League lost year. But o9e
didn't matter to the CIeoners.
| With Catcher Hank Brennl-
man instiIIine new life into the
club with his lively Ploy
throughout the season, the
Supermen breezed throue h the
final pIoyoffs without losing q
game, winning three and tying
one.
In all fairness to Hubarth &
Schott, it can be said they didn't
60 down without a bitter strug-
gle. The aggregation had to play
more games in the playoffs than
any other outfit and kept the
issue in doubt until the fag end
of last nights battle. The Lum-
bermen also finished the season
without the services of their
giant first baseman, Ralph Sic
vert, who was injured rly IN
August and had to retire for the
rest of the year.
ANYBODY'S GAME -...
Last nights affair was a ding
dong tussle for five innings, but
the Cleaners got busy in the
sixth frame and iced the game
with three big runs. After Glenn
latham had been called out for
interference, Brenniman work
ed Marv Duckert, H. & S. pitch
err, for a base on balls. Mel
Ere ok, who had been
chucking good ball after a Ghaky
start, took matters into his own
hands and lined a triple over
first base and out into deep
right field pushing Brenniman
around ahead of him. A moment
later passed ball permitted
Merry Mel" to cross the plate.
Duckert got the next man on
a groundcr to Shortstop, but at
this point the Hubarth & SChott
defense gave way and three sue
cessive misplays were commit
ted to let in the third score of
the stanza. Valaer DeneWith
reached base on an error at first
and when the H. g. S. second
baseman threw the ball past
first base on Clarence Seibert's
grounder, the batter took second
and Denewith pulled up at third.
Fred Irwin also hit a grounder,
this one TO shortstop, and when
bobble resulted, DeneWith
scored but Seibert was tagged
trying to reach third on the
boot.
DENEWITH HITS
The first Super marker came
in the second session. Brenni-
man opened with a single and
went 10 second on a passed ball
after NJ. Frederick had been
called out for bunting foul on
his third strike. Wally Schon-
setback flied to left field, Brenni-
man moving over TO third, then
Denewith stepped up and lined
the first pitch to right center
field for three bases, "Hankus
Pankus looping over the plate
TO score. Seibert ended the in
ming by going out. pitcher to
first.
Both teams had severa
chances to score during the con-
test but missed the boat. Right at
the opening gun, Hubarth &
Schott lost its best chance TO
tally when Louie Trombley, Bill
Beardslee and Pete Heller sim
gIed in succession TO fill the
bases with one out. Frederick
pitched over the threat, how
ever, by getting Harry Albrecht
on a foul fly which Brenniman
caught in the crowd alongside
the backStop, and inducing Pat
Parker TO fly out TO center field.
1t was the Cleaners who near
ly scored in the third. With one
away Les Frederick walked and
was sent TO third on brother
Floyds single TO right field, the
latter going TO second on the
throw-in. Bud Moore hit back
TO the mound and Les was tag
ged out at the plate. latham was
thrown out, second TO first, TO
end the inning.
TREAT IN FOURTH
The Quinnmen again put men
in scoring position in the fourth
but Duckert escaped without
any damage being done. Bren-
niman singled to lead off and
there were men on second and
third moment later when an
overthrow at first followed Nj
Frederick's bunt back TO the
