Davis has been hanging on the wire
recently anent the terrible Terrors
we were prepared to witness a
slaughter of our patient Pals when
they clashed with the invaders in a
double bill under one set of auspices
at the ball yard yesterday. Now we
believe Red is just plain moron, his
juvenile enthusiasm endowing the
Terrors with a prowess they do not
possess. The Pals played them off
their feet in both games, two foolish
little errors in the second game in
one inning giving the breaks to the
visitors-and the game by close
score. The first came to the Pals,
5 to 2, and the second went, 6 to 5.
1t is not amiss to say that after the
third inning there was peanut fam
inc and the pop bootleggers had a
harvest, so great was the crowd. The
stand was overlooking, the sun dials
were packed and parking space was
at premium The Potato King
bulged and beamed while Teddy look
ed as solemn as he could midst such
activity.
St. Pete Wanted Ransom.
Billed as a three-ringed perform
ance the management was forced at
the last minute to cut down to a two
ringed affair, refusing to yield to a
/ demand by the st. Petersburg club
management that they receive most
/ of the proceeds of the heavy gate
/ After Mr.. H. F. Lecks. the urbare
and gentlemanly announcer, hac
spoke his piece, relating the conten-
tions and demurrer thereto the popu-
lace sat patiently until the Lake City
! freight was in. Death Valley jim,
Woods was the first to. appear, anC
was given a hand. Mr.. Woods didn't
doff his stopper, but smiled benignly
, The TerrOrs then strayed in by ones
and twos, aces and deuces, all making
an imposing array in their nice dirty
boomers. Mr.. Easterly, who timec
his entrance with true professional
precision, wore beard and stocking:
once white. He also carried a ba
and a Crouch
! Grunt Lucas started after the Ter
rors like confligration. Mr.. 10,
Bush, of Fort Pierce, struck viciousl!
three times and retired, and Mr.
! Gculd poled a weak one to second
and Maltby lifted a Texas Lacquer t,
center. This angered Mr.. Grunt an
;he stricken Mr.. Hicks, doubling TO
Mr.. Burke, out.
After such start Mr.. Herber
Thomas polled a single to left, wa
neatly dispatched to second by Nj
Callahan, went to third on Kowalski'
single through third and scored o.
Ery's single in the same place. Wit
lsuch a start fandom settled for tn
blowoff.
The Pals counted again in tn
fourth when Bugs opened the roun
with a slashing double against tn
left field fence. Larzo put him dow
to third, from where he scored o
Gonzalez single to right.
In the meantime Mr.. Ernie BurEi
and Mr.. Maltby had strayed into tn
lineup, and after having stricken OF
the first time up, outguessed Luca
and polled one over the right fie,
fence in the fifth after two wer
down. After this Mr.. Burke did n
more potent factoring.
In the sixth the incident was plac
ed in the refrigerator. Fry prie
open the round with single to Ger
ter, went to second on wild pitcl
where he stayed while Lsrzo flew ou
to center and Gonzalez grounded
