League game before, he took the
measure of the Shreveport Sports in
the opening games of the series, to 5.
And that's the team that will keep
night on representing San Antonio the
rest Of the way.
The rockies fought Shreveport with
nerve and q good defense and won out
without an iota Of offensive power ap-
pearing above the surface. Fact is,
the new Bear ball team made only two
hits, and neither was healthy, red

For four innings thereafter, the

threw out Rowland. Adkins was
passed. Jack Stansbury batted for
Comeaux. Old Jack steamed one
down toward short. Third-baseman
Lance rushed over TO grab it but let
it get through him. Shortstop Johnny
Philips was very much on the job,
gathered in the fumbled ball and let
fly with his bullet arm, cutting down
Stansbury at first base TO end the
game.

occasions-and Philips single, a

After getting Banner out and hav.
ing Newman put on first through an
error at short, McCsuley went wild
again in the forth and walked Lance.
His first two pitches TO Miller were
balls and he was jerked. Adkins
finished walking Miller, then passed
Gsllegos, forcing in Newman. Philips
was hit by a pitched ball, forcing
Lance across. Pickett flied out but
Peters took this opportunity 70 make
the Bears second and last hit, and
the fourth and fifth runs Of the Bruin
total spiked the pan.
After that the rockies went out In
order.

Newman looked good" said Skip
per Coleman after the game. HE
ought &c make a cracking good pitch
er in time, lots Of nerve and good
stuff. I'm rather proud Of the rockies,
even II they didn't hit a lick. And
they'll stay in there, the whole batch
Of them until they lose, anyhow"
