Two of the most sur-
prised men last weekend
were Virgil Furnar and
Vince Piazza while they
were sipping a few suds at
the Italian Ruinita Hall on
Oliver Street, Swoyers-
ville when a large gen-
tleman entered the esta-
blishment and sat down to
have a cool brew. The two
men just looked in amaze-
ment as bartender Max
Chipego served the
gentleman and proceeded
to strike up a con-
versation. The two young
men knew that they saw
this big gentleman but
couldn’t place him out of
uniform or jacket.
Max “introduced Walt
Michaels,’ coach’ of the
New York“Jets to Virgil
and Vince. Lo and behold,
Vince had a Phillie Eagle
shirt on and Walt called
him a traitor. The two
men were in awe when
Walt left as he auto-
graphed photos for them
and Max, and Walt left a
reminder of a lingering
bet for the Plug.

John hurled for Coach
George Shendock’s
Swoyersville High
baseball teams and took
several championships
for Coach Shendock and
Swoyersville. He went to
King’s College and helped
pitch Coach John Dorish
Jr’s teams to a few
pennants. While pitching
for King’s, Milius faced
the following players who
‘are now in the big
leagues, Gary Lavelle and
Ed Halicki, both with the
San Francisco Giants, Ed
Ott with California,
Randy Martz, Detroit,
and John Milner of
Montreal.

that Milius was one of the
youngest players to begin
semi-pro ball at the age of
14.
He is married to the
former Elizabeth Evan

Janelle. Milius is
associated with Connolly
