W- W.Wyatt (4-0), L- B.Logan (0-1)
HR- Yuc: F.Koster (1)
All Yucca and Whitlow Wyatt in this one, as the crafty righty goes the distance and allows one earned run on just three hits, earning his fourth win with no losses and giving Yucca their tenth win of the season. RBI singles by Babe Herman and Joe Just opened up a 2-0 lead in the opening frame off eventual losing pitcher Bob Logan. He settled down over the next four innings, but got no run support from his team, apart from a run thanks to a throwing error by Wyatt in the fifth that scored Harry Taylor. Back to back doubles by Herman and Just made the score 3-1, then two outs later, Fred Koster hammered Logan's curve ball into the dirt behind right field for a two run homer. Logan left after going six and allowing five earned runs on eleven hits.
B17 Monclova (R.Lynn, 1-2) @ Pecos (J.Shaffer, 0-0)

W- J.Shaffer (1-0), Sv- J.Haley (1), L- R.Lynn (1-3)
HR- Mon: J.Greenberg (2); Pec: G.Puccinelli (13)
What more can be said about the Pooch?? This guy is going to hit thirty or more home runs this year! He drove in five on the day, smacking a three run shot in the third, then doubled in two in the fourth. Joe Shaffer went six after going from a 6-1 lead, to allowing three runs in the top of the sixth to make it a two run ball game. Woody Davis took over in the top of the seventh, and this looked like a bad move after Joe Greenberg smashed hit second pitch over the right field wall to make it a one run game. However, Davis settled down big time after that to toss two innings, and he was followed by John Haley who pitched the ninth in a manner that made the home crowd nervous after he walked the first batter he faced before retiring the side. Shaffer gave up seven hits, struck out two and walked one. Red Lynn left after giving up five earned runs over five innings on six hits with four Ks and three walks.
C17 Sonora (H.Smythe, 1-2) @ Algona (J.Berly, 1-2)
Sonora 010 010 811 - 12 13 1
Algona 010 030 000 - 4 8 2
W- H.Smythe (2-2), L- J.Berly (1-3)
HR- Son: E.Miller (3)
Algona led 4-2 until it all fell apart in the top of the seventh. Sonora sent fourteen men to the plate in that inning, with Art Parks getting ragged in the dugout over making two outs in that frame. Jack Berly took the brunt of all that offensive firepower, allowing nine runs, seven of them earned over six and a third. He gave up eight hits, struck out two and walked six, watching his record fall to 1-3. Harry Smythe picked up the win for Sonora, going seven and allowing four earned runs on eight hits while walking two. His record improved to 2-2 on the year.
D17 Calico (A.Fisher, 2-1) @ Paducah (K.Raffensberger, 3-0)
Calico 000 000 000 - 0 4 4
Paducah 000 001 00x - 1 4 2
W- K.Raffensberger (4-0), L- A.Fisher (2-2)
Ken Raffensberger became the league's second four game winner, as he tosses a four hit shutout with the help of four Calico errors. Two of those errors came at the ends of centerfielder George Stumpf, who made back to back circus catches with bases loaded and no out in the second to rob Paducah of a pair of sure extra base hits. He also caught the last out of the second for good measure. Then, Stumpf taketh away with his glove, committing an error on the first batter to come up in the bottom of the third for Paducah, then committing the lone error that cost his team the win, when he misplayed a ball that carromed off his shoulder to score Wally Judnich who himself reached base on an error charged to catcher Ed Madjeski. Incredible action on the field today on "Chug-a-lug" night at the ball park.
A18 Seneca (O.Judd, 0-3) @ Yucca (R.Barrett, 2-1)
Seneca 000 000 000 - 0 4 1
Yucca 000 230 00x - 5 10 1
W- R.Barrett (3-1), L- O.Judd (0-4)
HR- Yuc: B.Herman (4)
Red Barrett tossed a four hit shutout, while Babe Herman's two run homer in the fifth served to put away the hapless Seneca nine in the second of four between these two clubs. Oscar Judd gave up four earned runs in the game and left after six. He allowed eight hits and walked four. Herman doubled in a run in the fourth before flexing his muscles with his fifth inning tater. Lou Vezilich doubled twice and singled in the contest. The season has barely started, yet Seneca already finds themselves nine games out of first, and they will have to make some moves in this duffer's opinion.
