Willi only om* .defeat and thirteen lea gut- wiuH. Grover had been pretty lucky to finish third, and many were confident the series would Ik- ended In three gurnet?with the M.ngruco champions. There'# no doubt whatsoever that tho Margrave is missing Itay Kirby in the outfield, for the former high school star patrolled left field untax I ugly well ail season, and his big bat drove in many runs. Tbea too, Jes# Jenkins has been severely hampered by bis spiked foot on first. Hut it in impossible to take credit from Grover. Gambling his secondstring pitcher. Hill Little. Maiiagt Crisp showed/ IiIr genius as- "Little Hill" kept the few Margrace hits well-scattered exeeut for one inning. Tjhen the ate "one-hit" John Gold, won a beautifully pitched three-hitter the following afternoon to send Grover further ahead. For the lust few weeks a foot bail story -or two bus boon gaining the national apcrting pages occasionally, and each day the fail sport king .itgetting more publicity. In two weeks soflbail will be forgotten, the mlnoi leagues, will be buying moth balls, and football will be back again with reams on reams of publicity and ballyhoo for star teams and exceptional players.

Duke needs tackles and flanks, and State could use a few- good secoiylrst ringers. Wake Forest Isn't saying much ab&ut that strong freshman team, because some of them left school, but the Baptists should be stronger than last year. Only for Davidson is there pessimism.

Though' the Mat-grace p Laved without the scr vices of Manager Charlie Moss, first hssetnan Jess Jenkins, and centerfielder Red Jayton, the second-half winners played heads-up ball throuKhout to stay In-the ra<-s. The tie today necessitates anotner game, at least, as Graver failed to annex three' ktruight, having won .the first, d?5. ajtd second, 6-0, Thus, tig,.It stands .now the Mat-grace must still .win three in a r6\v to take the thig. Oddv-in favorites to win In. four antes at the most, the Mat-grace-fell 'before a seemingly rejuvenated Gro.er teatn. Many fans thought.Graver; as ultra-lucky to' finish high in mo; .ace in the second half, but it was a tfferent story with .the chips on the able. Should the Margrave win today, t is expected that the fourth game ..actually , the fifth) would be piayea jit Ktiday and the fifth Saturday, .hough league and team officials could not be reached for a statement ( Spectators considered yesterday's gime by far the most exciting of the series.

However, three errors by Slim HuCfatetler in the first inning allied materially in Gtover's first batch of four, as the Margrace men were almost helpless in all but the sixth inning.
