Here are the figures for this series

The Giants rightful1y won the
honors in this series. They played
the smarter baseball all the way,
hit harder. fielded better, and offered
the better pitching. Here and there,
worth while, but as a team they
were never in the hunt until the
last two games at the Griffith Sta.
dunn. 1t was then too late.
The pitching of Marberry, Brax-
ton, and Sad Sam" Jones struck
sparks here and there. Grant ellis
used his bat with telling effect
throughout the series. and young
Jack Hayes did a mans work while
he was in the lineup.
The Giants, all puffed up by their
triumph. left last night for West
Point, where they play the Army
team today. The Griffs scattered t.
their homes content with the knowl.
edge that they have found their
stride lost down in Alabama last
week.
Lloyd Brown. who sOuthpawed
for Memphis last year, will
sOuthpaW for the Memphis
Chicks this year. This young
wild man lacks sufficient control
to make the grade in fast COM
pany. No strings are attached,
to him at all.
Bump Hadley makes his mound
debut at Baltimore, and, if he finds
himself able to stand the strain, a
big weight will fly from Bucky
Harris shoulders. Hadley is a prime
necessity for the hurting staff, IL the
Griffs are to get anywhere.

EVENS COUNT IN
ALL STAR SERIES,

1t looked much more like an all
star game at Wilson Field last night
the two teams battling through nine
innings with only one error and the
Patterson team evening up the
series with an to 9 victory over
the Schanz aggregation.
AS result the third game of the
series will be made necessary and
will be played at Wilson Field to-
night The winner of this contest
will play a series of games next
week against Holtvillc, Calexico and
Brawley and both managers are get
tins set to register a win.
Cornelius proved himself the best
as moundsman last night He linn
tied the losers to six hits, no two
of which were obtained in one in
ming and struck out 13 of the bats
men to face him.
Southworth pitched good enough
baseball to win most any game but
the winners managed to make their
eight hits at timely moments and
as result scored eight times.
Dryc led the attack of the Win
ncrs. He did a good job of catch
ing and in four trips to the plate
he hit safely three times. He scored
three of the runs for the Patterson
delegation.
shannon proved the leading light
for the losing team. He made three
sensational catches in center field,
pulling ono ball hit by Cornelius
ont of tree in deep center.
It is expected that Cornelius will
hc called upon by Patterson to do
the ''Iron Man stunt and return to
the mound for tonight s contest.

team to first place honors in the
night league, will do the pitching
