Lumberjatks
Troun(e Hotel
in 1874 Game

Top-koteh Contest
Turns Out to Be
Complete Runowoy
The power of Hubarth &
Schott softball teams which has
been felt in local circuits for the
past several years has again
burst forth and today the Lum-
berjacks are in the drivers
seat. After oflirting around the
No. l spot in the Major Sofgball
League for the past six or seven
weeks, H. e. S. finally took over
last night as they handed Den
marsh Hotel an unmerciful
beating, Is to 4, at st. Mary's
Stadium before the largest
crowd of the season. The loss
snapped six-game winning
streak for the Hotelmen.
Picked by pre-game dopesters
as a top-notch contest in the
making, the tilt was anything
but that. The Lumbermen pro-
ceeded to NIKE a runaway of the
clash from the first frame on
when they piled up five runs in
the initial stanza and had things
their own way all during the
fray.
~ In direct contrast to his bril-
liant pitching against Super
Cleaners last week, Marv Leg
gett, Denmarsh hurler, had a
bad night and ten hits were
made off his delivery before he
left the game and Howard Pea
body came in to relieve him. The
Lumberjacks treated the latter
no better as they blasted five
more safeties off his servings,
one of which was a mighty home
run by Ralph Siewert.
THREE SINGLES
Before the Hotelmen could
come in for their turn at bat in
the opening frame, Marv Duck
ert, Bill Beardslee and Pete
Heller had singled, Siewert had
gotten on through an error and
Pat Parker with a tWo-base hit.
All five men completed a trip
around the bases.
Louie Trombley's single, a.
sacrifice, an infield out and Sic
wert's single gave II. &. S. six
run lead before Denmarsh
broke through for a run in the
last of the third. Bill DuBay
singled, was sacrificed J. base
and came home on Otto Wiss-
ner's one-base drive.
With two away in the fifth,
Hubarth e. Schott pushed two
more men around. Pete Heller
singled, Siewert tripled and
Parker singled. This was the
most profitable stanza for Den
marsh. Walter Ostrom singled
and when DuBay hit back to the
box, both he and Ostrom were
safe on a late throw to second
trying for a forceout. Ezz Kel-
Ter singled to drive in Ostrom
and put DuBay on thirn. An err
ror in the outfield. on the hit
permitted Keller to take second
base. Wissner flied to right
field and DuBay scored after the
catch. Keller crossed the plate
as Peabody was being tossed out
at first.
FIVE MORE
AS a final display of power,
H. e. S. counted five more times
in the last inning. With one out
l.. Trombley doubled. Beardslee
singled and Trombley went to
third. Beardslee stole second.
Trombley tried to score on a
passed ball and after being tag
ged was called safe as the Den
marsh catcher dropped the bali.
A moment later Beardslee stole
home. Heller was given a life as
an error was made on his
grounder and SieWert scored be-
hind Heller when he connected
for long home run to deep left
field. Parker went to second on
an error and Don Trombley
tripled TO bring him in. That
ended the fireworks as the next
two men were retired.
Mary Duckert allowed seven
hits TO Denmarsh batters but
scattered them among as many
plyers. Bill Beardslee had a per-
feet night with the hickory for
II. & S. with two for two. Parker
