for next Tuesday at the same time.
If third game becomes necessary,
it will be unfolded on the local
diamond on Thursday, Sept. 18th.
Last Thursday, Joe Sauto's
never-say-die athletes handed the
Teamsters their first playoff de-
feat by administering 20 white
wash behind the brilliant one-hit
hurting of hurley Cookie Chojnow-
ski. Pete Mancini's infield single in
the first inning was the lone Team
ster hit in what was probably the
most interesting game at Shaw
Field this season.
After five and one-half innings
of goose eggs" on the scoreboard,
Sansons broke the spell by tally
ing twice in the bottom of the
sixth, thanks to three Teamster
errors.
Bob Shea, Samson first sacker,
led off with a single and moved to
third when Shortstop Chuck Cicone
doubled to left. AL Brown then hit
to Second Baseman Pete Mancini
whose throw to the plate was
dropped by Catcher Tony Marino
after he had tagged Shea. Marino
then whipped the ball to second in
an effort to nail the sliding Brown
and Shortstop Gus Fortuna helped
the Samson cause by dropping the
throw. Cicone, meanwhile, broke
for the plate and scored, after be-
ing tagged out, when Marino again
dropped the throw from the in
fielder.
The final game in the local
playoff series also went to San
sons by 6-3 score wit hthe victors
tagging Ray Boguski, Teamster
pitching star, for ten hits. Sansons
grabbed 20 lead on single count
ers in the second and third innings.
However, the Teamsters came back
with one run in the bottom half of

injured his side and had to leave
the game.
Joe Godnik, 40-year-old pitching
veteran, came in to assume the
mound chores and limited the
Transfers entry to a pair of
singles in his three and two-thirds
innings of relief duty. Third Base
man Bill Corbett came through
with his most outstanding perform
ance of the season in rapping two
doubles and two singles in four
plate appearances to drive in four
runs. Tis two-bagger in the top
of the seventh scored teammates
Chuck Reimers and AL Kralj to
clinch the verdict for the enterpris-
ing Samson team which now as
sumes the role of favorite to cap
ture the local softball title.

Plan League Brunch

Nelaview rd.; Mrs. Charles Coop
er, 1929 Pennington rd. Mrs.
George Gels, 14616 Alder ave-, also
assisting on the drive, does so as
her swan song to the East Cleve-
land League, as she and Mr.. Gels
are leaving the community to make
their home in California.
Workers were handed their kits
and list of prospects and will be
seeing many prominent citizens in
the community during the next two
weeks. Goal for the county is
$15,000.O0, the largest in League
history. Total budget for the six
leagues is $20,6770O, of which over
$5,O00.OO is raised through the
membership dues. These are how
ever kept low so that the elague
may have widespread membership.
Since many of the Leagues serv-
ices are to the public, in the form
of registration information, candi-
dates records, candidates meet
ings, it has been the experience of
the League that the public is will
ing to help support the organiza-
ton.
According to countrywide chair
man Mrs. Paul E. Frederick of
Lakewood, "in many respects the
League of Women Voters is a
unique organization. The League
acts only in the public interest
its action is political action, but
it is action in support of selected
issues, not of candidates or
parties"
