The following will probably stir
up lot of comment by the follow
ers of the various softball and
baseball teams. With the aid of
three others we picked what we
thought would be the winners Of
the various leagues in the play-off
series. OF course in a play-off like
the ones the teams are going
through 1.-TWO games knock OUT a
good team can take it on the chin
very easily. So here goes. In the
Glass A Baseball CAS.U. is the
team We picked. Mondon's Bar, al
though riding two games behind in
the seasons play, have not the team
that the sailors have.
In the Junior Old Timers, Lens
Inn is the team to beat. Although
there will be two strong teams bat
ting the leaders, Elmers Inn and
Oak Cafe. We think that Oak Cafe
will be the runner up.
Glass A Softball-The Wyandotte
Chemicals team. This was quite
league TO try and pick a winner.
With Wayne Recreation showing
the strength they have in the past
lew weeks and Band Box Cleaners
coming in the way. they have the
series should be tight. In a short
game series we have picked the
chemical boys on the pitching.
Old Timers Club League-The
Fraternal Order of Eagles. No op-
position for the team in this league.
Should win very easily.
Open League Old Timers-Unable
to agree until after games of Aug
ust 8.
Major baseball - No question
here-Barney's Bar. No competition.
Major softban-Modern Flower.
Although second in the season s
play the team should win the play
offs.
Now the above will undoubtedly
cause lot Of comment but it has
been picked by three of the bows
who follow baseball and softball
quite closely and OF course I had
to get in on the deal So watch and
see what happens.
A little bit about C.A.S.U. the
Glass A Baseball winner:
The Navy boys. under the leader
ship of 1t. Sam Hammerstrom and
Coach Chief Myers had a great
season, winning 16 games and losing
but two. They have a fine hitting
and fielding team with good pitch
ing. One of their best pitchers. ia
worski, was shipped out but recent
ly little left handler, Chounard
from Illinois looks very good. Also
Earey. a Semi-pro from New York
Will bolster their pitching consid-
erably.
Schmidt, centerfielder, came from
the Pacific Coast League and has
played great ball in the league.
Ermisch. first baseman from Con-
necticut, is leading the team in
hitting with 376 and Pavek, 2nd
paseman, has hit in 81 straight
games and is hitting 33s. Holmes
shortstop, Harrington. leftfielder
leader in runs batted in; Bonnetti
catcher and Rubaw, 3rd baseman
also are hitting over 800.
Myers, manager and pitcher was
a member of the Cardinal Farm
team before the war and has done
line job with the team this sea-
son.
The team lineup for the playoffs
will be:
Holmes, IS, Pavek, 2B. Harring-
ton, If. ErmiSch 1B. Mambu RI.
Bonetti G, Schmidt CT, Rubaw 3B.
Chounard P, Eary P, Myers P, Low
