Klenks Victor In Fed Contest; Enter Play-Offs

A home-run ball smacked by Whitby Andrews and which might etill be sailing through the airnear Omaha, sent McComb Construction baseball team to the m6th balls until next season and moved Ft rd Klenk's federation entry into I the final playoffs with Rockford, O. Legion team by a 2-1 count at Wortlunan field last night as several hundred fans saw the best . game of the loeal season. y Th£ fellow who wrote "dasey At The Bat", should have been here last riight. His poem would have had a much better ending for the local team. For five innings, the blue of the ocean had nothing on the blue on the Klenk bench. McCombs had gone into a first inping 1-0 lead and the Decaur hitters had been hamstrung at bat. getting only a couple of men on base, one with a single and one via the error route. \ Then started the unadvertised “Whitey Andrews" night. The de-luxe-sized catcher stepped to the plate, with a man on base anti two out. Andrews let a couple balls go by and struck at a couple of others. It was geeting late and the sixth inning was about to be written into the records. -The ball sailed toward the plate and two hundred and some pounds of Andrews waved the bat toward the ball. The little white article was still rising when last seen crossing 13th street and everyone of the some 700 fans stood up. A reception line was formed, headed at third base by owner Klenk and ending with I the bat boy at home plate and Andrews came home all smiles with the last counter of the contest. Ellenberger, Decatur pitcher, after a shaky first inning, settled down and outpitched his opponent, Meyer and Wagner, who relieved: him tn the seventh. Decatur got 7 hits against two for the visitors. Ellenberger allowed seven walks. The big series for the title opens here at'Worthman field Thursday night against Rockford, O. Legion i entry. The first game is .scheduled at 8 o'clock and the series will be I best of five and winner will be federation champion.

No other National Leaguer can match Spahn this year, but Feller's Cleveland teammate Bob Lemon is just two victories shy of joining the select group.

The Giants set the pace in the only afternoon game, beating Chicago. 5 to 1; Brooklyn kept four games behind by pounding Cincinnati, 12 to 4, with the aid of four homers, and Pittsburgh nipped St. Louis, 8 to 7, as the Pirates hefted three hoiners. The New York Yankees moved to within 4‘A games of American League frontrunner. Cleveland, when the Yanks handed Baltimore its 13th straight loss, 9 to 2, and the Philadelphia Athletics surprised the Indians, 4 to 1. Detroit broke a virtual tie for fourth place with Boston by besting the Red Sox. 8 to 7, and Jack Harshman pitched Chicago to a 4 to 0 win over Washington. Ruben Goniez gave up six hits over the distance and Willie Mays banged out a pair of triples and a double to pace the Giants to their seventh straight triumph.

The Reds' Jim Greengrass belted his 24th homer. Don Newcombe failed for the 16th straight time to finish for the Brooks as Clem Labine relieved him in the third. The Pirates gave Haddix his 10th defeat in 25 verdicts as the backed Dick Littlefield with an attack that included homeruns by Jack Shepard, Frank Thomas and Sid Gordon-number 20 for Thomas.
