Church League Standing

The White Army smashed it's hoodoo last night and startled the entire Inter-Church league by G-5 victory over the Stanley Memorial team, which was only one game be- hind the leaders. The White Wings
 have been playing good ball all sea- son but have been playing in tough luck, so that they were in the sub- cellar and had little to show for their efforts. Last evening they broke their jinx and upset the Stan mors in one of the hottest battles
 of the current league season. con- ing back three times after the losers had taken the lead.
 Thrice in the first three innings the Stanmors pounded their way into the van, and each time the White Army clawed its way back
 on 10 even terms or past it's oppon- ents. All the runs of the game were scored in those innings. as Fred Rittner and w. Davis settled down after that and pitched scoreless ball. The victory brought the White
 Army into triple tie for seventh place, while it almost ruined the Stanmors' hopes of overriding the
 St, Matts. The lineups and score by innings:

 night, but the Baptists checked this
 rush with two runs scored and two men on base.
