United States Outhit Portugal But Costly Errors Cause Downfall Sensational Portuguese Four-Run Rally In Sixth Inning
Glut Of Homers In Sunday's Game
By "Grandstand”.
FEATURING A SENSATIONAL sixth-inning rally which netted them four runs, Portugal wrest- ed the Mamak Baseball Trophy from the U.S.A. in the International play-off last Saturday, at Caroline Hill.
Toeing the rubber for the U.S.A., moundsman "Diamond" Jim Harvey limited the Portuguese to only five blows, but conceded a free pass when Bertie Gosano couldn't dodge the onion coming down. Harvey's smoke balls had 10 Portuguese bat- ters parading to and from the platter for 10 strike- outs, whilst Portugal's own chucker, "Spotty" Pereira, accounted for four Americans but was found for 10 hits.
