For it was j Breisingers scatterarming in three ! frames last night night at Waters field that aimed the Salems at their series-evening victory, a 5-4 conquest of the club so anxious to jump into first place in the West ern International league stand ings.

For the spectacled Costello, as hard a working flinger as there is in the loop, it was his first win since joining the local corps.
