League Standing

The P. & F. Corbin baseball team further entrenched itself in first place in the Industrial Baseball League last night when 1t defeated the Russell & Erwin team 13 to 8 in a postponed game played at St. Mary's field. The Russwin team started off to win the game and scored five runs in the first three innings. Then. however. with Al Blanchard pitching a nice game of tall. his fie!ders either kicked away runs or let easy putouts go for hits and allowed the Corbin outfit not only to tie the score, but to secure a big lead. J. Preisser started in the box for the league leaders but he was yanked in the second after four runs had been scored off his deliv- cry and "Huggy' Carlson was sent into the box for the third time this week. Carlson allowed only two runs and six scattered hits while he was on the mound.
 Luke started the ball a-rollIng with a slashing single over third. Hennessey followed with another. Blanchard sent Luke along with 8 long sacrifice fly to center. Scheid- fer got a long single into right bring ing in the two runs In the second Groman singled through short. Jas- per booted the next next. Luke sliced a single through short and on Luke's tumble of Hennessey's roller, the second run of the inning was scored. Morelll's single and Hu- ber's error brought in the fifth run in the third.
 With two out in the last half of the third and Jasper on second after a single and stolen base, "Goodie" Preisser walked. Patrus hit a hard ball at Blanchard and it went for an infield hit to short. Jack Wright slashed drive to right field. Had Jimmy Cosgrove remained where he was. 1t would have hit him but he ran in and widely misjudged the ball. Wright pulled up a third but he could have easily made a homer on the hit
 After this, the Russwins did a Lindbergh. Huber singled and went to second and third on an infield out. X minute later he stole home. furnishing one of the features of the game. Two men were then put out. Carlson singled to left and went to third on Matteb's drive to right. Matteo stole second and an easy fly ball was hit to Morelli in left field and he dropped it, letting in two runs to give Corbins lead or two. Two errors by Jervis and a double brought in three more in the fourth. Another was scored in the fourth on a single. a stolen base and double.
 The Russwins scored another in the seventh on Blanchard's double and Scheidler's single to right. Corbins to make their margin safe. scored three more in the last of the eighth on three hits, a misjudged fly and two errors.
 Both teams sliced the ball out for .12 safeties but Corbins' bingles were timely. Huber's theft of home fea- tured. The fielding gem of the game was provided by Scheidler with il running one-hand stab of long drive to center. Patrus pulled a dou- ble play unassisted by stealing hit on Morelli and tagging second. Luke was caught off first in the ninth after singling by the hidden ball' trick pulled by Joe Jackson. Joe Jasper pulled a nice running catch of a foul ball. Luke was the bambino for Russwins while Patrus got three for Corbins.
