Fans are looking forward to a repetition of the thrilling battle staged by the two clubs at Gorrilla park during the first half of play.

The softball specialists are be ing sponsored by the Northland Sports club. Adding to this attraction, re ports the Northland club, is the fact that six additional lights are being installed on the prsent stan dards at the field.

The additions will give the lighting system a to tal of 24 lights. According to recent informa tion, Eddie Reigner, pitcher foi the King and his Court, last week pitched two games blindfolded. In one of those he had 19 strike-outs, gave up a hit and three walks. In the other he fan ned 18, allowed a hit and walked none. The specialists are reported on their way to the Canadian inter national exposition at Toronto where they will meet last year's world champions, the Tip Top Tailors, in a three-game series.

The King and his Court play regular Amateur Softball association rules, excepting if their fourth man comes to bat with his three mates on base. He continues at bat until a run scores or the side retired. Basically, here is how the four- man team operates: Catcher Determines how strong the batsman is, as to distance and location he can hit. He also sets up all steals. First Baseman--Makes all inside plays -and covers for the pitcher on added pitching dis- Shortstop-- Makes all outside plays and covers for the pitcher and makes necessary long throws rom the field.

Pitcher Governs the whole show. He sizes up the hitter--de- ermines if he is trying or is iretty well decided he hasn't a nance. He decides when to let a man score, strikeout or bunt. He has signals for everything.

With Curt Simmons heading off to war, a heavy burden rests on Roberts' So far he has shown no signs of saggutg. Roberts hung up 14th vie- tory last Bight with a five-hitter against the St. Louis 4-2. He took a 27-inning scoreless string into the game and carried it to 3-4 before Enos Slaughter hit a two-run homer in the sixth Inning.

It was a new season high of shut-out pitching. Granny Hamner tripled with two on in the eighth to score the tie-breaking runs. Del Ennis and Dick Sisler nicked Howie Pollet for singles with two out before Hamner came through. fj Vi was most for the Phils, opening a five- game set with the ever-dangerous Cardinals.

Warren Spahn kept the Boston rayes.in second place with his 14th win, a four-hitter over Chicago 10-2. The lefthander shut out the Cubs until the ninth when they bunched two hits with two walks for their only runs. Spahn also chipped in with two hits.
