SWEDES Climb Up
TO TIE FOR FIRST
Heavy Scores Rule as Deadlock
Is Again Established
League Standing

| kensington Cong. :. 0 s. 900
/ The First Lutherans surged back
| into first place deadlock in the
Inter-C Church Baseball league on the
crest of a first-inning scoring spree
last night, defeating the First Bap-
fists by IA count. The victory
tied the Swedes with the ST. Mats
once more and gave the two
churches which have already won
pennants an equal chance in the
1927 race. The Swedes won by vir-
ture of big rally before their OPP
ponents settled down. Nelson led
off the first inning with hit, Ny
borg, Frisk, Bengston and Foberg
followed suit, and before the inning
was over all FIVE of them and Eric
son had crossed the plate.
After that Keiffer settled down
and he and his teammates went
grimly about the task of catching
up. May and Roy scored in the
second and Bucholz and Anderson
We're driven across the plate in the
sixth, when Hoist counted.
Fresen was bit below his usual
standard but, with bis early lead,
was not exerting himself. 1t was his
tenth victory of the season. Keif-
fer Dor down after the fatal initial
frame. Roy, Bengston and Hoist
starred for their teams on the at
tack. The line-ups and score by In

| Bible Glass Wins
The Everyman's Bible class hand
ed a spanking 1872 defeat to the
Stanley Memorial nine and went into
a tie for third place with that team.
For two innings it was good game,
but after that the Bible class ran
wild. The Stanmors made run in
the first and. after the E. B. c. had
scored couple, tied things in the
second on Jack Thorstenson's fifth
home run of the season. After that
Harry Stromquist had the Stanmors
at his mercy, while the, Bible class
pounded Carl Rittner hard and
piled up a big score.
The pitching of Stromquist, the
work of Thorstenson in scoring both
of the losers runs. and nice run
ming catch by Hamlin were the high
lights. The line-ups and score by
