 M. c, A. by a g to count Protest Reversed The Paradise Park team now rests in first place without defeat 10 mar it's record. The change in the standing was caused by the revers- ing of a decision by Director Gerald McCourt of the circuit and the re. versed decision does not allow the Washington protest
 The protest occurred after the Washington-Paradise Park contest, which was won by the latter. The losers protested the game. claiming that Zapor. the rightfielder of the winners was over the age limit. A birth certificate which was shown by the player in question failed to help the situation as the paper was wrongly dated. However, Director
 A'tiAS" 4heshlli ol the IaradlS2 Park team, secured a second birth certificate from Springfield, the birthplace of the player in question and with this the decision of the league head was reversed.
 Vance 1S-Rurritt i
 After suffering five successive losses, the Vance team came back with a vengeance and hammered out an s to win over the Burritt nine, to take its first game of the season. The victory also raised the Southenders out of the cellar.
 Mahan started on the mound for the winning combination but exper- fenced a rocky start. He was touch- ed for three hits and four runs in the first three innings but settled down from then on and hurled mas- terful ball. He sent back Il of the Burritt batsmen on strikes.
 At the start. the game had all in dications of being a closely contest ed affair The Burritt outfit chalked up a run in the opening inning and added two more to this before the second session closed. The winners came back to count twice in the | second and knot the score at three i all in the third when Wieczorek lift | ed out home run.
 The break came in the fourth | canto and the Nancers taking advan- tage of every opportunity, scored | nine runs to settle the issue. The | winners broke loose again in the | eighth and touched McGrath. who | the Burritt's starting pitch | CT in the seventh, for five more tall | lies
 After the third session. the losers were unable to solve the Vance l clubs hurler and during the remain l der of the game, they failed to score.
 Wieczorek led the hitting attack of the winners while the defense work of the entire Vance team was of high order. Carl Listro, who played in three positions for the csers, was the shining light of his outfit. He poked out three safe blows n five trips to the plate and made | pretty one handed catch in short leld during the game. The sum- nary:
