-Four A Mines Battle
In City Loop Ti|ts
Bearing on Title
B. Teens Also TO Mix
Today in Games Thot
Promise Hot Action

With five teams waging a free
for-all for the Section A leadership
and three locked in a titanic struggle
for the top rung in Section B, the
National City League unlimited race
threatens to be tighter than Gibson
Girl corset by sundown today.
The pacemaking teams in Section
A have lost only one game each, but
four OF these meet today and the
losers may as we'll kiss goodbye their
hopes of snagging first-half flag
honors. In Section B the future
course OF the race depends on Plaza
Tile and Marbles game with the
undefeated Washington Home I'm
provement crew.. Victory for Plaza,
Firing Cinotti's nine, will give it a
tie for the lead. If st. Francis
Xavier bumps of Atchison-K Keller,
it will be only half-game behind
in favorable position to make it a
triple tie.
Slant Apt to Hurl.
Frank Small Motors, conqueror
OF the potent Klein's Tavern dele
cation last week, is slight favorite
over Miller Furniture today, but the
race thus far has not gone according
to form and more upsets may be ex-
pected. Lefty" Stant, who tripped
Klein's is expected to get the starting
mound assignment. Hirch, who lost
TO D. G. S. and whipped Orange Disc
IN two previous appearances, is due
to start for Millers.
Flood will have it's old pilot at the
helm for the first time this season
with Herman Littman back on deck.
Ihe peppery manager has been away
to school, but will be with the team
the remained of the summer. Flood
last year set off a lot of fireworks
before finally bowling out. Burroughs
or Dick Rozzelle will hurl for the
Plumbers with Claude Bradley serv-
ing 'em up for Packard Washington.
Release of a flock of high school
ball players with the close of the
championship series has bolstered
all Junior teams, and beginning to-
day smart, fast brand of play NAV
be expected. Jack Hoff's Cardinals
benefited to the extent of 10 Eastern
stalwarts, but Naimans Photog-
raphers also drew a raft of prize
beauties
Naiman's Gets Stars.
Naimans roster includes Bill
Fisher, brilliant Central High
moundman who hurled his mates
to the championship; Bob Mulvihill,
Gonzaga third baseman; Dick
Mosser, outfielder, and Charley
Klingman, pitcher, both from Gen.
trail and Vic McCampbell, Tech out
fielder.
Ullne Ice was another inmeas-
urably strengthened by an influx
OF new talent. Its roster added Lou
Radios and Don Mclaughlin of East
ern; Elmer Raba, brilliant Gonzaga
outflelder; Marty Green and Jimmy
(Blimp) Webb of Tech.
Some familiar names bobbed up
on the Police No. Boys Club list,
with Ray Hooper and Johnny Lay
cock at the top. Hooper's dad
pitched for the old Treasury, Clar-
endon and Fire Department mines,
while Laycocks father, Lefty" was
star portsider with Clarendon and
the Knickerbockers.
Francis McDermott, whose dad
played football for the Palace A. c.,
is another member of the club.
Francis Simpson. star outfelder, still
is on the sidelines with a fractured
bone in his wrist and probably will
not see action for at least two more
weeks.
