PETERS HAD OFF DAY
Made Only. Four HON.
ers in Five Visits to
the Plate

If Mr.. Peters had left off his rub
ber undershirt yesterday he would
have had a perfect day. Anyway, he
contributed something to the after
Moons enjoyment of several hundred
pop-eyed bugs and buggines who as
sembled for nine rounds of national
pastiming under one set of auspices.
He didn't get his round trip in the
1 fifth inning because of puncture.
Between rounds, however, Mr.. San
ford, the electric welder, vulcanized
Mr.. Peters shirt and he made the
last two circuits with plenty of airs.
In early days we were tutored to
tell it all in the first paragraph, but
we beg the kind indulgence of a con-
siderate clientele for failing to hang
out the shocking statistics incident to
Mr.. Peters handicapped pastiming
without due forebearance. So, thus
we find it in the second paragraph
Pals 10, Saints 2.
While on fishing trip recently Mr..
Peters contracted water on the elbow
and after it had been pumped out the
docs prescribed a rubber shirt to
avert relapse. Pumped full of hot
air this serviceable garment is said to
keep all parts of Mr.. Peters dia-
Iphragm in perfect running order,
something like the effect Of heat in
Ford oil cruet. After he had blown
two over the outerworks Mr.. Peters
thinks some visiting zealot fired a
bean at him, puncturing the garment,
and causing his third effort to fall
few inches short! But the first aid
of Mr.. Sanford saved him complete
| disaster.
Others Had the Range
But Mr.. Peters did not occupy the
spot alone. 1t played on singles and
groups. Senior Larzo, the social fa-
vorite, Mr.. Brack, the nicog, and Mr..
| Wynne, picnic hero, each found the
range over the enemy lines and add
ed circuit drives to their batting av-
erages. Wot if they had worn rub
ber shirts, too? Senor Villarino did
not get into the high airs but played
solo, Five singles in six times up
satisfied the taciturn castillian.
But to enumerate all of the pieces
de resistances would leave no interest
in the vital statistics appended be-
low. A war correspondent in the
press coop summed it up by saying
that brilliant attack and a redoub-
table defense won for the Pals.
Saint Francis, the Rescuer
After Mr.. Peters had fired off his
third circuit drive in the sixth, with
two down, and five runs across the
pan, Mr. Hernandez wig-wagged dis
tress. Mr.. Andrue had blown up in
the third, and Mr.. Colee declined to
lead forlorn hope. 1t was then that
Saint Francis sprang into the breach
! in determined effort to check, if pos
sible, the waning fortunes of battle.
He Used his vacuum ball. The vac
uum ball has nothing to it, but the
transition was so complete that for
moment it made the Pals dizzy and
n the seventh Stonewall hung up the
first circle o for the sterling locals.
Mr.. Francis was visibly elated and Mr.
Mcdaniel descended from the top rail
f the center field fence. But the
fortunes of battle wavered not for
long. Senior Larzo pried open the
eighth with singing single and af-
ter Mr.. Robinson had popped to short
Mr. Peters popped to the colored
lodge home just beyant Mr.. MeDan-
iels, Mr.. Brook singled, Mr., Eppersor
promenaded and Mr.. Callahan cleaned
up with double which busted dowT
