Notawa PLEASES THE OPOSSUM MOTHER MORE : "o THAN TAKING HER LITTLE > ONES FORA VoYRIOE™ ST Athletes Feted —— EE —":| SPORTS REVIEW =a @® WHEN A BATTER can’t think of anything else to do, he bunts the ball and runs. Quite often he beats the throw to first base, everybody's happy and another of life’s little problems has been cared for. And when we are at loose ends, we generally bat out a little poetry. The only difference between us and the ball player is that we never get to first base on our attempt. But we al- ways run. After all that gentle preparation, very little explanation is needed for this week’s column. We'll call it Poetic Personalities and let it go at that. @® ARCHY AUSTIN, although he’s mainly concerned with his position as supervising principal of Beaumont High School, is still able to take Sun- days off and be one of the best pitch- ers in the Bi-County Baseball League. A left-handed pitcher, Archy has enough stuff .on the ball to puzzle the best of the league batters, and at the same time enough control to be one of the steadiest and most dependable pitchers in the circuit. He travels the whole nine innings more often than not, rarely blows up when the going gets rough. Perhaps the secret of Archy’s success is the fact that he can reach half-way between the mound and the batter’s box. The boys say you can never tell what the pitch is going to be until Archy opens his hand under your nose. ® OR MAYBE Archy’s Phi Beta Kap- pa key has something to do with it. Perhaps he fingers it thoughtfully dur- ing awkward ‘moments. After all, the skipper of the Queen Mary brought his ship into port just by consulting a medal of St. Anthony, and what's good enough’ for New York harbor is good enough for Beaumont. Anyway, Archy rates the very first poetic personality: Archy Austin is a southpaw hurler, ‘Whose favorite toss is a home-plate curler; On weekdays he bosses a faculty, And frightens the kids with his Phi Beta key. The Dallas Arrows, who face their opening game of the season this Sunday without a diamond, suits, one good practice session or any encouraging prospects, are def- initely behind the eight-ball at this point in the proceedings. ® THEY MAY even have to forfeit their first game, according to Manager Don Gross, if it is scheduled at home . . . home being the old Dallas Borough ball park, which hasn’t recovered as yet from a very serious operation it underwent last Sunday. The operation wasn’t a success, Don says, because it rained whenever he and Pants Lee administered the anaes- thetic, and by the time they were able to get to work on the patient again, the ether had worn off. So they had to harrow the field with- out resort to modern scientific methods. The results were spectacular enough. The field has now been cured of its slope, infield, and, as a matter of fact, of being a baseball diamond at all. Besides, very few of the Arrows showed up for practice Sunday afternoon, which Don says, is prob- ably the best preparation of all for a season in defense of the Bi-Coun- ty crown. > ® “I THINK most of the players are just waiting for the suits to come,” Don says. And the only trouble with that is that the suits, which were sup- posed to have been shipped from Phil- adelphia last week, haven't arrived, and nobody, including the firm with which the order was placed, knows where they are. No suits, no field, no players—and here is the second poetic personality: The Dallas Arrows were a mighty crew, 2 Their runs were many, their losses few; Last year they were known as the Bi- County terrors— Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and described as fol- lows: At Varsity Dinner Lapp Is Toastmaster As PTA Honors Dallas Teams Fifteen letters were awarded at a Varsity Banquet given for Dallas Bor- ough School athletes and bandsmen by the Parent- Teachers’ Association last Thursday night in the school auditor- ium.

Here are a files, just to refresh your memory. Officer Edward Avery has been busy this week checking up on truck owners who allow their trucks to be driven without showing lighted tail lights. Traffic on the new Luzerne-Trucks- ville road was severely hampered this week by bad road conditions which re- sulted from the heavy rainfall. In many places it was almost impossible for mo- for cars and trucks to plow through. The Alderson corner of the lake was a busy place this week.
