The long existent tie for first
place in the nter-Church Baseball
league continued in force as a re-
suit of last nights games, both the
st. Matthews German Lutherans
their opponents in close games and
meeting their first tests of the week
satisfactorily. The week of hard
games for the leaders is not yet
over, however, for ION Friday the
st. Mats tackle the South Congre-
gational church and the First Luth-
Grams meet the Swedish Bethany
nine. Billy Preisser and Bill Fresen,
the leagues leading pitchers, con-
tinued on their way, the unbeaten
Preisser winning his sixth straight
and Fresen turning in his 18th vic
tory of the season.
Swedcs VS.. Methodists
Superior staying power enabled
he First Lutherans to defeat the
Methodists by IA, the winners being
invincible after the first inning.
That inning was a wild one all
around. The Swedes got three runs
son, Hoist and Ericsson and an error
on Bengston's grounder. The
Methodsts came back savagely
Sundstrom, Blauvelt, Cowles, Ray
Pinkerton, Jackson and Allison hit
ting successive singles before any
body was out. Four runs scored
before Jackson was caught at the
plate, and double play on Tyler's
fly ended the inning. After that
inning Fresen permitted but one
hit. Ahlgren hit safely and scored
the tying run in the second, and
after two men had gone out in the
fifth Ray Hoist tripled to left and
rode home with the winning counter
on Ericsons single. Ahlgrcn scored
again in the sixth and Hoist in the
final frame.
Fresen pitched cunning game
and received excellent support, par
ticularly from Nyborg and the in
field. Jackson was hit pretty hard,
but several neat catches by Blauvelt
STAYED off a number of runs. Hoist
and Ericsson starred at bat with three
bits apiece, the blows being particu-
larry effective because they usually
came in succession. Nelson, Ahlgren
and Jackson also batted well. The
