The three-of-flve round went to four games, but St. Crolx won the three games it needed for the cham- pionship by shutouts. Behind young Kenny Kallenbergs confident right-hand pitching, St to its fifth Maritime championship in six years after a two-run rally in the very first inning. They were superior in every department of the game. They banged at hopeful Thomas Albert Linkletter, the twirling Springhill "Mountain Boy" for 10 safe hits; they often made the Fenccbusters look school-boyish with their base running: and they ganged up behind their youthful port. past the critical eight-inning at- tempt of the Yankees to break through. Then came the Yankee blowup to remove all question about the outcome. Terrys line single to right- centre started the last Giant drive. Ott caught the Yankee in- field flat-footed with a bunt down the first bzise line. It went for a brise hit. Ripple, a former Mont- real Royal star, sacrified both run- ners and Mancuso was purposely passed to fill the bases. Whitehead, with the count three and two, ivalked on a pitch that Buffing failed to control, forcing home Terry. Obi. clashed home on ‘rravis Jackson's long fly to Dimaggio, who made a. great throw to the platedn a futile attempt to prevent the score. ‘Hubbelrs harmless - looking grounder to Lazzerl was the blow that led to the big Yankee up- heaval. It caromed off the second bascmans shoulder for a scratch hit. The slow-footed Mancuso, start- ing from second base, scored when Crosetti threw wildly past Dickey. The backstop retrieved the slip- pery ball but then uncorked a. weird heave that rolled past the in-rushing pitcher, permitting Whitehead to score. Joe Moore ended the frame by grounding out. Barteli, Terry and Otis each con- tributed two hits to the Giants‘ at- tack, which netted a total of nine safe blows off Ruffing. The red- lioaded right-hander had trouble ivitii his control in the rain but gave Hubbeil a first-class duel until his defence came apart. Ruf- fing's best inning was the third, vrlicn he retired Terry, with two on, and then fanned Ripple with the base full.
