The biggest upset OF the sea-
son came close to being written
into the record books last Friday
evening when Beuschlein's Tav-
ern came within a hairs breadth
OF tripping up Super Cleaners at
Consumers Power diamond.
The surprise victory was not to
be, however, as the Cleaners
pulled the game out of the fire
with a two-run rally In the last
of the seventh and ended up on
the long end of a Sd score.
Leading 4 to 3 as the seventh
for Supers began, the Tavern
men got rid Of the first two bat
ters and needed only one more
retirement to capture the de-
cision. The final out was never
recorded as Glenn latham sing
led to center( stole second and
third and came in on a passed
ball to tie up the game.
Valaer Deneweth followed Ia
than and walked. That set the
stage for the winning run. Clar-
ence Seibert, who has a habit of
getting hits when they mean
something, slashed a double to
center field. Deneweth, starting
with the crack of the bat, pound
ed his way around the bases and
reached the place safely to
bring an end to the game.
Beuschiein's- took -two-run
lead in the second inning as two
errors and singles by Dick
Scruggs and Dutch Phillips add
ed up to the brace of tallies.
LATHAM SCORES
The third stanza saw the
Supermen knot the count. Ia
than reached second on an err
ror, stole third and scored on
passed ball. Seibert walked,
stole second, and a passed ball
and wild pitch allowed him to
dent the plate.
Les Frederick's double in the
fifth inning with Deneweth on
second gave Super Cleaners a
one-run lead which was protect
ed until the first of the seventh
when Beuschlein's manufacture

Jack Beuschlein walked and
Scruggs singled. Each man took
a base on wild pitch. Carl Pfeil
hunted but Beuschlein was nip
ped at the plate. Scraggs crossed
the platter a moment later on a
passed ball and Gordon Belleau
scored Pfeil with a single to left.
With a victory within their
grasp, the Beuschleiners saw
Super Cleaners stage the afore-
mentioned rally and walk off
the field with another win.
Mel Frederick of Super Clean

Tavern were opposing pitchers.

Briggs
Clinic
is Held

Drawn to the park by the ap-
pearance of the champion Briggs
Bomber team of Detroit, large
gathering of softball players and
fans attended the clinic for Jun
ior League players, a game be-
tween /. 0. O. F. and Nesbitt's
Orange and an improhptu four
inning m ch between the
Bombers and I. O. o. F. players
and stars from other Junior
League -teams- held at Covered
Wagon diamond Sunday after
noon.
Putting on Q show unequalled
in softball history in Mount
Clemens, Briggs players, under
the direction of Ed Figelski,
demonstrated such phases of the
game as bunting, sliding, the
double play and pitching. The
latter department caused the
greatest sensation with the star
Briggs hurler, Swanee Holman,
throwing them high, wide and
handsome.
Holman displayed all his
pitching wares, and had the aud
fence exclaiming with his drop,
curve, riser, fast and slow ball.
All in all it was a splendid ex-
hibition and we'll worth seeing.
Special thinks 60 to Norman
Cameron, director of athletics at
Briggs, William Middleton and
Glenn latham, members Of the
l. O. o. F.
The afternoons entertainment
opened with Nesbitt's Orange
playing l. o. 0. F. The game
was battle for first place in the
Junior League which the Odd
Fellows retained by virtue of
6 to 2 triumph.
Alter holding the Orangemen
scoreless' in the top half of the
first frame, the l. O. o. F. ten
notched pair of counters in last
of the first on Marv Thoel's dou-
BILE, Jack Moore's single and an
error.
An error and Leroy Champ
ines two-bagger resulted in the
first Nesbitt run in the second
inning, but the Odd Fellows also
picked up one in this stanza
when Earl Witt and Floyd Zoel-
ling singled and an error was
made by Nesbitt player.
Three l. o. o. F. errors and
singles by Dick Rhodes and Ed
Lick gave Nesbitt's another tally
in the fourth and brought them
within a run of tying the score,
but the Lodgemen opened up in
the fifth and pushed across four
runs, enough to sew up the con-
test. In this session Chuck Phil
lips and Zoelling had singles and
Ken Monte a double.
Bill Middleton, on the mound
for l. o. o. F. gave up five hits,
struck out four and walked one
while his opponent, Rhodes, al
lowed seven safeties, had no
strikeouts and gave up nary a
base on balls.
Top hitters of the day were
Zoelling of l. o. O. F. with two
and Lick of Nesbitts with two
singles in three tries.
Following this game the clinic
was held then the Briggs team
played two innings against the
I. o. o. F. team and two against
a group of all-stars composed OF
Junior League players. The
Bombers walked off with the de-
cision, 8 to 1. The lone All-Star
run was scored by Norbert
Baumgarten of D. N. Cooley.
Following the games, the
Briggs team gave away several
softballs and sweat shirts TO,
some of the young softballers
who were in attendance.

