~ oAiAo' tlc 4AAPpAA0' SCONAll6 drama of the diamond, with its un- expected happenings, it uncertain ties and all its excitement, was en- acted at Walnut Hill part Saturday afternoon when the Industrial Lea que champions, P. & F. Corbin baseball team nosed out the Sokols. champions of the City League in the second game of the city cham pionship series and ended the quest for the City title this season. The final score was l2 to II but the flg- ures tell nothing of the bitter fight waged by both teams for suprema- cy or the intense excitement that gripped the crowd of more than 4,5oo spectators who watched the battle from vantage points about Diamond No. 1.
 Brow-beaten in the first and last parts of the game. the resourceful Corbin combination staged a great comeback through brainy strategy to score enough runs in the ninth inning to secure two-run lead. Then, with the Sokol sky blue and dark, Partyka, erstwhile pitcher but first baseman in Saturdays game, electrified the throngs with a hit to the first diamond that only for the fast fielding of "Goodie" Preisser, would have been a home run. As Tronoski was on base and scored on the hit. Partyka's SCOT ing would have tied the count and probably have sent the game into extra innings. AS it was, he died on third base when Zapatka lifted a weak foul fly to Jasper at third base.
 Wright Hero of Game
 Jack Wright, veteran Corbin catcher, one of the hardest hitters in the city few years back. emerged as the outstanding hero of the game. The life of a pinch hitter is anything but rosy and Wright was picked for this role in the first half of the ninth inning One man was out, Huber was on second and ed off two, had three balls on him when ' he picked one of Brooks fast ones and wallopped it between center and right field for three bases. The score at this time was 10-9 in favor of the Sokols. The two runs put Corbins in the lead by one run. Heinzman then was put into the game, taking Wright's posi- ton on third and he scored when Lipka sent A double to left field. The two runs were enough to win. | From the first to the last inning, the game seethed with excitement. The SokAs scored one run in the first, another in the second and their third counter in the third. Scorless for three innings, the Cor bin team opened up in the fourth and. coupled with a bad throw into center field by sullick. tied the count with a three-run rally.
 Loafing Counts Heavily
 The Sokols went scoreless in the fourth and the Corbin team got a four run lead in the fifth through careless bit of outield play by the Sokols. Loafing on hit balls by players has always been dangerous and when Charlie Kredar failed to get going on a high, long fly by Huber into left field, the ball drop ped clear for a triple and then Kredar threw badly to third allow ing Huber to score. The hit result ed in four runs as the bases weU loaded with two out when the hit was made. The ball went a miN high and Keedar started on lope . for it. He misjudged it, turned and could still have covered it had he extended himself AS it wac, the play was one of the poorest of the game and 1t might have been the turning point that gave the Corbin team the verdict. Another hit and an error in the sixth gave the Cor bin team still another run and the score stood to in its favon The Sokols got one back in the sixth and still another in the seventh while Corbins got one in the first of the eighth.
