Hi MAYFAIR LANES OUST LEGIONNAIRES - By Jack Sords Robson Leather Tannery Grabs Off First Win In __ Inter. "A" Final Series Hiller Hurls Leathermen To Well-Earned 3-1 Victory As Title Round Gets Un- der Way--Costly Errors Figure In Scoring of Every Run In Game -- Second of 5-Game Series Booked For Fri- ' day Evening Robson Leather won a very close game over Mayfair Lanes up in Alexandra Park last night 3-1 to draw first blood in the City and District Softball Inter, "A" League finals, It is a three-out-of-five ser- fes so that means that the Tannery now has a distinct advantage, Sec- ond game of the series will be play- ed on Friday night. "Al" McKee was on the mound for Mayfairs and he did a very creditable job as he claimed five strikeouts while "Dutch" Hiller the Tannery pitcher got eight for a little better work, McKee allowed two bases on balls while again Hiller came out the better with ex- actly none. The only thing that Hiller might be a bit sorry for was the two-base hit Wes. Keeler bingled into center field that brought in Mayfair's only run but they did have other chances, Tight Defensive Play Both teams were about equal de- fensiyely and both had three errors tallied against them, The errors that the Mayfairs had chalked up against them were very costly™as they allowed in every run that the Tannery had and thus no earned runs were scored at all, by either team, The Tannery started things go- in the last of the third when Hiller got a hit that went weakly for a safety down the first base line, Reigle laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt on his third strike to push Hiller to second. Branton slashed one at McKee, the opposing pitcher that went for a safety and shoved Hiller around to third, Stark then laid down a very good bunt that he would have beaten out anyway but the pitcher made a fumble on the play. Hiller came home on the play and was almost put out on a surprise move by the Mayfair team, McKee then looked much better as he struck out Dave Gilbert. Cooper then flied out to the right fielder and that ended things for Tannery in their half of the third, In the top of the fourth the May- 'fair Lanes club made a determined bid as Bathe singled nicely to right field. Barker then hit an errored ball to the pitcher and sent Bathe to second. en Alf, Hiller showed how to get out of a hole by calmly setting down Walker, McLaughlin and Kewin on strikes to end the inning and a nice try by Mayfair Lanes, ' Again in the top of the fifth the Bowlers showed their stuff and with one out Turner blasted one to the shortstop that was fumbled there and allowed him to get to first in safety, Greene popped out to the shortstop and Turner got to second on a passed ball, Wes. Keeler then came up with the best hit of the @ame as, he bingled one out into centre fleld that went for a double and scored Turner easily on the , Bathe went down third-to- and ended the scoring for the daria and left the score at a - n Leather soon changed matters though as they came back in the last of that inning to score two runs on errors and take the lead in the game, Branton ground- ed out to third and then Stark got to first on fortunate single. Gilbert then got to first base on the third baseman's error, Stark going to sec- ond on the play, Both men ade vanced on a pitch that got away from catcher Walker of the May- fairs. McKee set down his oppos- ing catcher Cooper on strikes but then Price got a mice single to left field that scored Stark. Gilbert slid in to the plate and on this continu- ous action Price went unnoticed and he came into third base easily. McLaughlin ended the inning when he grounded out to the first base man, Mayfair Lanes went down one, two, three in the top of the sixth and a similar occurrer-e took place in the, last half of that frame when all three batters went down on put outs from second-to-first. The Tannery seemed to have an edge and they tried to help it in the last of the seventh, Branton got to first base on four consecutive d ones, the first walk issued by either pitcher in the ball game this far, Stark hit one at the pitcher that was good for one base and so pushed Branton down to second, Gilbert was the next man to the plate in that inning and he hit into a flelder's cholce that put Branton out at third, Cooper struck out and fee: went down second to first, thus ending play in the seventh, Mayfair es made a spirited attempt at a rally in their half of the ninth but it was no go. Walker Was But gut at first base on 4 nice play Stark at second. Then Me- ughlin flied out to Gilbert at shortstop and to end things Hiller made Kewin his eighth strikeout. Mayfair Lanes lost out on many chances at the plate when even a bunt would have gone well, but thelr t mistake was the hob. bles that crept into their play just at the wrong time to count runs against them. Johnny Bathe was the t man in the batter's box with his three hits in four trips to the plate, for Mayfalrs, Then there was Wes. Keeler's big double in the top of the firth. Price and Stark both had "two-for-four" averages but Price drove in two runs to have the ad- vantage over Stark on the night's play, for the Tannery club.

