GRAYS WIN LAST.
CAME Of SERIES
FROM GIBS0NITES
Afternoon SIug-FeSt Goes to
Grays by Score of l3 to 9;
McCanna Gets Four Hits
in Four Times Up.

The Grays redeemed themselves
yesterday afternoon after two de-
feats by the Gibsonites Saturday
afternoon and yesterday morning,
by taking yesterdays slug-fest by a
score of 13 to 8. Every man on
the Gray side made from one to
three runs.
Gibson started out yesterday
much as they had started the Sat-
urday game, three OF the first four
men up scoring. When the Grays
made only one run in their hall
the prospects looked dismal TO the
Gray fans, but the Grays seemed
bound to win one game and started
to work.
Both Teller, and Forsythe, who
pitched the greater part OF the
game for Gibson, were erratic dur
ing the game, varying some one
two-three strikeOuts periods OF
long drives on the part of the bats
men. Both pitchers were helped
by good support In the outtield,
while the infield was less accurate
in its handling of the ball.
The feature of the game was
McCanna's slugging, setting rec
ord OF four hits out of four times
at bat, in addition to walk on
which he scored a run. Two of the
hits were for two bases, and one OF
them brought in ArmiJo with it,
Guevara proved dependable man
at the bat, getting three hits out or
four times up, and scoring two
runs.
After the first inning the Grays
seemed to decide that IL they We're
going to pull a game out of the Sc
ries, they had better begin to work,
In the second inning the Gibson
men went down one-two-three be-
fore Terrelps pitching. and in the
second half the Grays took the
lead by scoring four men. The
Grays demonstrated that Shipley
could not hold them, and he was
replaced by Forsythe, Gibson's
speedy shortstop. Forsythe stopped
the Grays' slaughter until the sixth
inning, while Gibson showed two
more men over the plate in the
fourth, tying the score at five all.
In the sixth inning the Grays
stepped out further in front by
scoring two more men, and In the
first half of the seventh the Glib
sonites performed lifting batting
rally for the benefit OF the custom
ers, and sent three more men
across the plate, giving them a
lead of one ruin. The Grays refused
to be In the dust, ana pushed
ahead again in their half by scor-
ing two runs.
In the ninth inning the Grays
apparently wanted to give the fans
some value received for their
money, and kept up continuous
hit-and-run exhibition till they had
batted almost around. Four runs
resulted, and the Gibsonites were
unable to do more than help out
appearances by boosting their total
from eight to nine in the ninth.
A minor feature Of the game was
a spectacular catch by Tom Clark,
when he nabbed low drive into
right field after long run and a
big leap into space,
In the morning game the Grays
were defeated by 7-to-4 score, in
a game which was much more
businesslike than either the Satur-
day or Sunday afternoon games.
In the morning game the Grays
made four errors, against three for
Gibson. Sandoval. pitching the
morning game. pitched a nice
game, allowing nine hits, while the
Grays took eight from Shipley.
The score by innings of the
morning game was as follows:
r. H. e,
Gibson $50. 800 001 S00-7 9 3
Grays .101 10 O00-4 s 4
