Eddie's mates got but four hits off Padrone, the islanders' southpaw, who fanned thirteen and received the kind of support his flinging merited. Singles by Jiminez and Torrienti with a triple by Gonzales between started the foreigner off with a 2 to 0 lead in the opener. Jiminez hit the ball over the left center fence after Rio's single in the seventh, and clinched the game. About 4,000 saw the contest, which was marked by sharp fielding by the visitors, with Pancho Villa performing most of the thrillers."
