PAGE TWO ARROWS LOSE GROUND-BUDDIES RETAIN CHANCE DEFEATED BY NOXEN, DALLAS MUST FIGHT FOR PLAYOFFS The future looked none too bright for the Dallas Arrows this | week as a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Noxen Sunday put them out of | third place in the Bi-County Baseball League and left the local nine BRR BR ry an up-hill climb for a chance in the championship playoffs. The Arrows must win at least two of their next three games against = the best teams in the Bi-County division. Before the largest Dallas crowd of the season at MacVeigh field, the Arrows outhit Noxen, nine safeties to seven, Sunday afternoon, but were unable to overcome an early advantage held by the Wyo- ming County team. Red Brinzo, southpaw hurler for the Arrows who shut out Noxen, 5-0, in a recent game, was knocked out of the box in the fourth when the Wyoming players batted in three runs. Noxen had scored once in the third. Casper Salansky, re- | placing Brinzo, held the opposition scoreless for the rest of the game. While the lone Dallas tally came in the fourth inning, the local nine came close to tying the score sev- eral times Twelve men were left stranded on the bags. Sunday the Arrows begin a two- game series with Meshoppen, lead- ing team in the league. The first will be played at Meshoppen, and the second at Dallas on August 6. The local players will wind up the season August 13 against Vernon, whom they defeated last year to win the Bi-County crown. Winter Bowling League Reorganizes Wednesday A new set up for the West Side erchants’ Bowling League will be discussed at a reorganization meet- ing of the winter circuit at St. John’s alleys next Wednesday night, August 2, at 8, according to President Bruno Spinicci. New officers will be elected and les and schedules drawn up. All Pims and bowlers competing in the lague are requested to attend. phe possibility of having a team of the West Side League compete in the next ABC Tournament will also be taken up. BOWLING With no blood if evidence the Kraft Cheese supplied some of their amous products last week and reated the boys to a good meal wasned down with an opposition product of Glennon’s. Joe Schwab acted as host and Mutt Motyka ex- plained the fine qualities of their team’s products. The scheme work- ed and with Glennon’s team so full of cheese they could not bowl, Kraft walked off with three points. Mike Gulbish is working out his program for the Summer League outing to be held Sunday, August 13. Joe Schwab has been added to the board of strategy and a prob- able site for the affair will be in the neighborhood of Sylvan Lake about twelve miles from Luzerne. A list of committees is being. arranged. Al Regal who conducts the Kelly | St. Barber Shop will take over the Benny's Smoke Shop team next sea- son. Al tells us he will use the same team if they will bowl for him. This team will be in the Junior League. Another new convert to the Sum- mer League is Steve Walko. Looks as if the winter bowlers are starting to warm up. Johnny Soback is never happy Pialess he breaks an arm or some- thing. Sobeck is out of the game for a time with injuries to his arm. Last accident Johnny tried to stop a heavy motor with his head. The motor won. J. Rebar is considering calling his team the St. Louis Blues. With a lucky name like that he feels that his team will get to the top. Zuba still wants to know whether Rebar gave orders in that great Dream Game. As far as we know, Adam, the captain still gives the orders. Glennons were well represented in the All Star game. Birdie Yurchak has returned from the movie colony after his vacation and looked over some likely pros- pects for Boss Mullay’s team for the winter and tells us the only thing about the movie stars’ bowling is their posing, and ‘we got enough posers on our team,” he says. John Rahl has suggested that the 300 bowlers in the Summer League conduct a meet. Among the perfect score bowlers we have: Rahl, “who has three perfect games to his cre- dit, Soggy Tomek, Ed Bednar, Ba- vitz, and the others who have not admitted their success in this per- fect game business. Wheeler Cafe bowlers want to know who Wheeler is. George has a team of out of town bowlers and if he doesn’t show up once in a while the boys will send out a searching party. Business worries, boys; give him a chance. West Side Merchants’ tion meeting Wednesday, August 8:00 p. m. Only six weeks before the winter schedule goes effect. How time flies. re-organ- | circuit in order to gain the first Say SPORTS REVIEW i rc se, —ee ee 5 _— EET SemmEIme ® SOMETIMES RULES and regu- lations are puzzling to us. The oth- er day we glanced at the construc- tion regulations for the first annual Luzerne Soap Box Derby handed down by John Leary and Russ Wil- liams, members of the WPA recre- ational program and the West Side Settlement House, respectively, and co-sponsors of the derby. One rule says that “if you want your racer to be heavy, make it heavy.” weight on a small frame (and the racers, according to another rule, have to be small) for that is very dangerous.” - Fellows, all that is very clear. If you want a heavy soap box auto, okay. But don’t make it heavy, whatever you do. We also find that graft has