SheIIatk
Dairy, III
Millermen Foil
by Woyside on
Their First Try

Terrace Gardens broke into
the win column in the Junior
Softball League last night at
Griffith Field and did so with
an impressive IL to / victory
over Miller's Dairy. The win
gave the Terracemen a 500 per-
centage while last nights con-
test marked the first start for
Miller's.
After retiring the side in the
first inning, Tiny Rickert, Dairy
hurler, started to have trouble
and it stuck with him through
out the remainder of the game.
The Gardeners collected one run
in the second frame, two in the
third, another in the fourth, two
more in the fifth and finished
with a six-run rally in the sew
enth stanza.
The Dairy outfit could do
little in the way of run-scoring
and was held in check in all but
one inning by Claude Meldrum,
Terrace Gardens twirler. Three
singles and a double were the
only Safeties the Millermen
could produce.
The lone Dairy tally was
counted in the fourth inning.
Bob Paille singled TO open the
session and took third on Joe
Kroon's two-bagger. An error
permitted Paille to cross the
plate. Two bases on balls filled
I the bases with two out but Mel
drum got rid Of the next batter
before any more damage was
done.
SCHWARB SCORES
The first Terrace Gardens run
was made by Eugene Schwaro
He doubled, took third on a
passed ball and scored after Mel
drums fly was caught in left
field.
Doubles by Bob Regal and
John Kustak and a single by
Gary Lozon accounted for the
two third-inning Terrace scores
while interference put Bill Bow
ling on base in the fourth frame
and Don Whalen's double got
him around. An error and three
singles were good for two more
Italics in the fifth stanza.
Eleven batters went plate
ward in the last-inning Terrace
Gardens rally. A cluster of errors
on the part of several Dairy
players greatly aided the Ter
race cause and coupled with a
base on balls, single by Mel
drum and two-base pokes by
Schwartz and Don Strumpfer,
the uprising netted six markers.
Four Terrace batters ended
up with two hits apiece. Lozen,
j Kustak and Schwartz each had
four while Whalen batted 1000
with single and double in two
tries. Kroono captured batting
honors on the Dairy club with a
single and double in three plate
appearances.

Club very interesting talk about
the Balkan Peninsula Tuesday
evening at Hotel Huron. Mr.. Ger

He started with the history OF

Most of the conflict throughout the
years has been fight between
the large powers in Europe such as,
Russia, England and Germany to
