FIRST-HALF PLAYOFFS  Dokey-Tigers vs Arenas  (best-of-five series)

(July 6)  Running across five big runs in the top-of-the-ninth inning, the pennant-winning Arenas closed out the first-half playoffs in four games by clipping the Dokey-Tigers 6 – 2. It was the third win for the Rinkmen in the series, the other resulting in a tie. Base knocks by Art Frick, Issy Rosenstock, winning pitcher Wally Lawton, Joe MacDonald and Johnny Cook as well as a sacrifice by Vance Cancilla accounted for the final-canto outburst by the victors. Leading hickory hacker in the affair was outfielder Wilf Arnott of the vanquished nine who stroked a triad of singles.
