Jackson Takes
Little League
Championship
Defeats Shavertown
By One Point Margins
In Three Series Games
Jackson won the Back Mountain
Little; League title Monday evening
with a 4-3 victory over Fernbrook.
It took Jackson, first half winners,
four games to knock over Fern-
brook in the required best-three-
out-of-five series. Wilkes-Barre
Meat Cutting School, sponsors of
the Jackson nine, received a large
trophy and members of the win-
ning squad were presented with
smaller individual trophies. The
members of the Jackson team also
presented a gift to Steve Radanow-
icz who managed them during the
season.
Fernbrook, managed by# Frank
Heminway, put up determined
battle before bowing to the wvic-
torious Jackson nine. Three of the
four games were decided by one
run counts showing how evenly
matched the two teams were.
Jackson won the first encounter
5-1 last Monday. Fernbrook came
right back with a 4-3 victory on
Wednesday to even the count. Fri-
day’s game was a madhouse affair
with Jackson finally coming out
ahead by one run with the fan-
tastic score of 12-11. The final
game came on Monday with Jack-
son’s narrow 4-3 triumph.

THE POST, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1951
|East Dallas
And Beaumont
Win One Each
East Dallas defeated Beaumont
7-5 behind the six-hit pitching of
Warren Stanton to win the nine-
inning opener of the Bi-County
League double-header Sunday.
Beaumont came back to win the
seven inning nightcap 6-3. Taylor
saved the day for Beaumont in the
pinches despite eight East Dallas
hits against his “soft stuff”.
The even split in the double
header caused both teams to lose
ground. Beaumont by a clean
sweep could have held uncontested
second place. As it is Vernon is
now hot on its neck for the runner
up spot. East Dallas, fighting for
the fourth place playoff spot,
would have gained valuable ground
on the other contender for this
position as Dallas was held to a
split with Noxen in its games.
East Dallas sewed up the first
game with a four run outburst in
the fifth to come from the short
end of a 4-3 score. Big blow of
the inning was Russ Muchler’s
home run with one man on. The re-
maining runs scored on Art Bellas’
bases loaded double. Dick Patton's
bases loaded triple in the fourth
had given Beaumont its temporary
lead. Patton added another triple
in the sixth to score Beaumont’s
final tally. Everetts and Lefty Wet-
zel handled the mound chores for
Beaumont while Stanton with eight
strikeouts was the victor for East
|Fair Will Run
Six Full Days
Bloom Directors Vote
To Start On Monday
Not only will this year’s Blooms-
burg Fair be bigger than ever, but
it also will be longer than ever.
In the past, Fair has opened offici-
ally on Tuesday, but the Directors
have moved this back to Monday,
September 24.
This will give harness racing fans
an opportunity to get in one more
day of racing, with three events
scheduled for Monday. Monday
night of fair will feature George
A. Hamid’s revue, “Fantasias of
1951,” which will be presented on
a huge stage in front of the grand-
stand.
An ice revue “Ice Varieties of
1951” will be presented twice
nightly starting Wednesday and
continue for the balance of the
week. Shows start at 7 and 9.
Harness racing will continue each
afternoon through Friday and will
feature rich stake racing events on
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons,
with the nation’s best midget auto
racers, and cars, will battle for
$5,000 in prize money over the
speedy half-mile dirt track. Entries
are pouring in from all sections of
the nation. “Red” Crise is again
promoting the races.
Everything is in readiness for
the ninety-seventh annual fair,
the buildings and grounds are
already in excellent shape, and
Dallas. Although only six hits came
from the Beaumont bats four of i
them were for extra bases. Besides |
Patton’s two triples, Crispell and !
Pilger each had a double. Walt Ko-
zemchak had a pair of singles to
go with Muchler’s homer and Bel-
las’ double for the East Dallas
batting.
Beaumont Wins
Beaumont pulled the second con-
test out of the fire by scoring three
times in the fifth inning to break
a 3-3 tie. Taylor outfoxed the East
Dallas batsmen as Beaumont
climbed on the hot and cold offer-
ings of Glenn Swank, East Dallas
moundsman. Beaumont batters
either hit Swank or were struck
out by him. In six innings he fan-
ned nine men and gave up eleven
safeties. Taylor gave up eight hits,
one a double by Junie Ostrum,
while striking out five. Claytie
Taylor’s double with the bases
loaded in the fifth accounted for
Beaumont’s winning runs. Ostrum
with a single and a double topped
the East Dallas batters while Ever-
etts and Crispell with a pair of
singles apiece were the big guns
for Beaumont.