B18 Monclova (J.Rogalski, 1-2) @ Pecos (G.Washburn, 2-0)
Monclova 000 002 100 - 3 10 1
Pecos 000 000 000 - 0 5 0
W- J.Rogalski (2-2), L- W.Davis (1-1)
Pecos reliever Woody Davis plunks Monclova pitcher Joe Rogalski in the sixth, setting off a bench clearing brawl and a small fire in the bleachers. Amazingly, neither Davis nor Rogalski were tossed from the game, but three bench jockeys in the Monclova dugout and Pecos leadoff hitter William Homan were tossed. Adding more pain to the situation, Pecos starter George Washburn had to leave the game after five, when he twisted his ankle legging out a groundout. Davis pitched the sixth and promptly gave up a pair of doubles to Chet Morgan and Milt Galatzer, and you should have seen the look on his face when he gave up a walk to the next hitter, Joe Mack. He got Marty Marion to pop up and El Breese to ground out before his 1-2 fastball got away from him and hit Rogalski right in the shorts, causing the big rhubarb which was fueled in the stands by ten cent beer night, as several fights broke out and one dumber than dumb fan set his part of the bench on fire. Monclova drops to 9-9 on the year, while Pecos improves to 12-6.
C18 Sonora (K.Wicker, 2-3) @ Algona (T.Olson, 1-1)
Sonora 000 000 000 - 0 11 1
Algona 220 100 20x - 7 12 1
W- T.Olson (2-1), L- K.Wicker (2-4)
Ted Olson tosses the third shutout of this afternoon, scattering eleven hits as Algona whips Sonora to put both clubs in a tie in the standings with identical 8-10 records. Three Algona batters had three hits on the day, with Linc Blakely accounting for a pair of doubles. Buck Fausett and Mickey Haslin each had three hits for Sonora. Kemp Wicker went five and allowed four earned runs on eight hits to get the loss.
D18 Calico (B.Carpenter, 0-0) @ Paducah (J.Mooty, 0-2)
Calico 110 321 000 - 8 16 2
Paducah 001 220 40x - 9 16 1
W- L.Watkins (3-0), L- I.Chelini (2-2)
HR- Cal: O.Carnegie (8); Pad: P.Reese (2)
Bob Carpenter's bid to win his first game of the year is thwarted as Paducah puts up a four spot in the seventh and make it stick in an exciting win at the Paducah Flatlands Ball Yard and Vulture Petting Zoo. Calico led 2-1 when they rallied for three runs in the top of the fourth with two out. In the fifth, Calico got an extra pair of runs when Ollie Carnegie led off the inning with a solo blast, followed by three straight singles which scored Butch Myers. Benny McCoy reached third on an error in the sixth, scoring on a double play to make it an 8-5 game and Carpenter was feeling good. Dark clouds appeared on the horizon however, as with one out in the bottom of the seventh, Albert Smith singled and scored on a double from Butch Weis. This chased Carpenter, and Ital Chelini took the hill and gave up a triple to Pee Wee Reese to make it a one run game. Merrill May singled in Reese, then after reaching third on a Wally Judnich single to right, scored on a fielder's choice, giving Paducah a one run lead. Linville Watkins had come in to the ball game to pitch the seventh, and stayed in the rest of the way, going three scoreless to earn the win. Buddy Rosar had four hits for Paducah, while Calico backstop Ed Madjeski had four hits for his club. Both players won a pair of socks from Paducah Men's Shop, located inside Nasty Nick's Ol' Time Bar and Ice Cream Parlour (not kidding!!).
