Danny Sears team increased
its second-place challenge to
Bar 90, leader of the Blue divi-

runs in the opening frame, as
Pete Trombley dished out seven
walks, the losers bounced back
in the fourth with nine tallies,
after having collected three over
the first three innings. Five
hits, Including doubles by
Lorne Dubay and Roger For

Win over Owls
Losers Attempted
RoIIy is Cut Short

Fighting to climb out of the
second division, the Eagles NOV
ed a notch upward last night as
they trounced the Owls Club
60, in a tight Red division soft
ball battle at st. Mary's Sta
dunn.
At that, the Owls started what
looked like a winning rally. Be
hind, 81, going into the last of
the seventh, the losers counted
a run as Vince Hazard singled
and Russ Babe doubled him in.
Then, with no out, they loaded
the bases with a pair of walks.
Two successive forceoutS at
home, however, and force at
second retired the side, ending
their hopes.

PITCHERS GRADUATE

Two other senior pitchers,
p a m er Hudson and Walter
Smith, have also been honored
and the graduation of the three
leaves the squad barren of hurl-
ers, fact not encouraging for
the hopes of next years team.
This years record, while hardly
sensational, was nevertheless
better than that Of last season,
when the team went through the
entire schedule without a vic
tory.
Other seniors who were
awarded letters are: John Muir
ply, second base; Bill Mulseaux,
and Ed Smith, fielders; Bernie
Beine, infielder, an d Palmer
Hudson, pitcher-fielder.
Only junior on the squad to
receive a letter was Ken Yer
nier, who is not expected to be
eligible for athletics next year.
ONE FROSH HONORED
Four sophomores and on e
freshman make up the rest of
the letter winners; The sopho-
mores are: Lorne D'Luge, first
baseman; Tom O'Brien, short
stop; Don Martus, second base
man and Roy Harms, catcher
first baseman.
Third baSeman Ken Trombley
was the only freshman to win a
monogram.
Minor awards went TO Carl

CRANE HCMERS

The winners, playing their
best game of the season, scored
once in the third, added a pair
more in the fourth, on tWo-run
homer by Vance Crane. A SIN
gle by Art Godfrey, walk to
Jack McInerney and another
single, by John Fleming, gave
them a pair more in the fifth. A
walk and two consecutive SIN
giles in the sixth added their
final run.
Collecting only one more hit
than their opponents had, the
winners - with seven - made
theirs count while the Owls were
scattered by Jack Strubank.
Hazard, Babe and Herman all
had two for three for the Owls
while Godfrey carried the same
.667 mark for the winners al

Col. BendetsOn sent the as

"All japanese will be evacu-
