League Standing

The First Lutherans continued their victorious march in the 1n- ter-Church baseball league last night by meting out an S-1 thrash ing to the South Congregational church at Willow Brook park. For almost six innings the game was 8 nip-and-tuck affair, but then the South church ran into some tough luck, blew up. and handed the game to the Swedes. Bill Fresen pitched a steady and heady game for the swedes; Bill Darrow also did we'll on the mound and de- served better luck than he had The game ended in tragedy for Darrow. for he tripped over Ray Holst's leg in beating out a bunt in the final inning; he took nasty tumble and injured his own leg very badly.
 After both teams had failed to count in the first, Peck led off with a double and scored on Wash burns single. Washburn was nailed in an easy double play, but Spring was safe on an error and Bill Dar- row singled. Parker singled to right, but Spring stopped between Tn their half the Swedes filled the | bases with two out and Ericsson scored on a passed ball. Then came a succession of scoreless innings. pitchers and fielders being too much for the hatters. In the last of the sixth, however. two we'll placed bunts and Pecks error on a pop fly filled the bases with nobody down. One was cut down at home, but the return throw to third was ruled too late on q clos decision. Then Peck made a succession of passed balls and the Swedes scored seven runs before they were re- tired. The final South church rally was abortive.
