thing the Greenbelt Athletic Club Block Cham
pionships Softba1l seriess Block nc" has been
crowned Block Champs for 1870 but should doff their
hats to both and Blocks whose efforts in knock
ing off Block proved that anything happen in
softball as we'll as baseball. If had been able to
take A and they would have the championship in
walk because had dropped game to j. Even if
had copied one of these games would have created
tie and made playoff necessary and have
played mediocre ball all season but in their final
game reared their heads stated ght we'll
leave them wi tn something to remember by" And
how they succeeded will be the topic of conversation
oy the Hot Stove League during the long winter even
ings to
Block started off with a bang On Tuesday night
when they collected 9 9 hits while was
collecting only runs the number of hits.
Moore and Pclney of the AS had 2 for 3. carson's
home in the sixth the blow that really broke
the cmel's back. In all fairness to j they
somewhat handicapped for 2 innings because they
could only put men on the field.
Thursday night could offer for being
beaten by because they had the strongest pos sible
team that could be fielded. For innings it looked
like was a sure winner; they were leading at
this point to o. In the fourth gathered in
run, then In the fifth and In the sixth to go
and win in of the biggest upsets of the year.
Final score' E-7, is. Reamy pitched fine game al
lowing only hits; oh, yes, by the way, he also
socked home in the fl fth that helped his cause
no end You should have John McWi Jams smile
when he knocked in, what turned to be, the win
ming run in the sixth inning. In summing it all up
the past has been very successful and good
time was had by all.
Things that confuse Who you have to be or
what you have to do to receive recognition from
"Greenbelt Biographies" Hall of Outstanding
Greenbelt Residents. How the of Ben
Goldfaden, Vince HolochWost, Johnny Bozek, Larry
Pckney, Curt Barker, John Messner, Buck WI ll1ms,
Bill Moore Bill Neblett and many others whose
escape me at the moment to make the afore
mti oned features of the Cooperator. These fellows
have all made quite a for themselves on the
athletic field of of the most famous ges
in the country. Not only that but they also OBJ
tanned high honors in the class Their ath1et
ic efforts here at Greenbelt have brought favorable
comments from out of town papers and has made the
name "Greenbelt" synonymous wi tn fair play and
sportmanshdp. per sonally believe they have
done great deal of good for the town and deserve
as much recognition as those who belong to social,
civic and coopTatives groups
George Panagoulis, popular Police Officer, is
great friend of "Birdie" Tebbets, Detroit catcher.
George has been wearing a big smile since Detroit
won the American League race. He expects nBirdie"
to visit him wi thin the next few weeks. Maybe George
is anticipating helping "Birdie" spend Id slice Of
the World Series money......
How j Block md ssed Curt Barker in this past SER
les. With the excellent type of fielding turned
in if they had any kind of fair pitching they would
have been cinch to capture the block tdtle......
The mem s bowling league has rule that only in
the case of 81 c0ness emergency subs ti-
tuition may be made. WELL for the first time since
its inception thi rule called into play when
Leo Mullen of the Dodgers had accident that en-
barrassed Leo no end. 1t is suggested that Prest-
dent Lastner recommend the purchase of pair of
coveralls so that In the future if any of the bowl
ers have accident the emergency Will be fuzzy
eredss....

underneath the fireplace at the clubhouse. The

cellent job of extinguishing the fire that caused
slight damage. TITS surprising how a crowd can
