Drive It's ..........2 2 800 Preston Motors 70 .000
 Although Preston Motors pulled the unexpected and won two games from their opponents at Redwood park yesterday afternoon, defeating Drive Yourself team, to 3, and Ala bama Power Co.,, 2 to l, they were losers nevertheless, as both games forfeited to their opponents because it alleged illegal use of a player, one Simon, who is said to be an ex Georgia State leaguer and ineligible in the local city league.
 In speaking of the matter last night, President Harrison stated that Simon is not on the list of eligible players turned in to him by Manager Mickey O'Brien, and for that reason alone is ineligible to play in the championship series.
 Games Forfeited
 The games were credited to the Alabama Power Co, and Drive-It Yourself teams.
 The first game was a good one,
 
 eighth inning rally which won the game on the part of the Preston Motor team.
 The game started with the Drive It's going to the bat first and with paw Jeffries on the mound for the Automobile manufacturers. Jeffries was strong in the first inning, not even allowing a man to get to first. Goldstein going out on grounder to the shortfeld and Wanninger and Carroll making brave efforts to paste the pill, with a strike out as the only reward
 Preston started good. with '.arlin slamming out pretty two-bagSe but after Santemyer went out for trying to bunt on the third strike and Clark and Simon went out on weak attempts to the infield, they were re- tired without scoring.
 Wyatt Singles
 In the second, Wyatt led off fer the Drive It's with single, and scored on hits by Veitch and Kim brough. Marlborough then stole sec ond, but. instead of throwing the Fall to get him. O'Brien begged third, ard caught Veitch off the bag. Kim brough then scored on Ganongs sac rifice.
 leSton ldlleQ to QO dnylnlnG OnIll the fifth inning but in this frame O'Brien. who scored on Stevens sin gle. Stevens scored on Jeffries' hit.
 The Drive It's went strong in the sixth. and hits by Wyatt and veitch netted one run. The score was then tied, but Preston scored one more in the seventh, and sewed the game Up with two more runs in the eighth
 Second Game
 The second game was the best of the two games. as it was closer and was featured by better pitching than the first. One of the features of the second game was a two bagger and three bagger by Hall, the fat first baseman of the Preston team. Up until the second inning of the second game, Hall had not done much in .he hitting department, on account of his weight keeping him from reach ing first before the ball did. How ever. in the second; he hoisted one out to deep left that would have baen good for a half-dozen bases with a skinny gent, but MT. Hall got to third and called it a good run In the sixth, he drove out a two- -bagger, which also ought to have gone for more bases.
 Bell WeakenS
 For four innings both pitchers were going good and having some swell support. and only one man threatened to score. but in the fifth Bell and company weakened, allow ing two runs. Mickey O'Brien walked and scored on Carlin's double. and Santemeyer followed with another double which brought Carlin around. The Power team also scored in the fifth with hits by Little and Carnes After the fifth. everything went as it did for the first four innings, and no more runs were made.
 Today the Drive It Yourself team takes on the Alabama Power com pany and Mickey O'Brien's Pres .on boys.
