 Following Saturdays games in the City Baseball League, the Bur ritts, through their to 6 victory over the Pirates and the defeat of the West Ends by the Cardinals, went into sole possession of first place in the standing. The results of the games broke triple tie be- tween the Burritts, West Ends and i Pirates and sent the two losing teams. the Pirates and West Ends into third place a pace behind the Holy Cross and Cardinals. The Holy Cross team messed out the Senecas in 12- inning battle and now, be- hind the Burritts, the Holy Cross and Cardinals are in a tie for second place. The Senecas burrowed deeper l into last place with a standing of no games won and lost,
 BurrittS I-PirateS 6 | A decided weakness in the outfield and the lack of that never -say-die" spirit on the part of the Pirates and the possession of that faculty that l keeps team fighting until the last man is out on the part of the Bur- ritts. gave the Burritts [ to vic tory over the Pirates and first place in the City league standing in the game played on Diamond No. at 4 o'clock The Pirates went into the ninth inning leading by a to score but a bad misplay by Charlow. two singles, a sacrifice fly and a triple, gave the Burritts the edge ' to 6. Then in the last half of the ninth, the Pirates, unable to do anything against Bruno kania, went out like a light. Even in this frame, the last chance that might have turned the tables, was thrown away when Charlow the third man up for the Pirates, hit to shortstop and failed to run the ball out. A bad throw caused a huff at first but Johnny Klatka recovered the ball in plenty of time to touch the bag be- fore the runner.
 The Burritts hit the ball on the nose when hits meant runs. The Pi- rates staged one big rally, in the fifth inning, but, except for another score in the seventh, the team was held scoreless.' Fly balls that seem- ingly should have been caught in the outf1eld dropped for hits and put 'Huggy" Carlson in the hole plenty of times.
 The first two innings resulted in no scores. Then the Pirates all but sewed the game up. In the last half of the third, Carlson sliced q drive to right field for a single. Begley beat out one of the prettiest bunts seen at Walnut Hill park this year. ] Johnny Rose threw wildly to first to get Charlow and Morelli sliced a long single to center, field. This all resulted in three runs. Morelli scored on Mangan's double to right and Bill scored when Budnick drop ped Smiths high fly 10 left field.
 With these odds against them, five runs behind and the game apparent ly lost, the Burritts came in to start one Of the greatest uphill fights any team has put up. A single by Luty, Begley's error on Zaleski's ground ball and Stanley Budnick's hit brought in one run in the fourth. Doubles by Rose and Joe klatka in the seventh scored another
 A double by Carlson and a triple by Morelli to right field gave the Pirates another. Morelli was out at the plate trying to make the drive go for a circuit. In the eighth, the Burritts scored another when Luty singled, went to second and rode home as the Pirates just missed a double play.
 Then came the dawn for the Bur- ritts, as the poets say. The ninth opened with the score 6 to 8 in favor of the Pirates. Stanley Budnick singled and stole second despite a beautiful throw by Mangan. Rose mt 10 Charlow and he muffed the ball. Instead of picking it up and throwing to second to catch Budnick hat-tooted, Charlow gave up the ghast and both men were safe.
