ChampKERSEY UNLEASHES!AIRTIGHT HURLINGFOR FIRST VICTORYISqAndersons Assemble Hits (1Off Frame To ScoreFour Timesiitlt;The third time proved the charm 8 for Delbert Kersey, pitcher for the f( champion Anderson’s Abattoirs softball teem.Twice previously this season, with Kersey pitching, the Abattoirs j-eIIEhad been beaten by the Lang Chevroletsi the first time by a 4 to 3 count and the second by a 6 to 5 margin in ten-innings After losing two hard luck de-cisions, Kcrs» experienced a change of fo#me Monday night and hurled hia team to a well-de-hserved 4 to victory over the Chevrolets at Cox Field.Kersey was stingy with hits, allowing only six safe blows. The only inning in which Langs became familiar with his fast ball delivery was in the fifth when they scored their two runs Andersons, who have to all in-jatents and purposes virtually tclinched a successful National hLeague title defense, procured ten c hits at the expense of Frame,pitching for the Falcons. tlThey grouped seven of these safe- j rlt; ties in the fourth, fifth and seventh ti rounds, in which innings their runs n were tabulated. tiAfter three and one half scoreless innings, the Abattoirs dug up ti two counters in the fourth on an , — ! error which put Greene on base,I successive singles by Milburn, j Birk and P. Snell and Frame’s i fumble of Wakeley’s grounder, A | double play on A. Snell’s pop fly to Smith at the expense of Dick ; Birk, who raced home from third,I thinking two were out, retired the side.The Chevrolets got these two runs back in the fifth. With one down Frame was safe on an error, took second on Bell’s out at first and scored on Fuller’s hit. A perfect. throw to the plate was made but Milburn dropped the ball after ; tagging the runner. A hit by Glass scored Fuller. iThe tie did not exist for long.In the last of the fifth Kersey's1™single and a double to left by Joe C Zenni scored what proved to be ; I the winning run. But the Abattoirs C added another in the seventh on lt;Wakeley’s hit, a passed ball, and a drive by A Snell which went for hi a triple when Fuller failed to make N a long and accurate peg to the hi plate from deep center, nipping le Snell in his attempt to complete 'the circuit. piThe Chevrolets did not threaten tl seriously in the last four innings, tc Finlay led off with a hit in the 4f sixth but was doubled at second w after A. Snell had caught Pairett’s tu fly. In the ninth Smith, first bat- di ter, reached second on an error. He ti got no farther as Finlay and Ruse foraised pop flies and Parrett fanned.The triumph squared the sea- in son’s series between Langs and the j. Abattoirs. Each team has defeated the other once. 0(Dick Birk and Tim Wakeley were fa the leading hitters for the champs, yteach contributing two singles. Ful ler got two of the six Lang hits.Xenia Hatchery and Hooven and jhj Allison Co will meet in another National League contest Wednesday night. ajLang Chev. A B. R. H. PO. A. E.
