CAREY EXTENDED BY SLOAN
ON SATURDAY A Portuguese squad was mas- sacred by the Stars and Stripes in a 17-5 riot. With | the exception of Campos and N. Beltrao replacing Bertie Gosano and Z. Gosano, who were away on juries. Volunteer duties, the team was identical to the one fielded by the victorious Portuguese team last week. The United States team was composed mainly of players from the Mindinao League team.
Powlawski must have lost his magic touch, his slants only had two sons of Portugal swishing, and conceded two free tickets to first when he could not find the corners. Good fielding, however, came to his rescue, and held the hits to five measly blows. "Spotty" Pereira, for Portugal, too, was finding dif- ficulty with his benders, whiffing only two Yanks,
