The second week of play for the block champion
side.
Monday, September 9, in very sl1pshod game, "B"
block showed complete reversal of the form that
enabled them to capture the American League honors
and NJ" block slapped out u hits to go and win
LIS. "B" block really played like bunch of
schoolboys, but member of the team put it, I'VE
only play for keeps when something Is at stake"
schaff, Russo and Goldfadden the big tickers
for NJ" each getting out of 3.
Tuesday, September 10, the nCn proved they
are serious contenders for top honors, when they
captured their third ght game, this time at the
expense of ne" block. The nc" have really
shown power in this series. "Buck" Williams had
for /, while Abrahims gathering In for $, one
homerrn. Alder pitched heady game, allowing
only hits. Lyons starred in ri ght field, making
several spectacular catches that sort of took the
life out of the Ne" b1ockers. Score; nc" block II,
"Er block 3.
heart-breaker to NM block 81. Lewis, of the Dts,
only allowed hits, but his teanates let him down
by their inability to collect hit when
the bases NJ" block scored runs in the first
ing when Ray Taylor received a walk and scored a.
head of Goldfadden when Ben crossed up the opposi-
tion, who were playing him for left field hit, and
hit a home to right field. Only 22 batters
faced Lewis. believe this is sort of a re-
cord for local softball. ND" block threatened in
the seventh inning when they had two base and
none out, but again they we're unable to find that
necessary punch to push a across the plate.
The defensive play of MN block was hight ght of
this game, for Goldfaden, Beale Taylor, and Russo
sensational.
Thursday, September IL, "A" block threw scare
into "B" block, who finally eked out win by the
score of 1919. I guess that pace "B" block set in
the league competition is beginning tell on them
for they don't look like the team in this
series. IA" block gathered In hits off Marack,
while "B" block touched Shaffer for IL.
Friday, September -, Nd" block and the nc" men
staged see-saw battle, that for thrills, chills,
spills, etc., had few equals this Lewis, of
ND" block, is without doubt one of the hard luck
pitchers of all time. For the second time Last
he pitched ball that should have been good enough to
win, but his teammates let him down with sloppy
fielding, tnexcusab1e bad base running, and costly
errors. The nc" surely hot this series, but
really lucky to win this one cause Alder was
very Wild, he issued bases on balls, that ND"
block failed to capitalize on. Lyons dynamite
at bat, one time ne planted the apple out the
hospital for home run. John must be eating his
Wheaties lately.
That was quite sister act that "F1eetfoot" Dove
and Sam cregger staged Tuesday ght in the game be-
tween ne" and "C"........
Ernie Boggs really gave very interesting exhi-
bition Of base stealing and running in same game.
George Case, of the Senator's, had better look
laurel.
Wednesday nj ght7 They both wore pants of
rust shade that enabled the side-11ne Comedians to
query. Where was the fire sale"???7??9?
Whenever an argument develops regarding
technical point, you always depend George
Bauer to run to his for rule book. Wouldn't
it be a calamity If his wife crossed him up some
night by leaving the book home. I'D like to have
candid snapshot Of Georges reactions.
Russo, of NJ" block, Is Like a deer out in left
field. One night Last week he ran clear from the
left field foul line, the center field POLE
snagged line drive. He also looks we'll at the
plate.
