‘Rural Leaguers
Get Into Action
Games Please Fans— Dallas, East Dal-|
las And Beaumont Take Lead—
Dallas Still Without Grounds
LOCALS DEFEAT TUNKHANNOCK
‘The many fans who follow the rural
- league were well pleased. ‘with the re-
sults in Saturday’s games, which fur-
nighed a variety of fast field work and
good hiting of which ‘home runs proved):
the downfall in two games.
>
1
Shavertown-Dallas
‘What proved to be one of the most
exciting games of the day was the
DaMas-Shavertown game played at
Idetown. The fans were treated to
some good pitching by Peynton Lee
for Dallas, and ‘Lefty” Thomas for
Shavertown, fast fielding and a com-
biration of hits, ranging from singles
to home runs.
The first run of the game in the fifth
frame, when Ira Morris drove one of
“Lefty's” slants within a short distance
of Harvey's Lake to make the first cir-
cuit clout of the season for the locals.
But not to be outdone, the Shavertown
boys went into actin in theior fifth
frame, when Bill Thomas, product of
Kingston township high school, drove
a double to deep center and scored on
another hit by young Piatt, pinch hit-
ing for Miles. Kitchen then got a base
on balls and when the fog had cleared
the score stood 3 to 1 for Shavertown.
In the next frame Wilson, 'Woolbert
and Guy Scoutim put an act on with a,
barage of clean base hits and tied the
score at three all. Then to make things
look blue again, Shavertown went on
another wild rampage and it looked as
if they had sewed the ball garie up
when they made the count seven to
three and one inning to go. But here
is where the old tradition holds good
that a game is never won until the
last man is out in the last frame. The
fireworks started when Reese led off
with a double followed by a double by
Lee and one of the longest hits of the
day by Bill Griffen, which tied the
game up at seven each. 'At this point
“Lefty” Thomas seemed to be com-
pletely lost ‘when Ted Wilson came
through with his second hit of the day
and scored the winning run when Bill
LaBar connected for his fourth hit of
the day, giving him the batting honors.
Shavertown can be complimented on
the type of ball ‘they played. Most of
the boys are youngsters and with a
little more experience should be a real
‘pennant contender in the rural league.
. Beaumont- Meeker
Beaumont had little trouble winning
over Meeker by the score of 13 to 3.
Archie Austin, speed ball artist, was
in rare form and received gilt-edge
support from his mates, Meeker used
three pitchers in an effort to stop the
heavy slugging done by MacDougall's
crew,
Idetown-East Dallas
Bast Dallas kept up their winning
streak when they nosed Idetown out in
‘the final innings. The Idetown boys
had an advantage of a two-run lead
until Prynn connected for his third
home run of the season to tie the score.
In the last frame the squeeze play was
put into action and gave East Dallas
the game by a 4 to 3 score.
Pete Kocher and. Searfoss, former
Alderson stars, ‘were the battery for
Idetown, while Blank and Michales
worked for the winners.
Next Saturday Beaumont will have
East Dallas at home and should give
the hardest game of the season.

Culver In Rare Form to Win From
Tunkhannock
Chet Culver, pitching his first game :
of the season, led Dallas to a 3 to 2
victory at Tunkhannock last Sunday,
allowing but five scattered hits and
making twelve men fan the breeze.
Ice Evans, ace of the Tunkhannock
nine, was also at his best, allowing
Dallas but six safeties, one being a
double by Burgess, which gave Dallas
a two-run lead in the first frame.
The feature of the game came when
Lasco stole home in the sixth inning)
which proved to be the winning run. |
Next Sunday Dallas will play at Mes-|
hoppen with ‘Culver or Lee pitching, |
Burgess catching, Wilson, MacDougall, |
Griffen, Morris and Woolbert, infield; |
Lasco, Reese, LaBar and Slayzak, out- |

Beulah Grey, four-year-old daughter

she strayed on to the L. V. railroad
tracks near her home just as the eléc-

was too close to her to stop quickly

Fortunately, her mother called to
her at the moment, and the child

Sunday Baseball
Bill Is Approved
Denning Measure Providing For Local
Referendum Wins By Small
Margin Of One Vote
THE VOTE CAST WAS 106 TO 98
The storm of blue law modification
which has been rocking the House for
several weeks Tuesday swept into the
Senate’ the bill of Representative
Denning, Philadelphia, to legalize Sun-
day baseball. By a vote of 106 to 98,
one more than was required to pass
the measure finally, the House took
action which set a precedent in the 137
years through which the Act of 1794
has stood.
The passage of the Denning bill
permitting Sunday baseball between
the hours of 2 and 6 P. M., unless pro-
hibited by local ordinance enacted in
compliance with a referendum of the
municipaliity concerned, moved from
the House calendar the last of the
measures on which the blue law bat-
tle has been waged for weeks.
The ayes on the roll call checked
exactly with those recorded a week
ago when the proponents of modifica-
tion mustered 102 votes in an effort to
pass finally the Schwartz bill which
was similar in effect to that passed on
Tuesday. They had added three votes.
Representatives Burne, Westmoreland;
Graham, Crawford, and Miller, Phila-
absent at the session a week ago.
Hefferon and Roan voted for the bill
but the other Luzerne representatives
opposed it.

