reversal of form-both offensive and
defensivc-resulted in a victory over
the Grays here Sunday. Moreover,
il gave new interest to the series,
which stood 2 to 0 in favor Of the
Grays, with Santa Fe apparently out
classed. The score was 4 to 3.
1t was a thriller all the way, by
big odds the most exciting game
that Santa Fe has played this season.
Rooters for the Grays took heart
from the jump-off, when G~allegos,
the lead-off slugger, caught one of
Weiss fast high ones and sent it
sailing over the right field fence.
The crowd was still roofing in the
ninth, when the Grays staged a bat
ting rally and threatened to tie the
score.
Gallegos' homerun was the only hit
the Grays could collect in the iir,t.
In the third, Gallegos duplicated his
homerun stunt with a long one to
left. These two runs represented the
tum total of the Grays' scores until
he ninth. For the first eight inn
ings, the Grays' offensive might have
been described as Gallepos versus
the Santa Fe team. In ) times at
bat, Gallegos got two home runs. |

In the second the Grays found
Weiss for two safeties, but did not
threaten. The home team found this
the big inning, and took advantage
OF every opportunity, except that
poor baserunning from third kicked
away a possible core. This stunt
was repeated in a later inning. -Four
runs were chalked up on five singles,
a wild pitch, a fielder's choice and a
hit batsman. Two moundSrncn were
sent out to warm up, but Slrdoval
weathered the storm and held thr
sluggers runlcss for the remaining six
innings. In the eighth, which WAS
the last the Grays were in the field,
Sandoval pitched only six balls to the
four batsmen who faced him.
In the sixth, squalls lowered over
the home team. With every bag