Wos Sd in
Fourth Inning

Members of Froh Trucking,
Major League softball team, can
blame Bernie A)ore. Covered
Wagon second baseman for the
Truckers still being without a
victory. 1t was Azores bat that
spelled defeat for Froh after the
Hauling Concern had taken q
S to 3 lead in the fourth inning

last night.
With Bill Allor on third base
in the last of the fourth, Bernie
drove a triple to right field to
send Allor in and he crossed the
plate moment later on q passed
ball.
Two frames later with the
score tied at Sail, Alore again
tripled, this time with Harold
Redloske on first base, and 1t
was. this run that won the game.
Alore was credited with a sin
gle in his first time at bat to
leave the park with 1000 bat
ting average.
Froh took an early lead by
tallying twice in the top half of
the initial StanZa on Loren
Stearn's triple, Dick Burback' 5
single and a Covered Wagon
misplay.
START WITH THREE
The Trailers came back strong
in the last of the opening frame
to push over three scores. Two
bases on balls and singles by
RedloSke, Alore and AL Turoski
accounted for the markers.
Singles by Burback and Joe
Lozon and AL Froh's two-basc
knock was good for two more
runs for the Truckers in the
third inning and singles by Tom
Moore and Jim Frink and a
fielder's choice in the fourth
provided the Froh ten with its
final counter.
1t was at this point that Mr..
AlOre took over and provided
the aforementioned game-win-
ming hits.
Ralph Haughton, Covered
Wagon left fielder, also wound
up with 1000 batting average.
He tripled in the second inning
and walked in his other time at
bat. Burback, with two singles
in three tries, led the Froh team
at the plate.

Hill Asks Showdown
0nWhat Atomic Bomb
|WhI Do 10 BattIeship

A showdown test of what an
atomic bomb will do to a battle
ship was demanded yesterday by
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama.
He wants test to help Congress
decide on appropriations for United
States warships.
The Democratic whip said he will
introduce legislation Tuesday di-
recting the Navy to prepare surren-
dering japanese warships for such
tests.
Our Navy has said it wants to
keep l,o79 ships af1oat in peace
time" the Alabama Senator said.
TT wants to keep Is battleships in
fighting shape.
Maybe the Navy is right in
thinking the battleship isn't out
moded by the atomic bomb. Maybe
the battleship will continue to serve
a useful purpose Frankly, I don't
know and I don't think any one in
Congress does"
Senator Hill pointed out that the
atomic bomb has not been tested on
f1oa ating tarkets. He said experts
don't seem to agree whether it will
be devastating above. on or under
the water as it was in the destruc-
ton of two japanese cities.
1T is something that our military
and naval men ought to know and
I think Congress is mighty inter-
ested in the matter, too" he said.
To emphasize the overall char
acter of the proposed tests, Senator
Hill said he would ask that his
measure be assigned to both the
Military and Naval Affairs Commit
tees for study. He is member Of
the Military Affairs Committee.
Congress already has before 1t a
naval authorization bill which would
put a bottom under the peacetime
Navy at l,o79 fighting ships. The
House Naval Affairs Committee al
ready has approved the measure
Senator Hill said he thought the
atomic bomb test ought to be made
before the measure is acted on.
