Soldiers Grove Wins From Elroy 8
to Flood Walks Out Because
of Decision


Sundays games found both Viroqua
and Soldiers Grove winners. but Elroy
suffered defeat and drops to fourth
place while Hillsboro's victory brought
that team into third place. LaFarge's
defeat drops her to the bottona again,
Richland Center taking fifth place.
With score of to G in Elroy's
favor in the Sth inning, Pitcher Flood
walked out of the game because of
decision by Briggs, the Soldiers Grove
and the new man put in al
lowed eight runs, giving the Grove
:irmer hold on the pennant,
The game of the year was pulled
off at Hillsboro when that team won
from Richland Center to 5, in a 10
inning contest. Sapiro, the Center's
star player, knocked a home run, but
was called out by the umpire because
he stepped over second base instead of
touching it.
In spite of costly errors which gave
LaFarge three runs, Virocua won 5
to 8. Rabbit singled, and sacrifices
by Kuehn and Paul Garin and single
by Lad Garin brought him in in the
first inning. In the fourth, a hit and
a base on balls paved the way for an
error which gave LaFarge two runs.
Casey was going strong and it looked
dark for the home team, but in the
seventh, Lad clouted out a three-bag-
ger, Curtis singled, Morrison doubled,
Tom Garin singled and johnson got
to first on an error In the melee
three men scored, and it should have
been four had not the umpire been
blind. LaFarge also copied a run this
inning through hit and an error. In
the 9Th, Paul Garin singled, Lad Garin
doubled, and a sacrifice by Curtis
scored Paul.
Curtis caught hard foul tip Lad
made scoops of grass cutters in the
first and third which ended these in
nirlgs with LaFarge men on second
ard third. They were as classy plays
az ever were pulled off on diamond,
particularly the scorcher in the third.
These with 3-bagger, double and sin
gle in four times at bat, made him the
IDOL of the fans. After fouling five
times in the third inning, he struck
out, and BunnyKuehn nearly ran HIM
self to death in his eagerness to steal
second every time he swung, only TO
return because of foul Tom made
a nice catch. Curtis made fine steal.
Action on the bases was a delight to
the fans.
johnson pitched a beautiful game,
at the finish. He allowed
four hits, one a scratch and one not
tried for. Struck out eight, hit two
and walked three. Casey struck out
IL but was tickled for ten hits. Hits:

47th Battalion in Queens, which in
cludes the Rockaway district.

Commissioner brennan appointed 112
new firemen and promoted ten to the
rank of Lieutenant. Two captains. fif-
teen Eeutenants and 210 firemen were
transferred to equalize the personnel
of the companies. The next additions
