By the Associated Press 1 A moist afternoon along the major league trail, where three of the nine | scheduled skirmishes were post- | poned, was hardly enough for the | Yankees but just about right for the | #z— ks Athletics.

Hudlin | Schulte 0 had relieved Walter Miller after the | |i'®™ J latter'’s retirement in favor of a| 3 pinch batsman in the eighth when o the Indians were raking Grove for 0 one run to tie the score. The victory marked Grove's fifth attempt to bring home his 15th de- cision of the season, and was his triumph since July when pitched part of a game to g easy verdict over the Indians at Philadelphia, 21 to 3. He has not met defeat since that time, however. as the A's have either won or tied his every start, but with winning credit going to some other pitcher. ! The less said about the lacing of | g the Yankees in Detroit, the kinder | mite, c it will be to both teams. The game |West, « began just as it ended, with the bat- | ters swinging from the floor and the pitchers ducking after each toss.

By beating the American Legion 10 to 5 in a Junior City baseball league game at Walnut Hill park last evening the Phantoms pressed closer to the pace-setting Colliers and spoiled the losers’ chances of figuring in the race for the cham- pionship. Legion The Phantoms found the offerings of Schmarr to their liking and hit consistently when they had ren on bases. Although the Legion pound- ed Camp hard they were unable to get a rally started except in the sixth inning because of the se | tional fielding of the Phantoms. It was poor defensive work of the winners which allowed the Legion to get four runs in its big inning. All of the blame cannot be placed on Schmarr for the Legion's defeat as he did some very fine pitching lat times but his mates let it go for naught by ragged fielding. With {wo outs and on: man on [in the first frame Schmarr was | nicked for three straight hits and an |error by Capodice gave the Phan- | toms a start of four runs.

Heavy favorites going into the game last night, the Burritts emerged a humbled and saddened crew after suffering a 6 to 3 lacing at the hands - of the youngsters from Farmington avenue who are piloted by Johnny Cabay. The Burritts had a chance to take possession of the pennant’ for this season an all but sure thing by a victory last night, but the team was outplayed from start to finish by one of the fightingest crews of baseball- ers this city has seen in some sea- sons. The big bat of “Starhead” Bud- nick swung with a mean pair of arms and propelled by an eagle eye, kept the Holy Cross team in the run- ning in the first few innings when the Burritts got a jump in the scor- ing list. In the four times he faced the opposing hurler, “Starhead” whaled out two home runs and a triple giving his team the impetus and the spirit to fight. youth against age and youth won out. “Bruno” Kania, veteran of about 10 seasons, was opposed by | Eddie Krystopa, one of this season’s finds, and though Bruno's work of paper, appears a little better than that of the Holy Cross twirler, in the game, Bruno was hit hard and timely while Eddie got himself out of some bad looking holes through crafty headwork and a sturdy arm. It was apparent in the first in- ning that Krystopa was a mite nerv- ous as he started and he walked Ga- domski. The fleet-footed outfielder of the Burritts stole second and, with two out, he rode home on John- ny Klatka's slice to right field. The Holy Cross team had gone out in order in the first but “Starhead” Budnick led off in the second. He hit a terrific drive p. t Stanley Bud- nick in right field and circled the bases with plenty to spare. This evened up matters. The Burritts, despite a walk and a hit in their half of the second, |were unable to score but the Holy |Cross team also went without get- ting a run in the third. In the last half of this frame, with one out, Stub Budnick connected for a two bagger. The ball went between iTronoski in center and Charlie Kre- dar in left. Kredar made a great bid to stab it one hand but could only knock it dowm Again Johnny IKlatka strode to the plate and this time he singled into left scoring the | Burritt short stop. The fourth inning came and “Star- head” Budnick led off again. This |time he belted one to far center field |for a triple. With one out, he at- tempted to score on a fly behind short stop but his brother “Stub” Budnick threw him ~ut at home plate. “Starhead” and Kopec col- |lided with a bang at the plate but neither was injured. The Burritts went out in order in Ain’ It 2 Grand and Glerious Feeling In the pitching department, it was | Fielding Features. the last half of the fourth and the Holy Cross aggregation came up to bat determined to do or die. Joe Budnick sliced a single over second. Marcinczyk went to sacrifice. Kania fielded the ball and elected to play at second. His throw was there in time but Zaleski was straddling the bag and he touched Budnick late. Both men were safe. Krystopa laid down a neat bunt and sacrificed both men |along. Dalkowski tried to “squeeze™ in a run but he fouled twice. Then he hit a triple on the right field foul line and two runs were in. Crossed signals with Kredar at bat brought Dalkowski in on a dead run for home. Kredar's play was to bunt but instead he swung hard and miss- ed for a strike. Dalkowski was out a mile at the plate. Kredar then rolled out to short. A pretty piece of defensive base- ball was seen in the Burritts' time at bat. Gadomski singled and Ha lick sacrificed him to second. “Stu Budnick was safe when Dalkowskl mussed up his roller at short and Gadomski went to third. Budnick stole second. Johnny Klatka was up but Krystopa elected to pitch to him. Johnny whaled a mighty drive at “Starhead” Budnick at third and he threw to Marcinczyk at home to catch Gadomski coming in. This made the second out and although “Stub” Budnick was on third and Johnny Klatka on second, Johnny Rose was thrown out at first by Dalkowski. The Holy Cross shortstop fumbled the ball but with a lightning-like throw, he caught the runner. This about took the heart out of the Burritts. As the Holy Cross team again came to bat, Joe Tronoski fiied out to right field. Then “Starhead” Budnick put one past Gadomski in center field for his second homer of the game. Si Budnick worked Kania for a walk. S. Partyka slapped a driye to the tree in center fleld and Si ‘scored on the hit but Partyka played it safe and pulled up at sec- ond. He died there. The Holy Cross team scored again in the seventh when Krystopa's roller went through “Stub” Budnick's legs at short. Dal- kowski slapped a single to right field on a perfect hit and run play and Joe Budnick, running for Krystopa, made third. Dalkowski started to steal. Kopec threw to second to get him and Joe Budnick tore home. Dalkowski was safe at second and | Budnick scored. The Burritts rallied in the last half of the eighth. “Stub” Budnick led off with a single. Johnny Klat- ka hit a short fly behind short for another single, Budnick holding sec- ond. Johnny Rose singled into left but by a great piece of fielding and an equally great throw by Kredar, Budnick was held on third. Zaleski hit to “Starhead” Budnick on third and he tossed the runner out at first allowing “Stub” to score. Then Kry- stopa reached the greatest heights of his career when he fanned P. Party- ka and Kopec for the last two outs of the game. The contest was called at this point on account of dark- ness. Joe Tronoski made a great catch in left center of a drive off Zaleski's bat when, on a dead run, he leaped |ahead and speared the ball, holding |it despite the fact that he fell and |did a somersault. Si Budnick pulled |another great catch right after him | when he went away out in right field {to pull down Kopec's fly. “Starhead"” Budnick was the heavy sticker for |the Holy Cross team while Johnny | (Continued on following page.)
