It was home runs again that played the major role on the Mt. Pleasant team's defeat. the win- ners extra base wallo ing in the last three innings o the game paying off heavily against the of- ferings of the losing hurler.

s s s

But up to the start of the sev- enth it appeared as if the Mt. Pleasant team was slated to send the series into a third and decid- ing game as they built up an 8-3 leaal and consistently outhit the ul- timate winners. At that even, they did outhit the winners but failed

to bunch ihcm with men crowding

the sacks as the winners came through with fine fielding efforts to put down the threatening ral- lies.

a But it was the best played soft- ball series lilo Island in a long while. Both teams played a brand of ball in both games that would be hard to equal. They were full of fine field- hi}; plays and brilliant pitching. whilc the players fought tooth and. iinll from the opening pitch un- til the final one.

Just how far the local airmen will get in their games in Mont- real is hard to say. They play a very fast brand of ball around Mon- trezil arid Toronto where the games are attended by huge throngs of people and no doubt about it the No. 2 A. N. s. team will be in for tough battles.‘ .

But then some of the

have played in fast softball com- pany before. One can easily dis- ccrn that by just watching them in action. Their every move denotes experience in fast company and it would not be surprising if they went much further than s. lot of people expect.

The squad is strong in every position and wield plenty of power at the plate. Their reserves also can step in and fill the ehoes of the regular players while headed by Brown. one of the craftiest hurl- ers to perform here in a good many years, they have a pitching staff that no matter who starts should cause plenty of trouble for oppos- fng batsmen no matter what repu- tation they might have.

Local softball followers will be awaiting the results of their Mon- treal invasion eagerly. Wednesday night in conversation with Pete Kelly. Pate stated that he did not know definitely when the team

would leave as he was still await- -

121g word from playdown officials but whenever they do they will carry‘ with the-m the best wishes of sports followers here. '

Eddie Miller, baseball's leading’

shortstop the last four years ap- pears on his wav to become the best fielding shor top of all time. s s s

The 27-year-old native of Pitts- burgh. Pa.. seems destined in bet- r~r his own fielding record of .983, established in 1942. when he made onlv l3 errors while tackling ‘I48 chances in 142 genres.

Including the game played May 3i. lliillcr has accepted 205 chances in .,. games with only one error for n phenomenal fielding marl: of .595. His lone miscue occurred in the third liming of the second game of a twin-bill against Boston on lvlav 14, In getting sot for an easy grounder, Eddie took his eyes nff the ball to see how far the run- ner from first had run to second.

s s s

If Millcr continues to pace the shortfieldcrs this year, he will tie Joe Tinker in leading the National Lcnzua sliortstops for five years. Millers, hnvrcver, will be in suc- cession. whereas the best Tinker could do was two straight years.

Everett (Deacon) Scott of the Red Sox holds the American Lea- gue record. having led the circuit in fielding in each of eight seasons. Scott owns rho junior league's best mark with .976 in i918 and ‘l9.

The Deacon averaged .966 for his eight best campaigns. a little aver 24 crrors per season in 144 games. never less than 17 errors. Miller's combined fielding mark for ihe inst. four vesrs is .374, averaging a little lass lhrn 23 errors per sea- ion in 140 games. his lowest error total bc-ing l3 in 1942. Tlnkcr'| five-rear mark is .918. an average of 29 errors per season.

A further check reveals that Marty Marion of the St. Louis Car- dinals. lvfilleids closest rival. many claim is tho Red shrirtstrvfs superior, owns a .958 percentage fnr the last four years. with an aver- age of 25 errors in 139 games a Ieason.
