LEAGUE. CHAMPIONS
Defeated Gurney's In Play-Offs and
, Won Advance-Times Trophy /
Fridlty evening, the softball picture
for 1946 faded into the distance, when
Fry & 131aetchall's defeated Gurneys
24-4, to win the town league title and
The Advance-Times trophy, Climax-
ing one of the keenest series in years,
five games were necessary to declare
a winner, Prior to Friday's fixture
the Gurney nine had tied one game and
won Tuesday's tilt 9-8, 'to stay in the
running. Friday night's affair was too
'one sided to make the game interest-
ing from a fans viewpoint, Judging
from the, brand of ball played in the
two previous contests •fans felt the
-sgame would be a nip and tuck battle,
but went home disappointed, The jinx
seemed evident in the Gurney' lineup
when the team fell apart like a snow-
ball on a midSun'imers day. Costly er-
rors and timely bits by their opposers
spelled doom for the glove men.. Der
spite the fact softball is over for this
year, the Gurney nine gave all they
had in the series, although stacked a-
gainst a more balanced club, and the
Fry & Blackhall nine .were deserSTing of
their win on the season's ,play.
