Mill City’s Teamsters swept to the championship of the Detroit Dam league Tuesday when they swamped the REOS at Mongold 17 to 8. The champs uncovered an unsung hero in their cleanup batsman LiLack who powered two home runs and a triple in five times at the plate. He also pitched the first two innings. His first homer came in the first inning before he had stepped on the mound. Two Teamsters were on base when the mighty wallop came. Proving he could do even better with the bases loaded, in the third he again collected a round-tripper to drive in seven runs in two trips to the plate. Brown of the REOS homered off the home-run conscious pitcher in the second, but none of his team mates obliged him by being on base at the time. Before LiLack was re placed by dependable Mel Levine on the mound in the third, they had Mill City Firemen Battle built up a 10 to 1 lead. Levine found the REOS in a re-.
