CENTRAL VICTOR
IN 23-3 SCORE
OVER CALIPATRIA
Local Team Has Fighting
Chance to Win
Pennant

BY romping all over, the Calipa-
tria team at the local grounds yes
terday, Central Union 8 baseball
team clinched second place in the
Valley ImterschoIastic league, and
now has fighting chance to win
the.pennant, a goal on which Coach
Armstrong and his squad have set
their eyes.
The final score was % 10 3, the
north end team scoring three runs
though they did not get q single hit
off Baker. and Hurst, who were on
the mound for Central. Baker had
plenty of stuff on the ball, but
| had difficulty in locating the plate,
walking five men and hitting four
more. He retired in favor of Hurst
in the sixth inning, and the latter
kept up Bakers good work as far
as not allowing hits was concerned,
and rcfrained from showing wild
ness, walking only one man.
As evidence Of the kind of pitch
ing that Central has been getting,
the Central outfield has caught only
two fly balls in the last three
games. 70 make it stronger, only
two balls have been hit to the out
field in that period.
Fansher, who slipped with the
willow last week, went on a batting
rampage Yesterday, collecting four
hits and five runs. One Of the hits
was u homer. Miller likewise caught
the fever and knocked out five hits
which netted him four runs.
Every man on the Central team
with the exception of Peters and
Alien, got at least one hit. The
" Ambassador from SPAIN played
good game at first, however, and
Allen put up his usual good showing
at short.
Aside from inability to hit the
Central pitchers, Calipatria s down
fall was due to II errors, which is
I enough. to allowed Central to lick
the Washington champions.
Northend Gets First Run
Calipatria scored the first run
getting q man around in the first
inning, due to Bakers wildness
Central did not get going until the
! second inning when two runs were
scored. The avalanche started in
the third inning when Central scor.
ed five runs. Three more came in
the fourth, and then the locals went
back to the five quota, getting that
number i'll the fifth and sixth in.
nings. One in the seventh and tive
in the eighth ended the scoring. Cal
ipatria made its second run in the
fifth and its last one in the sixth.

throw her out OF the car.

climbing into the mountains by twist

about six o'clock they reached the
