'50's Weather Storm, Down Lawrence Nine

With the weather offering stiffer competition than the opposition of Lawrence Academy could muster, the Yardling nine yesterday managed to squeeze in the legal ball game limit and come out on top, 6 to 2. Today at 3 o'clock they face New Prep on Soldiers Field, while the Jayvees meet the Tufts seconds.

Johnny Chase, leadoff man for the Crimson Freshmen, set the pace in the bottom of the first inning with a sharp single. Two walks surrendered by the Lawrence hurler, Don Homaty, set things up for Cliff Crosby's two run single.

Winning pitcher Rod Davis held the Lawrence batsmen to a total of three scattered hits, one of them a double in the last frame by the opposing moundsman.
