Sunday, July 49,

The Owls finally broke the Lam
caster ball park jinx on Sunday
afternoon and they did good job
of it, taking both ends of the double
header, winning the nine-inning first
game, 6 to 4, behind the fve-hit
pitching of Eddie Owcar, and taking
the second game, to 2, with Bill
Stratton setting down the Red Roses
with four hits.
The 1eftfeld hitters of Lancaster
were fairly well handcuffed by Ow-

the first game. Stratton also stopped
them in the second game until the
seventh frame, when third sbaseman
Zach clouted one over, to give the
Red Roses their second run.
Up to the seventh inning, Stratton

1t was good to find out that there
was no truth to the rumor that the
Morris Frock Post Junior Baseball

American Legion district playoffs

Those youngsters, under Emory

be best illustrated by relating a

Swanson opened the inning with
a double to center. OWcar then hit

safe and Emery and the rest of the
Harrisburg players put up terrific
howl Up in the press box there
was quite discussion as to whether
Swanson had slid in under the
throw, or whether Emery had made
an error on the play.
Finally, since there was quite g
difference of opinion on the play

officially, and that's exactly what he
did After talking to Emery and
Swanson he ruled that there was
no error on the play and that Emery
had failed to tag Swanson emery

tagged Swanson, and Calm con-
firmed that.

There has been in progress
for q long time a struggle be-

ans in the Greek-Turkish Near
East area. AS a matter of fact,
this struggle has continued for
centuries. The Russians have
been trying to get access to the
DaFdenelles, which is the outlet
to the Mediterrean from the
Black Sea upon which the Rus
sian homeland lies. This had Of
ten been called the Battle of the
Dardenelles.
The Russians won the Darde-
neiles and constantinople as we'll
from the Turks in a war about the
middle of the last century. But
the British and the French nav;es
went into the Black Sea, sank
the Russian fleet, and refused
to allow the Russians to claim
the fruits of their victory. The
British and the French promised
the Russians the Dardenelles for
going in on their side in World
War !. The Russians went into
the war, lost two and a kali
million killed and two and a hall
million wounded before they gol
out with their revolution in 1917,
but Lenin's government was not
at that time seeking territory
and never asked for the Darde-
