Lincoln 6-Jefferson 2 The team copped its second victory by a 6f2 triumph over Jefferson in a game that was curtailed to five innings on account of rain. Behrens, the Lincoln moundsman, turned in a good job in limiting the powerful Jefferf sonians to four hits and two runs, while his teamfmates had a good day in pounding the offering of the rival pitcher for six hits. Three hits by Francis McDonough and a timely home run by Harry D'Allesandro led the way to victory. Lincoln 7-St. Michael's 6 Although St. Michael's team put up a stiff battle, our club nosed them out by the score of 7f6. In the second inning hits by Heffernan and Brown, followed by Adamchuk's home run gave us a threefrun lead. St. Michael's, ho-wever, in their half of the inning went ahead by one run as the Lincoln moundsman momentarily weakened. The Blue and White had another scorf ing spree in the sixth inning, when they put over three more runs on hits by Pierce, H. McKenna, and Campbell, and safe bunts by D'Alessandro and Heffernan. Again in the seventh Lincoln scored, making a total of seven runs. St. Michael's rallied in the ninth, boosting their total to six runs. Lincoln then fought hard, played fine defensive ball, and saved the day. Lincoln 5-St. Peter's 2 The Slanemen continued their brilliant winning streak as they took the St. Peter's Prepsters into camp to the tune of 5f2. Peter's put up an un' expected fight to make the game interesting although Whitbeck, the Lion pitcher, had the Prepsters eating out of his hands, as he gave them only four scattered hits while whifiing seventeen batters. Qui' team gave him a lead of one run in the first, and continued by scoring another in the fifth. The Prep scored one tally in the sixth, but Lincoln reciprocated with a barrage of three runs in the seventh stanza. Peter's fought back and scored a run in the ninth, but poor basefrunning nipped their rally in the bud. Lincoln '7wUnion Hill 6 Our boys continued their brilliant play when they knocked off a pref viously unbeaten Union Hill nine by the score of 7f6. Lincoln started off with a bang by bunching three hits and a walk, to score four runs in the first inning, but Union Hill nullified this advantage by scoring three counters in their half of the first inning and another run in the second. In the third inning Lincoln put over three hits for two more runs. Union tied the score on a homer by Zaycek, and three singles. In the eighth inning Hugh Mc' Kenna singled, and Harry D'Alessandro supplied the victory punch by drivf

Lincoln 0-Textile 9 The Lincoln nine opened the 1935 season in a disappointing fashion, when they were decisively beaten 9fO by Textile High School of New York. The powerful Textile nine, behind the inspired pitching of Nicolas and Romera, had no trouble in hitting three Lincoln pitchers for a total of eight hits. Lincoln collected only three scattered hits, but as they came out at times when the bases were vacant, they went for nought. Lincoln 11-Henry Snyder 2 Behind the effective pitching of Charlie Achong the Big Blue batters hit their stride and walloped the offering of Lefty Cocoa over the lot for eleven hits and a sum of eleven runs while Lincoln limited the Snyder bat' ters to two hits, striking out 13. The victory restored the confidence of the team after a shaky firstfgame start.

ing McKenna around. Behrens, the third Lincoln pitcher, succeeded in holding Union Hill for the rest of the game. Lincoln 5-Memorial 4 Lincoln pulled another close one out of the 'fire as they defeated Memorial by the score of 5f4. The game was intensely interesting from the first pitch to the last out. Memorial was leading most of the game, scoring a run in the fourth and three more in the seventh. Lincoln, mean' while, scored a run in the second inning, and then lost their batting potency, until the seventh when they scored on hits by Brown, McDonough, and Pierce. The eighth inning marked the turning point of the game. Hefferf nan walked and was sacrificed and took third on a wild pitch. Then he stole home to tie the score at 4f4. The winning tally was provided by two walks and an error. As a result of this victory, Lincoln took the lead in the race for the county championship. Lincoln 14-Emerson 12 Continuing their streak of winning, our boys submerged the Emerson tossers under a wave of 14 runs to 12 for their opponents. The game was featured by heavy hitting on the part of both nines, but Lincoln's late scorf ing punch manifested itself in the eighth inning when Johnny Yengo singled Pierce and McKenna across the plate with the winning tallies. Lincoln 8-Bayonne 11 Bayonne High School's baseballers ended the long winning streak of Johnny Slane's boys as they downed Lincoln by an 11f8 score. The game was marred by costly errors by Lincoln's iniielders, on which Bayonne built up a lead which was not overcome. Lincoln 9-St. Peter's 7 Roused by this defeat, Lincoln took the measure of a threatening St. Peter's aggregation by a count of 9f7. Chet Campbell's single in the ninth inning scored two runs to overcome a 7f6 St. Peter's edge. This victory gave our team an average of eight wins in ten starts, to place them near the top of the county race.
