In the fifth inning both teams scored once and the game was again deadlocked. The Fossils scored on three successive singles by Jack Eskridge, Seymour Menton, and James Seaver after two were out. In the Hicks half of the fifth, Jim Salyer singled home Larry Campbell.
The Hicks jumped to a three run lead by scoring two runs in the first inning and one in the second. But Eddie Dater, former varsity baseball player, hit a three run homer in the top half of the third inning to tie the game.
The Fossils scored the winning run of the game in the top half of the sixth inning. Jerry Waugh singled and was sacrificed to second. Monte Moore drove Waugh across the plate with the tie-breaking run with a base hit.
The Faculty Fossils, an independent team composed of faculty members, defeated the Hicks 5-4 in an Independent A softball game Wednesday. In other Independent A games, Carruth defeated Pearson 18-16 and Jolliffe forfeited to Jim Beam.

Rains Pose Threat To Tourney
FORT WORTH, Tex. — (UP) — Drenching rains posed a dark cloud of potential delay over the opening round of the 13th annual, $25,000 Colonial National Invitation golf tournament today, but hesitant officials remained hopeful of starting the show on time.
"I guess I also lead the league in having the most children." Cerv quipped. "I have six—four girls and two boys—and we're expecting our seventh in August. That's a lot of mouths to feed. I've got to keep hitting to get all those groceries."
Bob Cerv Big Boost To 2nd Place A's
Injury Slows
BOSTON—(UP)—The Kansas City Athletics call Bob Cerv "The Monster" and well they should the way he's terrorizing league pitchers with his bat.
Hobbled by an ankle injury a good part of last season. Cerv drove in only 44 runs and hit 11 homers while batting .272 for the A's.
"Actually, I haven't been doing anything radically different this year," he said, "except that maybe I'm swinging more. I'm not aiming to set any records, though. I just hope they keep falling in for me."
"I guess most of the credit should go to our manager, Harry Craft," grinned the muscular, 31-year-old slugger as he emerged from the clubhouse shower.
Cerv, a Yankee discard, staged a typical performance Wednesday when he clubbed his fifth and sixth homers, drove in five runs and raised his batting average to .400 in an 11-4 victory over the Red Sox.
"They don't come much better than Harry," he added. "He tells you to go out there and give it your best for two or two and-a-half hours, and he'll stay with you all the way. He doesn't only say it; he does it, too."
Part Time Yankee
Cerv was never more than a part-time outfielder and pinch-hitted during the various times he was with the Yankees from 1951 through 1956.
Cerv leads the American League in practically every department. He's tops in runs batted in with 21, in runs scored with 17 and in home runs."
"I knew I could do better than
"But I still say Harry has done the most, not only for me, but for the entire club. He's got us all hustling, hitting-and-running and believing in ourselves. We're certainly a much better club than everybody predicted we'd be. I don't know how high we can go, but I'm sure the other clubs are starting to respect us."
There's only one thing bothering Cerv at the moment. One of his sons, Robert Jr., has the mumps.
that," he said, "but the injury was on my pushoff foot and I couldn't hit properly.
So far, the Athletics have won sight out of 12 and are only a half game behind the league-leading Yankees.
BOSTON —(UP)— The amazing Kansas City Athletics could tie for the American League lead today by stopping the Boston Red Sox in a single game in Fenway Park, after whipping them 11-4 Wednesday.
Maybe it's contagious because his old man certainly has broken out in a rash of base hits.
A's Could Tie NY With Win At Boston
Ned Garver took the win, his third in succession. Wally Burnette, who was strong in his lone startling appearance this season, was named to oppose Mike Formicles in today's game.
