First No-Hitter
This Season
Excellent Support By
Teammates, Decides
The masterful pitching of “Sal”
Federicci was perfection plus on
Thursday evening, July 22, as
Shavertown downed East Dallas
3-0 in a Teen-Age League game
played at East Dallas Field. Fed-
ericci pitched the first no-hit, no-
run game of the Teen-Age League
this season. In gaining his fourth
victory in as many starts, the
Shaver ace struck out six and al-
lowed but three walks and was in
serious trouble in only one inning.
Shavertown scored their first run
in the second inning when Straus-
ser was safe on an error, Hons was
hit by the pitcher and Lukasavage
singled to score Strausser to make
it 1-0.
The East Dallas third was the
troublesome inning for Federicci as
two men got aboard via walks and
an error on the first baseman load-
ed the bases. Thomas, East Dallas
catcher, popped to third to end
the attempted rally.
Shavertown scored another run
in their half of the third when Dy-
mond doubled, Heslop singled, and
Ballut followed by blasting another
double.
East Dallas had men on second
and third with one out in their half
of the fourth but excellent support
from his teammates help Federicci
get out of the hole and come on
to finish his no-hitter.
In the Shaver fifth, three suc-
cessive singles failed to produce a
run with two out as Ballut popped
to third to end the inning.
Strausser singled to lead off the
Shaver sixth, advanced to second
when Powell grounded to short and
came in when Lukasavage singled
to score the final run of the game.

All-Stars Drub
Luzerne 12-3
Malak Strikes Out
The Back Mountain All-Stars
drubbed the Luzerne All-Stars Sat-
urday afternoon to the tune of 12-3
at Connolly Field in Luzerne. Paul
Malak struck out 19 as he regis-
tered the second win for the
Mountaineers.
The Mounties started out early,
scoring three runs in the very first
inning when Michaels walked, Dy-
mond singled, Heslop walked, and
Ballut singled.
Luzerne came back in their half
of the first to score a run after
Rebar walked and Hutsko tripled
to deep center.
Neither team scored in the sec-
ond but the Mountaineers scored
ricci hit the first of three booming
triples.
With two out in the last half
of the final inning, Bishop scored
from second on a scratch single by
Doborsielski and an overthrow to
first base to let a spirited All-Star
team of the Bob Horlochar Memo-
rial Little League defeat a favored
Bradford County All-Star team from
Sayre 9-8 Wednesday night on Ar-
mour Leather Company Field at
Noxen.
The win places the Horlochar
team within one game of National
recognition in the Little League
World Series to be played later this
month at Williamsport.
That game, the final hurdle on
the All-Stars World Series route,
will be either with Canton ' or
Wellsboro this Saturday, possibly
at LaPorte, a mid-way neutral
field.
So great was interest through-
out northern tier counties in Wed-
nesday night's’ game that the con-
test was broadcast to the Bradford
County area by Radio Station
WTAS of Sayre over a special hook-
up directly from the Noxen field.
Holorchar All Stars took an early
lead which it held throughout the
first four innings. In spite of Cia-
bardini’s booming homer in the
third. with one on, Sayre went into
the fifth inning on the short end
of an 8 to 4 score, but with a de-
termination to even the count,
which it did, when Newman poled
a beautiful home run with two on.
Later in the same inning Shappert,
Horlochar left field, saved the day
for his club, reaching high above
the left field fence to grab a hot
one that was home run bound, end-
ing the scoring at 8 to 7.
Bradford County tied the score
in the beginning of the sixth but
its threat went for naught in the
last half when Bishop rounded the
bases from second on the over-
throw to first and won the game
for Horlochar All-Stars.
Wilson was the winning pitcher
with nine strikeouts. He walked
one, hit one and gave up eleven
hits. Stetz was the losing pitcher
coming in as a relief after two
other pitchers failed to stem the
Horlochar tide which netted nine
runs on nine hits.
