PALS PUNCH PERI
..FOURTE.EN TIMES
AND WIN OPENER
Dope Ball Is
WaterIogged and Not
Very Potent

perz's punch pellets were not dis
pensed by the celebrated apothecary
in the first prescription he mixed up
for the Pals, but hard, fast ball was
served and they beat him : to O..
Some "oId head" has been teaching
'Mr PERI new tricks and like some
druggists he adulterated his goods
Mr.. Perz's fast ball has no element
of cupidity that can deceive the hard
boiled Pals.
, On his last call here the hero of the
pestle and mortar brewed a slow, va
perish looking pellet that made the
Pals SO sick they could not even
STOW away the accustomed chunk of
sold Mule" and copious draughts out
pf the medicine barrel had no effect,
When Mr.. PERI went home he COM
menced pitching like a ball player,
hence his downfall. Stick to the old
remedies, Mr.. PERI.
When Mr.. Callahan toed tie pan in
the local half of the opener ne ap-
peared we'll and hearty as if not re
auiring any dope, so Mr.. PERI cut
loose his fast ones and Mr. Callahan
trod the path to the open sesame. 1t
was dead give way and it was along
in the shank of the afternoon that
Mr.. Story advised his co-worker that
he had better try the old methods
and the Pals commenced to fall. Too
late, the old horse had done left the
stable.
Epp Sticks to His Last.
Noting Mr. Perz's downfall Mr.
Epperson attempted no fancy stunts
but crossfired, Summarized, faded
away and jig-sawed his way through
the Cowboy band like a wild bull at
a dodeo. Two hits and a cut base
double were emitted by the Punchers
while Mr.. Epp toiled, and just to try
out a newly developed gyrator he
loaded the corner once and then
bumped Mr. Prather off with a slow
roller right into his mitt.
Aside from the steady pounding of
Afr. PERI Mr.. Larzo's feat of stealing
a base with one barefoot shone
through the haze. Not that Mr.. Lar
20 stole with one barefoot, but that
he had one barefoot and one properly
Shod 1t was in the third inning that
one of the senor's shoes debated and
he kicked it off at first. With the
casting of his ballast the senior dart
ed to second so fast that few knew
he was there. 1t was some feet If
the senior had kicked off the other
shoe he would have been able to steal
home without being seen.
Pals Start 1t Early
Mr. Robinson's men wasted no time
IN slowing the contest in cool dry
place. IN the opener Callahan walk
ed, Robinson martyred and Wynre's
single to center counted Cally when
Mr., johnson permitted the ball to
elude him, Wynne going to second,
from where he scored on Peters sin
gle to center
Another was added in the second
when Gonzalez singled, Holden put
him down, Callahan walked and Rob
inson singled to left, sending Coma
Iez to third from where he scored
when Wynne beat one out down the
first base line. Quinn singled be-
tween first and second, the ball hit
ting Wynne.
In the fourth Ca,ly singled and
Robby sacrificed. Wynne beat out
Il slow one to snort, Callahan going
to third Wynne started to single
and on the short throw Callahan
scored, second making a bad peg to
the plate which enabled Wynne to go
to second from where he scored when
Quinn singled to right.
In the fifth Holden opened the inn
