SWOYERVILLE WINS CHAMPIONSHIP IN NO-HIT NO-RUN GAME!

REVIEW
a
@® ONE OF THE most remark-
able young pitchers we have ever
investigated, who, at an early age,
seems to have solved adequately
Thurston’s old puzzle of how to
make people see something that
isn’t really there, recently provided
the logical conclusion to an already
spectacular season by tossing a no-
hit no-run game.
Probably the most exasperating
pitcher, to opposing batters, in the
scholastic baseball of Wyoming Val-
ley is Fritz Dorish, husky young
sophomore moundsman for Swoy-
ersville High School. All season, it
appears, batters on the other end
of Fritz’'s pitches (a rather nice
rime) have been swinging vainly
at delightful little rainbows that
aren’t there at all. The real secret
to the young hurler’s success lies
in the fact that nobody except the
catcher knows what happers to the
ball after it leaves his hand. And
often the catcher himself isn’t sure.
Monday afternoon even
Coach Lou Palmero himself
didn’t realize that his star
pitcher was about to enter the
Hall of Fame. If Wilkes-Barre
Township had known about it,
chances are the players would
have taken a turn around the
field and a nice cold shower.
As it turned out, they might as
well have called the game off
for all the good it did them to
take their turns at bat.
® THE ONLY REALLY solid
whack that the Wilkes-Barre play-
ers were able to muster came in the
latter part of the seventh, which,
if it had gone for a hit, would have
come too late to do any good, any-
way. As it happens, however, Out-
fielder Michaels came through for
his alma mammy, made a spectacu-
lar catch which everybody agreed
was impossible from the outset, and
kept Fritz’'s record intact.
It was a very opportune catch,
for it gave Fritz Dorish a remark-
able no-hit no-run dinger for a re-
markable season, Swoyersville a
9-0 shut-out victory and the cham-
pionship of the North League, and
capped a most discouraging and
pointless day for the Wilkes-Barre
players.
Incidentally, Fritz hit a hom-
er earlier in the game to help
win his own contest. Of course
a homer was far more than
Coach Palmero could reason-
ably expect of a flawless pitch-
er, but that little mentor has
become inured to the unexpect-
ed on the part of Dorish. As
far as we can discover, Fritz
always hits safely at least once
during a game, often comes
through with an extra-base
wallop or a homer, and never
gets less than fourteen strike-
outs.
® EARLIER IN THE season we
went around to Tripp Street dia-
mond in Swoyerville to see the
championship team work out. At
that time, Fritz had had 57 strike-
outs in four seven-inning games,
and was an interesting enough char-
acter for anybody even then.
“Fritz,” said Lou, ‘tried out for
catcher when he became eligible for
the team last year. But when none
Old White Mill—MNext
for Lou Palmero’s nine.
Dorish hit his second homer of the
year to bring Swoyersville’s hits to
ten and aid his teammates in taking
a 9-0 victory over the Wilkes-Barre
outfit.
The youthful moundsman gave
one base on balls and two Wilkes-
Barre players reached first in errors.
Fritz had 15 strike outs, saw his
no-hit no-run record saved by a
brilliant catch in the seventh in-
ning by Centerfielder Michaels.
The victory over Wilkes-Barre
Township was the Sailors’ eighth
straight win in the North League
and gave Swoyersville a clear title
to the North League championship.
Two games that were postponed
earlier in the season must be played
off, but even with two losses, Swoy-
ersville High will remain in posses-
sion of the crown.
Slavish and Dzurek were out-
standing at bat for.Lou Palmero’s
squad with two hits apiece, batted
in five of Swoyersville’s nine runs.
Reese and Bosentka were on the
mound for Wilkes-Barre Township,
but powerless to hold an inspired
championship team in check.
Swoyersville, runners-up for the
championship for three years, came
out on top for the first time since
1935. Only three players will be
lost to the championship nine
through graduation.
of the pitchers could hold him down
and the second baseman complained
about the in-curves coming out
from behind the plate, I put him
on the mound. He’s been winning
games ever since.”
Seventeen years old and big
for his age, Fritz has both
speed and control, is at his best
when the going is rough. As
far as we can see, nobody has
ever seen him at his best, be-
cause the going is never rough.
The teachers speak well of his
work at school, which makes
Dorish one of the few pitchers
we have ever heard tell of who
has something on the ball when
he’s off the mound. Between
innings, he wears a cover over
his right shoulder and arm,
just like any big-leaguer.
iorerille was playing Ailey
the day we went around. = Along
about the second inning, we saw a
cloud of dust bring up at first, and
a sheepish Ashley short stop toss
the ball over to the first- baseman |
as an afterthought. |
“Who's that?” we asked.
“Oh,” said Lou, “that’s Fred
Grace, our catcher. He does that
all the time.”