Bob Horlochar All-Stars are com-
posed of players of Little League
teams from Noxen, Mehoopany,
Beaumont and Auburn Center.
The team defeated Roosevelt
Trail All-Stars 7-6 last Friday at
Noxen and on Monday night de-
feated Sullivan County All-Stars
5-3 in a thrilling game at LaPorte.
In the latter game the winners
clouted two home runs and took
two away from the losers. Right
fielder Lutz reached above the fence
to catch a drive early in the game,
made a spectacular, leaping grab
against the barrier for the final out.
Members of the Horlochar All-
Star squad are: Bean, 1b, Noxen;
June, 3b, Mehoopany; Bishop, ss,
Auburn ' Center; Stevens, c¢, Me-
hoopany; Schapper, If, Noxen; Do-
brosielski; cf, Auburn; Burke, 2b,
Auburn; Crispell, rf, Beaumont;
Wilson, p, Noxen; Garnet, p, Me-
hopany; Lutz, rf, Auburn; Benja-
min, Noxen; Weiss, p, Beaumont;
Clark, Beaumont.
Clarence Laffen, Noxen, is All-
Star manager, and Thomas Shing-
ler, Auburn, is assistant manager.
The League is named in memory
of the late Robert Horlochar of
Noxen who was one of the out-
standing pitchers to come out of
the rural area. For many years he
played with Noxen, Tunkhannock
and the old Luzerne Reds. At the
time of his death he was a part-
ner in the Horlochar & Sherwood
Bin, Gur
and
Ducklings Being Reared
The Game Commission’s duck
rearing program is again in opera-
tion at State Game Land No. 213,
in Crawford County.
The first duckling release of 1954
was made early this month. Several
thousands of mallard ducks will be
raised and liberated in out-of-the-
way ponds and marshes in Pennsyl-
vania between now and mid-
summer.
Each bird will be leg banded
before it is given its freedom. In-
formation gathered from reported
bands is valuable to the Commission
and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice in administering waterfowl
programs. Experience in past has
shown that many a duck “planted”
on Pennsylvania waters returned to
its release vicinity the following
spring. This blue print behavior
attests that survivors of fall and
spring migrations improve duck
hunters’ sport in the Keystone State.
Coordinator Named :
Wilbur M. Cramer, assistant to
the Executive Director of the Game
Commission the past few years, was
recently named Pittman-Robertson
coordinator for the state wildlife
agency. In this position he ad-
ministers development of food and
East Dallas flyed to center.
In the fifth, Heslop and Balut
singled, Federicci hit his second
triple and scored when Bellas
singled. Bellas stole second and
road home on Thomas's single
making the score 8-1. That was all
the scoring that was necessary as
Malak continued to mow down the
Luzerne batters.
Luzerne scored single runs in the
fourth and fifth, but that was the
end for them as Malak struck out
The Back Mountain Stars retaliat-
ed with one in the sixth and three
more in the seventh to make the
final score 12-3.
The Back Mountain team will
play Plymouth All-Stars at Plym-
outh this evening at six.

Junior Conservation Camp
Right now, member organizations
of the Pennsylvania Federation of
Sportsmen’s Clubs are in the process
of selecting teen-age boys to attend
the Junior Conservation Camp this
summer. Sponsoring clubs pay the
expenses of the boys they send, and
furnish transportation to and from
the camp. Each of the four camp
sessions will be a 13-day duration.
The camp, being sponsored by the
eight divisions of the Federation,
indicates these organized outdoors-
men are aware of the need and
value of over-all conservation know-
ledge. The Federation sponsored
have many carryover values in
teaching our youth about conserva-
tion and later . influencing the
thinking of adults in the respective
communities.
The camp is intended for high
school sophomore boys who are
leaders in their schools and inter-
ested in furthering their conserva-
tion education. At the camp they
learn: the wise use of our natural
resources; to profit from a rich
camping experience;
steps toward becoming conservation
leaders and therefore of service in
home communities; to live, work and
play together and to develop inter-
ests in outdoor activities. ;
Each camp schedule is crowded
with lessons in conservation, inter-
spersed with recreation periods and
educational field trips. Good disci-
pline is maintained without apparent
lessening of the boys’ enjoyment.
