Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-05-03

las BlueS opened the season Dy taxing
the short end of an 81 count against
the Tucson Missions in game that
was interesting throughout the full
nine innings. The hitting of the local
team far outclassed the visitors, and
except for few punched hits off Gotta
in the fourth the game would have
been decided long before the ninth
inning.
Gotta started we'll for the Blues but
got in hot water in the third and
finally in the fourth was relieved by
PERI. PERI pitched easily and had the,
Tucsonians feeding out of his hand
He yielded only two hits in 1-S in
nings pitched. The damage of the
Tucson team was done before he took
the mound however, so credit for the
loss goes to Gotta.
The Blues fielded we'll and accepted
many chances with only three errors
for the game, while Tucson erred five
times
Arvisu at the ''hot corner" looked
good and McRae at short handled all
the chances that came his way. One
ball took bad hop and caught him
on the head, but he gamely stayed in
the game.
The locals meet the Camp Little team
here in two weeks, next Sundays game
being playedSat Nogiaes.

of the season here, the first run of the
game and7with Peryra made double
