Before he was finished he had amassed 61 earned points and had Sabin so bewildered that the Nevadan was giving hime self loud fight taiks to the amuse« ment of the crowd. Sabin's self abuse, however, was unable to stem the tide. Miss Betz, who previously had won the 1041 eastern clay courts and national indoors titles, had a much more difficult task.

They collected 13 hits and 10 runs in the seven-inning nighte cap and Starr needed that kind of support to win. The score was 10 to 5. Ray was wild and the Saints still were blasting at him in the last inning, chalking four'hits and two runs in that round before he put on the brakes, In the seven stanzas he walked five, hit one and allowed seven blows, including a double and triple. But the Indians were not to he denied and they pounded the pill hard and timely and forced the Saints to use three pitchers, Joe Bestudik lined out an inside-the-park home run and Al Lakeman and Eddie Shokes hammered doubles. A four-run splurge in the first frame and a three-run rally in the second sort of cooled off the visitors. The Apostles won the first vilt, 3 to 0, behind the six-hit pitching of Ken Raffensberger, southpaw, He had something on the ball and retired the Indians in 1-2-3 order in five of the nine innings. George Gill, Tribe right-hander, was no soft touch, but he couldn’t win without runs and the Saints score one marker in the fifth and two in the eighth, In the Saturday night game Bill Cox was in rare form, held the Saints to four hits and blanked them, 2 to 0.

Since 1870 when the first casks of Wiedemann's Fine Beers were brewed almost within sight of the showboat landing at Newport, Kentucky, Wiedemann's Beer has gone out to inland America, adding to the joys of living. Its character and fine flavor are as wholesome and as traditionally American as the river shows...its mellow goodness has brought pleasure to four generations. It has “the taste you remember with pleasure.”
