The Major Softball Leagues
playoff series is being played
this season by quartet of clubs
all striving for the high honor
of city champion. OF the four
contenders, two of them appear
to want to wage a private Sc
ries all their own.
Denmarsh Hotel and Hubarth
G. Schott engaged in little set
to at st. Mary's Stadium Tues
day evening and at the conclus-
ion of nine innings of play moth
ing had been accomplished, For
the second time in the league
finals the two teams finished in
a deadlock. The score Tuesday
was % while a week ago each
club garnered three markers.
SO tonight. instead of a tilt
between the losers of Mondays
and Tuesdays encounters, as
was previously scheduled, the
Hotelmen and Lumberjacks will
again head for the Stadium and
have another 60 at each other.
While all this might be to the
liking of H. & S., Denmarsh
and the fans, the Recreation De-
partment hopes a decision will
be reached in the near future,
as a 5 o'clock starting time will
be needed soon to make sure
inning game can be COM
pleted.
TABLES REVERSED
Tuesdays contest was nearly
a direct opposite of the one
played a week ago. In the first
battle, H. & S. grabbed an
early lead only to see Denmarsh
come from behind and even
things up. The latter engagement
had the Hotel club in the lead
for four frames, but before the
fifth was over, Lawson Boards
lees charges pushed a pair of
runs across the plate to tie the
score and il remained knotted
until darkness halted play. Den
marsh garnered seven safeties to
five for H. & S. in the game a
week ago, while the tables were
reversed Tuesday, Hubarth &
Schott getting seven and the Ho-
telmen five.
Following an uneventful first
inning for Denmarsh, the Lum-
bermen started out as though |
they were going to put the game
on ice the first thing. Marvin
Duckert led off with a single
TO center and Louie Trombley
beat out bunt to put men on
first and second. Bill Beardslee
followed with grounder to |
third base which resulted in a
force play on Duckert. Seconds |
later the outlook was really dark
for the Denmarshers as Pete Hell
ger was safe at first on an error
to fill the sacks. Lady Luck rode |
with DenmarSh at the moment, |
as a snap throw from |
Catcher Emil Colo to Third |
Baserflan Bernard Ballantine
picked off Trombley, who had
taken too big a lead, and a put
out resulted. Harry Albrecht
ended the inning by lining out
to short center field.
ONLY THREAT
The second stanZa was a pro-
fitable one for the green-clad
outfit as its two runs were man.

game and it was also the only
time the club threatened scri-
ously. A base on balls to Vim
ME Hazard started the inning
off and Colo grounded out, first
unassisted, Hazard pulling up
at second. After the next man
had popped to third, Bill Du-
Bay singled to send Hazard to
third. DuBay then stole second
and Howard Peabody Topped a
double to right field to bring
in the two scores. A grounder to
shortstop by Mary Leggett end
ed the rally.

in the fourth frame. With one

third on Helzer's two-bagger.
Albrecht also drew pass to
fill the bases but Pat Parker
went out on an infield fly and
Don Trombley forced Heller at
third base for the third out.
BREAK LOOSE
The Lumbermen finally ceas-
ed to just threaten as they broke
loose in the fifth TO get their
two game-tying markers. Jerry
