Super Cleaners Save Skins
in 10 Clash With TroiIers

and set the next two men down
on strikes.
The Qulnnmen counted their
marker IN second inning. After
Fred Irwin had famed, Hank
Brenniman singled past short
stop and came all way around on
a long double to left by Wally
Sc%honSchack. Duckert frightened
up at this point and struck out
the following pair of batterS.
Neither team came close to
scoring from the second frame
on, until the first of the sew
ehth. Warren Ray, first Trailer
batter IN this inning, went down
swinging. Don kolp followed
with a liner TO right field which
the Cleaner fielder dropped per-
hitting kolp to reach second
base. Duckert fled to right
field, Kolp taking third after
the catch. Frederick then fan
ned Fleming TO end the game.
Some nifty fielding on the
part of two Super Cleaners
players possibly prevented Gov
cred Wagon from breaking
through for a run or two. With
Duckert on second base and two
away in the fourth inning,
Fleming bounced a hot one
down the third base line. Floyd
Frederick made a back-handed
stop of the grounder and got
Fleming by a step at first base
with a perfect throw.
Glenn latham came up with
two swell PLAYS in succession in
the fifth frame. Redloske lined
one a mile-a-minute out short
stop way. Irish went up and
pulled the sizzler down with his
gloved hand. Vic Browne fol-
lowed with a wicked grounder
which latham juggled momen-
tarily, but tagged the runner
with a swift, accurate throw TO
first.
Brenniman had a perfect
night at the plate with a single
and walk in two tries to lead
both teams in the hitting de-
partment.

Super Cleaners vas still king
Of the Major Softball League
after getting by a tough one
Wednesday in the shape of the
Trailers Of Covered Wagon. The
clash took place in st. Mary'S
Stadium and fans saw Roger
Quinns boys win by the closest
of scores, ! TO O..
From the outset the game was
a pitchers battle between two
men who use the same style Of
delivery. There wasn't much to
choose between either hurler as
they each issued one base on
balls. both were touched for
three safetieS, while Mel Fred
erick. the Super moundSman,
struck out eight Covered Wagon
batters in seven innings and
Henry Duckert famed seven
Cleaners in six frames.
Covered Wagon threatened
first in the top half of the sec
ond stanza, but couldn't bring a
rune around. John Fleming
led off by beating out a bunt,
and went to second on an over
throw at first base in the at
tempt to nip him at the initial
sack. Fleming took a base on
a passed ball. but was stranded
on third as Frederick got Harold

Both Rose Gardens and II. q
s. collected four hitS\but three
of the Lumberjack runs were
gifts. Four errors, three of them
coming at critical times, permit
ted the difference in scores.
Ralph Siewert led off the
second inning for H. & S. by
being safe at second on a mis-
play by the Greenhouse short
stop. He went TO third on a
passed ball and scored as Bcr-
ME Shields was being thrown

In the top half Of the fifth
frame the Rose Gardens ten tied

he continued on to second base.
A stolen base and passed ball
accounted for the tally.
Hubarth G. Schott's final
marker was scored by Bill

and Beardslee scored on the
putout.
Jack Mizafuka, Rose Gardens

the former having the edge in
strikeouts, five to two.
Harry Kunishima was the top
batter for the game, with a per-
feet average. Besides his triple
he collected a single in two trips
to the plate.
Errors also played a big part
in the Cooley-Denmarsh tilt.
Three Of the five runs totaled IN
the contest were the result Of
misplays.
The Morticans handed the
Hotelsmen a score in the first
inning. Ezz Keller was safe on
