SPEED DEMONS
BEAT SVASTIKAS
CARY TWIRLINC

The Speed Demons turned the tables
on the strong SwaStika team yesterday
evening behind the superb pltchlng o.
Clint Cary and took the long END OF
a 6 to 2 score. Not once did the SWas-
tika team threaten and Cary went the
full route pitching shutout ball and
letting his, opponents down to two hlts
both of which were in the last inning.
Austin and Ruterman ruined Carys
chance for no hit, no run game IN
the last inning when Austin singled
through third base and Ruterman con-
nected ,solidly for a circuit Wallop the
ball going over Divon's head IN CEN
ter field. i1nose two hits were all the
Swastikas could gather OF Careys
delivery all afternoon and he turned
back Is to the bench via the strlkeout
route. Cary struck out every player
on the Swastika team except Daw-
son at least once and McCord, Miller,
Reidy, Puzzi and Gardner famed
twice and Joyce bit the dust three
times. Austin and Ruterman each
struck out once, totaling fifteen Tor
the game.
Gardner, pitching his first game in
the twilight league went strong Tor
innings, but found the going rather
rough and was relieved by Ruternan
who set the Speed Demons down Tor
three innings. LauX led Off IN the
fourth with a single, Hiatt rolled a
fast grounder past Miller and LauX
pulled up at third. Seeley singled
through second, LauX and Hiatt scor-
put Texas Lacquer out OF the reach
of Joyce, Seeley and McRae scoring.
Dennis walked. G. Cary struck out and
D. Cary rolled to the pitcher. Four
runs.
In the sixth Hiatt, Seeley, McRae
and Dixon all hit safely and two more
runs crossed the rubber. With Gary
trying to break "Dazzy'' Vance's
strike-out record there was little
chance for the SWaStika's.
The fielding of both teams was good
and the pitching was much better than
has been shown in some of the games.
The victory places the Speed Demons
in tie with the SWastikas and the
All Stars anxious to meet the winners
of yesterdays battle.
Next week an all league selection
will be made and Physical Director
Penny and j. E. Carlson, Jr., official
league umpire will arrange a three
game series with an all-star selection
from the Mule Mountain league at
Bispee. A similar. league is in opera
tion in Bisbee and the championship
series will be played at the end OF
next week.
The fielding and batting averages
of the players will be considered when
the selection will, be, made. Molina
seems to be the class of the receivers
at present with Gary, Gotta and Ruter-
man hurling Austin at the initial
sack and McRae at s1lortstop are sure
to make this mythical all-star select
ion. The other positions are doubtful
but Grey, Lauxs D. Cary, Krentz,
Rubio, Childers, Warnock, Peryra
and several others will be candidates
for this team.
Next week will close the Senior
league games. The line-ups yesterday
were as follows:
Speed Demons: Krentz, II; LaUlX, 30;
Hiatt, 1b; Seeley, C; McRae, SIS; Dixon
