PONTES-CIVILTAS
 FIGHT FOR TITLE
Aviglianese Ousted From Further Play in Italian-
 American Loop

Joe Rinaldis fifth inning triple with the bases loaded gave the PonteS 5-2 playoff game Saturday against the Aviglianese and a place in the Italian American league fi- nals against the Civiltas. The Civil tas need one victory over the Pon- tes to annex the championship, but a Ponte's victory will mean another and final game.
 Bill Belloti, Ponte's hurler, did brilliant work, allowing no hits in the last six innings of play, and that paired with the lead set by Rinaldi's fruitful triple, meant well-earned victory.
 Score by innings:
 Pontes ............1 10l 030 00x-5 Aviglianese .... OH 900 0O0-2

East Mountain Golf (S)Putters
(By PETE SLICER)

One of the best exhibitions of golf that has been seen in quite time was flashed before gallery of three hundred golf-minded people who went up to East Mountain Sunday to see the match between Frank Faul, local pro, and Jack Strew, of Fcquabuck, against Bud Geoghehan, Highland pro, and Al Lubutis, Chase pro. Led by the par breaker, Frank Paul, the team of Frank and Jack came out on top and 1.
 Frank was out in 32, one under par, and in in 36, one over. Frank pared the first four holes and bird- led the fifth and finished the first nine the rest of the way even with par. Going out he ran into trouble on the tough 11th and took a six. However, he birdied the next and took pars on all the rest to come in one over. Frankie's putting was nothing short of phenomenal, sink ing butts ranging from 30 feet down to IS with ease.
 The medal scores of the foursome were Frank Paul 68, Jack Strew IT, Bud Geoghehan 73, Al Labutis "A. Jack Strew had tough luck all the way getting into trouble on several holes, but his ability to come out of rough saved him a few strokes. Bud was in the fight all the time, shoot ing nice golf all through the match. Buds second shot on the 10th land- ed four feet from the pin and he ran down the putt for a birdie 3. Buds putt on the 7th along with Jack Strew's putt on the 18th were tops for the afternoon, both being at least 30 feet. Al Labutis found the greens quite difficult missing short puts on several of the greens. Al seems to have his trouble on the Municipal course for we know he is better than his scores show up at East Mountain.
 Drew Connolly did fine job as referee of the match and deserves praise for his fine job. Marty Monti also should come forward for his bow, for it was Marty that arranged this successful exhibition. Last but not least we all thank the fellows who were in the match, all are swell sports.
 Flash! Flashl The team of George Bergin and Jack Kearney, Jr. took the measure of Bill Egan and John Bergin over the weekend. When George keeps his head down. WATCH OUT! We don't think Bill and John will ever live this defeat down. They came into the club houes looking lower than snakes stomach. Cheer up, fellows, look at the two good men that beat youl
 We would like to know what hap pened to Marty Monti on the 10th tee Saturday, when he swung at the ball and missed 1t by two feet and the next minute he was sprawled down at the foot of the tee looking foolish.
