P. & F. Corbins increased their lead in the Industrial baseball league last night by defeating the Stanley Rule & Level combine in a postponed game at Willow Brook park. The league leaders have yet to lose game in the league while changes are taking place after every night of games in the standing in the other places.

 baseball in many instances led in great measure to the downfall of the Butt Makers and after these blobs, the Bearing Makers seized every opportunity to register hits and runs.
 Each team scored a run in the first inning. Tafnirs scored another In the third and two in the fourth. The fifth was their big inning a half dozen tallies being run up in this frame. Salak who had been pitching fairly good ball up to this frame allowed three hits and hit a batsma,n and two errors behind him gave the teams manager plenty of cause to remove him. Jim Scott went in and the big boy was touched for q three bagger by Johnny klatka cleaning the sacks.
 After this frame. the Bearing Makers were able to score only one more counter this coming in the seventh on two singles and an error. The Stanley Works scored one in the sixth and one in the eighth, both after desperate rallies but this was the extent of their scoring and the game went to Fafnirs by a large margin.
 Johnny Klatka featured at the bat for the winners while Ferguson's work, both in serving up the balls and strikes and In fielding his po- sition, was of very high order. The bright spot in the dull play of the Stanley Works was the work of Jimmy Green. the teams captain, at shortstop. Time after time he went after almost sure hits and getting them. with perfect throws got the runners at first. He was the only Stanley Worker to get more than one bingle off Fcrguson's delivery, both of his hits being doubles.

The game was a pitchers battle between Dwight Skinner and K. Parker, with Skinner having the edge by virtue of his effectiveness with men on the bases. He also received the better support, although neither side scored a run which was cleanly earned.
 Bill Darrow led off for the losers in the first frame and bunted safely. working around to third and scoring when Slade dropped Parker's fly. Stockman started for the Center church, hitting safely and counting when Parker fell down fielding Shades hit and threw wildly to first base. With two gone in the second Spring, who had forced Washburn after the latter had singled. stole second and continued to the plate when Sanderson's throw went into center field. In the third the win ners tied things when Stockman' s hit was fielded slowly, giving him two bases, and infleld outs allowed him to complete the circuit.
 The South church had missed q great chance in the third. but Barta stole third with Parker already on the bag and the opportunity was lost In the sixth Bradley slashed a srounder through the box. Blodgett was out at first, but Barta tried to double Bradley and threw into left field the Center church first sacker scoring the winning run.
