Strand Keeps Half Title Hopes Alive with 3-0 Win
The Strand shut out the VFW 3-0 to secure at least a tie for the Little League first half title. It was Strand’s sixth straight win, while VFW dropped to a fourth defeat. Pitcher Carl Rutherford allowed three singles, while Mike Harrison of the VFW yielded one hit but endured wild throws and walks. Strand tallied in the third and later frames, aided by stolen-base miscues and timely hits. The Strand face the Moose next, aiming to clinch the first half.

Billy Pierce Sways Luck With 20-Game Pace For Sox Pitcher
Walter William Pierce known as Billy has long been a top left handed pitcher for the White Sox, yet fortune kept him from 20 wins. Now at 29 and in his 10th major league year he leads the American League with 10 wins and shows a path to finally reaching 20 games. Pierce, a Detroit native scouted by Wish Egan, rose from Buffalo to the Tigers before being traded for Aaron Robinson and settling as a White Sox ace through 1956. The record suggests a breakout season after years of near-misses and one-run losses to the Yanks and Indians.
