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.

® 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

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.

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.

trip to Wyalusing Creek with a fine
mess of fish. Each man caught the
limit in rock bass. They were very
big ones to boot because I saw |
them.
