Joseph Shaute dies :
ex-athlete, sheriff
Joseph B. Shaute, 70, 112
Park Drive, Clarks Green, a
former outstanding baseball
player and Lackawanna County
sheriff and treasurer, died Feb.
21 in Moses Taylor Hospital
after an illness.
His wife, the former Mary
Alice Ahern, died Sept. 11, 1968.
A native of Peckville, he
was graduated from Blakely
High School where he first
gained fame as a baseball pit-
cher, striking out 21 batters in
one game at the age of 16.
He attended Mansfield State
Teachers College and Juniata
College before starting his base-
ball career in the major leagues
with the Cleveland Indians.
His best season with Cleve-
land was in 1924 when he won
20 games although the Indians
finished in sixth place.
The left-handed pitcher later
played with the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. Then rather than take a
pay cut with the Cincinnati Reds
in 1934, he signed to play with
the Scranton Miners in the old
New York — Pennsylvania
League. He managed the Miners
in the 1935 season.

His 13-year major league
record was 99 wins and 109
losses.
Mr. Shaute became active in
politics while still playing ball
in the NYP League and was
Lackawanna County treasurer
for four years. His baseball con-
tract during this time was pur-
chased by the old Boston Bees
and he was farmed out to the
Hartford Laurels of the Eastern
League. Local duties kept him
from fulfilling the contract.
His contract was then ob-
tained by the Wilkes-Barre
Barons but in 1939 he asked for
and gained his release.
In 1939 he ran for and was
elected Lackawanna County
sheriff on the Democratic
ticket.
The Clarks Green resident
said in later years that Babe
Ruth was the best major league
hitter of all time.
After leaving the sheriff’s of-
fice he became a sales repre-
sentative for Zipay Motors,
* Peckville.
Son of the late Mr. and Mrs.
John Shaute, he resided in the
Abingtons most of his life. He
was a member of Our Lady of
Snows Church, Clarks Summit,
its Holy Name Society, the
Scranton Country Club, the Elk-
view Country Club, the Purple
Club of Scranton and the Mid-
Valley Old-Timers Athletic As-
sociation.

“Auction
44"
for education
Top volunteer leadership to
help WVIA-TV Channel 44 and
stage an on-the-air public auc-
tion in June was announced this
week by the educational tele-
vision station’s executives.
Regional chairmen named to
the fund raising project, de-
signed to raise money for the
non-commercial station during
a financial crisis caused by the
state senate not appropriating
funds to the department of
education, were to include
Herbert Frey in the greater
Wilkes-Barre area. Lacka-
wanna County chairman for
the event will be Donald No-
lan, Scranton, and Mrs. Albert
Margolies, Clarks Summit, as
cochairman. Two area chair-
men named for the ‘‘Auction
44” are Mrs. William Mac-
Arthur for the Abingtons and
Harry Sharpe for Tunkhan-
nock.
In announcing the filling of
some of the top auction leader-
ship posts, Jane Schautz, auc-
tion coordinator, a Clarks Sum-
mit resident, said ‘“‘we are
most fortunate that two such
fine civic leaders as Mr. No-
lan and Mrs. Margolies and
others have consented to take
on the demanding job of
leading out 1970 auction plans.
They have already begun work
with the skill and zeal in fill-
ing the other top positions of
leadership and in laying the
groundwork for the event that
will provide money to keep
Channel 44 on the air.”
In a move last week, the
Dallas Rotary Club became the
first civic organization to be-
come contributing members,
when the club unanimously
voted to donate $15 per mem-
ber to the educational station.
The station will solicit busi-
nesses, industry and people for
merchandise to be auctioned
over television. Viewers sit-
ting at home will spot the
item they want, pick up the
telephone and call in the bid.
To assure success of the auc-
tion, many volunteers are
needed to help preauction plan-
ning, station officials said. Dor-
othy Smith is coordinator of
volunteer workers and can be
reached at Channel 44.
Kiwanis send
$50 to 44
The Kiwanis Club of Moun-
taintop has forwarded a $50 '
donation to WVIA-TV Channel
44 to help the station during its
financial dilemma caused by
the failure of state legislators
to vote funds for public tele-
vision.
