HARLINGEN SLAMS
FERNANDEZ OVER
FIELD FOR 16 HITS
Bearcats Win Sunday Game
From Tigers by Score of
10 to 5—Errors by Locals
Prove Costly
• (Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. Texas July 10.—
By slamming the ball for sixteen
safe hits and taking advantage of
the six errors made by the Browns-
ville team Harlingen walked away
with the game on their local park
yesterday to the score of 10-5. The
Brownsville Tigers made fourteen
hits and played fairly good ball. The
breaks were against them however
as shown by the fact that fourteen
men died on base for the Tigers.
Fernandez started in the box for
Brownsville and for four innings iie
pitched good baseball allowing two
runs. In the meantime the Browns-
ville bunch scored four runs during
the first four innings. In the fifth
* the Bearcats began to stage a rally
which in the end netted them six
runs. Jackson was substituted for
Fernandez but the hitting continued
Three runs were scored in the sixth.
Porter tvent in ami pitched the last
two innings with Hill behind the
bat. This combination proved more
effective against the Harlingen team
than any that had been used yet.
Much shifting was done by the Tig-
ers. The starting lineup was Porter
c; Fernandez p: Champion lb;
Armstrong. 2b; Williams 3b; Cor-
tinas ss; Jackson If; Garza cf;
Hill rf.
Due to an inji#V from a batted
ball Williams was replaced by Arm-
strong and Egly put on second early
in the game. When Jackson went
in for Fernandez to pitch Garza
was moved over to left Hill to cen-
ter and Bednard put in right. Then
Porter was put in to pitch. Hill to
catch*and Jackson went back in left
putting Garza in center again.
In hitting Hill and Champion lead
the locals each securing three hits
out of five times' at the plate. Jack-
son and Garza each got two hits
Armstrong Porter and Cortina* se-
cured one hit each and Fernandez
and Egly failed to connect for any
safeties. Brownsville secured a
large number of hits but could not
hit in the pinches.
Six errors were marked up against
the Tigers three of them going to
Cortinas. The scoring started in the
first inning when Cortinah let a hot
one get through him and two men
went home. Garza fell down on his
fielding and made two errors while
Porter made the sixth error a wild
throw to third allowing a man to
come home.
For the Bearcats Joe Blakely and
McMann lead the hitters with four
safeties each. Burnett Hoket and
Dick Jeffrey secured two safe hits
each while the other four players
got two hits between them.
Brownsville did all of her scoring
early in the game securing two
runs in the first inning two in the
fifth and one in the sixth. Jackson
scored twice while Armstrong Wil-
► liams and Hill brought in one run
each. *
