IL Baseball
Team Divides
Weekend Bill

The Local IL baseball team
divided a twin weekend bill as
they defeated the strong jim
White VFW team at Ottawa
Park, Saturday, and then lost tc
the classy Swantack Improvers
nine at the same park on Sun
day afternoon. In the Jim White
encounter, the Local IL players
acquired 13 runs from ID hits
as their opponents had 5 runs
and z hits for the days efforts
Jake Hussman was on the
mound for the Union team anc
Ray Helvey was his battery
mate. Dorman Stecker was the
big gun in the Local IL attack
against the Jim Whites as he
accounted for five hits in six
trips to the plate. Pete Sever.
hoff, Bud Cooper, Dick Berkel
and Bill Haffelder each got two
hits to help with the scoring
barrage.
Pete Severhoff, Local IL Sec
ond baseman, gave the crowd q
thrill when he made a diving
stab of a grounder to retire the
runner. The Local IL team
made five double plays In the
game and this is believed to be
a record of double plays In one
contest for Toledo Amateur
Baseball Federation.
In the Local 12-Swantack
Improvers contest the latter
players had a great day at bat
getting II runs off is hits,
while the Union team could
collect only 7 runs from 7 hits
Several Local IL errors were
costly and accounted for most
of the Swantack runs.
Bob Helvey was the starting
pitcher and his brother, Ray,
was behind the plate for Local
IL, but the Improvers were too
powerful and Helvey was re.
lieved In the third inning by
manager Joe Schuette.
Local l2's big inning was the
fifth when catcher Ray Helvey
connected for a circuit clout
with two teammates on bases.
1t looked like a big rally, but
the opponents were right" that
day and the rally was cut short.
The Local IL baseball team
will journey TO Stoney Ridge,
Sunday, where it will play a
double-header with the team of
that neighboring community.
The first game will start at
1870 p. m. and the other will fol-

The New York Yankees,

by a comfortable margin, are
contradicting the old baseball
theory that the team win

pennant." The Yanks,
through their first 104 games,
had lost II games by one run
compared to the IS they had
won by that slim margin.

Victor John Raschi, the
New York Yankee rookie who
through Aug. 6 had won five

trouble forgetting an error he
made while pitching for Bing-
hamton of the Eastern League
last year. Within one putout
of a no-hit, no run game, Vic
committed an error on an
easy chance to put the batter
on first. The next hitter
slammed a homer that cost
him the game.

Another no-hit no-run game
was offered to the large crowd
when Wiggy Keeler turned in
such a mound performance as
the Spicer Unit defeated the
Champion Spark Plugs to the
tune of 6 to 0 in a National Di-

Softball League. A few errors,
plus the fine performance of
Keeler, were costly to the
Champion Unit.
The surprise of the evening
came when the Schultz Die

slants of Gunner Walstrom for
six runs in the fourth inning.
Bob Packard relieved Wal

Scales and held the Die Casters
scoreless for the remainder of
the game.
In the last inning, with a we'll
earned victory in sight, but with
the bases loaded with Scale
players, Manager Eddie Polo
sent Len Michalak in to replace
Ollie Dramczyk as pitcher for
the Die Casters. Michalak
promptly retired two Scale bats

game series for the League

In the League playoffs Tues
day night, in the American Di-
vision, the Acklin Stamping
Unit smothered the Gordon
Bumper nine in surprise IL
to victory at st. Johns Field.
A large crowd saw the second
place Acklinites administer a
beating to the fourth place
Bumper outfit. At the beginning
of the season, the Gordon
Bumpers won seven games in a
row and looked like a sure bet
for the Division championship,
but by the end of the regular
season, the Willys-Overland
team had forged ahead and
finished in first place.
Dorman Birthwright an d
Ziggy Genenski both hit home
runs for Acklin off the pitching
of Walter Wodarski, who had
relieved Bill Caswell on the
mound for Gordon Bumper.
In the other game in the
American Division the WHY'S

7TH-DAY ADVENTIST DUCK SHOOTING x WORK, NORTH, TOLD VERY LIKELY TO BE AT PORTLAND MEET CUT, COMING SEASON

Progress of Seventh-day Adven- list work in Alaska was listed Jan nary 23 by Elder E. E. Jensen, SUI psrintenGent of the Alaska mission with headquarters in Juneau, at the quadrennial session for the North west under way until January 26 in Portland.
 He commented that Alaska has undergone great changes ill the past five years because of the ex- tensive army installations and im- proved air facilities. Almost every community now has air service.
 The problems in mission work were outlined in the report by the difficulties encountered in contact ing the II companies of believers. A distance of 5000 miles by the way the crow flies must be covered to complete the circle of visits.
 He listed the tithe turned into the churches there as nearly trip hAAS HI AANC gtolo lo P1oftAos 1AAAS amount was turned in by the 296 Adventists in the area
 He pointed out that Alaska re- ceived a terrible blow last summer as the result of the shipping strike. Many farmers and business men were ruined as the result and it will be some time before Alaska industry and economy will recover rom the setback. The gold mining industry, suspended during the war, as the result of the strike will not be able to resume for another year and only enc million of the six mil lion pounds of fish caught in the Juneau area has been moved from the cold storage facilities and fish ormen are fearful that their l947 catch will not have a market. Alas ka is facing hlack year unless things change rapidly, the minis ter pointed out, saying that the Adventists are optimistic and hop ing for better things in the Terri tory.
