What's by Bridgette Correale The week of June 17 and our Little Leaguers were giving all they have on the fields, in the dugouts, in their driveways and if you have one like mine, in the den. From September to March, I hear the thump, thump, of a basketball-April to August, the crackling sound of a pitched rubber ball, and I'm afraid to be around when he starts with football. Monday evening the Dallas 8-5. Rick Wilson was the win- ning pitcher and his teammate Up In Little Bryan Muldoon, hit two home- runs, one in the first inning and the other in the fourth. Fernbrook Yankees took a win from Shavertown Red Sox 11-2 with Clarke Lewis pitching. Lehman Cardinal’s Wayne DeCessaris started the Wednes- day night game between Leh- homerun. With the pitching of Jim Michaels, the Cards beat the Giants 8-6. In the bottom half of the sixth inning the Giants scored three of their six runs, and if they only had two Seven boys from the Back Mountain area enjoyed the first week of Coach Ed Donohue’s sixth annual basketball camp at the King’s College gym in Wilkes-Barre. They heard a number of basketball experts, but the highlight was last Thursday when the great Calvin Murphy of the Houston Rockets of the NBA visited with the young- sters and worked out with them. He gave them numerous tips on the art of dribbling and showed his super speed in going from one basket to the other with the ball. .

Shavertown Orioles defeated the Fernbrook Yankees 16-6. It was a close game up until the third inning, the score was 5-5, and some Yankees fans were hoping this would be their first win, but? : The Dallas Reds defeated the Westmoreland Indians, 10-7. After a while you try to think up words to describe a win other than defeated, beat and so on, My seven-year old Adele did it for me with this paragraph— she came running inside saying “Lehman Cards creamed the Dallas Dodgers 16-5.” All I could think of at that time was creamed corn all over the field, and if so it certainly didn’t affect Mark Boyle's hitting. v4 The following have been assigned positions on the summer recreation staff: Westmoreland School - Russell Johnson.

The schedule slates eight games at home, including two with arch rival Seranton, and five on the road. The opener is July 20 against the Wyoming Valley Giants at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium. The two new entries into the Seaboard Football League are Bridgeport = Jets, former members of the Atlantic Coast Football League. The two are sure to add formidable opposi- tion to an already strong league. Boston won the ACFL Cham- pionship in 1973. Bridgeport has for a long time maintained close ties with the New York Jets, picking up many Jet reserves. The Atlantic Coast League has long been regarded as an in- formal farm system for many of the established National Foot- ball League teams.
