Tne afterpiece between Nav- Stas and Barbers was postponed by agreement between the mana- gers. Stas, unable to put a full team on the field due to extra work at the Naval Station, re- quested the postponement Facing an embittered band of Soldiers, the Pipe-Fitters, de- fending champions, were extend- ed the full seven innings be: chalking up their fourth straight victory over the Marching Men. For three innings, the puzzling change of pace employed by starting pitcher Almeda held the heavy-hitting Peppers to a lone tun. Even after the Pipe-Fitters got to him for two runs in each the fourth and fifth frames, the Army moundsman remained out in front 6-5 with the help of timely safeties off the bats of his teammates. After allowing the tying score in the sixth he left the hill in favor of Wood, who was charged with the defeat. Plumbers sent home a_ lone runner in the opening frame on a single and stolen base by Julius “DoDo” Villareal, centerfielder, and an error by shortfielder Coleman, who dropped a long fly hit by Doug McCarthy, playing same position for his team. Army came right back in their half of the initial canto and knotted the count when Rhoden, who had singled, crossed.the plate on a steal and a two-base error by third baseman Charlie Rosam. Doughboys, holding Peppers scoreless in the second and third jumped ahead with ore in the second. A sin- ild throw to first and aj; lone gle, fielder’ er to cross the plate. In the fourth, ‘both clubs tallied twice. Plumbers sent two runners on consecutive dou- bles by Villareal and McCarthy and a single by “Two-By-Four” Higgs. Army, blanked in the third, accounted for their pair of | markers on a single by catcher | Eddie Nelson, triple by second baseman A. Walker and a bunt off the bat of Coleman. | Again in the fifth the bitter tivals scored twice—Plumbers on singles by pitcher Clarence Gates and captain Jackie Carbonell, a walk and a long fly to left by second baseman Mickey Ubieta, and Doughboys on a walk to first sacker Saunders, singles by Almeda and third baseman As- sat and an error. \ From then on Army didn’t have a chance. “Cigarette Willie” Gates, growing stronger as the game proceeded, shutout the Soldiers in ‘the sixth and seventh as his teammates knotted the score and finally went “over the top”. A tiple by Higgs and ,single | by sub Maitland Arias, tied ‘the gcore in the sixth, and a triple } d Carbonell, an error and a ielder's choice won the game in the seventh. In a desperate bid for victory Army called on four pinch-hit ters in the last frame. Spradelin, the first, flied out to second; Mc Ardie landed on first on an er ror; Simms walked and Cook, the fourth “cold” player sent into the fray, ended the battle by popping out to the pitcher.