Mroczek and Yurka were the hitters for the Tie gers, ROTARY HOBOES: -- Sullivan, 2b; Gibbons, If; Comerford, ss; Pe ters, lb; Scamell, ¢; Lack, 3b; Nle- hols, rf; Lyons, cf; Fowler, p; For. rester, rf; in 8rd; Proctor, If in 3rd.

O'Connor on the other hand had the strength 'and this made it & very close match right up to the time limit, when referee Ben.Fall- man called the fight a draw, In the semi-final match between Orville Swift and band leader Frank Humphries, who substituted for Juan Lopez, it was a case of hard and heavy work as both fight ers again seemed pretty evenly matched, The fight got to the 23:16 mark before Humphries finally got a flying mare on Swift and flatten ed him for the count, Here Are the Rules Then came the main event and ust to keep the records straight ere are the rules of an Australian Tag Match, There must only be two men in the ring at any one time, To relieve one another the fighters must go to their corners and touch the hand of the man who is holding on to the rope which shows he is keeping out of mis- chief, That last one, in fact all of the rules were ignored by the team of Max Von Bruckner and Farmer Brown and they handed out as many kicks and gouges as time would permit. Jimmy Saikszay and Irish Michael O'Toole who were the other team kept very close to the rules and only broke them when the other team came into the ring and started to gang up on them: The match started with "Farmer" Brown meeting O'Toole. When Brown started to get roughed up a bit he let Von Bruckner e over, This was when the first bad blood began to show between these two and before it was over O'Toole had | toes, the "Von" gasping on the floor out- side the ropes, ; "Ziggy" and "Farmer" Brown were next and the Farmer a hold of "Ziggy's" shoe lace and tied it to the top rope in Brown's corn- er. Referee Ben Fallman sald "naughty naughty" and so the Farmer not liking these slurring remarks slugged the referee in the old breadbasket, Fallman didn't seem to know who hit him and he romptly biffed Von Bruckner in he face, Irish Mike and Von Bruckner tangled after that and again it was very good wrestling, eo Farmer came in to relieve the "Von" and O'Toole managed in some way to put a flying mare on him for the 11 at 14:13, Nothing really happened in the second round until Von Bruckner started to use Ziggy's head for a ram against the very hard knee of ¢ Farmer, They then got the better of hei, "for the fall at 7:18, Farmer Brown was so happy about everything in general and the bout in particular that he gave "Ziggy" a love tap with his foot af- ter the fall that was enough to stamp him through the floor, P.8. oe boards and Ziggy seem to be Wild and Hectlo Finish Farmer Brown continued his call of "What about that aaaay?" every three seconds or thereabouts in the first of the final round when O'Toole started to give the une masked "Masked Flash" a good go ing over, and fixed him but good. Soon all the fighters were in the ring at once and what a mele, Fall- man tried to t them again and again the terrible Mr, Brown slug- ged him, Irish Mike came to the rescue of all and sundry when he bunted the, Farmer out of the ring with his head, Ziggy came into the ring next and he seemed to be tiring fast as time started to run out, He again showed his susoeptability to a battering ram, even when ad ministered by Farmer Brown. The tables were suddenly turned in a very spectacular way by Ziegy for as Brown started his ram tactics again Ziggy came to life and lifted the ¥armer's feet up and slammed them full in the face of Von Bruck- ner in their corner, Both men were down for the count outside the ring at the 14:17 mark and Ziggy got a great hand from the crowd for his double victory, TAKE NO CHANCES Diamond cutters, who serve at least a two-year-trial period be- fore being trusted with a good gem, practise diamond cutting on pota= "The Dance Date of the MART KENNEY AND HIS Year!"
