CHAMPION LETS
ONLY TWO HITS
Salazar Allows Seven Hits
But Obtains Good
Support

Although limited to two slim hits
by Robert Champion, the Robins
took advantage Of all breaks here
Sunday TO defeat the Matamoros
Internationals So in the first clash
Of a t~hree-game series for the City
league pennant.
The Internationals nicked Cam
erino Salazar for seven blows. two
OF which were Of the scratch va
riety, but they did not engineer
their base runners across the
platter with the efficiency which
the Robins demonstrated. Only two
Robins died on base. while six In
ternat.onals were left stranded.
Champion, slim Country club
caddy, was easily the outstanding
player in the fray. Yielding but
two hits in eight innings. he turned
back nine Robins via the without
route. In addition, he spanked out
a pair of hits himself and got four
Of the Internationas' seven as
Sists.
SaIazar HurIs Well
The Red Birds played heads-up
ball in the pinches behind Salazar
who twirled a creditable game.
The stocky little chap hurled shut
out ball eight innings. All OF the
international runs came in the
seventh frame as the result OF four
hits, two OF which were scratches.
He struck out seven Matamoros
batters and allowed but one base
on balls.
The Robins opened he scoring
in the first inning when Meme
Cara, leadoff, drew a walk.
"Chacho" Garcia promptly tied in
to a fast n for a triple. sending
Cara home. Garcia took home on
q balk. Champion settled down to
business and struck out the next
three batsmen-RiYera, G. Tijerina
and z. Garcia.
