Everv- Drop Kesslers From Vaunted Softball Peak St. John's Ends Unbeaten String With 3-2 Victory. St. John's snapped Kesslers' unbeaten string last night with a 3-2 victory at Riverside park. The truimph threw the men's league Softball race back into a two- way tie as Currier's clung to its record of only one setback by downing Davison's 11-7 In the second game of a double header.

In the last of the sixth inning, St. John's mustered a winning punch to come from behind and win the ball game. Al Knispel led off with a single and Glen Schuerman followed with a double that scored Knispel. Then Vic Rectcr poundd a resounding triple that brought Schuerman in with winning run. Harlan Overbeck, on the mound for St.

Johns, hurled his second consecutive victory in nights. Shortstop Les Kleman won hiso putt-putt last night. His dad promised if Les clouted a home run over the wall he'd give him one of the motor-powered scooters. In the fifth inning- Lea walked up to the plate, probably with visions of the promised prize dancing in his brain, and lifted a clean four-base blow over the left field wall that had several feet to spare. It was the neatest hit of the Junior Legion season at Athletic park and accounted for two of Beatrice's 12 runs in a 12-0 triumph over Crete last night.

Dean Linscott, who was on third, loped in ahead of Kleman. The blow was one of three home runs hit by the Beatrice Junior Legion lads who pounded out 12 hits In winning their opening- league game of the young season. It was the fifth victory in six starts for the locals. Kleman shared the limelight with small, be-spectacled Clifton Veerhusen who pitched two-hit ball. Veerhusen was never in trouble.

Only five Crete boys reached base ami one of them was picked off in the top of the seventh. In the fourth frame Duane Gay and Duane Feistinger collected inside the park circuit clouts. Kleman led the 12-hit attack with as "many three for five and Linscott, Gay and Feistinger all got two for thing went right down the line St. John's, with four victories Tommy Bear and Harold according to schedule here last starts, is hot on the heels Andrewand Veerhusen picked up night in the opening game of the baseball season.
