PIRATES VICTORS
IN WATER CIRCUS
LEAGUE CONTEST
WET GROUNDS MAKE PITCH
ING "ALL WET; BUGS GET
IS HITS; SAWYER HoMERS
WITH THREE ON BOARD
CIV o. /. MILIANl

Playing on slippery, wet
ground occasioned by a heavy
downpour of rain two hours be-
fore the contest started, the Pr
rates defeated the Warbler crew
II to 6 in the first game of the
FERA senior diamondball loop at
the Bayview Park grounds last
night.
The contest was marked by
heavy hitting, high scoring and
numbers of errors of commission
and omission.
Clarence Gates was hit harder
than usual in last nights contest,
allowing l3 safe blows, including a
homer by Castillo in the third in
ming with one man on board. Cas-
tillo's circuit blow should have
been no more than a single as the
fieldman lost his balance and fell
all over himself attempting to
make a shoe string catch, then
tossing the ball to centerfield aft
CT recovering it in time to make a
play for the man at third.
Scott Sawyer was easily the star
of the evening, getting a big ova-
ton from the grandstands in the
fourth inning when he cracked out
a four-bagger, long drive to
deep center with the bases loaded.
to put the wrecking tug i'm the
running.
Goehring and Elbertson hit we'll
for the sea-dogs with four consec-
utive hits for both of them in four
trips to the pan. The fielding of
Pop" Pena and the hitting of the
Acevedo brothers accounted much
for the teams victory. Armando
got three, Manuel two and Georgia
Aeeyedo three of the teams thir-
teen safeties.
The loose playing of the two
teams contributed to an inaus-
picious opening of the league, but
this was accounted for by the wet
field which kept the ball sOggy.
Throwing and fielding was affect
ed by the ''wet dishrag" ball.
Castro's Pirates presented a
strong hitting and fielding lineup,
but real weakness in the box;
Watkins, who hurled for them,
proving a real rookie. His control
was way off and when he did get
them over, the pitch was far too
slow. He has a tricky way of
flicking his wrists, however.
An incident occurred at second
base which favored strongly of
unsportsmanlike tactics. The play
in question was not pronounced
enough for the entire stands to
notice. but a few fans did, and
comments on the motive of the
player committing the act were
heard.

HIS MAJESTY, THE UMP!

Umpires are to be supreme on
the diamondball field. They are
to have power to eject any player
creating a disturbance or protest
ing for too long a period. And if
an entire team keeps up the "kick-
ing" the game can be awarded to
the other side. The thing for a
team manager to do if a major
argument comes up is to play the
game under protest. but by al!
means continue play. This in dia-
mondball. The supremity of the
imp on the baseball field must
also be made absolute.

ALL WORKED Up

Local ball players, managers,
and their followers are worked up
over the baseball league meeting
tonight. At first it was intended
to hold the meeting last night but
the opening game of the senior
diamondball league was last night.
This created such a commotion
among horsehide followers here
that there was talk of postponing
the diamondball league opening so
that all could attend the ball meet
ing that night Finally it was
agreed to take the best way out
and Tuesday night was chosen for
the baseball doings.

OBLIGATORY PRACTICE

The manager of the local Star
nine made an excellent unofficial
suggestion the other day. He
would like to put through a pro-
p0sal obliging each team to prac-
tice at least once a week. This
is to insure better brand of field
ing, pitching and hitting in the
Sunday league games. The Stars
well exemplify this advice. Com
posed of youngsters, many Of
them breaking out in the senior
league for the first time. they
practiced and played together un-
til their work approached such
perfection that for long time
they headed the loop and handed
the championship Pirates defeat
after defeat. OF course, ex-
perience told in the end and the
Buccaneers surged to the top
again. But it shows what team
work can accomplish. An excel
lent suggestion!
