SAN BENITO. Aug. AFTER
hard practice. the San Benito
Saints are now ready for the Mis-
souri, Pacific Team from Kings
vile. The Trainmen have one OF
the best teams in the Railroad
league extending all over Texas
and parts OF Louisiana. Tiny"
Garrett is slated to hurl the game
against the Trainmen and he an
nounced today that his arm was
in good shape. 1t seems that all
OF the Angels are in the best pos
sible shape. Earl Courtney, who
had a Sprained ankle, is back in
the lineup. Bruce Cunningham IS
still hitting the apple at a terrific
clip and the team in general Is
IN the best possible condition. II
seems that Snow who was slated
TO hurl for the Mo-Pacific will get
the assignment. but McGrew. an
old timer who once signed a con-
tract with the Philadelphia Athlet-
les, viii get the call. McGrew is
a right handler and is reputed 70
be one OF the best pitchers II the
Train league. Bill Scholes, 81.
Peter at Angels Heaven, an
nounced that he would have the
field in the best possible condi-
ton A large crowd IS expected to
enter the portals OF the Angels"
Heaven Today.
Last Sunday Garrett was placed
IN the outtield for the Saints. The
first time at bat he struckout, and
in the same inning he made an
error. This didn't bother Tiny. The
next time that he came to bat he
knocked a homerun over the left
field fence. This drive landed in
the Resaca on the outside Of the
fence. This was one of the longest
home runs ever hit in the san
Benito Park. Before the game
ended Garrett hit a triple and q
double. Garrett Is about the best
hitting pitcher In the Valley
League.
At last the thing has arrived.
Bruce Cunningham received his
bat. Last week Bruce sent in a
special order for a Wakefield"
bat. 1t seemed that the bat was
delayed and Bruce was worried. RI
arrived Saturday afternoon SO that
Bruce could use 1t Sunday. Ii
seemed that Bruce was correct
about not having his right bat. as
Sunday he got four hits out or five
times at bat and two Of the hits
were for extra bases. We pity the
opposing teams now that Bruce
has his Wakefield"
Old slim" Wa!tman has a d!i-
ferent colo-ed eve than he did be-
fore the game last Sunday. Wait
ma got his eye BACKED while
stopping a terrific line drive from
one OF the McAIlen players bats.
10 seemed that Waitman Just
couldn't completely stop it with his
glove so he called on his eye.
John McCauley who was due 10
return for Sundays game hasn't
yet arrived IN the Resaca City to
join the San Benito Saints. II
seems that Mac hasn't quite finish
ed his summer school work and will
be through the latter part or
this week and he writes that he IL
planning on returning for Sundays
game.
Manager Lew Williams will
probably start the following line
up against the strong Mo-Pac team.
Tiny" Garrett. pitcher; Hearn,
catcher; Cunningham, ftrstbase:
Taylor. secondbase; Campbell,
thirdbase; Clements, shortstop;
Waitman. leftfield: Courtney,
~centerfieid; and Wallace, right
field. Besides having this hitting
and fielding nine Manager Lew
Williams has Darby, Jefferies, and
himself to fill in the gaps.
Tuesday night at the ~7eich-
White Bowling alley the j. c.
Penney team defeated Downs by a
score Of TIA TO l53. BY winning this
game the Penneys cinched the first
half Of the split season. G. A. King
was the high score man for the
Penney five and Billie Cooke lead
the Downsmen.
Thursday night the Business
Mems League OF Harrington meet at
