Belen smothered the Grays in

81 hits for a total of SO bases, sur
passing the record made by Brook
Ign against Chicago the day be-
fore, when three Cub pitchers were
pounded for "a hits and total of
80 bases.
The Grays made six hobbies In
defensive work, but the errors
were not responsible for the high
number of runs. Belen's sluggers
had eyes and war clubs synchro-
nized, while the three moundsmen
for the Grays were nowhere near
in form.
The game opened like a good
one. Roberto's pass to Layne put
a runner on with one down in the
first, but the runner died at first

inning, scoring one run on a single
and error and fielder's choice.
Roberto pitched himself into a
hole in the second, with a runner
on first and second, through a hit
and an error. He then walked
the next two batsmen, forcing in
one run. With three on and none
down he pitched brilliantly. the
next three up being easy outs, with
no further scoring. Holman yield

two innings. The Grays' lack of
the necessary punch was shown in
the fourth, when two errors put
Manuel Sanchez on third, with one
down. Romero struck out and
Roberto hit to third for an easy
out. There was a runner on third
when Chief Erwin flied to right
for tho last out.

lade of hits in the eighth, Sando-
