this season on Williams field with

Cubans to a couple Of blows up to
the ninth but in that frame the Wis
itors punched their singles which
with an error permitted the dusky
lads to tie 1t up.
Gamiez proved somewhat of a
puzzle to the Houser heavy stickers
and allowed only six hits but two of
these, a double and triple came in
the sixth, which with an error net

Fat" Hill quickly ended the agony
by polling out his homer, the second
time he has pulled this stunt this
year.
Although the Augusta lads were
guilty of four miscues, they pulled
some of the classiest fielding seen
this year. No less than three double
killings were stage1, the first being
a pretty reverse English, Delaney to

usual Flynn, Fitzpatrick, Delaney

first one. Hits were rather scarce on
the Augusta side. Phil Brisk crashed
out a timely three cushion shot which

son who had registered a double.
The Cubans displayed a good brand

game every minute. The crowd was
considerably amused by their jab-

but was meaningless to the fans.
