IOOF Wins in
Batting Spree

Scores ran high in city soft
ball games last night and the
Junior League tilt was no ex-
ception. Undoubtedly hampered
By football weather, both
LOOT. and Terrace Gardens
had difficulty with their throws
and general handling of the
ball and when 1t was all over
the Lodgemen had l3 runs and
the Gardeners Z.
In two different innings, Grit
fifth Field was the scene OF
some weird softball. In the
first of the second frame,
IO.O.F. put together six hits,
two walks and two Terrace Gar
dens errors to tally eight times.
A triple by Pete Carlos and a
two Dagger by Floyd Zoelllng
highlighted the attack.
Undaunted by the eight-run
margin Of 100 F., Terrace
Gardens staged rally all It's
own in the last of the fourth.
Ten men went plateWard and
six runs resulted. Four errors,
a play in which interference
was called on the l % OF.
catcher and singles by Donald
Strumpfer and Gary Lozon ac-
counted for the rally.
That was as close as Terrace
Gardens came to the 10. % F
score. Only one other marker
was allowed the Terracemen by
Lodge Pitcher Bill Middleton,
that coming in the last stanza
Three misplays permitted the
score.
THREE DOUBLES
Meanwhile the Lodgemen
kept pecking away at Claude
Meldrum's offerings and added
one run TO their total in the
fifth, two in the sixth and an
other brace of counters in the
seventh. Doubles by Jack Moore
James Miller and Marvin Thoel
were the most potent blows
hammered out in the last three
innings by LOOT.
Although five LOOT. bat.
ters had two hits TO their credit,
Thoel had the best average with
single and double in three
plate appearances. Middleton
scattered five Terrace Gardens
safeties among as many players
with Bill Bowling and Strump-
fer having one for three to pace
their teammates.
Three swell catches OF fly
balls took place during the en-
counter. Leftfielder Gary Lozon
Of Terrace Gardens made two
Of them. He took Zoellings
drive for the third out in the
third inning and duplicated tina,
feat in the fourth when Jack
Moore sent a long one out left
field way. Skip Frederick, cen.
terfielder for LOOT, came
up with the other gem. He made
