PARCO OIL CANS
BEAT SUPERIOR
LAST SUNDAY

One of the best games that has
been played on the Superior baseball
diamond this year took place last
Sunday afternoon when the Parco Oil
Cans beat the Superior baseball team
by a cor of 6 to 4. The total score
was lower than any one score of any
this year. The result vas hat the
whole game was clean. fast, and in
teresting to watch. There were a
number of good plays on both sides
and the pitching or both teams was
exceptionally good. Fourteen hits
were made by the Parco boys and
nine were made by the Superior team.
The hitting of Turner on the Parco
team was exceptional, for out of five
times at bat he got four hits, also
Gilebrt did good hitting; he made
three hits out of five times at bat.
In beating this team, the Oil Cans
bunch and one that can hold its own
showed they have a smooth working
whe nit to ogod consistent
playing. The Oil Cans will play Han
ma at Parco at $3.50 on the afternoon
of July 4th. This will undoubtedly
be a game we'll worth seeing.
On the morning Of July 5th, the
Oil Cans will play the Parco White
Sox on the Saratoga bal diamond.
The names of the two teams will be
enough to most persons to recognize
the fact hiatt it will be a knockout,
fast game to watch.
The lineup for the Oil Cans-Super-
ior game was as follows:

STILLS FOUND

CREEKS TUES

Two stills, both minus the oper-
ators, were found ON Tuesday of this
week by Sheriff Sanders. The one
on Pass Creek was located about a
mile and a half below the Saratoga
bridge and the one on Lake Creek
was at the old Segal Meyers place.
Evidently the owners Of both of
the stills had gone to the city to dis
pose of their goods, for the still at
Lake Greek had six empty barrels
around it which smelled very strong
ly of booze. Five gallons of moon
shine were found in the brush near
this still. This is the third time
within two years that a still has
been found on this place. No moon
shine was found at the Pass Creek
still.

HARD FIGHT AT
DENVER SHOW

The following clipping from yes
terday's Denver News will prove of
interest to the many Rawlins friends
of NoDe Ayala:
The real battle of the evening
was between Fightin' Nobe and Lou
Dennison. 1t went four rounds with
Nobe taking the verdict to his Wy
oming home. Both these lads stood
toe to toe for the entire distance and
slugged at each other. Nobe's in
fighting won the decision for him, as
Dennison could not solve a manner
to get away from his rivals blows
at close quarters.

John Conway Toole. president d
the international League. reports
the best year his league has had
for some time. He says that fresh
interest has been aroused in the
"Ints" by real race and that the
league never was in a more pros.
porous condition.
Like all the other leagues, BIG
and little, we got a lot Of bad
breaks in the way Of weather." said
Toole. I'VE lost a lot of our early
games, but am glad to say that
the crowds which have attended
our games since have more than
offset our bad breaks in the early
spring.
II know q lot Of other minor
leagues have had considerable diff.
ficuIty this year, but we promise to
have one Of our best seasons. Our
race has proved very interesting,
and all our teams have taken
spurts at different times.
do you know that on June 10
our Newark club already had
played to more people than it did
during the entire season OF 1928?
And their capacity IL limited to
about 10000, with the result that
three times this season they were
unable to take care of the crowds
that wanted TO attend their games.

FIELDING nos I
IMPORTANT
To R|GNEY !.
While Others Aim at High
Stick Average, Emory
Looks to Glove
By BERT WALKER.

DETROIT, July 7.-Nearly every
ball player wants to have a good
batting average. Hardly a player
ever refers to his fielding II he can
hit. When managers contemplate
going after a player the first thing
they do is to look UP his batting
average. When a ball player is
looking for job he proudly draws
attention to his hitting. He might
as well have no fielding average
for all the consideration he gives 1t.
Many players attach too much at.
tention TO their hitting and not
enough to their all around play.
II they get q couple of hits, but
lose game because Of wretched
fielding they should worry.
But there is a novelty on the
Tigers. He is Emory Rigney, short
stop. Emory cares more for his
fielding percentage that for his
hitting. Naturally he likes to hit
well and does, but he believes the
artistic side Of the game is in field
ing and it is there that he likes to
shine. An error to him is little
short of tragedy, for it mars the
artistry of his performance, but a
base hit is simply an incident Of
the game, desirable when it is
possible to get them, but missing
them not constituting q calamity.
He is one of the few players who
puts fielding above batting.
Rig, by the way, is one Of the
best shortstops in the league, but
he probably would never have been
with the Tigers If Jennings had
remained. When he first came up
to the team Jennings thought. he
couldn't hit and never gave him q
chance to play. He was with the
club through an entire spring train
ing trip and wasn't even put in
one of the exhibition games, so he
had no chance to show what he
could do. Hughie farmed him out
with the result that the team lost
title to him. When the Tigers
wanted him back they had to pay
him $500 to sign up. Manager
Cobb had faith that he could both
hit and field, but especially field.
Ty gave him a chance to show,
with the result that he became a
fine fielding shortstopper as well
as a good hitter, but since he
wasn't a Babe Ruth with the stick
he would never have had a chance
but for Cobb.

GR|FFMEN LEAD
IN At LEAST
SOMETHING
Have More Triples Than Any
Other Club in Either
Major League

The Griffmen, with but seven
home runs to their credit up to July
4, have the fewest circuit clouts of
any club in either major league.
This Is due in most part to the size
of their home park. the Griffith
stadium. No close field boxes or
short fances aid the batsman in
Washington. He has to be real
slugger to get anywhere here.
However, when it comes to three
baggers and doubles, the fighting
Griffs don't look so bad. They are
credited with thirty-five triples and
126 two-baggers. They lead the
league in triples, and are surpassed
only by Pittsburgh for the honorS
in both big leagues. The Pirates,
playing on smaller parks, have hit
fifty-one triples this season UP to
July 4.
When It comes to smashing two
baggers, the Griffs' 1875 IL better
than all the National League clubs,
and gives the Griffs fifth place In
the American League. The Giants
are one behind the Griffs, with 1875
doubles.
The Boston Red Sox have hit the
most two-baggers, 142, closely fol-
lowed by the Detroit Jungaleers,
with 141. The Cleveland Indians
have 1877. being aided a lot by their
high screen In right field in Cleve-
land. The st. Louis Browns have
