Play-Off Contest
To Be Scheduled
The clutch pitching of Arnold
Earley displayed so well in the
first all star game proved the high
card again as the American
League defeated the Nationals 7-5
in the second game. The win for
the American League squared the
series between the two all star
teams. The Nationals had previous
ly won the opener 9-7.
Earley relieving Jack Estes of
the 701st in the sixth inning with
the bases jammed and one out
struckout McDaniels of the 73rd
AFA and forced Baker of the 634th
AIB to ground out.
The strong left hander of the
100th Tank Battalion pitched the
rest of the way for the American
League giving up three runs on
two hits.
The American League drew first
blood in the top half of the second
inning when Becic of the 2d AAA
singled into left jnterfield for
the first base hit off hurler Jorgen-
of the Post Hospital. Mac-
rDougal of the 702nd AIB sacri
ficed Becic to second base and the
2d AAA first baseman scored on
an error to push the American
League ahead 1-0.
The Nationals rolled back in the
bottom of the second to tie the
score. Without the aiu of a base
hit Lewis of the 68th AFA scored
the first run for the Nationals.
The big American League errors
set the stage 'for the run.
Effective National League pitch
ing by McDaniel of the 73rd AFA
handcuffed the American League
hitters for the next three innings.
Four American League batsmen
were strikeout victims in McDan
iels' three inning effort.

vaulted to the lead in the fifth
inning. Pfeiffer lived on the third
baseman's error and scored on
Wilbur Johnson's long signal to
centerfield.
The American League's seventh
inning two run push was high
lighted by Arnold Earley's long
double scoring Kovack of the 702nd
from second base.
The hit pushed the American
League ahead 3-2.
The Nationals wasted no time
in picking up their third run in
the bottom of the seventh inning
when two more costly American
League errors allowed the third
National League run to score.
In the eighth inning' the Ameri
can League opened a gap that
proved to large for the National
League to fill. After Deniz of the
2d AAA had grounded out Blanch-
ard of the 701st AIB drew a base
on balls. Becic of the 2d AAA
lived on an error to put Daniels
of the 73rd in trouble MacDougal
of the 702nd AIB and Smith of the
25th AIB put two singles back to
back to score Blanchard and Becic.
A walk to Kovac and Hutchings'
ground ball chased two more
American League runs across the
plate to whip the American League
ahead 7-3.
Crowley's double for the Na
tional League scored that teams
fourth run with a double and the
fifth run scored on a fielders
choice.
Earley of the American League
put the National league hitters
down in order in the ninth inning
to salvage the* victory for the
American League 7-5. McCormick
of the Post Hospital was the los
ing pitcher.

John Klocko's four hit pitching
effort "handcuffing" the 2d AAA's
leading hitters accented the 702nd
AIB's 9-1 victory over the artillery
nine at Red Lindsay. It was the
2d AAA's first defeat in league
competition.
Klocko's effort was supreme as
he silenced the bats of the Amer
ican League front runners. High
light of the game was the grand
slam home run of left fielder Bona-
marte of the 702nd AIB. Southpaw
Tom Kelleher of the 2d AAA suf
fered his first defeat.
The loss enabled the second
place 100th Tank Battalion to pick
up a full game on the 2d AAA Bn.
The "Tankers" after battling the
702nd AIB to a 7-7 deadlock ear
lier in the week settled the tie
at Red Lindsay field by handing
the infantry nine a 7 5 defeat. Ar
nold Earley brilliant southpaw
hurler of the 100th Tank Bn weak
ened only in fifth inning as he
fired the Tank crew to the win.
John Klocko of the 702nd was the
losing pitcher.
The possibility of a four way tie
in the American League became
more realistic as a result of the
2d AAA defeat. The 4005th with a
record of eight wins and two los
ses in a game and one half off the
pace with the 701st AIB in the
same position. A great deal how
depends on the result of the 100th
Tank-2d AAA Bn Baseball game
on July^O.
The 701st AIB stayed strongly
in the running by dumping the
47th Medics 8-4. Eddie Blanchard's
infantry nine picked up their eighth
victory. Soffer outstanding hurl
er of the Medical Battalion was
the losing pitcher.
The 4005th ASU ripped into the
35th Tank Battalion for a 9-1 vic
tory to surge closer to the Amer-
League lead. The Enlisted
Detachment with but two losses
wasted no time in picking up an
early lead and coasting to vie
tory.

The Post Hospital under the
careful guidance of Major Stanley
Cohen and behind steady pitch
ing whipped the 704th Tank Bat
talion 4-2 in a major upset in the
National League. The Hospital
nine was in complete charge of the
game held at Red Lindsay field.
The defeat for the "Tanker" team
enabled the league leading 73rd
AFA to retain their commanding
lead in the National loop.
The artillery nine made it
eleven straight wins by downing
the upset minded 86th Ordnance
Battalion 10-1 in a seven inning
contest.
Wilbur Johnson of the 123 Ord
nance continued to boom out base
hits and paced his team to a 10-1
win over the favored 634th AIB.
Johnson who doubled in the first
and singled in the second inning
is the leading hitter in the Nation
al loop with an average of .500.
High lighting competition thus
far is the brilliant no hit pitch
ing of Hogner. The 336th Quarter
master Bn fireballer went the full
nine innings against the 123 Ord
nance Bn and failed to yield a
hit to the Ordnance team.
The 16th Engineers won by for
feit over the Provisional Battalion
to move up in league standings.
The 68th AFA close on the heels
of the league leading 73rd AFA
notched victory number ten at
