The Porcupine Combines last night took a much firmer hold 0 ~ the top rung of the.T.B.L. ladder as. hey eak-' ed out an 8-6 win over t e secondi place Hollinger crew. Alt ough the game i saw the’ Combines c me from behind a 4-1 count in the s venth in- ning. and score 5 runs it was! generally dull throug'hout and didn’t} have too‘ much crowd appeal. Fleet Sammy Monteleon was the hero of; the Com- bine’ s victSry as he parked the ap- ple out of the yard in the seventh dinning uprising with a tbsounding four-bugger over the right- -field wall, scoring Gunnar Telkinnen ahead of him and setting the stage foi the pay- off punches which followed later in the inning which K. 0. ’d Cliff Varin the Holly starter and snatched the victory for the back-roaders. Mdnteleone’s mighty slam was the second round- trippei of the season Johnny Bran- dreth of the Bombers banging out the first one a couple of weeks ago. The Bombers started out as though they were going to waltz away with the contest as they baggedfino fewer than four runs before theéside was retired in the initial inning. Roy‘ McKay lit the fireworks as: he drew1 a walk from the Combine hfig'ler, Bus- sieré and went all them to third as R‘a‘y‘I-Iannigan hih'a‘ééfe‘ er» the first base line. Tphy Belmonte then drew a pass, filling thé bases. 'Gus Gustavson promptly scored two runners with his infield hit and Del- monte crossed the platter with the third run as he and Gustavson pulled off a double steal. Gustavson went to third on an infield out and scored |a€ Larmer dropped a bunt-“for a suc- cessful squeeze play.“ Those four runs looked as big as a mountain un- til the fatal seventh when the sky 'fell in on Cliff Varin.

Monteleonx homered, McLellan 'singled, Everett lashes out a single to centre, and Bill Tennant gave the Combines their first taste of the lead as he singled scar- ing McLellan and Everett wit'h' thr tying and winning marker. That wasn't all though as Pete Babandc 'got 'into the show by slugging out I . mammoth’ triple to right, scoring Ten- nant. After that outburst; it lookef to'l‘e in the bag but the Bomberw wculdn’t stay beaten and struck back for two more in theninth to make the final count 8-6. A walk to Ray Han- nigan and hit by Tony Delmonte anr‘ Gustavson were good for. two but not enough to make the big dicerence.
