WASHINGTON WINS 41 Innings to Take Game League Standing w. L. Paradise Park. . Washington ... Smith 3 Nathan Hale .. Boys’ Club ‘Willow Brook. . ¥.M G A ... Burritt T The Washington team, champion outfit last year in the Boys' Rotary baseball league barely won out over the Willow Brook team yesterday in a game played on Diamond No. 1. It took the winners 11 innings be- fore they sewed up the game by the score of 17 to 16. Five pitchers were used in one of the heaviest hitting contests of the year. The Washington team with a wild spurt in the eleventh frame came through with one run to break a tie and score a victory. Capodice slammed a triple to left with one on base. This scored the winning tally. Both teams had several op- portunities to score, but tight sup- port cut short rallies and forced the game into the two extra innings. Washington executed three fast double plays in the last innings. The score see-sawed back and forth during the battle. Both teams went on batting sprees and up to the last frame, either team seemed a likely winner. The Washington team | went into the ninth with a three- | run lead but Willow Brook rallhd[ again to tie the score. Willow Brook took advantage of Capodice’s wildness in the first in- ning and two runs scampered across: the plate. Folden was safe on Capo- dice’s wild throw on a third strike. Fink doubled to center and Folden scored, Fink going to third. Fink tallied on another wild heave by the ‘Washington pitcher. Washington scored one in the last half of the frame. Labienic walked, stole second and scored on Skonlecz- ny's single over second. In the third the Washingtons got to Lin¢han and scored four, going into the lead. Then the lead changed hands al- most every inning right up to the ninth, the winner was uncertain. Washington seemed sure to win with its three-run lead but the infield went to pieces and Willow rBook tied it up. The real fireworks came In _the| eleventh when Kaczynski reached first on an infield error. Capodice | then slammed his triple to win hlfi‘ own game. Skonieczny with his fi\r“ hits was the big noise for the win-| ners while Schubert did some hrzny‘ hitting for the Willow Brook. ILa bienic pitched a nice game for the winners in the last few innings. The summary: EASHINGION, = Slassusmnousy Hubay 2b rf . T Quink, rf Bapko, 2b Dix, 3b .

It is the home of the British open golf champion, of the state and the intercollegiate golf champion, of the southern tennis champlon, of the woman trap-shooting champion of North America, and of athletes who have set track and swimming rec- ords.

Atlanta’s championship week was next marked by the victory of 17- year-old Bryan Grant, Jr, in the southern tennis tournament, played at Memphis. Grant, though still a schoolboy, fought his way to the finals, where he defeated Jack Mooney by tennis of such quality that critics predict he will some day be national champion.
