NfIIC Was dIlOlHGI -I6dIH ran up against a snag, and by doing so lost any claim they may have to the championship. Probably figuring the National Box team were some what easy, they allowed Joe Lincoln to go to Deep River, and held Red Johnson in reserve. Barthelson, who had not pitched for some time, was hit pretty solid from the start, and was yanked before the third inning was completed. Johnson started by retiring the two remaining batters and continued to pitch in such form that 1t was very evident that had he started the game Acme would have won. The game was chuck full of close plays which shows the wisdom of the league officials in assigning two umpires. The losers played weird ball at times, and ran wild around the bases The only one who was any way successful along these lines was Eckles, who after getting a scratch hit went all the way around on three successive errors One man was doubled up on a foul fly, making no effort to get back from second when he had time to walk back. Another player making for home plate was ap- parently headed off, but the ball went to the grand stand instead, and he immediately turned back to third and was, by some fast fielding tagged out. Doherty, at short for the winners. plays fine game and has nice easy throw to first. He handled seven chances in the field but had one cost ly error when he begged wild to third base in an effort to complete double play Ryon, who IS shortly leaving for Holy Cross, had no fielding chances but did good work at bat. He got a double and a single and stole second and third in fine style. -eLefty" Hansen is just beginning to get back to his last years form He let Peck Bros. down with five hits and registered another win for East ern Machine Screw
 Three home runs, three there-base hits, and I6 singles was all that the Clock Go. could get off Larry Mo Neil, and only eight innings at that. For good measure the losers con tributed nine errors, everybody but Gustavson and M Golden contribut- ing. The leading hitter of the day was Carpenter, who got three triples and three singles in as many times at bat, and Lundin, Hill and Dunn, by a coincidence all battery men, poled out homer apiece. Dave Mellillo ta double, while eight singles brought the total to 10 hits off Lun- din
 Geometric used new pitcher ans wering to the name of King and the Telephone team got to him for fl hits, just the number that Geometric touched Hill for. Nine errors proved the difference in the teams the Vest vile aggregation winning I5-o.
 Sperry & Barnes players were forced to work Saturday afternoon and had to forfeit their game to Sar- gent & Co.
 National Box gave the Acme team a dinner at Lighthouse Point, and then gave them trimming for dessert
 Bobby Orr will be eligible for the Eastern Machine Screw team this week.
 Rafile, Gordon and Nisto are now with Whitney Blake, but will not be eligible to play Industrial ball this season.
 Cannon, of the Box Shop, drove out l two-bagger that would have been good for a home run on any grounds where the grass was kept cut. Wehner of Eastern Machine Screw 1as I32 put outs to his credit, the argest number of any first baseman n either league.
 Carpenter leads the league in both lome runs and triples.
 Dunn and Hill, also of the Clock Shop, are next in line with three nome runs apiece.
 This Saturday sees the wind up of he regular playing schedule. The Saturday following will be used for my play offs, and then comes the nter-city championships.
 Geometric and Eastern Machine Screw should be the big attraction his week.
