Blasting Long Lee from the mound with three hits and a walk to start it off, 4he Vies finished up on Rookie Don Miles and in all rang the bell six times on five hits, two more of those always costly walks and an error.

Thirteen runs on 13 hits, two errors, nine ; walks, two stolen bases and three sacrifices. The suddenly non-nefarious Norberts did some big business for a change, all of it amounting to the No. 1 pasting of the cam paign for the Solons. Joe Blankemhip, the Vic pitch er who has been mostly a pitching cousin around the precinct this year, held our side to eight scat tered hits, all singles, and enjoy ed oft-beautiful support by his hustling mates. The Salems pounded many Blankenship serves hard, but seemingly always the would-be hits were turned Into big outs by the well-stationed Vic defense.

And although the Salems put men on bases in all but one inning, leaving 12 stranded for the even ing, that was the lone townie run of the rumpus. For the Vies, Hughes' three hits and four runs batted in ftood high. Shortstop Dunn also bang ed three blows. Duane Crawford's two singles were the only evi dence of consistency for the Salems. It was just one of those nights always due to pop up when least expected and wanted. Even the umpires had a double load or woe, which seems to be habitual this semester in the loop.
