TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1( ), 1940 Pepper's Plumbers | National Softball TAKE LEAD A jai Clarence Gates’ Relief Hurling Featured Pipe- Fitters’ Victery Last Night Pepper's Plumbers, tentatively, are the champions oi the National Softhall League. Their victory 7-4, over Sawyers Barbers last night in the nightcap of a double- header gave them a lead of four games with only two regular eontests to be played. A question of three postponed games in this league will be brought up for decision at the softball meeting tonight in coun- cil chambers at the City Hall. Plumbers won the first-half of the softball race and barring un- toward decisions at the meeting tonight, they will be declared victors of the second-half. Plumbers jumped into the lead in the very first inning as Castro’s wildness and one produced a pair of markers. Cas- tro walked the first two men to face him and as there were no outs, he did good to pull out of the hole with only two men scor- ing. As it was, the runs came in after two players were retired In the second, Pipe-Fitters’ moundsman, Hancock, lost cen- trol of the ball. He started the game with a sore right thumb that got worse with every ball he pitched. Before he was yanked, he issued three bases on_ balls. Combined with an error and a hit, four runs crossed the plate. Clarence Gates, who relieved Hancock, struck out the first man to face him to retire the side. From then on, the Barbers nev- er scored again and got only three more hits. Plumbers knotted the count in the third with another pair of markers and took the lead in the fifth as a lone score was tallied. Single run in each the sixth and seventh were just excess margin. Usually reliable DoDo Villa- real, playing firstbase in the ab- serice of Barcelo, miscued twice. His error in the second inning paved the way for the Hair-Cut- ters’ four-run rally. Weak-hitting Earl Ingraham, catcher of the victors, came through with safe blows in two of his ‘three appearances at the plate. Ward, utility outfielder. also connected for a pair of safe- ties Barbers were held to four hits, two of which were secured by Domenech, regular centerfielder holding down the hot corner last night. Kerr and Hopkins ac- counted for the other two bingles. Score by innings: R. H. E. Plumbers 202 0111—7 7 3 Barbers 400 000 0— 4 4 3 Hancock, C. Gates and Ingra- ham; N. Casiro and Hopkins. Albury.

Conchs played a short exhibi- tion affair with junior Park soft- ballers. No score was recorded. TYPHOONS WON TWO IN MIAN DEFEATED YMCA TEN 8-5 AND 15-8 IN SOFTBALL LAST WEEK Typhoons, champions of the scrub teams that play at Bayview Park, journeyed to Miami last Friday morning and returned home late Saturday night with two victories and no defeats to their credit.

All officials and managers are urged to attend to par- ticipete in further discus- sions of the rules and regu- lations to govern the league. Plans for improvement of the grounds and stands at Navy Field will probably come up for decision.

NILO LEON IN CITY ON VisIT IFF JAYCOCK” NINE DURING 1910-16 Nilo Leon, former noted base- baller of the City, and Mrs. Leon, arrived over the high- way this week for a stay here of 14 days. This is the Leons’ tenth annual vacation in Key West. Mr. Leon is well-known among local baseball fans. He was a member of the famous “Sheriff Jaycock” nine, 1910-16. This club toured the state, met and de- feated all comers. Other members of that were: Fred Dion, present post- master; T. Aguilar, M. Medina, Panther Pent, Charlie Sorondo, Aquili Caraballo, Mgr. Brown, Perez Corcho, J. (Cheche) Mira and other stars of that day. Mr. Leon is now a resident of Tampa, where he is a mailcar- rier.

Thornton Lee’s four-hit pitch- ing, while his teammates pounded a pair of Tribe pitchers for 11 safeties, meant defeat for the In- dians in a big way. It was not only a question of marking another game in the loss column, but it literally meant that the | Tribe, at long last, had to desert the top rung of the American League. Idle Detroit Tigers slip- ped into the leadership, a _half- game ahead of the fading Cleve- land nine. New York Yankees, remain a game out of first place, but are == just a half-game in the rear of the Indians. The victory was the sixth for the Chicago White Sox against the Tribe in 23 starts. A lone run in the fourth put them ahead and another single marker in the seventh gave them a 2-0 lead. Cleveland’s only run was scored in its half of the seventh as Heath singled and Keltner doubled. In the only National League game yesterday, New York Giants defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers, 7-4, to grab one of the three contests in the latest series between the clubs. Dodgers scored all their runs in the first and ninth innings. A three-run rally in the opening frame looked bad for Hal Schu- macker but the Giant mounds- man settled down after that and twirled seven straight scoreless cantos. New Yorkers got to a trio of opposing pitchers for 14 hits to shove over all their markers in the first six innings. The win was the Giants’ fifth over the Dodgers in 19 games and dropped their eternal rivals seven con-! tests in back of the idle Cin- cinnati Reds.
