fluke single past third.
Stewart should have had a shutout
game with but one hit chalked
against him 1t was the most bril-
liant performance of his whole pitch
ing career with Arizona.

Troiaus. also pitched a great game,

first inning, but frightened thereafter
and held Arizona hitiess until the
seventh. Stewart started his team
TO victory by knotting the score with
a sinsle that shot past Riddle foo
hot to be handled. 1t was grea1
pitching duel until the last Of the
eighth. when Thorl.t on weakened and
his defense wobbled. Then the Wild
cats tucked it safely away. The big
cest crowd of the series was on
hand
Kuhns and Riddle starred for Call
fornia in the field, both covering lots
Of territory and robbing the Wildcat
r7tsmen of several hard hit balls
ticketed for safeties. To Kuhns goes
greatest credit. for he made two SEN
sationaI catches that cut off possible
Arizona tallies.
Stewart shared honors OF the day
for Arizona with little Gus O'Con-
nor who played beautiful game at
short. He accepted nine hard
charges without the semblance of a
hobble.
The game was fast all the way
with both teams trying hard to win
the deciding game. Today's victory
makes the second time Arizona has
defeated the Trojans in three game
series. Stewart has won three OF
the four victories credited to Arl-
zona.
