Fire times today he tried to In crease the string but unlike Wil lie Keeler of an older school, he forgot to "hit 'em where they ain't." But in failing to prolong bis great batting marathon, the modest youngster bowed out of the limelight in true hero fash- Ion. His long fielder Harlln fly ball to right Pool in the ninth Inning brought in the run that -enabled thef Stals to defeat Oak land, 4-3. : Demaggio's long batting session started May h 28. By batting .through his yjst game he ap proached closely the record for all leagues of 69 set by the late Joe Wilhoit in 1919.

Hubbard dropped Aurora last Sunday and plays Mt. Angel next Sun day; if Hubbard wins all three will be tied; if Mt. Angel wins it will be all alone on top, but in any catte, there is still a Mt.
