Sandlof Play Will Continue

By BERNARD HARMON

With only four survivors left in the annual city amateur baseball tournament that opened Aug. 24 with a field of 14, tomorrow's games may deplete those ranks to a pair. De Wolf News, which meets Kingan Reliable in the first game of a double-header at Victory field, has lost one game in the doubleeliminations. Allison's, slated against Leonard Cleaner in the

suffered one setback. The Reliables, who won the 1945 title, have waded through four

opponents without a “defeat, while De Wolf won two of its three games, drawing a bye last Sunday. The two aggregations broke even

r 3-1 and 6-5 in or "leaguers, while’ Kingan_ triumphed 3-2 and 11-3 in Municipal tilts. So tomorrow’s contest will: really be a grudge affair and, without doubt, a bdttle of veteran pitchers. Ready for Duty Bob "Adler and Raleigh Miller are ready for De Wolf duty, while the Meatmen have Lefty Al McGill and Eddie Marcum prepared to toe the rubber, It's do or die for Manager Bob Elliott's Newsmen, who until last Sunday, when they lost to the Eagles, have been playing a bangup late-season game, Allison’s, who. have been established as the tourney’'s darkhorse following their surprise victory that ousted the defending champion P.
