 The second surprise of the sea son in the Industrial league play was sprung last night at Walnut Hill park when P. & r. Corbin, led by Jerry Griffin, the. veteran 1 moundsman of the league, toppled | the Fafnir club from its position in first place in a well played and exciting game in which all sorts Of baseball were played. Griffin op- posed Jim Havlick and although Havlck withdrew after the fifth inning in favor of Chick" Stanley Corbins managed 10 squeeze in two additional runs that gave them the game.
 II was Jack Wright's play in the ninth inning with Jasper on third and Patrus on second. when he struck at a wild pitch for his third strike and ran for first that scored both the runners and gave Corbins the margin by which they won the game.
 Corbins got away 10 a good lead in the first inning scoring three runs on walk to Conway. Jas per's like on Lipetz' error, Patrus' sacrifice, Hubers infeld tap and singles by Jackson and Wright. Fafnirs followed by scoring three in the second. Bclscr cloutcd one for three bases and Weir followed him with another binglc of like proportions. Haylick walked and Kenure hit sacrifice fly, O'Brien walked and Huber threw poorly to first on Lipetz' roller
 Both teams added TWO in the third and Corbins got another in the fourth. Conway scored all by himself in the sixth when he shot single past short and Jasper sac rificed him to second. He then stole third and after a short wait at that station, dashed for home and was called safe. In the Fafnir half, O'Brien walked for the third time. stole second and was brought in on singles by Lipetz and Paulson,
 Corbins went into the ninth with darkness fast settling over the field and Chick" Stanley sending them in like an express train. Jasper crouched over the plate and found one for a single 10 right Patrus got his eye peeled and sent one into the same spot The two pulled off q double steal and then Wright came up. After two strikes, things looked dark for Corhins but Wright picked a wild pitch 10 swing for his third strike and Jasper and Patrus scored. Paulson and Weir both walked in Fafnir's half but though they scored, Griffin struck Stanley and Kcnure out to end the game in his favor.
 The game was replcte. with fea- lures with "Micky" Huber playing the leading role. O'Bricn came to bat in the third and whalcd a gromdor 10 third. Huber came in on the ball. but 1t took q funny hop and struck Huber square in the neck putting the entire imprint or the seams there, but although dazed for a second, Huber retrieved the ball in time O toss the fleet footed outfcld- CT out at first. IL was a beautiful play. Huber was the entire show in the eighth. Belser had got on on a single Stanley crashed one between third and short that seemed 10 he a sure hit, but Huber made a spectac- ular one handed stop Of the ball, tossed il 10 Patrus at second who made wonderful catch Of low throw and then turned and threw cut Stanley at first for 6 neat double play. The next man. Kenure, picked the first one and slammed it straight at Huber. The ball went like shot and Micky got bith hands on it. In the darkness il looked as if he missed it because he Whirlcd and started behind him to find the ball. He stopped short with it stuck in his glove between the thumb and first finger. Patrus played q whale of a game al second and Wright wasn't far behind him on first O'Bricn made two spectacular catches in inc ou'feli after hard runs while Paul. son made a great catch Of a foul be- yonl third base. Conway pulled down two nice flies in center.
 Gerry Griffith worked like Wal ter Johnson, kept Fafnirs' six hts scattered and won his game hy strik- ing out the opposing battery in the last of the ninth for the second and third out. Jim Havlick did good work while in the box, but as if got dark, the Fafnir strategy called ou Stanley with his speed to keep Cor bins safe. Three runs were made off his delivery, Conway's spectacular steal Of home accounting for one, and Wrights healy work accounting for the other two, The game was thoroughly enjoyed by large crowd Of fans, The score:
