Royals victory over Belgrade
Sunday broke losing streak of A
games. These two clubs still have
a postponed game to make up.
Brooten's one-sided win from
Grey Eagle halted that teams win
ming streak IF three games. , Gil
bertson did the twirling for the
winners. l.. Nelson socked out a
four-baser for Brooten.
Brooten leads the circuit in scor-
ing with "a points, but Regal has
the highest scoring average and
Melrose boasts of the finest defen-
sive average.
Since Brooten will not be in &C
ton Sunday, Melrose can gain first
place by scalping Grey Eagle this
afternoon and Belgrade on Sun
day.
The two conquerors of the
mighty Brooten nine will mix at
Melrose Sunday with the home
team favored to triumph. The
league has five postponed games to
be played off.
Grey Eagle should trounce West
Union and Regal is chosen to nose
out Sank Centre, the Jekyll-Hyde
team of the league.
Melrose, Brooten and Regal are
unbeaten on their home grounds.
Brooten scored 10 runs in one in
ming against Grey Eagle.
West Union took part in it's sec
ond overtime struggle; both were
played at West Union and both are
the only extra inning contests play
ed in the league. Melrose won the
other one, 10 to in 10 frames.
Melrose with Matchinsky tossing
over the fast ones will be cunning
for their seventh successive win
at Grey Eagle this afternoon. Mat
chinsky has pitched the only full
gem shutout in the league so far
and holds a two-hit game and a
pair of hit affairs to his credit.
The first four teams will partici-
pate in the championship playoffs.
Every team has now won at least
one game and lost at least two
while five of them have dropped
| the decision in at least four bat
ties.
West Union is virtually out of
the running as far as finishing IN
the first four is concerned. Brooten
and Melrose are almost cinches to
place which leaves the other two
berths open to Regal, Belgrade,
Grey Eagle and Sank Centre.
Sank Centre is in tough spot,
having to face three notch clubs in
their remaining clashes, namely,
Regal, Brooten and Melrose.
Belgrade also has a tough row to
hoe to finish in the first division If
six victories is to be the minimum
to qualify. They must meet Reg
al and Grey Eagle once and Mel
rose twice.
Regal is a good bet to place de-
spite tough schedule. They
must meet West Union, Brooten,
Sank Centre, Belgrade and Grey
Eagle. They, will be favored to
win all but one of these tussles.
Grey Eagle should wind up in
fourth place ahead of Belgrade.
They still must face Melrose, Re
gal, Belgrade and West Union and
are picked to win at least two OF
these games, hence they are al
most certain to qualify. .."
West Union has tits remaining
with Brooten, Regal, Grey Eagle
and two with Belgrade. West Un-
ion busted a six game losing streak
Sunday, 80. ..-.-.- .. - '".- u
/ Three of Sank Centres four vic
tories can be classed as upsets as
were two of their five setbacks. ~.
Brooten apparently did not miss
Regal as Gilbertson toiled for them,
scattering nine hits effectively and
getting three out of four himself.
Brooten got to Karels for ID safe
wallops, three of them from the
bat of L. Nelson. Baird and Pelo
divided six hits of the losers equal
ly between them.
