Spotts Brothers of Williamsport and Lukens Steel of Coatesville
refused to play their semi-final, because the Erie Pitcher, Leo Kull
was using an illegal delivery and would use that pitch against

denied because only an umpire can declare a pitch illegal and you
can not protest a pitch until it is used against you during
the game, but the two teams still refused to play, so Erie was awarded the State Title
as both Williamsport and Coatesville forfeited out of the tournament) -
