Lefty MacAleer hurled the LP. U. Anchors to a 4-3 victory last night at the Park diamond in a well played league game against the North End Rnvers. The lean southpaw was at the peak of his form as he scattered eight hits and racked up fifteen strikeouts over the nine-innings route.

Baldy Williams, Anchors centre- fielder. accounted for three of his team's runs. In the third innings Williams stole homo after getting on base on a holder's choice. and lu the fifth he scored t win- ning tally when he sma ed a line drive into right field that roiled over the bank for a home 11m with Cttarlie Ryan on base.

Buck Whltlock poled out his third circuit smash in league play and his fifth of the season with nobody on in the second inning in his first turn at bat. Whitlocics hit was a high fly to center field that went over Williams’ head and rolled down the driveway.

Anchors loaded the sacks in the first innings when the first two batters. Harold Hennessey and MacKinnon singled and Ryan strolled. but the Rovers gct. out of trouble when Williams hit into a double clay to Higson at second base. The West End crew got two runs in the third when Charlie Ryan got a life when Ward failed to touch first base and Williams got on through a flelder-‘s choice. Ryan scored when Bill Whalen dropped. Connors’ fly in short right field and Williams stole home on Dillon's delivery to the plate.

Ryan and Williams were back in the fifth for two more runs when Ryan led off with a single and scored as Williams slashed his home run into right field.

Buck Whitiock got the Rovers‘ opening tally with his home run blast in the second. Bill Whaler: accounted for run number two when he tripled down the right field line and crossed the plate on Whitioclds single.
