Sky Sox Win To Take First
Colorado Springs is taking its turn at holding down first place in the Western League, a spot which has been passing from team to team like a hot potato.
The Sky Sox hopped on Sioux City pitching for eight runs in the second inning at Colorado Springs last night, as big Bill Pope registered a 12-8 victory. It moved the Sox into the lead since Des Moines split a twin-bill at Wichita, 4-1 and 1-2, and Omaha lost at Pueblo, 3-2
Denver walked past Lincoln, 10-8, for the Bears' third straight victory to remain undefeated in their home park.
The Sky Sox, a consistent team this year, have been no lower than third place since April 21. They may be the team to hold onto the lead for awhile, as all other aspirants haven't been too successful at the job.
Righthander Tommy Legros tossed a four-hitter to beat Wichita in the opener, but Des Moines dropped the second as Charley Locke pitched a five-hitter.
Bernie Thurlby doubled in two Bruin runs in the eighth inning to give Des Moines the first game victory. In the nightcap, outfielder Vass Fastero drove in two runs in the seventh inning to stop Dick Verbic's no-hitter, giving Wichita the 2-1 victory.
Pueblo's Bobby Hoffman came off with a six-hitter in defeating Omaha.

Coach J. V. Sikes ran the players through a bruising three-hour practice session yesterday, the first time this week that the team has been able to work out on the field.
A short period of fundamentals started the program, followed by work on wide-open offensive formations. Some trap plays were worked on, and passing was held to a minimum.
