Baird, of Grey Eagle, has made
three hits in each Of his last three
league games. <.s
Melrose made it 9 straight vic
tories by walloping Belgrade II to
5. It was the 9Th consecutive tri-
umph for Matchinsky who dished
out 6 safties and famed IA. Mel
rose socked out IL base knocks and
broke a to tie with run rally
in the eighth. I,
After slaughtering West Union 80
to 4 in their first game, Regal had
to be content with a 8 to 2 win over
that club last week. The victory
was Royals fifth of the season and
it elevated them to third place.
Regal has now won three in a
row. Regal has an open date this
week but can still reach second
place as it still has three postponed
home games to make up.
After sinking to the depths to
lose to the tail end West Union,
nine, Sank Centre rose to the
heights to bump off the second
place Brroten outfit in a to
brannigan. 1t was the fourth up
set victory of the year for the
Main Streeters who can still land
a place in the play-offs.
Melrose kept up it's powerful
scoring against Belgrade and now
they have accumulated 102 markers
to top the league. They also have
the highest scoring average and the
best defensive record.
Brooten has counted SO times in
10 scraps while in nine tussles Re
gal has produced 80 points. Sank
Centre has manufactured 40 tallies
but has given up 76.
Sank Centre has broken even
with every league team save Mel
rose and they meet the Rosies here
Sunday in the feature game of the
week.
Melrose will be out to extend its
sensational winning streak to 10
games while the locals will be ou.
to hold it at nine. IA defeat would
practically eliminate the locals
from a chance to finish in the first
four.
Melrose will enter the game as a
favorite and Sank Centre victory
would be an upset even greater
than their conquest of Brooten.
Melrose repulsed the locals 10 to
on May %. The fasteners tasted
their last loss one week later.
Melrose played here twice last
season, winning a twilight game, z
to and losing to in regularly
scheduled o. T. w. league contest.
Matchinsky has scored 8 straight
decisions over Sank Centre and will
toss up the Stats for the first place
team Sunday. The Melrose speed
ball artist has lost only to Brooten;
Lemm and Kraemer will be held in
reserve.
Soltau will dish up the offerings
against the club which subjected
him to a merciless pounding at Mel
rose. Sank Centre fans saw the
best outfield in the league last Sun
day in the Brooten lineup and this
week they will have the pleasure of
watching the best infield in the cir
cult, that being the Melrose infieId.
kaufman, who will handle the
shoots Of Matchinsky, did not play
against the locals and neither did
Kraemer or Carlson. Matchinsky
is the leading pitcher of the league
and with Kuhlman he comprises
what is regarded as the best bat
terry.
Grey Eagle plays at Belgrade and
is picked to lose this tussle. Broo-
ten is selected to stop West Union.
If Melrose drubs the locals Sunday,
the latter can still gain a play-off
berth provided that Regal beats
Belgrade and Grey Eagle while Bel
grade beats Grey Eagle. That
would leave Sank Centre and Grey
Eagle in a fourth place deadlock.
Should this come about Belgrade
could make it a triple tie by win
ming twice from West Union.
A Grey Eagle victory Sunday
would assure them Of fourth place
