Second Hand Catch

OGALLALA, Neb. - (P) -
George Hoover of Ogallala says he
wouldn't tell this fish story except
that he had two witnesses. He had
snagged a 21-inch rainbow trout,
But it was a second hand catch.
The trout previously had been
hooked by someone else. The brok-
en- leader still hung from the fish's
mouth. HOover's hook had caught
in the eyelet of one of the sinkers
on the broken leader. The fish was
alive but it scrappiness was gone
when Hoover reeled him in.

Meeting Ends

The biggest harness meeting
in the long history of colorful
old Fort Miami closed out five
week stand Saturday with a
sparkling card of nine dashes
sending the standard breds on
their way after string of gilt
tering performances.

meeting, October Is through
October 81.
The top trotters and PAGERS as
well as the leading drivers of the
meeting were out in force in the
final bid for cash and glory.

Seo+ty Irvine
In Hospifol

Victor "Scotty" Irvine, man
ager of the Local II Softball
League and also pilot of the Lo-
cal IL All-Stars for the past two
seasons, is convalescing in Riv-
erSide hospital from injuries
which he received during an
"old-timers" softball game last
Sunday
The grand old man. of the
Toledo district softball circles
strained the blood vessels in his
legs when he drove a mighty
wallop into the outfield and
started to run around the bases,
His legs gave way beneath him
and he fell to the ground, writh-
ing in pain,
Attendants at Riverside Hos
pital said that "Scotty" would
be confined there for about two
weeks. His personal medical adj
wiser added that Brother Irvine
would be limited to one game
each year.
Because of the fact that man
ager Irvine is in the hospital,
team standings and schedules
were not readily available for
this issue of the Toledo Union
Journal, but softball managers
and players may call the Local
IL Recreation Director for any
further information.

NoondoY Roce
Gets Close

AS the MONDAY Local IL
Softball League schedule nears
completion, Red Mcdonald, man
ager, thinks that it will be a
two-way tie for first place in
the standings.
Spicer Unit took an early lead
in the standings and held first
place during the season, but the
National Supply team kept a
steady threat to the leaders,
In the only game played, Tues
day, at the C.YO, Field, the
hustling National Supply defeat
ed the Airway Electric by the
score of 10 to / and came within
one game of tie with Spicer,
During this spirited contest, Will
bur Wohlgemuth drove a home
run for the victorious Nationals
with two teammates on bases.
AL Lohbauer, who has made
a great name for himself in sew
eral years of softball competi-
ton, was the mainstay of the
National Supply team through
out the season. Lohbauer's fine
pitching against some of the
most powerful batters in the
League has been outstanding and
is one of the reasons why the
National Supply team is close
on the heels of the League lead
erS.
National Supply has one more
game to play-another contest
with the Airway Electric team.
If National should win this
game, a tie for first place will
have been made. If the situation
should arise, a game between the
Spicer Unit and the National
Supply will be played next Sat-
urday night at Mccarthy Sta
dunn, in Highland Park, to de-
eide the League Championship.

tests to add to the Importance
of the Intra-Union games.
The Local II All-Stars are
building up an envlaole
record of softball victories,
meeting the best teams in the
Toledo district. Scotty Irvine,
manager, and assistant coaches
Ray Sampson and Bing Crosby
have formed one of the strongest
teams to represent Local IL on
the softball diamond. The Local
500 outfit has always been one
of the strongest in Michigan and
will come here well represented
in rich softball talent. During
the last two years the Detroiters
have appeared here twice and
went home both times with
victories over the Local IL ALL
Stars.
The Local IL Girls have also
been playing fine ball and have
run up a string of eighteen vic
tories against five losses to teams
in Toledo and surrounding
towns. Walter Nino, coach of the
Local IL Girls, says that the
team is in wonderful shape and
will more than hold their own
against the best which Detroit
has to offer.
The first contest of the three
game schedule will be played
between two teams from the
MONDAY Local IL Softball Lea
que, beginning at 800 p. m.
The girls game will immediate
ly follow the opening offering
and the main attraction will be-
gin at 900 p. m.
There will be no admission
charge for the games and all
Local IL members, and their
friends, are invited to attend the
softball program which is being
arranged for their entertain
ment.

may well score in an upset vic
tory Saturday.

merous fights. Playing Coach

Then there is the story
about the Local IL member
who has been attending the
harness races at Fort Miami.
He said that he kept watching
a filly who always came in
third. Said she must have
been a show" girl.

Anyway you look at it,
Louis is going to have an
other fight. If he doesn't
fight Lesnevich, he'll have to
fight Mike Jacobs. Uncle
Mike wants the Golden Goose
to lay just one more egg. And
what an "egg" this one prom
.ises to be.
"The time just isn't pro-
pitious for Louis to quit, "
Jacobs says.

like that in the fight business
watch out.

runs to be scored against them.
In the seventh inning, Man
ager Robbins sent left handler
Bill Kelly in to relieve Peretti.
Kelly held the powerful Mill
ford batters scoreless and limit
ed them to two hits.
Trailing in the last inning, 8

Dick Berkel doubled into right

then Harry Yackel drove a long
