It looked like the Indians had yesterday's first game salted away when’ they ‘held a 5-to-0 lead after seven Innings. But the sky fell in on big Paul Derringer in the eighth and the Saints rallied for four runs on three singles and a home run by Eric Tipton.

Tipton, who was a member of the A. A. All-Stars, belted’ his homer with two on. The former Duke university all-around sports star bats right handed but this stance didn't prevent him from walloping a round-tripper over the right field wall off right hander Derringer. High Fly Falls Safe The Saints deadlocked the game at 5-all by tallying one marker in the ninth. ‘After two down and none on, Eddie Basinski hit a high fly to right and Joe Bestudik misjudged it when it looked like a sure game-ending out. ‘But it fell for a triple, the fans booed Bestu-
