Midget Mines
Battle For
Crown
BY SID KATZNELL

The spotlight in the National
City Baseball League Sunday will
be focused on the youngest players
in the circuit, the midgetS.
At II o'clock on the spacious
South EllipSe, Nationwide Gro
GERS and Versis Products will
battle for the first half cham
pionship Of the midget division.
Each team has emerged victorious
four times and tasted defeat once.
Eddie Samperton and Cecil Oar
den will form the battery for the
Grocers. A little Irish lad who
answers to the name OF James
O'Brien will pitch to Arthur Miller,
stocky catcher, for Versis.
Sons Of Famous Players
Two sons of former famous
sandlot ball players hold down
regular positions for Nationwide
Grocers. They are Eddie Giova-
netti, son of "Gibby" Giovanett1,
the outstanding catcher on the
local sandlots a decade ago, and
George Ortel, jr., son OF George
Ortel, ST., who was considered
one of the best outfielderS just
seven years ago.
AS a result of Vic Gauzza
awarding the Union Printers the
is to 4 game they lost to the
Blue Flames last Sunday, the
Printers and the Heurich Brewers
ended in a tie for second place
in the first half series OF Section
A of National City Leagues I'M
limited division. Each captured
five games and dropped two.
Gauzza, who is the Judge
Lands of the National City
League, awarded the game to
Union Printers because the Blue
Flames allowed an ineligible man,
Tony Burruto, to participate in
the game last Sunday.
Printers Lose Again
Union Printers lost another
game yesterday. They bowed to
the fast Heurich Brewers, 8 to 6,
in the Industrial League. Ralph
Bonnie, who has been playing
ball since he was able to walk,
led the attack for the Brewers
with three for three, including
two-bagger and a three-bagger.
