May 6 — Mark it on your calen-
dar. On that day, providing Mother
Nature cooperates, Lake-Lehman
will host Dallas in what may prove
to be a very important baseball
clash. :
Dallas, at 8-0,
still must face a
very tough
G.A.R. and
Coughlin squad.
Lehman has the
likes of North-
west and Tunk-
hannock. They
stand at 6-4 and
are still. in the
thick
RODGERS
of things in the AA runner-up spot.
Comparisons of the two seem very
close.
FIRST BASE: Dallas has Dan
Ford, who is an adequate glove and
is hitting a ton (.591). Lehman has
Weidner who is very underrated, he
posseses good stick and quickness.
SECOND BASE: Dallas, A.J. Bitt-
ner, outstanding defensive second
sacker, exceptional baseball sense.
Lehman, Traver plays hist spot well
good base runner.
THIRD BASE: Dallas, Moye ade-
quate glove, adequate offense, good
all around player. Lehman, Fedor:
good defensive instincts good discip-
line at the plate.
OUTFIELD: Dallas, Dombek,
Medura, Janosik, Kwak, exceptional
speed and strong arms. Medura can
be the League M.V.P. no weakness
in any position here. Lehman,
Boyle, Dunn, George, very under-
rated, they compliment each others
style. Offensively they possess a
definite threat.
CATCHER: Dallas, Jubis good
catcher with a lot of guts. Can beat
you with a hot bat. Lehman, T.
Willy Cadwalader, Division I pros-
pect, he can do it all, including
sparking a team.
PITCHING: Dallas, a good
needed. Francis and Harris are
great control of his pitches.
a classic dog fight.