them in their one-sided triumph.
The borough-K. T. H, S. game was
close until the fifth inning, when
the Trucksville players scored two
runs on one hit and a number of

The first week of the Summer
League brought together bowlers
who will match skill against skill
in the art of bowling. The local
boys who have been following up
the scores of those big shot bowlers
now assigned to the various teams
will have an opportunity to com-
pete against them this summer.
John Rahl in his first Summer
League game put up a mark for all
bowlers to shoot at. Rahl hit a
' high game of 279 and a three game
high of 762.
George Wheeler also came over
the line with a 267 game and total
high of 687.
Elmer Kraynak who was with
Buddies in the Merchants’ League
hit 254.
Larko lost his eye in New York
as his bowling was way down in
the games with the Fairsex, or
maybe the girls had him rattled.
Anyway Ethel was pushed off the
team and finished with Wheeler's.
Baker had the time of his life
and showed the Fairsex some real
bowling.
Paul Tomek was right on the job
in his coaching ‘and produced some
results and some of his pupils think
he is a swell guy. Yes, girls, he
will be here each week.
Scwab found that bowling at
the St. John’s alleys was enjoyable
in more ways than just bowling
The rest of the cheese outfit thought
Scwab should pay more attention
to the game. Come around often
Joe, you are welcome.
Jack and Butch Kovacs ran neck
to neck in their scoring against
Kraft’s. Butch is a product of the
Juniors and will bear watching in
the future.
Johnny Rosnick of the Luz An-
thracite team is still in the game
and with Chick Perry led their
team in high scores. The slight lay-
off seemed to affect Phil Richards.
Streng also was off his usual stride.
Rahl’s Market, it appears, has
the strongest line up in Sobeck,
Mike Mizenko, Joe Banks, Frank
Rinks and John Rahl, and with the
addition of Lou Allen they will be
tough to beat. Their first games
totaled 2,927 pins.
Johnny Mullay and his Kelly St.
Market waived aside the offer of
some high scores and elected to
Rahl's, Post Office
Top Pin League
Led by Thompson, second high
bowler in the Business Mens’ League
during the winter, the Buddies took
two games and total pins for three
points from Mutt Motyka’s Kraft
Cheese team last Thursday night at
St. John’s alleys. T. Shimko took
all highs for the Kraft Cheese team
with games of 226, 175 and 166 and
a total of 567 pins.
George Wheeler replaced Lope’s
Beauty Shop with Wheeler's Cafe
team and bowled against the Fair-
sex Quins in their first match. The
girls were fortified with Paul Tomek
and Elmer Kraynak who toppled
557 and 657 pins respectively to
give the Fairsex team an even split
of two points with Wheelers’ Cafe.
Stanley Baker and Larko were with
Wheeler. Wheeler led with 687
and Baker was second with 630
pins.
The two Larksville teams failed to
appear and only four teams used
the alleys Thursday night.
The following bowlers were as-
signed: G. Tomek and Stanley Baker
to the Luzerne Post Office; J.
Schwab and T. Shimko to Kraft
Cheese; Pop Fela and Joe Shan to
the Fairsex Quins; Lou Allen to
Rahl’s Market; J. Shimko, E. Bed-
nar, N. Dwyer and J. Dwyer to
Wheeler's Cate; E. Kraynak and
Gulbish to Keystone Barbers.
All teams will bowl six men due

ployes. Yurchak is their ace with
a 211 game.
The Keystone Barbers, composed
mostly of the Leandri Brothers,
have Bernie Mizenko on the team.
Bernie hit 566 for his first offering.
Now watch Sue.
The Post Office team is over-
manned with last season’s champs.
Juniors, Frank (Roach was the high
average champ) Johnny Dorosky,
