White Army .,... 0 ,000 | The champion First Lutherans were handed their second defeat of ! the present Inter-Church league | baseball season last night when 1 Goodrich of the Kcnsington Con ! Ercgational team started q double l play that killed a last-inning rally and gave his team 3-2 victory. | He and Bill Fresen had staged one ! 1 Of the prettiest pitching duels of | the season, each being scored one i in only one inning, the fourth, l when both teams punched most of | 1 their few hits to score all their ! i runs. The exchange left Kensiugton | | one run ahead, and it held this advantage safely until the final | inning. After Erickson had gone | out, Hoist walked. Olson singled l and both runners moved up on a | i passed ball. Fresen, with q chance to win his own game, took three and-one count, fouled trying to | i bunt, and then lined over Good l rich's head. Goodrich flung up q hand and defected the ball up- ward As the runners started for ! the plate, the Kensington pitcher | ] began 10 run in circles and finally ! seized the ball as it came down | again, tossing 10 Chatkopsky to | double Hoist off base and end the game.
 Goodrich pitched fine game but was weakening at the finish, and . Fresen also turned in a neat per formance. The fielding of both teams was fast B. Clark turning in the feature with running catch 1.-the grass in left. The line-ups and score by innings:

 Stanley Memorial Wins The Stanley Memorial church . won it's second victory by defeating the White Army in another @-2 game. Both Carl Rittncr and II. Thomas were in fine form and turned back batter after batter with the aid Of sure fielding. The White Army took lead in the first. but the Stanmor crew cvenel this in the second and then slipped into the lead in the third. A one-run rally by the losers featured the fourth, but there the scoring stopped. A final-inning threat was nipped when Boehm pulled down a fly back of second. II was tight battle, with spectacular fielding and very little solid hitting.

 Baptists Take SIugfest
 The third game of the night was Of q very different character, the First Baptists pulling out an 11-7 victory from the Center church in q slugfest filled with errors. The elder Stockman was wild and the Baptsts jumped on his offerings, Frank Keefa pounding a home run and triple to the fence, and Brad ley took over the pitching in the third. He made q poor start but then settled down and twirled three scorcloss innings Both hurl- CTS were handicapped by wretched fielding, especially on fly balls, the Center church players dropping loft after loft
 Kcefa was given better support and turned back the losers without much trouble. At the end he re- tired in favor of young Carroll, who was pounded hard but came through safely. The fielding Of George Westerman. jr, was the outstanding feature Of the game; he turned in several circus catches and did fine backing up on ground balls through the intleld.
 An odd point about the game was that each team used a father and-son combination of senior and junior, George Westerman, ST.. and George Westerman, jr, played with the Baptists, while the Center church used Artemas Stockman, ST., and Artemas Stockman, jr The line-ups and score by innings:
