HOMERS AFTER | "i WALKS COSTLY | TO SKINNERS Legion fought into a three way | tie for first place in the Inter "AA" loop last night at Bathe Park, when they dumped the hitherto unbeaten Skinners team 13-4. Skinners, Legion and Duplate now are in a tight clan, all groping for first place, while | United Taxi are all but buried | {in the cellar. Zakarow was the pitcher for! Legion all the way, and he didn't | have the trouble that was ex-| Skinners' big! He allowed six hits and | let in but four runs. 1 Maga also went the route on the mound for Skinners, but his six-hit pitching just didn't have the effectiveness of that of his { opponents due in the main to the fact that three of his six hits | were home run blows. Maga had six strikeouts and eight walks, while Zakarow had nine k.o.'s, and six walks, Legion started with all the power they had in the top of the first innings--and banged in four runs to really set a hot pace. Two walks and an error set the stage for a bases-loaded-circuit blast off the bat of Bob Dionne. He made no mistake with his blow, and it made the score 4-0 for the Legion: Skinners were not a little stun- ned at this turn of events, but they recovered sufficiently to tally one run in the last of the inning on Kuch's rousing double to centre, and an errored bingle from Latt's bat. Legion made it 6-1 in the top of |the second on a two-run rally as {Rube Waddel clouted the second homer of the game, with a mate spot picked by Dionne. Skinners were getting better and better in the last of that inning, ahd made the score 6-3. | Cairness and Andrews scored, when Kuch hit a bobbled ball at third base, and was safe at first. That ended the scoring till the | seventh when Legion again broke | out, and this time enough runs to { sew up the game for good. {~ Two errors, singles by Smegal | and Menaul, and a double by | Waddel were the blows that let in four runs. The last of the | eighth saw Skinners put another singleton to their total, on a triple by O'Reilly, but this was quickly answered to by the Legion, in the top of the ninth, they dropped three more Total, for DusSday] nied bats. | when runs. Weatherup clouted the third homer of the game for Legion, this time with two men on base, | and that ended.the game at 13-4. For Skinners in their losing cause, Kuch with a three-for-five was top batsman, with O'Reilly's triple providing some cheering from another part of the lineup. R.H.E.
