All Fi-County
Teams To Play
Three teams—Noxen, Orange,
Shavertown—stand out in the few
games played so far this season . ..
Noxen, which finished strong last
season has scored 27 runs to their
opponents 9 displaying power plus
. . Harding rates as the best de-
fensive team in the league having
allowed only 7 runs to cross the
plate . . . Beaumont is tied with
Noxen in the offensive department
also having sent across 27 runs
in its two games. Last year’s
stalwarts—Noxen, Orange, Beau-
mont, East Dallas and Shavertown
—plus one strong newcomer, Dal-
las, give all indications that the
race will be close right up to the
wire.
the top place teams against each
other when Orange travels to Nox-
en for their first encounter of the
season . . . Both teams feature a
power hitting attack and this game
promises to turn into an old
fashioned slugfest . . . Both the
Shavertown-Carverton and the East
Dallas-Harding games loom as tight
low-scoring affairs with Shavertown
and East Dallas getting the nod
. This will be the second en-
counter of the young season for
East Dallas and Harding . . . The
Harding lads came out on top in
the first game 4-1 as Red Winter's
long home run accounted for East
Dallas’ only run.
All the games were rained out
last Sunday and will be made up
either May 31 or July 4—these
two dates being open on the
schedule. Osterhout has engaged a
new field for its games. It will
now play on the Tunkhannock
Armory diamond. All remaining
teams will use their own diamonds,
with Dallas and East Dallas sharing
Dallas Township field. Both Car-
verton and Vernon have improved
and relocated their playing fields
to get them in better shape for
this season’s activity.
First week's games started out
with a bang as six of the top teams
were matched against each other.
Noxen, last year’s playoff winner,
won a narrow 7-6 triumph over
the new Jackson team. Beaumont
and Orange, last year’s first and
second place outfits, struggled
through a tight 1l-inning battle
with the Orangemen coming out
ahead with an 8-7 score. Shaver-
town, strong at the start last year
but faded: during late season com-
petition, took the measure of the
strong Dallas team 9-6. Harding
which finished in the cellar this
past season, surprised East Dallas’
pennant contenders with a 4-1
victory. In the other games Ver-
non smothered Osterhout and Car-
verton took a close one from
Falls.

When Parents Give
AR Whoop
Some time ago the Detroit
Free Press ran a series of articles
critical of the Detroit schools.
We do not have space here to
enter into the question of how
well or illfounded the charges
were.
We're more concerned right
now about a little piece The
Detroiter, weekly publication of
the Detroit Board of Commerce,
carried as a result of these ar-
ticles. It said:
“Much of the fault with our
school system, being exposed by
the Free Press, is due to tax-
payers who Dbellyache about
costs and frills. You send lobby-
ists like us to the Schoolboard
or Council Chambers to keep
taxes down, because education
costs more than any other item
on your peacetime municipal
tax-budget, If you dig into the
problem and learn what you're
getting for your money, your
viewpoint may change. What's
the end-product that your tax
dollar is buying ? Are the gradu-
ates that you purchase worth a
damn when they're let loose? If
not, “is; it their fault? If
taxpayers considered quality and
would buy education like they
buy cheese—maybe they'd get
their money's worth—and the
world might be much more com-
fortable.
“Don’t sit around with other
parents discussing the disgraceful
educational results that we're
getting from our schools—unless
you've done something about
it. Have you ever met any of
your kid’s teachers?
“When parents give a whoop,
education will come into its
own.”

While East Dallas Takes Falls
|
Both Dallas teams scored their
first victory of the season as they
came out in front in last Sunday’s
games. East Dallas took over Falls
8-5 and Dallas tromped Carverton
11-5.
Dallas exploded for 16 hits, five
for extra bases, to garner 11 runs
while pitchers Charlie Brobst and
Jack Fiske held Carverton to 7
hits and 5 runs. Catcher Tom
Edwards led the Dallas attack with
four hits, one of them a long
double. Harry Grose, fleet center-
fielder, connected for a triple and
a single, as Glenn Roberts, Harold
Brobst and Jimmy Knecht each
cracked out a double and a single.
L. Vachicha and C., Cyphers were
tops for Carverton with two singles
apiece.
East Dallas knocked out 12 hits
behind Warren Stanton’s almost
perfect control to defeat Falls 8-5.
Stanton allowed only one man to
reach first via a free pass and
struck out 10 batters. Harry Mar-
tin was the spearhead of the East
Dallas attack with a perfect day
at bat as he hit four for four with
a double and three singles to knock
in five runs. Garbutt, Wilson,
Bittenbender and Z. Martin had
two bingles apiece to complete the
East Dallas hitting. Falls had
three doubles—Haywald, Durland
and Rossman—but two of them
were wasted as they were hit with
the bases empty.
Display of Flowers
Excites Admiration
Shavertown has among its many
flower lovers, two devoted expon-
ents. They are Charles Eberly,
Center Street and W. D. Roberts
who resides next to Dr. Sherman
Schooley on Roushey Hill.
Mr. Eberly, a newcomer, has
labored unceasingly to transform
the plot at the rear of his home
from a bare mound of earth into
a lovely expanse of velvet lawn
and bright flowers. About his new
home he has planted shrubs and
gay plants, adding an appearance
of richness to an attractive dwell-
ing.
Many hours of back breaking toil
have brought about the transform-
ation. Behind his rear yard is an
ugly hill which Mr. Eberly hopes
shortly to convert into an eye
catching rock garden.
Walking up Roushey Hill from
the Main Highway, many residents
pause at the fairyland of color,
Mr. Roberts has created about his
home. A flower lover of intense
and artistic ingenuity, his arrange-
ment of lovely blooms offers a
stimulating and delightful display.
Several weeks ago, hyacinths and
daffodils were swaying gently in
the pleasant garden. At present,
a multitude of tulips in glorious
hues rise proudly from their beds.
As the season progresses, newer
and brighter assortments will spring
up, transforming this bit of the
community into a lovely spot and
bringing much pleasure to the heart
of its creator.
Both men can well be proud of
their contribution to the beauty
of the area in which they live.
