Lee Foil went after Saturdays ball

Lee Foil went after Saturdays ball
game and he got it.
The manager of the Red Sox sent
three veterans of the 1923 Boston
staff to the hill against the San An
tonic Bears in three-inning shifts and
| they held the Bears. who show unmis-
| taxable signs of being a swatting out
ut, TO eight hits aud three runs, while
timely seeking by the Sox provided
the big league visitors with a total of
fourteen hits, on which nine runs rode
| home.
Howard Ehmke worked first. Naio's
single in the first inning, the opening
hit of the game, was the only safety
registered off the sidearm delivery of
the lanky Fohlian ace.
John Quinn, he of the everlasting
arm, tossed up his slow tantalizers for
the next three frames. The Bears nick
ed him for four hits and a run but
there was no consistent assault on his
| delivery.
Curtis Fullerton, youngster but
| experienced in major league ways,
| finished up. Moke Meyers caught one
TO his liking with two men on in the
eighth and Curtis suffered the sight of
two runs crossing the platter.
| Collins Fans -Four.
Carl Adams, Milber Porter and
Mike Collins tossed for the Bruins.
Adams did very well although inclined
to touch of wildness. Porter was I'M
steady and, worse luck, his support
wobbled in the sixth, the locals only
bad inning, and four runs were made.
Mike Collins was number three. Mike
had the soft shift, working only two
innings since Boston didn't bat in the
last of the ninth. While he was on the
hill, Mike breezed the ball over the
pan and struck out four, his victims
being Wambsganss, Connolly. Heving
and Fullerton. He had speed galore.
To the locally familiar hitting Of
big Ike Boone goes much of the credit
| for the Red Sox victory. Ike came into
his own with loud report. He laced
| out three clean wallops and only
Najo's fine fielding in center kept him
from getting on when he came up the
other two times.
Najo. by the way, looked good as
usual. He handled everything into his
territory perfectly, three difficult flies
and innumerable hard-hit ground balls.
| And he knew where TO throw the ball
to the infield and without hesitation.
| He got a hit and he scored run
in short, he played a bang-up game.
| There's no getting around it; this boy
has the making. He's quiet and
modest about it all. Once he gets to
| chirping n bit, he's headed for big
things.
Moke Meyers Pokes One.
Another highlight of the game
one of the real features. in fact, from
the home standpoint--was a three-base
smash by Moke Meyers on his only APP
pearance at the plate in the eighth IN
ming. Moke went into the game in the
seventh, replacing Dick Reichle in
right field. He came 10 bat with Col

result of a walk and a bad throw by
