when Doc gets
his new pitcher and one or two others
here that he is after, he, will have a
team no bush league could possibly
hope to defeat.
Sonoqui Shows Speed
Too much speed by Sohoqui, Su-
perior's fast-sprinting left fielder.
proved costly to the Magmans, or Mag
men, or whatever you call EN-, Sun
. day afternoon. Sonoqui's two-base hit
to deep center caused him to amble
around the bases at such a rate that
he violated the speed limit. His
brakes failed to work as he approached
the second pillow, and in desperation
he stepped on the accelerator, trying
to stretch a perfectly good two-bagger
to the third station. Officer Guest,
who is among the most efficient mem
bers of the Ray traffic squad, pinched
him somewhere off the coast of second
base, and he was towed in to the pier
and moored to the bench for the re-
mainder of that frame Which, aside
=. from the scrambled metaphors, is
about what cost Superior the game.
A howl of protest Ey the visitors
when one of their aggregation was de-
clared out at home added flavor to the
contest. Their objections were ap-
parently to even up the count because
Rays manager had asked that Welt
eel be sent to the bases and Baker
put in as chief, but all in vain. The
general opinion was that the umpires
saw the things as they were and made
correct decisions.
Greenhood must have taken his
mind off the republican convention
and transferred his thoughts to base
ball, for he played an unusual game.
This may. have been accounted for by
q nj
during this game, and it looks as if
that is where he belongs, if playing
is to be criterion He got three hits
out of four times up.
Mitchell, Day, Garcia
AS to Harry Mitchell, he must have
had an off day. He seemed to have
decreased in his hitting in about the
same proportion that Greenhood had
shown an increase. Even with his
three strike-outs in four times at bat
he managed to get base on balls and
stretched it to home with the assist
ance of Greenhood's hit to right in
the sixth, and a wild pitch.
LAY, WnO ldU JOIu0Q I1uILOH gang
for the day. showed. up fairly good,
even though he had not been in the
game for some time. He got on first
on tumble and managed to slide over
the plate
Garcia. who played left, was picked
up in Sonora as likely player when
he gets little more experience, and
it was fortunate for Doc that he did
no worse on the 18th.
The other boys of Ray team played
good ball, and while there was moth
ing sensational, it shows that they are
right on the job.
Superior people came to Ray and
turned out as many in numbers as
Ray at this game, and they were full
of pep.
To have to take our Tony from back
stop and put him on the mound is
surely hard luck, but the Unfolding
and the outfielders did nobly and saved
us another defeat, and the ability Of
Tonneman to play the dual role is
surely help to the Ray team.
