Mr.. Robinson staged q surprise for
the Saints Saturday afternoon en-
gagement at the park yesterday when
two fancy home runs were fired off
10 give the deciding t rend to the con-
test, which finally ended to 0 in
favor of the polite Pals.
Perhaps if Mr.. Robinson had
known that there was to be so many
either features on the bill he would
tsave saved these two pieces de resis-
tances for later date, but b. b. history
proves that one cannot always tell.
:, SO when Senior Earao and Mr..
Brake broke down the centerfield
fence with their stuff there was
none to say them nay OF neigh.

Feet very well satisfied with Mr..
Davies explanation that the short
Field fences gave tine Pals a big ad-
vantage as they were able to strike

q bouncing it over the palisades more
frequently. 1t does seem reasonable.

sieither of these claims would be cor
C4ct. Neither sterling athlete eject
ID to fire off an ordinary circuit
drive. Both put on a few fancy
touches, eliciting ribaId laughter from
one section of the stands and boohs
From another. Mr.. Brake elected 10
employ the springboard effect in MAX
ing his homer, First driving the
sphere on line directly toward Mr..
CDiee, he selected good hard spot
gust to the windward OF Slappy and
bounce it clear of the parapet. 1t
.Ras amazing.
In putting on his Snuff Mr.. Larzo
Was even more sensational. He
chose the north route to the center
field fence, and Selling upon moment |
when the eddying winds were still, he
lifted tall one between Sam
MsDaniel and the sun, then waited
1t slowly earthward on the very top
of the parapet, from which point it
executed parabola and fell in the
green sward just beyant. Some
stuff, indeed.
Valdez Dry as Col. Mutt
Senior Valdez, toiling for the Pals,
was barren Of hits, yielding only four
TO the visitors, none which even
to disturb the equilibrium
Of the senior. Nine Saints swung
thrice without connecting and only
one received free passage to first,
Mr. Wolfe wheedling a pair of pass
es out Of the generous senior.
The Pals played jam up ball be-
hind the noble castilIian, the outfi"ld
work being conspicuously brilliant.
Three fast fielding, hard hitting
accurate throwing outergardners
have made the Pals the club it was
hoped for last year.
In the ninth the visitors did make
gestures like the old horse shoe was
about to be hung again. Carter, first
up, singled to center and after Francis
had skied to left Small hit fast one
10 third and Brake shot it to second,
