 Fafnir 5-Stan1ey Works
 A decision by Umpire Billy Fitz- patrick in the ninth inning limiting Paul Schneider to two bases on a ball hit by the tree in right field of Diamond No. ? and holding Charlow on third base on the two base rul- ing, checked a rally by the Stanley Works that would have given them a probable victory over the Fafnir Bearing team in the last meeting of the two this year.
 The score was 10 4 in favor of Fafnirs when, with two out and darkness coming on fast, Charlow hit a single over second. Schneider followed him with a smash to right center field. The ball travelled low and on line. It passed the tree without touching, apparently. and Schneider would easily have made home run on the hit.
 Umpire Fitzpatrick, however. rul- ed that the hit was good for only two bases. He interpreted the rule that whether the ball touched the tree or not, as long as it passed through the branches, the rule was in effect. AS is usual. thea umpire won out and Stanley Works failed to score as Dick Schroeder famed for the third out.
 Stanley Works threw away all sorts of chances to win the game Dumb base running in the first few innings shut the team off without score and a start towards tying the count was made only in the seventh inning
 Fatnirs played smart baseball all the way through. The team scored run in the second. third. fourth and fifth innings. It got another in the seventh to make it's total five for the night.
 Zembko went to pieces in the S4AlIl I!iIlliiS M diNllS lOuI IltI. ne vas relieved by "LeftF' Haber who was touched for an infieId hit by Schneider the first man to face him. The ball went to Bucheri at short and Merline made a foolish attempt to make home on the play and he was an easy out. Three runs, however, were scored. Another came in the eighth on two doubles, one by Schroeder and the other by Grail
 Then came the exciting ninth in ming and the adverse decision by the umpire and the game was over
 There were several outstanding features in the game. Walicki pull ed the fastest one when he walked to first. stole second and then pill fered third. Then. as Schuster was standing in the box. with the ball in position to pitch, Walicki stole home, sliding in safely. Jim O'Brien pulled down 8 thrilling enchanted catch in left field. Paul Schneider pulled down some pretty flies in center. Joe kania played a stellar game at third having nine assists and two putouts without an error. Krause played the game Of his career on first base.
 Schneider led both teams in hit ting. He cracked out four out Of four, including two doubles, one of which would have been good for home run on any other field. Faber was the only Fafnir player 10 get two hits. Elton was sent into the game for the Fafnir team so that he could gain his letter in baseball.
