 Although the stanley Rule ( Level team hasn't won . game In the In. dustrial league yet, the team ts TO. eardsd as one of the pretttest hsld. ing outfts in the entire league. Last week during one of the games the crew played, one of the incest and best plays seen this year was exe- cuted,
 TAere were runners on first and third with one out. Darzy Corraxso was catching. Billy Darrow was play ine shortstop and Zapatka was on second.
 On the frst pitch, the man on first started to second. Zapatka GOV. cred tho beg, Darrow came in for . short throw and Jacobson covered the third sack. The throw was per. feet. Tho runner on third didn't dare move for fear Darrow would inter- cept the throw and toss him out Tt home. The result was that the throw went to second. catching the runner there and making the second out of the game.
 Darby Corraxxo is becoming . ter TOT to runners on the base paths. He is throwing like . bullet and only once in . great while do his throws TO o6 at ell. He picks unwary rum ners oR the bags and this has caused them all to play 1t safe when Darby h behind the bat.
 Jimmy Clinton is coaching the Stanley Rule team and as he watch- cd his crew go down to defeat at tho hands of the American Paper Goods team Thursday night. he re- marked that his crew had everything but it couldn't seem to win.
 With Landers leading tho league following the teams sensational vtc- tory over P. < F. Corbin, the battle will 10 merrily on to tho end. Two xames will bs played next Tuesday night and one will be played on Thursday.
 The feature game next Tuesday night will bring together Stanley Works and P. X F.. Corbin. Both teams are in second place and both will be battling to retain the posi- ton solely and alone.
 Fafnirs and Landers will clash next Thursday night and the Uni versals will have to keep at the top of their form in order to stay 1t the top of the heap in the standing.
 Plenty of fight is expected this afternoon at Walnut Hill park when the Burritts clash with the Holy Cross agsfesation. One of the largest crowds of the season will bs out to witness the battle and there will be plenty of fight among the packers of the teams. if all the stories arising from the two camps are true.
 Babe Ruth needs . couple of weeks oil every 90 often, it seems, because his work of yesterday in the second game appeared to make him like . revivified person. Two home runs added to his list of 10 and starts him oR after tho leaders again.
 Large numbers of local fans are going down to sec the teams battle today and tomorrow. Many others were disappointed in their attempts to get tickets.
 The following clipping has been sent to us about Mickey Erno, for mer local boy. who now sports the title of deaweight champion of the world:
 ''The liveliest light on the card was the eight round tiff in which Mickey Erno, Pacific coast flea weight" battered his way to a six round margin over Wildcat Lacey of Dallas. Texas. The latter had taken the place of Phil Roberts, of Detroit. who was kept from the ring by | severe mouth cut.
 ''These little chaps fought it out every inch of the way until the sixth, when Lacey began to tire under ter rife body punches from Erno. who threw gloves moro like the middle weight than a 112 pounder. Until then. Lacey had fought well. often landing jolting lefts and rights to the head. He withered under the body punches of Erno. however. and back-pedalled and counter punched to the finish. Erno. like Bernard. made such big hit with fans that he would be welcome again.
