The 'Kings are currently leading the series 2-1 'with one game tied. Star hurlers Bill Gatenby and Bob White, of Mitchell and Zurich respectively, are the probable starting pitchers. A large turnout is expected for what could easily be the final home game of the Mitchell series. The seventh game, if necessary, will be back here on Monday night. 'KINGS EARLY LEAD SLIGHTLY CUT After copping the first two contests in the present Mitchell series the Lumberkings blew three run leads in the next two. Lincoln right -fielder Murray Colquhoun, a regular season flop at the plate, rose to the occasion and drove in the tying run in the 7-7 tie at Zurich with two out in the final inning and then in Monday nite's game, with the 'Kings leading 4-1 in the :seventh, plated the three tying runs when his bases loaded single got by the local fielder. To add insult to injury Colqu- houn promptly stole home with the winning run after a squeeze attempt had failed. Incidentally this was the first time in any inning of any game in the present series that the Lincolns were able to outscore the locals. Don't miss this one To-nite! N * * * SPORTS POST SCRIPTS infield Hard Hit Through Loss of Key Players The left side of the 'Kings infield, which had been intact for a couple of seasans, will certainly be in a turmoil this 'coming week. Besides the big gap left at the shortstop's posi- tion when fiery "Red" Theander was moved to Chatham, the 'hot -corner" lost Its guardian when "Dan Cupid's" arrow struck mil] Yungblut, who, by the way, has led the club in r.b.i.'s all season. However "Big Bill" expects to be back in the line- up for next Saturday's game in Mitchell. Manager Rawlings informs us that "Red" Theander is also expected back for Saturday's contest and, if possible, he may be on hand to-nite. Hats Off To - - - Bob White who was the winning pitcher in the first two •contests due to his brilliat relief pitching. Arnie Meyer whose three key hits were mainly responsible Tor the 'Kings being able to hang on to their 7-7 tie on Thursday 'night. Ron Helier for his brilliant pitching performance on Monday night. Ron had limited the Mitchell crew to two scattered hits 'before the disastrous seventh when a walk, a hit batsman, and two singles accounted for the four runs. Yanks Depend on New Blood The New York Yankees who arecurrently making a runaway of the 1958 American League pennant race and who have almost 'completely dominated this same American League for the past decade have not depended on a stand -pat club to capture all "their laurels. Only six members of the 1953 Yankees are still on this year's roster: Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Gil McDougald, Hank Bauer and Andy Carey. However, these six players would make a "fair" nucleous on any ball club. Extra Paige The ageless Satchel Paige was called on for a ninth inning relief stint against Washington. Bill Veeck, the Brown's boss, told the pitcher that the team had to catch a train in less than an hour. Paige struck out the side on only ten pitches. "Sorry about that extra pitch," he apologized to Veek as they boarded the train, "but the umpire missed one."

Word has just been received from Remi Wein that the Dashwood Tigers are again back in the baseball wars. Originally Dashwood was ent- ered in the OBA as an Inter- mediate "C" team, but due to the fact that their population warrants a lower category, the OBA has agreed to let them drop back into "D" baseball. They had previously been eli- minated in the "C" category by Mitchell. When, where, and who the Tigers will face in their next round of playoffs has not been announced, but it is expected the series will start within the next week. �ena�.l Bantams Beat Allenford. 4-3 Mensall stopped Allenford 13-4 on Monday night to take the first game of the OBA Bantam "D" playoff series.
