kensington Cong. 70 17 900 The First Lutherans turned back the onrushing Everyman's Bible Class by 5-3 last night in a closely contested Inter-Church baseball league game at Willow Brook park. the victory assuring the winners of
 at least tie for first place. Bill Fresen and Harry Stromquist hook ed up in mound duel in which the victor allowed six hits as against his opponents five, but Fresen kept the
 hits we'll scattered and had the beneflt Of errorless support. This
 was something which Stromquist lacked, for Hallin made three er
 TOTS at first base, two of them figur- ing in the Swedes' scoring.
 The winners got a run in the first on Nyborg's hit, a wild pitch, and a single by Bengston. In the second stromquist led off for the E. B. c.
 with two base hit and Joe Luke followed with a triple. He scored on passed ball and the Bible class led by 2-l. F'risk singled to start the Lutheran third and Fo- berg drew pass. Nelson was safe on Halln's error and the sacks were full. Nyborg popped out and Frisk was caught at the plate on Fresen's roller, but Hallin erred again on Bengtson's hit and Foberg dashed over with the tying run.
 The Swedes won the game in the fourth. Ahlgren walked and was forced by Hoist, after which Frisk and Foberg hit successive doubles. a passed ball and a fielder's choice bringing in the third run. Tn the fifth Arburr lash out three baeger and stole home, but that was all the Bible class could do.

 The Trinity Methodists adminis- tered sound 1s-2 drubbing to the South Congrega gationalists, scoring in practically every inning and com bining their own hits with the los CTS errors to run up the score. Neither team was at full strength, but the South church, minus it's bat tery, felt its loss the more severely, the patchwork infeld being charged with ten errors. In addition to this the Methodsts hit Parker and Schaefer hard. The South church oatters hit solidlv, but their hard hit balls went straight at tielders every time.
