Punchless Little
Leaguers Tripped
By Hot Conner 14-0

Buttons Little Leaguers suffered
their seventh loss, 14-0, last Wednes-
day at the hands of slick-fielding
Conner. In the contest played at
Harmon Field, the hosts could garner
only two hits off Corners Tom
Watkins.
Roger Benroth suffered his first de-
feat of the year, as against two vic
tories, as his mates were completely
inept both in the field and at bat. The
first four Conner runs were unearned,
as were seven of the ten that follow
ed. Conner, in contrast with Buttons
eight errors, played errorless ball the
entire game.
Watkins retired the first IL men he
faced before Danny Luginbuhl broke
up his perfect game with a solid
double to right. The only other hit
was a single by Steve Sutermeister
in the sixth, when Bluffton loaded the
bases but failed to score.
Bluffton's record is 2-7, with games
remaining at Cairo, July %, and with
Allentown at home next Wednesday.
Tournament play begins the following
week.

First Mennonite Clings Tightly to Slim
Half Game Lead Over St. Johns E. and r.

First Mennonite blasted out victor
les in their last two games in the
slow-pitch church league to cling to
their precarious position on top of
the pack.
Close on their heels comes St.
Johns E. and r., also victors in their
last two games.
Monday night the Mennonites dis
patched the Presbyterians 21-10,
while st. Johns approached that
score by knocking off Ebenezer 21-9.
Last Friday night saw st. Johns
blasting the Presbyterians while the
Methodist, one-time power in the
church leagues, finally took their
first win of the season, at the expense
of the slumping Ebenezer nine.
The heavy hitting which has car
ried the Mennonites throughout the
season stood them in good stead last
Wednesday as they really tied into
the Methodists 28-13. The other game
saw Presbyterian sneaking past Eb-
enezer 6-2.
Games next week match Ebenezer
and First Mennonite in the opener
Monday evening and st. Johns and
Methodist in the second game.
What could be the climactic match
of the season will feature next We'd
nesday's play, with st. Johns clash
ing with First Mennonite in the first
game of the evening. The second
game of the night will send Presby-
terian against Methodist.
