Team Wins Early Lead In Church League Three-Kame Series PLAY AGAIN TONIGHT A hard-hitting United Brethren aoftball team, stung with the defeat earlier in the week, came back last night to win the first game of th* championship series from St, Mary’s to the tune of 12 to 5. in their game at the South Ward diamond. Finding the slants of Murphy, St. Marys pitcher an open book, the U B. outfit started out with a vengeance in the first inning, scoring for runs Lafore the smoke cleared. V. Hilf, for U. B. opened the game with a home run. R. Hill followed with a single. V Andrews cracked out a double, which coupled with two errore accounted for the Trig first. St. Mary’s went down one. two three in their half. In the second inning. D. Hess singled. That wan all the action, un-1 til U. B. again opened up. A single by R. Hill, a walk .a double by Jackson. a double by Wynn, and an error accounted for three more runs. St. Mary’s scored their first run | of the game in the third on a walk and a single by Daniels. U.

A belated rally staged by St. Marya in their last time at bat afforded the last bit of action, but no damage resulted. A double by H. Baker, singles .by Mylott, C. Omlor and Coffee, in straight order coupled with a walk pushed across four runs for the Catholic boys, before the side was retired. Wynn pitched a nice game for the U. B. team, allowing but seven hits to rival batsmen, four of these com-

TEAM AVERAGES ARE COMPARED Score-keeper Strickler’s Books Reveal Interesting Figures Following is a comparison of the j Decatur Castings and General Electric softball teams in their games against each other during the year. Castings, according to the record has a little edge on the G. E.. having committed seveh less errors, and made eight more hits. They have, however been outscored by five runs. A summary of the three games, including Wednesday night’s: General Electric AB R H E First Game 33 2 7 6 Second Game 31 4 4 4, Third Game 35 11 10 5 TOTALS 99 17 21 15 Castings First Game 31 4 14 4 Second Game 30 1 6 11 Third Game 37 7 9 3| TOTALS 99 12 29 || The seasons average shows that , the General Electric has been hit- i ting at a faster clip than the foun- j dry men. with a team average of .225. 15 points better than the .210 average of the Castings. The Cast-1 ings team, however has maria 15 j less errors than their opponents. ■ Castings committed 24 errors in seven games. G. E. made 39 in eight games. The uneven number of games was caused by a forfeit. | Summary of the season's play against all opponents: General Electric AB R H Ave. E 304 83 78 .225 39 Decatur Castings 238 53 62 .210 24 The above figures were taken from the book of Harold Strickler, official scorer for the softball games. o GOAL KICKERS FORM OFFENSE Bierman Plans Strategy For All-star Game Against Detroit Evanston, 111., Aug. 28—< (U.R) — Bernie Bierman trotted out his field goal kickers tod«v to wip° out the scoring advantage gained by the Detroit Lions when they succeeded in planting the goal posts on the goal lines for the third all-star game in Soldier Field Tuesday night. It was the one major rnle change demanded by the world professional champions. But for a minor variation of the dead: ball rule, the game will be governed by the intercollegiate football code. Although he fought for strict interpretation of the college rules, Bierman annarently wea satisfied with the stormy conference yesterday and planned to retaliate with a pair of kickers to match : Detroit’s famous dropkicker, Earl (Dutch) Clark, and its placement star. Glenn Presnell. Marty Peters, of Notre Dame, whose last minute field goal whipped Pittsburgh. 9 to 6, last fall, and Babe Levoir. Minnesota, were being groomed for tre now important field goal assignment. Also from the rules conference jheld by Bierman, Bo McMillin and Elmer Layden of the All-Stars. Coach Potsy Clark of the Lions and Arch Ward, managing director of the spectacle, came a revived deal ball ruling that will permit a ball carrier who falls in the ( open field to regain his feet and j continue toward the goal. The college code declares the

1 ball dead if any part of the runner’s laxly, other than his feet or i hands, touches the ground. The l conferees added, however, that if ! the ball carrier falls in scrimmage I the referee must declare the ball out of play al the point of conI tact with the turf. Skull Practice Bierman said today the squad would spend the remaining days of training in the classroom and perfecting a defense for tre deadi ly Detroit attack that baffled the national professional football league all last season. “We’ve had our last scrimmage" said Bierman. “The eleven men elected to start the gajne proved again in Wednesday's scrimmage they deserved the honor and each is in perfect condition. Well spend the rest of the time trying to find away to keep the other fellows from scoring.” Keith Topping, Stanford end who was shipped to the infirmary for treatment of an infected cut, was back BE practice today. His return pleased the Minnesota coach since the alltttar defense will rely on aggressive ends to halt tre wide sweeps and delayed pass formations of the Lions. Topping was considered chiefly responsible for spilling Southern Methodist's great aeriaj bombardment in the 1936 Rose Bowl game. Potsy Clark joined the Lions at Bloomfield Hills. Mich., immediately after the rules conference. The pro champions will remain there until two days before the game when they will come to Chicago for one drill under the floodlights in the lake front ampitheater. ° STANDINGS' NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct.

CUBS MAY WIN LEAGUE RACE Chicago Team Is Dangerous Threat To Giants’ Three-game Lead New York, Aug. 28 (U.R) The Giants are up and the Cardinals are down but what about the Cubs? Much has been written about New York’s spurt to the top and about the collapse of St. Louis, but little has been said about Charley Grimm’s Chicago National league champs. Although tied with the cards for second place, three games beneath the Giants, the Chicago Cubs have been quietly gathering momentum for another stretch drive such as last year's 21-game, record break ing winning streak that carried them into the world series. Shaking off the losing streak that cost them 8 of 12 games, and the league lead, Grimm’s elouters have won their last five straight. In that quintet of victories, Cub hurlers have gone the distance in each case, allowing a total of only seven runs. The Cubs gave Indications of championship caliber in mid-seas-on when they collected 16 consecutive victories with an amazing demonstration of pitching strength in which Grimm was rotating five starting hurlers like clockwork. It was a repetition of last year’s 21 straight victories with the exception that Curt Davis, who was picked up from the Philadelphia Phillies. was chalking up victories along with Lon Warneke, Larry French, Charley Root and Tex Carleton. Davis, however, has been out of the game since Aug. 9 with a badly sprained wrist, and probably will do no more pitching until the Cubs take the road Sept. 4. But Grimm gave Roy Henshaw a chance to become Davis’ successor in the big five against the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday and the 25-year-old southpaw came through in fine style. He gave up only six hits as the Cubs won. 1 to 0. The victory put the Cubs on an even footing with the Cards, who were victims of another 1 to 0 decision—their fifth straight defeat and their fourth to the Boston Bees. !>>Roy Parmelee, who pitched three hit balls, allowed a triple and a single in the 10th inning as Danny MacFayden emerged victor in the duel. The Giants, who were gunning • for their 15th consecutive victory, were rained out in Cincinnati, and
