Pirates, Indians, Port Also Record Triumphs (12-3-55)

STRASBURG (2-0), accustomed to a driver's seat in Tuscarawas County Class B cage play, and Midvale (2-0), usually one of the Bengal's chief nemesis, today shared top billing in the 11-team league. Each club posted its second win without defeat last night as the Bengals waltzed past Tuscarawas (1-1) 64-42 despite a slow start and Midvale's Blue Devils smacked down Baltic (1-1) 91-57 as a 29-point spree by Dick Leggett featured. One other team, Gnadenhutten (1-0), made its first league start a successful one as it clobbered outmanned Dundee (0-1) 92-23. The Indians and Stone Creek (1-0) are tied for third place. Sugarcreek-Shanesville (1-1), going strong in the fading moments of play, got back in the win column with a 74-67 conquest of the slow-starting Mineral City (0-2) aggregation while in the fifth loop fray, Port Washington (1-1) bounced winless Bolivar 82-61.
