East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1950-05-04
BY Bob Keefer

The Shaw diamond performers,
who started the current season in
whirlwind fashion, have been
brought to earth with a resounding
thud by losing their last two
games after they had rolled out
q victory string of five straight
games. After defeating Painesville,
Lakewood and Lorain in games
which we have previously des-
cribed, the Cardinals continued on
their merry way by dumping
Shaker, 6-3, and edging Heights,
81. From that point the outlook
suddenly became as gloomy as the
recent weather conditions.
Last Saturday, an Elyria team
which had dropped both of it's pre-
vious games, moved into Shaw
Field and proceeded to pound three
Shaw pitchers as though they
owned them. When the smoke had
cleared, the Pioneers were on the
heavy end of 81 score in game
which saw the local nine turn in
its worst performance of the sea-
son.
AS the result of the loss to
Elyria, the only Shaw defeat in the
first half of league play, the Cardi-
nails must now stand by until
Heights and Lakewood have COM
pleted all of their first-half games.
This will probably result in one
of those teams tying Shaw for the
first-half title. This would then
make it necessary for a play-off
game to decide which team will
represent the Lake Erie League in
the District Baseball Tournament
at League Park on May 1920.
After taking a 20 lead in the
first inning on two walks and two
singles, the Cardinals suddenly fell
apart both defensively and at the
plate. After Forts first-inning
single, the Black and Red batsmen
were able to hit only three balls
out of the infield in the remainder
of the game. Meanwhile, the visit
ing nine capitalized on four Shaw
errors and wildness on the part,
of the trio of Cardinal hurlers. Bob
McAllister, Elyria's lightweight
left handler, held the Cardinals to
three hits and contributed to his
own cause by blasting a two-run
homer over the right field fence.
The Wisecupmen, who had played
excellent defensive ball in their
first five games, looked miserable
afield in Tuesdays return game

Telephone calling privileges in
Cleveland and it's suburban areas
will be expanded Sunday, June q,
it was announced by D. B. Wiles,
division commercial manager of
The Ohio Bell Telephone Co.
AS a new Cleveland metropoli-
tan rate plan, it is designed to
meet more efficiently and ade-
quately the Interchange local
telephone requirements Of SUBJ
scribers in the area.
A canvass of all subscribers in
suburban exchanges was made by
the company to determine If the
plan met with their approval.
More than 95 per cent of them said
that it did. The plan has been ap-
proved by the Ohio Public Utili-
ties Commission.
Work is nearing completion in
connection with installation of
equipment required to carry out
the new features of the plan, which
will create three Cleveland zones
East, West and South. The
present suburban exchanges are
also divided into three groups to
be known as the East Side, the
South Side and the West Side sub
urban exchanges.
Under the new plan, calls to and
from subscribers in the East Side
suburban exchange and telephone
offices in the Cleveland East zone
will be considered local calls, with
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1950-05-04
Change In City, Suburban Phone
Rates Effective Early In June

one message unit applying for
message rate subscribers and no
message charges appling for flat
rate subscribers. At present most
of such calls are charged for at
the rate of either one or two mes
sgge units. Calls will be dialed by
subscribers.
The same broad-scope treatment
will be accorded for calls between
the South and West Side suburban
exchanges and their associated
South and West Cleveland zones,
respectively.
All calls between Metropolitan
Cleveland suburban offices and
downtown Cleveland can be dialed
as local calls.
Suburban subscribers will be
able to dial other contiguous sub
urban subscribers on the same
basis, one message unit for mes
sage rate subscribers and no mes
sage charge for flat rate subscrib-
ers. Calls to and from suburban
exchanges and Cleveland telephone
offices not in the corresponding
zone will still be charged two mes
sage units.
No change in rates will be made
in Cleveland. Suburban rates will
be at the Cleveland rate level.
In suburban areas where resi-
Dental development is too scat
tered for base rate treatment, a
zone will be established in which
small additional charge will re-
place present mileage charges.
The proposed plan generally will
offer the following advantages to
suburban telephone users:
l. A greatly enlarged unlimited
calling area for flat rate subscrib-
ers and in general a reduction in
message rate charges for message
rate subscribers.
2. Suburban residence subscrib-
ers will have in their local calling
area approximately a quarter-mil-
lion telephones, resulting in elm
ination Of about 80 per cent of
present message unit charges.
8. Elimination of mileage charg-
es and creation of new rate zones
in areas where subscribers are
scattered. This will mean a reduc-
ton in charges for most of the
subscribers.
A. Direct dialing Of most calls
TO and from Cleveland telephone
offices and suburban subscribers,
5. City service will replace ex-
listing rural service in suburban
exchanges adjacent to Cleveland.
Expenditures in connection with
the program will approximate
nearly $4,000,000.

Snaps As EIyria Springs
Surprise; Second Loss

with Lakewood which resulted in
a 81 gift to the Rangers. The
local nine, reversing their previous
procedure, pounded the ball freely.
collecting eleven hits. However,
they were guilty Of six miscues,
three of which were directly re-
sponsible for Lakewood runs.
After q scoreless first inning,
Shaw drew first blood by pushing
across three runs in the second
frame on singles by their outfield
trio, George Lawrence, Bob Thomp-
son and Mike Vara. Lakewood
countered with two in their half
of the second, Shaw came back
with a pair of tallies in the third
stanza and the Rangers knotted
the count at 5-5 with three more
in the bottom half of the third.
Shaw added single markers in the
fourth and sixth innings but the
Rangers again deadlocked the issue
in their half of that inning on a
double, a walk and a costly error
by Pitcher Don Sexton. Although
four Shaw batters reached first
base in the top half of the seventh
inning, they were unable to score
as two force plays at second and
strikeout killed their last chance.
1t didn't take long for the host
team to score the winning run with
the Shawites very obligingly con-
tributing an unearned tally. Dick
Savage, Ranger second baseman,
was the first batter to face Sexton
and he reached second safely when
Vara dropped his fly along the
right field line. Third baseman
John Kornick then laid down
bunt along the first base line which
Ed Detering fielded and threw to
Carmen Abate, Shaw second base
man, who covered first on the
play. Abate, however, picked a very
inopportune moment to commit his
first error of the season, dropping
the throw as Savage raced across
the plate with the winning run.
Sexton was far off form in this,
his third start of the season, as
he gave up nine hits and walked
three. 1t must be said, in defense
of the Shaw nine, that several of
their hits which became ground
rule doubles would have been home
runs on any other field. The Lake
wood diamond is laid out on the
old Ranger gridiron and the short
ened foul lines make it necessary
to incorporate ground rules which
handicap a team with hitting
power.

ing to place his junior golf stars in
private clubs for several years,
but the older clubs had rules and
reg1ations that were stumbling
blocks. although a few years back
it was the policy of two or three
clubs virtually to bid for the Junior
stars.
Bethesda created a full junior
membership for a reasonable ini-
tiation fee and now it has the
corner on the junior market. The
WolfeS. Fletcher and Bolster have
a home club and their games
should improve by the steady
competition.
Bolster was the individual
leader of the 36-hole play with
