Game today — Shav ers vs. Team-
sters at Mill City.
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.

mates obliged him by being on base
at the time. Before LiLack was re
