Albers stopped San Benito's winn-
ing streak Of eight straight games
as he limited the locals to six scat
tered hits, the La Feria Nighthawks
taking the opening garfe Of the ser
les "a. The victory places the visit
ors 3 l-3 games behind the first
place Harlingen Ladds.
Rankin after being pounded from
the mound Monday night started
the game for the locals but was
jerked here today as the Hawks
found him for five safeties and four
TALES in the sixth frame. Ruhmann
went to his rescue and famed Big
gers to retire the side, but the dam
age was done as far as the Saints
were concerned as they made 10
serious threats TO tally. The Mis-
sion Fireman was given a three run
lead in the second inning but was
unable to hold the La FeIia slug
gers down.
Williford opened the second frame
with a single TO left and he took
third as Midkiff let Sralla'S ground
er roll through his legs. Williford
scorel and Sralla took third as
Johns let Arechiga's peg On Sral-
las attempt TO steal second, get by
him. Hoffman popped out TO Big

Duffard 70 Midkiff.
The Hawks began pasting basehlts
in the fourth and took a one run
lead. which the locals were neve.
able TO overcome. RizZo first up In
the frame doubled to center. Big
gers walked and took second as CoX's
single TO left scored Rizzo. Duffard
doubled TO center scoring BiggSs
and Cox. Arechiga sacrificed Duf-
fard TO third and he came hone
shortly after rs Midkiff got an in
field blow.
The visitors added their final runs
in the sixth with Duffard leading II
with a single 10 left. A triple by
Albers, n double by Hutchings, and
singles by Johns and Rizzo sent
Rankin TO the showers for the
second straight day.
Miscues in the Hawks infield in
the eighth frame added the locals
in scoring their final run.
La Feria tangles with the Saints
again Wednesday at 4 o'clock with
Weickline scheduled 70 hurl for tha

We mentioned recently about the
tough life the Valley scorers were
leading but yesterday we ran across
something that we never dreamed
OF. Clyde Pratt, the new Ladd out
fielder, told us that he believed he
should have had an error on a fly
ball he failed to get Monday night.
This is something rare in Valley
baseball circles, but We know now
that some Of the boys take pity on
the scorers.
