out-of-three games series tc
finish the 1947 season.
In earlier playoffs. Spicer won
the title in the National Divi-
sion. The two victories in the
championship series last week
made the Spicerites undisputed
title holders of the Local IL
Softball League, a feat which
they accomplished two years in
a row.
There were 10 softball teams
in the Local IL League, which
was divided into the American
and the N a t onal Divisions.
When the regular season was
finished, playoffs were held for
the first four teams in each
Division to determine the two
leaders who would compete for
the championship.
In the final game, played
Tuesday night at st. Johns

a clear 3 to l victory over Willy
Overland after seven innings of
fast, clean, and sensational soft
ball. Lenny Dombrowski, WHY'S
pitching ace, was on the mound
for the autoists while manager
Harvey Robedeau selected Ralph
Wingate to twirl for the Ma

largest crowd ever to witness a
softball game at the Bancroft

tendance at the game.
Lenny Dombrowski was In
fine pitching form and allowed
the winning Spicerites only two
hits. In the fourth inning, Lenny
struck out five opponents, two

running on the third strike. Be-
cause of an injured hand it was
difficult for catcher Mike Cottey
to hold the great speed of the
WHY'S pitcher. The runs were
scored by Spicer on passed balls.
Ralph Wingate gave WHY'S
only five scattered hits in the
game, including a three Dagger

and appear to go mad. Truth
fully, mad dog cases are more
common in cold weather but
due to the prolonged heat OF
the summer, dogs sometimes,
like people, just get so miser-
able they want to bite some
thing or somebody and some
times do.

If have been bitten by
a POISONOUS snake there will
be no question about it after
a few minutes but it just
doesn't pay to wait for the
developments. A poisonous
bite will become very hot and
feverish and will begin to
swell. If the venom in the
wound can be removed with
in an hour after the bite
there is little actual danger,
except from wound infection
which should be treated the
same as any OF er open
wound of similar size.
The m p o r t a n t part of
snakebite treatment is the re-
moving of the venom. Con-
trary to popularized opinion,
the cure for snakebite is not
carried in the hip pocket.
The quickest way to die after
a poisonous bite is to take a
drink of alcoholic beverages.
This will finish you in a hur-
ry since it is said to increase
the pumping system which
circulates your blood through
your body. This is just exact
ly what you don't want to
happen.
First you tie a ligature,
tourniquet style, above the
bite. A short piece of rope,
shoestring, or n e * ii are
usually readily available. This
will keep the venom from
circulating through the blood
stream and into your heart.
Now you don't have to be a
surgeon to take out your
pocket knife or a razor blade
and make an incision that
will connect the two we'll
identified fang marks. Best of
all, make a plus mark
through each hole and con-
meet the two holes. 1t may
sound gruesome but it's a
great deal kinder than what
will happen to you if you
don't.
