Bauman To Kearns. but when kearns
tossed the ball to second TO catch Najo
off-which he didn't do-COuchman

Jim Galloway hoisted a fly into short

around and let it fall for a two

Stumpf threw out Meyers from deep

Gross Thrills En-.
Gross snatched run or two out

After Brown had singled. he turned
Lee Kings smash that almost winged
the base umpire into a brilliant dou
bic play by a fancy one-handed stop.
The whole Bear infield was up to
tricks of that sort. Brovold. Fuller
and Galloway also making some hard
chances look easy. Brovold's play on
Tex Wisteril's slow grounder past
the pitchers box in the third was es-

right field fence with Stumpf on base.
Bill having driven one to center which
MeTcrs. by fast work. held to a sin
gr'. The sound of Crumpler's homer
landing on tin roof the other side
of the fence was Couchman's signal

his teams lead by driving in run

field out.

Gals could do was get man to third
on walk. and a hit by Galloway
one of Jim's set of three.
Galveston came near messing things
up in the eighth. Munson, reaching
first by forcing Crumpler. who had
walked. went 10 third on a double by
Wisterzil but was thrown out at the
plate when Brown grounded to Fuller.
King popped to Fuller. for the third
out.
Naio Comes Through.
Leo Najo, who was generously ap-
plaudcd for various deeds. mostly de-
fensive. in the early part of the game,
provided himself with an ovation in
the Bears eighth by tying the score
with single that drove in two runs.
Brovold. first up. had walked and
Gross had followed with a single.
Coleman sacrificed them along but
Collins fouled to Anderson. who
proved himself expert at grabbing
fouls. by the way. Najo had two
strikes against him when he connect
ed for a sharp hit to center. bringing
Brovold and Gross home and knotting
the score.
In Galveston's ninth. Anderson got
to third with two out but Collins
famed Stumpf. The Bears were one
tworthree. Meyers cut down labeled
three-bagger off Crulnplers bat with
a long running catch in the tenth.
Then Brovold came up. sent out his
history-making three-bagger and Bill
Stumpf did the rest.
