mond, while Covered Wagon

at St Mary's Stadium, 10 to |.
DenmarSh built up a to l
lead during the first five inn
ings, but Pryde put on couple
of rallies, one in the sixth and
the other in the seventh TO
threaten the Denmarsh advan-
lage. The winners were outhit
10 to 7.

Bernard Ballantine'S single and
two wild pitches gave Denmarsh

ed four more to their total in
the third. Four bases on balls
and singles by Brindley and
Winnie Hazard gave the Hotel
team their scores,

pitch and a one-bagger by Basil
Williams.
TOOLMEN RALLY
Denmarsh manufactured their
last two runs in the fifth on
Ballantine's single, a sacrifice,
Emil Colo's double, an infield
out and a wild pitch. At this
point the Pryde Tool e. Die at
tack began to function. With
one away Ed Kuss tripled and
when an error was made on
Jack Craze's grounder, Kuss
scored. Craze made second on
the play, but was tagged out
trying for third. SieWert was
safe on an error and Williams

out a triple, bringing in the
two base runners. Craze ended
the game, however, by ground
ing to third base.
Howard Peabody went the
route for Denmarsh and pitched
a good game until he weakened
in the sixth and seventh. Cor
don Belleau was wild during the
early stages Of the fray and it
contributed mainly to the Den

bases on balls.
