CHEMISTS DEFEAT

Brigade Beats Sp0fford,
1910; 1000 See First Night
SOftball Games

A record-breaking crowd of nearly
1000 people banked Robert Strange

guration of night softball and to
watch the Ethyl-Dow Chemists de-
feat Taylor-C olquitt S to 2 and the
Commercial league Boys Brigade wal
Top Spofford Mills 10 to 10 in a free
for-all thriller.
Alan A. Marshall, attorney, opened
the brief ceremonies by introducing
7. e. Cooper, mayor, who said the
teams making up the Independent
and Commercial leagues are to be
congratulated on their persistence
which resulted after d hard struggle
in the installation of excellent
lights"
Harold H. Harris, sponsor of Tay-
lori olquitt, received high praise
from Mayor Cooper, to whose I'M
firing efforts the city owes the in
stallation Of the lights.
The first game, staged between the
Independent crowd, found the Creo-
soters shaky under the arcs. Two
walks, errors and a couple of
punches, including a telling double
by High, brought in four runs. A
of hits in the second, which
scored the fifth count, ended the
base-knocking by the Chemists.
TIC. was held to two bingles by
Brown until the sixth. Stokley dou-
bled, McKeithan walked, High and

runs. e

The second game was a glorious
hitting spree. Coupled with errors,
ragged playing, walks and other as
sorted misdemeanors, the Boys Bri-
gade charged out in front with a five
run lead in the first, added four
more in the second, and settled down
to adding more as the innings passed.

Waited Too Long
Now the Yanks are struggling
along in the fourth place and the
Yawkey men are just struggling, al
though they hold third place. New
York might go higher but right now
It looks as if they've waited too
long to start that surge expected OF
them.
But what were getting at is the
fact that Uncle Jacob Rupert PROB
ably got his moneys worth out OF
the Yankees. His players came high,
but so did his gates. And on top OF
that there are four straight Ameri-
can league pennants and world
CHAMPIONSHIPS. That's hard to beat
in any league.
And now, Jim Farley-the stamp
and pork-barrel dispenser-with n
help of a few big money guys are
planning on taking over the Ruppert
team at a price between S3,5OO,O0O
and $4,000, 900.
Most of the experts are saying
that's cheap. But l don't KNOW

The Red Sox used three pitchers

Red Seekers gained the lead in the
third inning by scoring two tainted
runs on a pass, two bunts, Doc
Cramer's fly and a wide throw by
Joe Kuhel.
The latter, however, made up for
his miscue by lashing out his 18th
homer in the fourth inning and the