Received Order For 50 Machines
From Pittsburgh Dealer With
: Additional Orders For 200
OTHER ORDERS NOW PENDING
Last week was banner week, for,
Post-o-Graf Manufacturing Company
of Trucksville. On Monday the com-
pany received an order for 50 machines
from Its Pittsburgh dealer. This was
followed on Wednesday with an order
for 100 additional, making a total order
of 250 machines. A large number of
these machines have been sold to the
Carnegie Steel Company. A letter to
the Post-o-Graf Company from the
Pittsburgh Typewriter &\ Supply
Co., which placed the order was as
follows:
“Enter our order for another 100 ma-
chines, and ship them to us in lots of
ten or twenty as fast as you can by
Pennsylvania freight: Better put all
the boys on extra night work for a
while so we can get ahead a bit. We
will handle from six to ten machines a
day from now until the dull summer
period starts. Sooner or later we hope
to have a daily quota of twenty.”

Another large order for Post-o-Graf
machines is pending with New York
City Board of Education for use in.
New York City schools. This order
will be placed through the Post-o-Graf
New York office.
The Post-o0-Graf Company has been
unable to find adequate facilities for a
factory location in this region, but has
received proposals from Pittsburgh
men to establish its factory in that re-
gion. Certainly Wyoming Valley and
particularilly the back mountain re-
gion cannot afford to see this rapidly
growing company move to other terri-
tory while local Chambers of Com-
merce, service clubs and business men
are clamoring for the establishment of
more industries in Luzerne county.

TO ENFORCE THE LAW
: ON TRAFFIC TURNS
Commissioner Eynon States That Many
Driver Fail To Observe State
Code In Making Turns
State Highway patrolmen have been
instructed to strictly enforce sections
of the motor vehicle code covering
turning at intersections and signaling
by drivers, Benjamin G. Eynon, com-
missioner of motor vehicles, today an-
nounced. :
The code provides that right-hand
turns at intersections shall only be
made from the right-hand curb or edge
of the highway. It also provides that
left-hand turns at intersections shall be
made to the left of the center of the
intersection from the lane -of traffic to
the right and nearest the center line of
the highway.
“Many motorists are still following
the old practice of going to the right-
hand side of the highway and making
eft-hand turns,” Commissioner Eynon
said. “Still others persist in cutting
across the lane of traffic from the out
side left to make a right-hand trun.
Both are dangerous and inconsiderate
practices and cause many accidents.”
Commissioner Eynon also finds that
motorists are forgetting to give the
signals
pointed out that the code provides that
signals must be, given when starting,
»
These signals are to be given by hand
or arm, or by the signal device usually
connected with the rear lamp. In the
case of closed cars, signals must be
given by the hand or arm held in such
a way as to be visible through the rear
window by the driven of a car follow-
ing.

gives promise of much success; also
much fun. The ladies place their name

Making Progres
On New Road
Three Per Cent Completed In Two
Weeks—Must Be Completed
By September 1st
ROAD A FEDERAL-AID PROJECT
Swift progress on construction of
8.42 miles of highway between Tunk-
hannock and Nicholson, Traffic Route
92 (Legislative Route 479) Wyoming
county, is reported by inspectors to
Secretary of Highways Sam Lewis.
The project is part of the Federal-aid;
program, which must be completed on
or before September 1, this year, un-
der the ruling of the Federal Govern-
ment.
The field report of the project is
typical of the pressure being exerted
by the Department to assure timely
completion of the Federal-aid program.
A review of the report follows:
This project was awarded to Connell
and Laub, Dayton, Ohio, April 14, and
they started operations immediately.
In the ensuing two weeks, they have
completed -azproximately 3 per cent of
the entire contrat. There are employed
181 meh and the individual operaticns
under way include rough grading,
clearing and grubbing, which is prac-
tically completed, placing of pipe and
work on seven bridges.
The County Commissioners are on
the job, having the buildings moved
from within the limits of constructjon,
so that the contractors will not be in-
terfered with in their progress.
They have 61 individual pieces of
construction equipment at work.” In-
cluded among this equipment are 5
gasoline shovels, 8 10-ton rollers, 7
caterpillar tractors with dump wagons
attached, 14 trucks, 2 construction
mixers, while the rest is miscellaneous,
such as graders, SCOOpS, COMPTressors,
ete. :
An inspection of this project shows
activity and progress, which is ordi-
narily seen on a road job after it has
been underconstruction for at least six
weeks. The contractors have a skele-
ton organization who are thoroughly
familiar with our requirements, especi-
ally as they relate to the new tye of
wgconstreetion, while the laboring end of
ty’ work is being handled by mien who
five in the vicinity of the contract.
An inspection at this time indicates
that the contractors will have no
trouble in completing their work by
September 1.
