BARBERS WON HARD - FOUGHT CONTEST, 7-6 Seore Tied Three Times; Two Extra Innings Re- quired To Decide Game; Marines Won Opener yer's Barbers accomplished mpossible” last mght in the afterpiece of a softball double- header at Bayview Park. In the st-half of the second overtime inning, after holding Pepper’s Plumbers runless in the first period of that fatal frame, PLUMBERS’ LEAD CUT Sawyer’s Barbers’ victory last night cut Pepper's Plumbers’ lead over them to two games. Four contests remain to be played, one tomorrow night and three next week. Barbers’ chances of beat- ing out or tying the Plumb- ers were “greatly. streng:hen- ed. Should they take three of the four contests to be played the leadership of the National _ League will be thrown into a tie. the Hair-Cutters went to work. With two men out and no one on base, they took advantage of pitcher Ward's nervousness to push the deciding marker around the bases. Ward, who showed flashes of his old form, began to whip the ball across the plate in rapid fashion, pitching into the ground and over the batter’s head. Domenech, third man to face him in the ninth, got a free pa to first. Esmond Albury singled. Monk Kerr, heavy hitter, then stepped into the batter's box. After receiving a warning from the Pipe-Fitters’ captain to “také it ¢ , Ward proceeded to toss the ball clear over the backstop! wire, advancing both runners. Kerr caught hold of the next pitch, a low one, and sent a ter- rific line drive over third base to score Domenech—and the game was over. Previously the score had been tied three times. Jasper Walker held the Plumbers runless for the first four innings while his team- mates accounted for single mark- ers in each of the first, second and third frames. However, the Pipe- Fitters rallied in the fourth to knot the count at 3-3. Barbers came right back in their half of ame canto to score a pair of and again go ahead. Plumb- ers tied it all up once more in the seventh, sending the contest into extra innings. Both clubs chalk- ed up a lone tally in the eighth. Then the Hair-Cutters sewed up the game in the ninth, 7-6. Kerr and Sterling led the at- tack for the Barbers. Kerr’s two hits tied the contest on one oc- casion and won the game on the other. Sterling blasted three safeties in four tries. Navarro and Hopkins secured a pair of safe blows for the victors. Baker and Villareal led for the Plumb- ers, three hits each. The contest was one hardest-fought of the present schedule. The outcome was in doubt from the first inning on and the suspense kept the fans on edge every minute of the game. There was still a large crowd in attendance when the last ball was poled safely by Kerr.