entered into the derby, which is about the only one of its kind this side of Cleveland. Russ and John have arranged for Major William Clarke, of the State Police Clarkes, and a few of his uniformed pals to be on hand for the derby and check on the speeds of the rac- ers. All fines for speeds over 50 miles per hour will be split three ways, part to Clarke, part to Mr. Williams and part to Mr. Leary. @® BUT ANYONE can see that $12.50 can’t be split in thirds very handily. Either we get that extra 50 cents, or we bring the scheme to the attention of the authorities. The derby will be run next Wed- nesday at 4:30 on Bennett Street hill, between Kelly and the railroad tracks. It should be well worth watching, and a large crowd is ex- pected to attend. Better get there early if you want a good ringside seat. Both Leary and Williams, along with Major Clarke, will frown upon any motorists to use Bennett Street while the derby is in prog- ress, we have been told. ® MUSHBALL marathons have broken out like a rash in all parts of the nation. Teams as far west as Washington State and Michigan Pennsylvania reported games run- ning nearly 200 innings last week. The bemoth ball games are probab- ly no screwier than the average sports craze. But the idea is just screwy enough to appeal to the good citizens of Swoyerville, who are always interested in something new and different. It remained to the Swoyerville Yanks and the Swoyerville Red Sox to set a new world’s record Tuesday by playing 242 innings without a let up and without a substi- tution. The game began just before 5 in the morning, and was halted only by darkness. The temperature rose to nearly 100 degrees during the day. The dust swirled about the players, who complained of nothing, not even sore feet, and played heads up ball from the time they finally got warmed up—along about the 50th inning. @® THE YANKS finally eked out a bare victory, 115 to 106. ‘Twenty more innings and we would have beaten those bums,” said one of the Red Sox players. An estimated Next sentence: “Don’t put, and as close to home as southern | RIES CRANE THE POST, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 19 QE 39 Men's Shop Beats Kunkle In Susque Win May Mean Place In South B Playoffs By winning its last regular game of the season Sunday, Buddies Men’s Shop retained a fighting chance of reaching the champion- ship playoffs in the Susquehanna South B Baseball League, while the hapless Luzerne Croation Tig- ers suffered their eighth defeat of the summer to drop out of the running in the North B circuit. The Buddies, rounding out a de- termined come-back, routed Kun- kle, 16-8, Sunday to move within one game of third place, held by the Nanticoke Zero Club and the Heights Cards. If either of the two teams lose Sunday, the Buddies will tie for last place in the first division and get a crack at the league trophy. While Nanticoke has a better than even chance of beating Kunkle, the Heights Cards are given only an outside chance to top the second- place Mocanaqua Holy Name Jun- iors. The Glen Lyon Pirates, who won Sunday over Mocanaqua, holds first place in the South B with 11 vic- tories and three defeats. Mocanaqua has nine wins and four losses, and Nanticoke and Heights are tied with eight wins and five losses. Both won forfeit games Sunday. The Croations dropped into the North B cellar when they lost to the Miners Mills Yankees, 12-2. By their victory, the Yanks gained fourth place. The Paramount Club of Plymouth, which heads North B teams by a three-game margin, won over the Ashley Reds, 17-10. The Newtown Cubs, who beat the Glen Lyon Tigers, 12-6, are in sec- ond place, one game ahead of the Kingston Rangers. The Rangers de- feated Russell’s, 12-11, and the East End Cards beat the Ashley Pirates, 5-3. The limelight in the Senior A Division of the Susquehanna Trio was taken Sunday afternoon by the Newtown Dixies, who scored a bril- liant victory over the Mocanaqua Eagles, 5-3, to take first place with nine wins and three losses. The Eagles have led the A loop since the season began. The Wilkes-Barre Grays defeated Wanamie, 15-9, to retain third place and a scant margin over Orchard A. C., which won Sunday from Mer- go’s Sluggers. In other A League games, St. Mary’s Polish Holy Name beat Hun- lock’s A. C., 4-3, and the Warrior Run Cubs lost to the Colonial Club of Kingston, 19-3, to drop into fifth place. Competition in the A League and North B division will continue into August, but the South B League season will wind up Sunday. Schedule North B League—Luzerne Croa- tions at East End Cards; Kingston Rangers at Paramount, Newtown 250 hits were gained from George Hlavack, Yankee hurler and Elmer Titus, pitcher for the Sox, both of whom lasted the entire game. The former led in strike-outs, with 23 to his credit. Freddie Ertley, Courtdale resi- dent and manager of Jack Evans’ softball team of Kingston, nounced his intention this week of promoting a softball contest to last all day and all night. “When darkness falls, we'll play under the lights,” said Freddie. “In 24 hours we ought to make those Swoyerville teams look silly.” Dan- ville authorities, according to an in- side report, are getting the asylum ambulance in shape.
