Fitz’s college players compel winners to show skill.
If you were one of the many 50-centers who worked their way into San Mateo park yesterday afternoon and came away figuring you didn’t get your money’s worth, you’d best visit your family physician and ascertain just what’s wrong with you. A 3 to 2 game, tied for six innings, with the opposing hurlers practically in complete control, is a situation that every big league owner prays for on opening day, and such was the offering tendered San Mateo patrons yesterday in the Blues’ 1927 get-away game. Everything that tends to make a full-fledged American’s blood tingle was on tap in the San Mateo opening. Clever pitching, classy fielding and solid driving were displayed by the players for both team.