Attendees are housed at the Fores-
try Camp of The Pennsylvania State
University. This rustic unit is
located 15 miles southwest of the
town of [State College. The boys’
camp is under ‘the experienced
leadership of C. W. Stoddart, Jr., of
The Pennsylvania State University.
Protects Dog, Forgets Safety
This spring, a hunting story with
a wry twist came up. It unfolded in
testimony given at a hunting acci-
dent hearing before a Game Com-
mission official. .
It seems a man who feared some-
one might mistake his dog for wild
game took every precaution to pro-
tect it. He tied bright ribbons and
tinkly bells over the animal last
fall, from tooth to tail.
You've probably guessed it. When
the considerate man and his dumb
companion sallied afield in small
game season the dog came through
unscathed. The hunter, forgetting
his own safety, walked into the line
of fire as his companion pulled the
trigger. Result: fine shot wounds
in his legs, side and arm.

In Fifth Inning
East Dallas Shellaked Dallas
11-3 in a game that was called at
the end of four and a half innings
because of darkness at East Dallas
Field Monday evening.
East Dallas scored five runs in
the first with only one hit as Land-
messer led off with a base on balls,
Thomas singled, Sholtis walked to
load the bases. Dickson was safe
at first on a fielder’'s choice with
Bellas being cut down at the plate.
Steinhauer walked to force the first
run in. Root who was having a lot
of trouble finding the plate, was
then relieved by Berti who walked
another run in. Lewis was safe on
a fielder’s choice with another run
scoring. Lasher walked to force in
the fourth run_ Berti was then re-
lieved by Root who immediately
walked in the fifth run. Thomas
struck out to end the inning.
East Dallas came back again in
the second to score three more runs
on five bases on balls, a single and
a fielder’s choice. They also scored
a single run in the third “before
Dallas hit the scoring column.
With singles by Finn, Harris and
Mosier, Dallas scored a run in their
half of the fourth.
Two more runs crossed the plate
for East Dallas in their half of the
fourth making the score 11-1.
Dallas scored two in the top half
of the fifth before the game was
called because of darkness. When
Coolbaugh had a double with Tho-
mas following him with a double
to left. Finn singled to drive in
Thomas and Richards singled as the
game was called.
The game will not be replayed as
the team leading after four innings
is the winner.

Arthus T. Biondi, some grown-ups
who hunt and fish in Mercer County
should feel ashamed.
Here he tells why. “The Boy
Scouts of this section built stiles so
that fishermen could cross farmers’
fences without breaking them down.
At all parking areas and bridges the
Scouts are putting out 50-gallon
drums for garbage and trash left by
hunters and fishermen. The Scouts
empty all such drums and clean up
cans, bottles or what have you the
I-don’t-care outdoorsmen noglest to
put in the containers.
“It’s getting pretty bad when boys
have to follow men around and
clean up after them,” says Biondi.
“But the [Scouts have one thing in
mind: they want a place for them-
selves and their kids to hunt and
fish when they grow up.”
FEW SNOWY OWLS
Naturalists prophesied that snowy
owls would invade Pennsylvania last
winter. The last visit of snowys
was in the winter of 1949-50.
Almost regularly at four-year inter-
vals the great, ghostlike birds
migrate southward from their arctic
homes. Their migrations have close-
ly coincided with the cyclic die-offs
of lemmings, mouse-like creatures
that are the principal diet of
SNOWYS.
In their mative habitat, snowy
owls have had little experience
with man, therefore are quite un-
afraid. Unlike our great horned
owl, which is comparable in size and
frequents forested areas where it
hunts mainly at night, the white
invaders come into cities, perch on
poles or buildings and seek small
animal life in daylight.
