fattended their battlng averages
and maintained their full game
lead in the city softball league
eat the expense of the makeshift
NavSta ten.
Opening doubleheader at
Bayview Park, the smuggling
I Hair Cutters cut loose with a %
hit attack against a pair of So
called moundsmen. Before the
hour and-a-half time-linit ended
the merry -go-round, nineteen
Barber runners had crossed the
plate, aided by half-dozen err
rorS.
Meanwhile, Memo Castro, ac-
claimed the ace of the Sawyer
/ pitching staff, handcuffed the
/ NavStas with four bingles and
/ two runs.
Charlie Sands, starting Station
hurler, was the victim of TO-
/ hit, l3-run bombardment. He
vacated the hill in the fifth with
! three men on base and five mark
ers already recorded on the score
board. He walked five batters
and struckout three.
! Clarence AHShouse, who re-
lieved Sands, allowed only three
runs and six bingles.
Arthur "Reese" Thompson, a
rookie Sawyer, blasted four for
! four, including a double and
/ two singles off Sands and triple
/ off Allshouse. In his first fifth
! inning appearance at the plate,
! he singled off Sands and came
back later in the same frame to
garner a Texas Lacquer off Ais
/ house, who had replaced Sands
! in the meantime.
! Leo Stanley, a mediocre out
| fielder of the BARRIERS, collected
| four for five, three singles and a
| double. Like Thompson, he hit
safely twice in the fifth, a two
| Dagger off Sands and single off
! Allshouse. Tynes and Hopkins
poled three singles each.
! Ralph Flash Arnold, rookie
Sawyer shortstop, gave an ex-
cellent account of himself in the
field, executing several difficult
running catches. Gabriel Grub
Der" Garcia, NavSta leftfielder,
was outstanding on the defense
for the losers.

ance in the previous scrap with
the Plumbers, threw scare for
four innings. Simmons, new
Doughboy twirler, held the de-

run and two hits during that
time. He voluntarily left the
mound in the fifth when he walk

worked the count to two balls
and no strikes on the fourth
hitter.
