in the fifth, another in the sixth
and slammed home four more
in the seventh.
Louie Trombley tailed the
first II. & S. marker in the first
inning when he walked and stole
second. Pete Heller brought
him in a moment later with his
double to center.
ERRORS COUNT
Bernie School was safe at sec
ond on an error in the big
Hubarth and Schott third inning
and took third on another mis-
play, following Duckert's infield
hit. l.. Trombley singled to score
School and send Duckert to
third. A passed ball let Duckert
in and Trombley wound up on
third. Bill Beardslee received a
base on balls and on passed
ball Trombley score and
BeardSlee took second. Heller
popped TO short but Pat Parker
doubled TO bring Beardslee
home and an error in the out
field and another at the plate
permitted Parker to complete a
circuit of the bases for the final
run of the Stanza.
Harry Albrecht's single, two
sacrifices and an error added an
other marker to the II. & S. total
in the fourth while two TeXaco
misplays and Beardslee's one
Dagger gave the winners another
pair of counters in the fifth.
Jerry Cont brought in the
tenth Hubarth G. Schott run in

him in. Parker moved to second
on a passed ball and came home
when Elmer Rachow doubled to
center. A passed ball and an in