Not many persons saw Snowy
owls in Pennsylvania last winter,
however. Only a few of the periodic
visitors were reported.

Mrs. Estelle Bassler
For six years Jerry Scott, son of
Mr .and Mrs. Robert H. Scott of
Lehman, has had an ambition to
own and operate the Huntsville Rec-
reation Center. Beginning Monday,
he realized ‘his dreams, with the
Center changing hands, due to illness
of the former owner-managers, Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Lewis.
Jerry's, wide circle of acquain-
tances, his musical talent and the
Scott Orchestra will be a big help in
building up the business. His par-
ents will assist for a time, and his
wife. the former Julia Updyke,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Palmer
Updyke, will be a permanent part-
ner in the undertaking.
Parents, says Jerry, may rest as-
sured that their teen-agers will be
exposed to nothing that will harm
them. Plenty of games and recrea-
tion, dancing, snacks, soft drinks,
but absolutely no liquor of any kind.
Jerry graduated from Lehman
High School in 1948, enlisted in the
army in 1951, the day his brother
Robert entered the service, and
served in Korea for nineteen months
with the ASA. He was married just
before leaving for Korea. The couple
spent the remaining term of enlist-
ment in California after Jerry re-
turned from Korea. For the past
two months they have been making
their home with the Scotts.
Classmates of Jerry who remem-
ber him as short and slight, view
his present near-six foot stature with
amazement. But even in High
School nobody tangled with Jerry
without due deliberation. Jerry
compensated for lack of height by
developing muscle, working on push-
Defeats Jackson
Hold 22 Game
Lead Over Jackson
Shavertown scored seven runs in
the second inning and went on to
smother Jackson 8-0 in a Teen-Age
League game played on East Dallas
Field Tuesday evening. The game
was called at the end of six because
of darkness. Shavertown now holds
a 2% game bulge on their closest
rival.
Malak, who started the game for
Jackson, did so in his usual fashion
by striking out the side in the first.
Balut led off the Shaver second
with a single, stole second and came
home when Eckert singled, Eckert
going down to second when the
play was made at home. Hons and
Lukasavage walked to load the
bases. Federicci singled and went to
second as the play again was made
at home with two runs scoring and
leaving men on 2nd and 3rd. Ivan-
itch was safe on an error as run
number 4 crossed the platter. Dy-
mond struck out and Heslop was
safe on an error at first when the
fifth run scored. With two out,
Ivanitch on third Heslop went to
second and both men scored when
Balut hit a fly to deep center in
which the center field dropped.
Strausser struck out to end the in-
ning with the score at 7-0.
Jackson was able to do little with
the offerings of “Sal” Federicci as
he limited them to five hits, strik-
ing out eleven and walking one.
The best inning Jackson had was
the second, getting two singles and
a hit batsman to load the bases
with two out. Williams struckout
to end that threat. Malak retired
to shortstop to start the third be-
cause of a sore arm. Radinovitch
took over on the mound.
Shavertown scored their final
ups until he was nothing but solid
steel spring.
Jerry expects to doa thriving
business at Huntsville. He loves
kids, likes to listen to them talk,
bends a sympathetic ear to con-
fidences and is a mine of informa-
tion which he never divulges.
Huntsville Recreation Center was
founded in 1945 and until ill health
of its proprietors curtailed its activ-
ities, was widely patronized, one of
the most popular gathering places
for young folks. Jerry expects to
cater to organizations, young folks
from church groups, and school
parties.
run in the bottom of the fifth when
Eckert hit a single, stole second
and third, Hons walked and Eckert
scored when Lukasavage hit a long
fly to center.
Lincoln and Balliet had back to
back singles to open the Jackson
sixth with Lincoln ending up on
third. Malak followed by hitting a
grounder to the pitcher, Parsons
struck out, and Lincoln was out at-
tempting to steal home to end the
game.
With about four games remain-
ing on the schedule Shavertown
will have to win one of the four to
gain at least a tie for first place.
