~sSTNso Of, II not the

went to pieces,
making seven miSplayS. Despite this
fact, the game vas highly interest
ing all the w. good crowd
Lew Williams had in tn -1ands was
pleased. The brand OF ball they saw
was the equal Of many q profess
sional circuit.
ANOTHER factor that contribut-
ed to their downfall was the fact
that Snow. an old time ~left-hander
with plenty of control, was clipping
the corners for the Pioneers. There
are not over two first class left
handlers in the Valley league and
consequently the Saints have not
had the opportunity to look over
many wrongarm slants this season.
Snow walked not one man, disput-
ing the old story which holds that
s~outhpaws have no control. He had
the Indian sign on Courtney and
Waitman, the only Saints TO bat
against him from the north side OF
the plate. Rubber Campbell. Saint
third sacker. switched his hitting
stance and clouted them far and
wide, only to be robbed by fast
fielding on the part OF the Pioneers.
Schuler's catch Of Rubber's drive
in the third inning was one fit for
the story book.
MANY VALLEY fans still are Of
the opinion that Lew Williams and
his scrappers can take the measure
Of the Pioneers and would turn out
for a return engagement. Clements
and Cunningham were not daunted
by Shows k~nuckler, each getting
his customary brace Of blows. The
hitting star OF the day, however,
was Old Butch Hoffman. This x
Lacquer cracked out a pair of singles
and a double In five attempts at
the platter.
TWO OF THE Pioneers formerly
played with Brownsville in the VAL
ley league. Many fans will remem
Der Deveraux and Crumptor, a nifty
pair Of infielders.

SOME FIGHTS are too rotten,
md there is such a thing as fights
being too good. For instance the
Berg-Chocolate scrap. Their mill
vas so torrid all the way that
fans were miles apart in their
opinion as to who won. The judges
gave the decision to Berg. while the
Associated Press score sheet gave
Chocolate six Of the ten rounds.
The crowd was highly partisan and
the cheers for Chocolate as he left
the ring drowned out what applause
Berg got.
WELL, Berg had everything to
lose and nothing to gain. Chocolate
had everything to gain and nothing
TO lose. II Berg, a lightweight. did
not whip Chocolate. he was to get
the raspberries. II Chocolate, a.
bantam. whipped Berg, that was
something 70 crow over. And II he
