The winning streak of the Matthew's German Lutherans was snapped last night when the South Congregational church nine adminis- tered a totally unexpected 5 to 4 eating to the Inter-Church haseball league leaders and dropped them back into a fie with the First Luth- erans. It was the season's first loss for the St. Matts, who had com- pleted the first round without a blemish on their record, while the victory lifted the South church from the league cellar and placed it in a tie for fourth place. Parker and Morey singled with one away in the fikst, but the former was caught at the plate and the rally came to nothing. Two innings iater the winners had another chance, but Ray Bomba was out at heme trying to score from second on Parker's single. In the fourth, how- ever, the break came. Barta hit with one down and. after Bell had gone out. Billy Bomha laced a home run to right center, making the score 2 to 0. In the sixth the St. Matts did all their scoring. Bobecka led off with a hit, Preisser sacrificed. and Suess rolled a hit into right, sending in one run. Klopp and W. Preisser also hit safcly, and the St. Matts took the lead. This drove Morey to socer, and Bell took up the pitching. L. Neumann's sacrificc Texus leagues sent in the fourth run of the frame and then the side was retired Billy Bomba opened the last ses- sion with a hit, took second on a passed ball, and went to third as Wessels was being thrown out. H2 scored while Joseph was going out at first and, with one out. the St. Matts seemed sure of victory. [Bul Ray Bomba scnt a tantalizing slow roller through the box into center field for a single, and then Suess lost control and passed Rockwell and Parker, filling the bases. With two called balls on Morey, Suess gu\» way o Billy Preisser, but the latter gave Morey two mniore and Bomba scored the tying run. Preisser also gave a free ticket to Barta, and Rockwell came in with the winning counter. Bell grounded out. With one gone in the last half, | Billy Preisser slapped out his third hit and stole second, but Wessels sneaked in from center field to trap him off the middle sack and run him down, and then Bell fanned L. Neumann for the final out. Suess and W. Preisser got three hits each. W. Bomba's home run and single made him the outstanding | hitter of the game, while Parker, R. !

Douthit has been a central figure in the splendid defensive play of the | Red Birds during their remarkable | showing of the last four years, | The first big league player to| make 100 hits in 1428, Douthit fin- ished the season with more assists and putouts combined than any out- fielder in either league. He is gath- ering them in just as regularly this year and again is helping those cele- brated Cardinals make a close pen- nant race in the National league. Last year Douthit, whose full name is Taylor Lee Douthit, accept- ed 577 chances. This was 121 more chances than was credited to Karl Combs, king of American league outfielders, Taylor had 547 putouts and 10 assists. His closest competitor for defensive honors among National league outfielders was Lloyd Waner, Pittsburgh flash, who made good in 433 chances. Douthit slumped badly in batting toward the close of 1928, but fin- ished with an average of .295. His batting eye still was bad during the orld series, in which he hit only 091, but the fleet Arkansas lad wiped out memories of that poor showing with his 1929 comeback. Near the mid-June mark, he led the American league in runs scored {with 51 to his credit and was hit- [ting the ball at a .329 clip.

A, Flier Turas in 413 Performance in New York New York, June 18 (#—Leo Ler- mond, husky flier from the Boston A. A, had to his credit today the second fastest outdoor mile ever run in this country. Lermond, who only a year ago was the best of America's crop of two milers, clearly demonstrated his right to head the list of present-day American milers when he turned in a 4:13 performance for the eight furlongs at a benefit track and field meet at the Yankee Stadium last night. J.ermond's time was the fastest any American has made since 1915 when Norman Taber of Brown did the mile in 4:12 3.5 at Cambridge, Mass. Taber's time, incidentally, stood as a world's record until Paavo Nurmi lowered it to 4:10 2-5 in 1923. The Boston A. A. flier had the ad- |vantage last night of being pushed |to the utmost by Gus Moore, young negro cross-country star of the Brooklyn Harriers. Moore, who helds |the national cross-country title, led | Lermond most of the way but wilted in the final dash to the tape and fin- ished some 30 yards hack of the Boston A. A. flier. Joe Hickey, of New York university, intercollegiate A. A. A. A. mile champion, was third and Wilbur C. Getz, Alfred univer- sity. holder of the national collegiate A. A. title, was fourth. The other feature of the benefit |meet for New York Public 8chool Athletic league, the 100 yard invi- tation dash, provided a thrilling duel which saw Claude Bracey.

Meeting a tough snag in their peaceful sailing towards a no-defeat season in the form of nine deter- mined Dragons, the Gasco baseball team last night bowed before the Fafnir team of the Industrial league in a close battle at Walnut Hill park. The score was 4 to 3. Ferguson and Kenure worked for the Dragons while Carlson and Kopee labored for the quarter collectors. Each team got about five hits. Krause, first baseman for the Dusty league team, slammed out a home run with two on in the fourth while Tommy Matteo slapped a three bagger to right fleld.
