AL Jones Hurls Cubs Into First
Half Title, Defeats Stove Men
CITY LEAGUE STANDING

AL Jones, ace of the Cubs mound
corps, hurled his team into the first
half championship Wednesday as
he allowed but two hits in down,
ing the Stovemen 10. The game
was a replay Of a 6-6 tie June "a,
Jones effectively muted the bats
Of the Stoyemen.
Only Les Hall, the Stove Works
pitcher. was able to solve the de
ceptive sinker ball that Jones used
continuously throughout the con-
test. Hall lashed out two solid sim
giles in the first two trips to the
plate but in the fifth inning he too
succumbed to Jones as he went
down by the strikeout route. Chuck
Frey and Bud Smith were the only
two batsmen to escape that fate as
every other man on the United
Stove team experienced at least
once the humiliation Of striding
back from the plate after three fu-
tile whiffs in the air. In all Jones
famed ten men in the six inning
contest.
One bad inning was what ruined
the Stovemen's chances as the Cubs
got to Hall for five hits and six
runs in the opening inning Two of
the hits were for extra bases, with
]. w. Anderson polling out a double
and big Jim Caldwell smacking out
a long home run to center field.
After this inning Hall settled down
TO real pitching. His team was
never able to recover, though, and
its chance for the first half title
was gone forever.

L. J. Wagner, paragon of City
League pitchers. marched briskly
into softballs Hall of Fame, by
fashioning a no-run no-hit victory
over a hapless Willow Run team.
Wagner's piece of artistry enabled
Trojan Laundry to chalk up its
seventh win in eight starts by a
40 score.
The City League ace very nearly
pitched a perfect game. Only two
Willow Run batters were able to
trot down to first, and in both In
stances they did so only through

Tiges Follow
Old Pattern
Drop 5-4 Encounter
To Yukimo Pippins

Tough 10 beat but practically
always the loser Of the close ones.
That's the tag the rest Of the
Western international league has
hung on the 1871 Town Tigers and
the way the Bengsls blew 81
game to Yakima Pippins at Ath-
letic Park last night was right se-
eording TO pattern.
First the Pippins score In
the first inning without the
benefit Of . base knock. Two
bstters hit by pitcher. one
walk. then q passed ball fol-
lowed by an error and Yakima
scores.
Then the Tigers tie the score on
one hit In the third after failing
in the second on a walk and two
hits. In the sixth the Bengals take
the lead on some smart baseball
a walk, a sacrifice and a hit.
But the lead was short lived.
Three successive hits enabled the
Pippins to tie the score in the
eighth and Morrie Abbott's error
in left field with two away saw
two more Yakima TALES come
home.
The Tigers shaved the lead
in the eighth when Harry
Stoeber tripled after Abbott
had walked. But with nobody
out. three batters failed to
bring Stoeber home.
The ninth inning was even
stephen, both the Pips and Tiges
scoring one apiece but that still
left the Bengals one shy.
Tonight the two teams resume
their three-game series which con-
cludes Saturday after which the
Tigers hit the road for eight days.
