Mill Run Sweeps Medics to Increase Fay-West Lead- Breakneck Win Drops Wooddale Deeper Into Third Drop Locals Two Games Off Pace With 13-7 Win; Virgin Hurls Strong Relief Forget about the Fay-West League's pennant race. It virtually ended last night.

Mill Run walloped the Connellsville Medics, 13-7, at the Twelfth St. field to sweep the big two-game ser- between the two clubs, and now holds a two-game lead in first place. Where there was a deadlock 48 hours ago for the top spot, a position Connellsville hsd occupied either singly or jointly since the season opened, today the Medics have dropped behind, and Mill Run, through sweeping the two-game set with the locals, now owns the biggest margin yet between the two clubs this year two full games.

Mill Run now has that space, and with a two game lead is going to be tough to dislodge. The Millers now stand 166, and Connellsville has dropped tc- a 14-8 chart. So, the big question remains if Connellsville can't keep the Millers out oi first, who will? Tonight, the Millers will be i Meadows, if out to protect their lead in a home test with Jones Mills, and may even have a chance to increase their hold. For while MR is at home to last place Jones Mills, Connellsville has an away game with their 'jinx' team, Trotter.

A six-run fourth inning, plus some clutch relief pitching by George i i propelled the new leaders to the top anc kept them there. For a time, it looked as if Connellsville 'might be making a comeback when the locals began to tattoo starter Glenn Shearer. But Virgin came on in relief in the fourth inning, and closed the door. At that point, the Medics had narrowed the gap to 9-7, but while Virgin was stifling their bat power, the Medics were unable to hold back the visitors' offensive groundswell and four more i a runs poured across. Both sides had on their hit ting shoes, as 33 hits rattled off the brick yard infield and to the barriers.

Four doubles, a triple, and four homers were included in the batting assault, with Mill Run combing loser John Cott and reliefer Herb Lunden for 19 hits. Every starter in the Millers' lineup got into the bat act, with Virgin having four hits to lead the way, and Bugs Orndorff whacked a homer and double. Scott Flack had three of Connellsville's 14 hits. Mill Run trailed only once in the game, in the first inning when the Medics took a 2-0 lead. Flack singled, and Pick- handle Merkosky and Doug i belted successive doubles to give Cott a 2-0 edge.

At the lodge, Joseph was told that 10 black bears had been shot in that area already this year. The area in which he was hunting was, in Joseph's words, "about 15 miles from the nearest telephone pole, and acces- sable only over a dirt -road just wide enough for one vehicle." Young Buhler continued hunting daily, then one evening his efforts were rewarded when he was hunting along the shore of the nearby lake. He spotted a black bear coming out of the woods, and waited until he had a clear shot, then downed the ed, so I kept shooting him around the chest." When the game old bruin was finally downed for keeps, and weighed in at the lodge, Joseph was told this was not only the llth bear to be taken in that area, but that it weighed a whopping 360 pounds--the largest of any of the 11 killed so far this year. The hide and head were frozen and brought back to Connellsville, where the next trip will be to the taxidermist. The Buhlers also did some fishing while in Canada, but, as Joseph described it, "they weren't biting too well and there were no really big ones caught.

We were told that not many big fish were being caught at that time." However, as far as Joseph is concerned, the fishing was inci- If it wasn't for Breakneck would be in fir; place in the Fay-West Baseba League.
