STANLEY WORKS WIN IN
HARD lO-lNNlNC BATTLE
Stanley Rule Team Ties Score In Eighth Only to Lose
Out In Extra Frame-Scott and Wolfe In Bitter
Duel-Game Was Full of Thrills-Snyder's Blunt In
Final Session Proves to Be Winning Hit - Large
Crowd Attends.

The Stanley Works baseball team
went through one Of the most bit.
ter contested games played in the
Industrial Leageu this year before
it scored a 3 TO 2 victory over the
Stanley Rule g. Level team last
night at Walnut Hill park. The
game went irto the tenth inning
before it was decided and then the
Stanley Works crew got its extra
run that ultimately gave 1t the con-
test and victory. The win puts the
Stanley Works into a tie with the
Corbin team for first place.
For the players, the contest was
one OF the most nerve Wracking
played this year. For the spectators,
it was the greatest and most eXcit-
ing battle of the season and the
largest crowd of the year, lining
both left and right field foul lines
and grouped in center field, was
well repaid for its presence.
Big Jim Scott, ace of the Stanley
Works twirling staff and Billy
Wolfe, premier twirler for the Rul-
ers, became deadlocked in one OF
the tightest pitching duels seen this
year and 1t was only through the
excellent work of his mates with the
stick that Scott came out on top of
the twirling star Of the Rule Shop.
Wolfe walked no batters and struck
out six. Scott walked three and
struck out five men. Stanley Works
however got 10 hits to eight for the
Rulers and these two bingles de-
cided the game.
The Stanley Works got away TO
big start in the first inning by
scoring two runs and the Stanley
Rule had a hard uphill battle to
win. Both pitchers extricated them
selves from tight holes with men on
third and second and the excite
ment at all times was most intense.
Paul Snyder started the game by
slashing the third pitched ball
straight onto the left field foul line
for home run Gaida was out at
first. Green then smashed a double
into right center but Parsons popped
out. Schroeder with two strikes on
him, lined the ball between the left
and center fielder for three bases
scoring Green ahead of him.
TIL Stanley Rule got one run
back IN the second frame. Argosy,
first man up. singled into right.
Billy Schmidt followed him with a
double along the right field line
and Argosy completed the trip.
After this the Rulers got the bases
full but Jervis struck out to end
the inning.
The game went along with Meth
err team scoring until the eighth
when the Stanley Rule tied 1t up.
Carrozza fouled out to the catcher.
Schaefer flied out to center. ArgoGy
slapped a hit between third and
short which Green knocked down
but couldn't field. Schmidt drove a
single into center and Gaida let the
ball roll through his legs and Argosy
brought in the tieing run.
Brilliant pitching by Wolfe and
excellent support behind him forced
the game an extra inning in the last
OF the ninth. Dick Schroeder crash
ed a double into right field. Bud
nick kot Texas Lacquer over third
base and Schroeder stopped at
third, Budnick going to second.
There was nobody out. Pelletier,
who had been injured during the
game, struck out Grail landed on a
last one and drove a liner into CEN
ter. Schaafer came in fast and
made a ebautiful shoe string catch
of it. Schroeder thinking it was a
hit had started for home and was
therefore unable to score on the
sacrifice. Scott drove a mighty long
fly into left for the third out.
In the tenth, Paul Snyder bur te
and beat the throw to first Wolfe
got the ball and threw wildly to
