WOMEN'S DIVISION

The Women's Division opened
their 1948-49 season on Tuesday
night at Raney's Coliseum, and some
exceptionally good scores were
turned in, with special mention to
the Pansies and the Lilacs. The
Pansies walked away with the
team honors, having the high single
game of 562 The Lilacs, however,
were a close second, with a high
single game of SIS.
Blanche Schwinger, of the Pan
sizes, took both individual honors,
with a high single game of 144 and
three game set of 379. Others, how
ever, were not far behind, as you
will see from the fine scores below,
many of which will be hard to beat
each week.

FOOTBALL

The Hagerstown Hubs, although
they lost their opening game of the
season to Charlotte Hall Military
Academy on Friday night, were far
from disgraced.
They were meeting team that is
recognized as one of the better school
teams, in the East, yet they were
able to play them on practically
even terms on the ground, lacking
only an adequate pass defense.
In the first half, when the Char
lotte Hall boys rang up three touch
downs in a hurry, the passers were
hitting the mark and the pass re-
ceivers were out in the open all the
time. And while in the second half
there was no scoring, it has got to
be admitted that it wasn't because
the Hubs had suddenly found real
pass defense, but because the Char
lotte Hall passers were not hitting
the mark, despite the fact that their
receivers were still out in the open.
Coach Senior, you will have to
admit, doesn't go after easy pick
ings for his team, but he puts them
up against just about as tough OPP
position as any high school squad
could be expected to go against, and
although, to all intents and pur-
poses, the squad is practically new,
they're going to win their share OF
games before the season is over.
In young Eddie Senior the club
has lad who not only is good
runner, but is also good passer.
He's a little light in weight, but
he's a threat every time he gets his
hands on the ball.
It was particularly good to see
the fine crowd that turned out for
the opening game, and here's hop
ing that the public will back the
team up. to the limit, win, lose or
draw.

BASEBALL
By DOUG STEWART

While the Boston Braves during
the last week practically cinched
the National League Pennant, the
American League race is still one
of the closest in years, and it may
be the final day of the season be-
fore it is known which of the three
contending teams - the Red Sox,
Yankees or Indians-will meet the
Braves in the World Series.
As T said last week, the Athletics
are out of it, but they have def
nitely cinched fourth place, which
is Just four notches higher than
practically every expert in the
country picked them to finish.

In the Interstate League play-offS,
Trenton came from behind to beat

However, as this is written (Tues-

were giving the York White Roses
a real shellacing, and only needed to
win one more game to cinch the
play-off championship. After the

The Turf Bowling
League Ends Season

Hausrath Wins Mems Cham
pionship-Pangborn Girls and
Cosmopolitan Mems Teams
Win Thomas w. Pangborn
Trophies - "FOur Canadian
Pros" Cause Sensation.
BY far the most successful season
of the Turf Bowling Lague (for
both men and women) came to a
close at Pangborn Park on Sunday,
and the finals brought about some of
the biggest upsets of local turf bowl
ing history.
In the Mems Elimination Tourna-
ment for the 1948 Individual champ
ion, there were originally SO en-
tries, but by the time Sundays
elimination contests were held, this
field was reduced to 8. After the
first preliminary games, the semi
finalists turned out to be Stottle-
myer and Speicher (of Alsatia) and
McAdams and Hausrath (of the
Bankers). Stottlemyer defeated
Speicher in one bracket of the semi
finals, with Hausrath knocking out
McAdams in the second half. In the
finals, Hausrath won out over Stot-
tlemyer, to become the 1948 Champ
ion.
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
Hausrath, who did not take up the
game until just about a month ago,
and who is 70 years of age, proved
without question that this unique
game, of ancient origin, is not some
thing that the younger men can run
off with, and it was his steadiness
under pressure that brought the
championship to Mr.. Hausrath.
In the Ladies' Team Finals, be-
tween the Pangborn and Letter
Brothers teams (winners of the
first and second divisions respec-
tively) the Pangborn Girls came out
on top after very close game,
while in the Mems Champion Finals,
the biggest upset of the day occurr-
ed, when the Cosmopolitans defeat
ed the highly regarded Alsatians,
who won the championship last sea-
son and were defending the Pang-
born Trophy.
One of the outstanding events of
the day was the unexpected arrival
of a quartet of Noted Canadian
Turf Bowlers" with their business
manager" whom Park 10y an
nounced would give demonstration
of how the great game of turf bowl
ing should be played When the
door of the limousine opened, the
Canadian Pros" turned out to be
Ford Bryan, Joe Urgo, Doc Leather
man and Oscar Raup, and their
business manager" was Dick Weld
er. Dressed in costumes that were
literally indescribable, and which
had the large crowd present in roars
of laughter, the boys put on real
comedy exhibition of turf bowling
cas- it shouldn't be played" and they
left the green amid tumultous ap-
plause from the big crowd that was
present.
The winning team trophies were
presented to the Pangborn Girls
! Team and the Cosmopolitan Mems
Team by Thomas W. Pangborn, the
donator of the trophies, while the
presentation of awards to the in
individual winners was made by
Lloyd Stouffer, president of the
Board of Park Commissioners.
Even though the season has just
come to a close, Park 10y, to whom
world of credit goes, not only fol
bringing this grand game to Hagers-
town, but for his hard work and en-
thusiasm in working it up to its
present proportions, announced
that the league officials are already
laying plans for bigger and bet
/ ter 1949 season.
