Mayo started the third with
hit and Chuch Hostetler sac
rificed him to second. York's
grounder to third went for two
bases and Mayo scored. Higgins
then drove York home.
But Roy Henshaw, making
his first start after giving up his
war plant job to rejoin the

advantage and Johnny Corsica,
who replaced him, did little
better.

big fourth for the AS with a
single and scored on Frank
Hayes double. Hayes went 20
third on Bill McGhee's single
and came home on a single by
Joe Burns. Two more singles
followed and the score was
knotted. Corsica, who entered
the game with only one out in
the fourth, was charged with
the loss.
The Athletics added two in
the fifth when Cramer mis-
judged Hal Epps' fly, which
went for two bases. Hayes trip

game with. all the upsets and
thrills possible.
Dickinson playground took
the championship 6 to 5, after a
tWo-run rally in the seventh set
them out in front.
A fielder's error in the vital
seventh gave Dickinson the
game. Ken Rowland and Bob
Siewert were on first and sec
ond when captain Joe Rivard
hit a short fly into left field.
The day would have been saved
for Donaldson if the fielder had
not froze on to the ball. A quick
throw TO home plate might have
stopped the rally.
The game was anybody's right
up to the seventh inning field
ing error. Donaldson scored its
first two runs on an error by
Pitcher Rivard in a throw to
centerfield with two men on.
Dickinson had tied the score by
the end of the third, and in the
fourth Dickinson had added two
more markers. Donaldson was
enjoying a two-run lead in the
sixth. Poor fielding by Donald
son cost them the game. The

10TH MOUND VICTORY
OF SEASON"
=. and so on.
Needless to say, the people
who showed US the headlines
with action pictures of the ace,
too) were mighty proud of the
record. They were Mr.. and Mrs.
Russell Bliss. of l01 Miller
street, and Lyle, now age 10,
is fast carving a niche in the
hall of fame, under the watch
full eye of the Detroit Tigers
Baseball Club.
Another person who will be
proud of the Bliss record is
Lieut.. (JG) Ernest Buckholz,
U.S.N.R., who as coach at Mount
Clemens High School helped
Bliss develop into a four-letter
man in baseball, football. bas-
ketball and swimming.
In another game described in
the same jamestown paper Bliss
hit home run, two doubles and
single in four trips to the
plate.
His fast curve ball and blaz-
ing bat made it a one-man vic
tory" for the jamestown Fal-
cons, the sports scribe said of
a game with the Wellsville
Yanks.
Bliss, the story under the big
headlines relates:
Held the Lockport- Cubs to
six hits; scored three of James
towns six runs; was credited
with four assists. and scores the
run, two doubles and single.
Bliss has been with the James
town team, Tiger farm, since
Spring, and expects to be as
signed to Buffalo next year, a
club which has farm arrange
ment with the Tigers.
No better gauge of the pro-
greSs made by Bliss in the
Jamestown can be offered than
the first few paragraphs Of the
lead story the jamestown sports
editor gave the former MCHS
athlete. Under the heavy head
lines, ii read:

ace and leading pitcher of the
