SOFTBALL GAME8 Professionals Defeat Redfearn Motors Tho i'roftissionals raised their perj rentage to a tie for third place by de' featllig the Hedfearu Motors, 10 to 0, ! In a well-played name Thursday evening Funderburk was on the mouud for the Professionals and pitched hi* usual heudy game, not loslug control of the situation at uny time. Jack Smith started the hurlinK for the Motors and In view of the fact that It was his Itrst effort on the mound, did himself proud. lie vvus followed hy Gaskius who uftor a brief spell of wlhlness settled down and pit< hed good ball. S) DeLoache In Big Win liia DeLoache led her fair maidens of the Lsso girl's to a 22 to ti victory over the Gertrude Zemp gazelles In a Girl's Twilight league game last I week. It was a veritable romp for the UeLoache team and in the first inning j they run tin- buses until they were dizzy, amassing 1} big counters. Two i more came in the third and six In the ; fifth. The Zoinp team annexed a run in the lirst round, three in the second and two in lite fifth. Meyers did tin; pitching for the LieLouche team and Goodman was back of the bat. JieLouch was on the hurling mound for the Zemp team, while ' Flowers did the cutchlng. Cubs Win Double-header Judge "Wuz'/y" Jenkins catapulted his gang of supreme court justices, into first. place in the Twilight league hy ttikuig holh games of a double bill Ft Iday evening, the first game being won from the Kershaw Guards i/i a surprising upset, by a 11 to 1 count and the second in a hectic spectacle over the lowly Redfeani Motors, by a 17 to lu count. The last game was called by Cmpire Lightfoot at ; the end of the sixth inning because of darkness. The Guz/.y Wuzzy outfit crawled all over the slants of Chuck Itussell in the first game and pounded out nineteen Juicy wallops, eight of them coining in the fourth round when seven runners scored. On the other hand YVooten, on the turret top for the Cubs held the Guards helpless, yielding only live hits. In the second game both teams played miserable ball.. It started out to look like a thriller as the first six Motor batters went down in order, in two frames, and the first four of the Cubs never saw the lirst sack. Hut in the second inning with two down the Cubs went on a batting rampage, getting five hits for four runs. The Motors became saucy in the third and swatted the ball ail j over the lot until Skipper Wuzzy who was on tiie hill looked green around] ] the gills. Six runners scored before i the Motors were retired. Hack camel j the Cubs to pin four runs home in] the third and take the lead again. Hut the Motors became another bombardment of the slants of Wuzzy und four scores resulted. That ended the scoring for the Motors, but not for the j Cubs w ho blasted six runners over and then added three more in the gathering gloom of the sixth frame. Wolves Win A masterful hurling exhibition in which he yielded but two hits enabled (. larkson Rhame to lead his prairie pack ot Coyotes to a 7 to 0 victory over the Rex Hillfard team in an abbreviated fracas in the Twilight league Monday evening. Outside ot one inning when the Rex team literally tossed the game into ! the laps of the Wolf pack, the came j was one of the fastest and most sensational gllmiiH'd on the clay court this season. ( arl Lightfoot, the only surviving member of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, did the turret work for the Hlllard hoys and but for some woozy infield support would have i turned in a historic slinging record. For two rounds the Wolf pack failed to dent Carl's record and only one runner reached the lirst sack, that being due to an infield error. In the third the Wolvps couuted a lone tally through an furor linked with three singles. 1 he real explosion came in the tourth when the Rex infield literally went haywire and of six runs that i ( nine in, hut two were earned. Staley lifted a lazy drive over second that I the outfield went to sleep on. K. I \\ ooten flew out to short cent?-r. Zan| tier ('larkson drew four wide ones. , Kirkland singled to right ami Jack Hailo planted one almost in the same spot. Rhame drove a grounder to Irby who instead of tagging the runner coining from third, ran a foot race to the sack and lost. Hruce pasted another easy roller to third and Irby repeated on the foot race idea and'lost again. Jack Nettles batted for brother Hilly and singled John Villepigue was safe on an error but F. Wooten ended the agony by poling out to short. 1 he nearest the Rex came to scoring was in the first frame when after Hranham and Irby had fanned, Lightfoot waited for a walk, went to third on Small's single and when Gregory walked the sacks were filled Rhame showed his stuff when ho fanned ShlrRhatne fanned seven Hillard boys while none of the Wolves succumbed via the strikeout route. The game came to a close just after the Hillards had concluded their half of the fifth inning. Rain which fell with the violence ot a veritable cloudburst sent .players and spectators hurrying to cats and other shelters. 1 he game goes as a victory for the W olves w ho are again battling for the pennant in tin- first half of this close nnd exciting baseball classic Rhame Wins Another dU Frank H Heath) I hat old maestro of the turret top, ("larkson "Chubby" Rhame was at his best Wednesday evening, yielding but two lonely biugles across the pan to give Doug Hoy kin's "personally selected a victory over a "loft-over" group of sandlotters, by a 3 to 1 score Outside of the chubby heaver out on the hill, there was little to choose between the teams "Nolsv" Havnes ' doing the sharpshooting for the Rem 1 nants gave up ten hits, but In only o two rounds did the alleged Stan V bunch any.
