Corbin haseball team further entrenched itselt in first place in the Industrial Baseball League last night when it defeated the Russell & Erwin team 13 to 8 in a postponed game played at St. Mary's field. The Russwin team started off to win the game and scored five runs in the first three innings. Then, however, with Al Blanchard pitching a nice game of tall, his fielders either kicked away runs or let easy putouts go for hits and allowed the Corbin outfit not only to tie the score, but to secure a big lead. J. Prelsser started in the box for the league leaders but he was yanked in the second after four tuns had been scored off his deliv- ery and "Huggy” Carlson was sent into the box for the third time this week. Carlson allowed only two runs jand six scattered hits while he was 1.000 667 667 667 667 500 SR o on the mound. Luke started the ball a-rolling with a slashing single over third. Hennessey followed with another. Blanchard sent Luke along with a long sacrifice fly to center. Scheid- ler got a long single into right bring- ing In the two runs. In the second Groman singled through short, Jas- per booted the next next, Luke sliced a single through short and on Luke's fumble of Hennessey's roller, the second run of the inning was scored. Morelll's single and Hu- ber's error brought in the fifth run in the third. With two out in the last half of the third and Jasper on second after a single and a stolen base, “Goodie” Preisser walked. Patrus hit a hard ball at Blanchard and it went for an infield hit to short. Jack Wright slashed a drive to right field. Had Jimmy Cosgrove remained where he was, it would have hit him but he ran in and widely misjudged the ball. Wright pulled up a third but he could have easily made a homer on the hit. After t the Russwins did a Lindbergh. Huber singled and went te second and third on an infield out. A minute later, he stols home, furnishing one of the features of the game. Two men were then put out. arlson singled to left and went to third on Matteb’s drive to right. Matteo stole second and an easy fly ball was hit to Morelll in left field and he dropped it, letting in two runs to give Corbins a lead or two. Two errors by Jervis and a double brought in three more in the fourth. Another was scored in the fourth on DEMPSEY /WORKING HARD FOR COMEBACK Mountain climb'mg | |[FALCONS AND CORBIN RED SOX AT HOME TOMORROW Wicos of Springfield Appear At St. Mary’s Field— Tobin’s Clan Meeting Collinsville In Central League Game—Kensington Crosses Bats With New Haven Champs — New Britai Club—Cardinals Meeting Two Stro;\g Three games will be played by lo- cal baseball teams at home tomor- row so that the fans of this city will have plenty of the sport to keep their attention in town.

The big hoy is regaining| his murderous punch too—some- | thing that was noticeably lacking against Tunney. Dempsey isn't the least interested | in whom he is going to fight. For! the time being all he cares about is| gotting into shape so that he can fight someone. To attain that goal, he ig keeping five sparring partners busy all the time. He is neglecting | all of his business in lLos Angeles while he roughs it up here at an ex- pense of $1,200 a week. | “I don’t know yet what T will d0,” Dempsey told me. “I will not slgn for any fight until T feel con- | fident in my own mind that I can| win. T am rounding into pretty | fair shape now but T still need | more work before I will be fit to enter the ring. “Say, this Tunney won't stand a chance when the champ puts on the gloves with him again.” boasts Jerry the Greek, who has been the fighter’s trainer for years. Jerry, about half Jack’s size, treats the big boy like a son. He knows juse how much work the “champ” should do and despite protests sends him to the showers long hefore Jack is ready to quit. “I have watched the many ars and T know when he's in shape. He had no business fo fight Tunney before but he looks £0od now. It he keeps up his pres- ent pace it will be a far different story when he and Tunncy meet again.” champ for FIRST LUTHERANS WIN3RD IN A ROW South Cong. and Swedish Beth- any Ta_ke Church Games League Standing w.
