first base.
Joe Schuette played good
game at right field but was re-
placed by Mike 10th in the sixth
inning. With a runner on first
base, a bail was driven to the
outfielo ard it looked like a hit
for extra bases. However, 10th
made a spectacular run n n
catch of the fly ball, and then
doubled the Unitcast runner at
first after he had taken long
leadoff.
Paul Beamer, manager of the
Local IL baseball team did a
fine job on the mound for his
team ard limited the Unitcast
.sluggers to four scattered hits.

Do you think that one man
can pull 13O-ton engine? Well,
it has been done. Six husky
CANDY dancers pulled futilely at
the 130-ton Mercury in New
York and didn't bulge it. Then
the mighty Charles Atlas put
his powerful sinews to the task
of pulling the behemoth of the
rails. Yes, he actually did pull
it 80 full feet, believe it or not,
amid the applause of hundreds
of spectators.
Keep training, you weight
liflers, and your day will come
when you can perform some un-
usual feat of strength.

I don't know of a better
way to afford a vent for pent-
up feelings and emotions
than a baseball or a football
game. If they had organized
several baseball leagues, in
stead of the League OF Ma
tions, there would not have
been a second world war.
What has made America
great? l don't think it is due
entirely to our great Consti-
tuition, it is due mostly to the
spirit of fair play which has
been developed in the youth
of our land. There never was
a cruel American soldier,
either in World War | or IL.
What the European nations
need more than anything else
is to develop the spirit OF
play, get better acquainted,
cultivate friendships an d
learn the fact that the man
you hate is the man you don't
know.
