In one OF the most gripping ball
games played this year, United

with its chief challenger. the Mer-
chants. Wednesday night at Recrea-
ton Park in a battle for first place
but seven innings wasn't enough to
decide the contest as the two teams
battled to a A tie. But half a game
behind the Stovemen the surprising
Merchants kept on top Of their OPP
ponents throughout the contest but
were held scoreless after the fourth
inning when United Stove knotted
the count at four runs apiece.
Ray Dennis and Les Hall, last
year team mates on the Stove
Works team but this year on oppo-
site sides. handled the pitching
chores for the afternoon and both
did an excellent job. Each was
tagged for seven hits but II was
mainly due to faulty support that
as many as four runs were made
off each. Hall especially had a diff

Stovemen tied the score in the
third. The Merchants came back to
score a single run In their half Of

the fourth to end the scoring for
the ball game. Thereafter, Dennis
allowed not single hit and faced
just nine men in the final three
innings.
Hall, on the other hand was in
trouble twice although he escaped
without score both times In the
fifth frame he was touched for a
pair OF base hits, and again in the
seventh he was nicked for a pair
but II 1t hadn't been for the fielding

their first defeat instead OF a tie
that will have to be replayed. Ray
Dennis opened the final inning for
the Merchants with looping single
to center, but II looked as though
the rally were going to die sud

things going with clean single

Bob Harvey then took his place at
the plate and after swinging futile
ly at two OF Halls pitches, connect

to send what looked to be a sure
base hit into left center field. How

made a miraculous catch in the
gathering darkness as he dove far
TO his left to spear the low liner
