CALlPATRIA BY
rs SCORE

The badly crippled Braves journcycd
to Calipatria yesterday afternoon to
cross bats with the home team there,
and, despite the fact that several of the
stellar performers were missing, manag-
ed to gain a victory by a score of Z to
6 in hard fought game. Already weak.
encd by the departure of Josh Bill
ngs, the team was further handicapped
| by. the absence of "Babe Ruth I"
Tackett.
In the fifth inning the game nearly
! broke up when the umpire called q Cali.
patria player out at second base after
the speedy recovery of an overthrow
over first and q quick peg to second to
catch the base runner. Calipatria con,
tended that the runner was entitled to
the extra base without having to make
it, and after a long argument, finally
prevailed on the umpire to change his
decision. This coupled with q pair of
hits, netted Calipatria two scores and
almost cost the Braves victory.
