ing out total Of % hits, while David
son allowed the Eagles 10 scattered
bingles, easing up as the Takoma count
was rolled up. Goodwin and Sans did
the flinging for the Eagles.
The Dixie Pigs, however. served warn
ing that they, too, are ready for the
titular combat by winning two from the
Fredericksburg Elks by 5-to-4 and 8-to-6
scores.
The Tigers rise to the top has sur
prised even their most ardent followers,
as the Takomas barely were able to
stagger under the wire in the Mont
gomery County race after being the VIC
tins of slump which nearly gave the
Chevy Chase Grays the title
The Tigers probably will go into the
