It was the bat of Big John Davis, who came through with a 380 foot, two run homer in the 12th frame to break a 6-6 tie, that did the trick. The Cubans had the lead up until the ninth frame and it looked like they were going to cop the win but some 950 fans were treated to a real tight display of ex- hibition baseball. * & * 2 Pile eae, * in Thursday At Kennel ‘F.
