One leg of the Bi-County League
Playoffs was settled last week as
Orange trimmed Beaumont for the
6-1, to as-
sure it a place in the final play-
off against the winmer of Sunday's
East Dallas-Noxen tilt .-. . Noxen
evened their series, as Granville
Scouten pitched seven-hit ball to
hold East Dallas in check through-
out the game.
Stofko, Orange catcher, was the
big gun in the defeat of Beaumont
when in the fourth inning with the
score 1-1 he smashed a home run
with two men on base to sew up
the game ... . . Beaumont could
only reach Lou Evans, Orange
pwirler, for five hits to score one
run . . . . Two of the hits were
singles by C. Taylor . .. .Also a
double by Wetzel, and singles by
Pilger and Austin . ... d. Smith
with two singles, Stofko’s homer,
a double by Fronzek and singles
by Sickler, Barth and Kunkle ac-
counted for the seven hits off three
Beaumont pitchers; Taylor, Austin
and Wetzel.
Noxen showed too much all
around skill as it throttled East
Dallas . . . The only scoring threat
by Dallas was in the sixth inning
where Pete Austin singled, stole
second, advanced to third on Mike
Hozich’s out and then was cut down
as he attempted to steal home... It
looked like a good play and had
East Dallas been more alert it
would have meant a run .....
Bowers, Noxen 3rd baseman, sup-
plied the biggest thrill of the game
when he laid into one of Harry
Martin’s fast balls and sent it for
a home run out in deep right center
with Art Blizzard on base . . ...
Bowers also scored the first run
in the fourth after a single with
two men out. He came in on
Casterline’s single . . . . Joe Ton-
dora and Tex Wilson with two
singles apiece were the mainstays
of the Dallas crew . .. . Austin,
Martin and Bellas had a single each
ER The third and final game
of the series will be played Sunday
and both teams will be out to take
this one as it will mean a chance
to meet Orange in the final playoff
for the postseason trophy.
Dallas Legion, playing one of
its best games of the season, ran
into umpire trouble Labor Day and
finally in the ninth inning, things
got so bad that the soldiers and
sailors walked off the field . . . .
The Legionnaires, showing some of
the form that made them the most
feared team in the circuit, came
from behind and made up a five
run deficit to tie the score 7-7 in
the sixth, but the umpire’s de-
cisions proved too much and even
with a one-run lead, Dallas couldn't
hold the Miners Mills team plus
two umpires. With the score tied
at 8-8 in the first of the ninth,
a so-called balk by Jimmy Knecht
was “the straw that broke the
camel’s back” and the Dallas team
walked off the field in disgust . . .
Rattigan was ‘‘Sparky” as he led
the team with a triple, a single and
a beautiful exhibition of base run-
ning . . . . Bob Grose with a ter-
rific home run in center field was
one of the points of controversy.
Miners Mills claimed he failed to
touch base on his trip around the
bases . . .
game afield and at bat and also
turned in some fancy baserunning
. Charles Lawson says that
the game is under official consider-
ation and a decision will be made
this week «. « . «

This Jack Horner isn’t a first-grader who doesn’t know any better. Grade school
children have better safety records than adults. No—this Jack Horner is you.
Three out of every four pedestrians killed are breaking a rule—jaywalking—crossing
in midblock—disregarding a traffic signal. What a tragic waste of 9,000 lives a year!
‘Next time you cross the street, wait for that green light! Cross only at crosswalks;
don’t rush out from behind parked cars. Where there are no Signals, look both ways
before crossing. Spend an extra second and stay alive!
