"At the conclusion Of the five
day festival, the winners were es.
corted to the statue Of Zeus, where
they gave prayers of thanks, after
which there were the impressive
closing ceremonies followed by a
formal banquet, where orators,
poets, musicians and others who
were famous, contributed to the

FROM THE PRESS BOX
BY OSCAR MILAN

There was a red-headed guy sit
ting in the east section of the
stadium Friday night who was
blasting the dayiights out of the
sports section Of this paper. Catch
ing his conversation by mere coin
cidence and making it my business
not 10 miss anything. ! could clear
ly hear him offering his criticism
"You pick up the paper turn to
the sports section and the first
thing that looks you in the face
is big streamer with John Cruz
name spread all over it. I'm tired
of reading about John Cruz" he
was telling the fan sitting next to
him. Zone would think that Cruz is
the only player on the club. What
about the other players, like Bob
Dopp, Richard Salgado, George
Haskins, Joe Pineda, Lucy Coma
lez and the rest of the little guys
who are making the CoNcHS such
a menace to leading clubs this
season?" At this time the appar-
emily listening fan who wasn't
listening at all. squeezed himself
away from the section and with a
sigh Of relief sat comfortably at
the bottom row of the stand. The
red-headed man scratched his head
and in a loud tone yelled at the
fan who deserted him, 'Whatsa
matter7 Are you = Cruz fan, too?"
A few of the General Electric
boys missed the big game Friday
night. How come? Well, our good
friend Bill Billows was given a
farewell party and the men didn't
want to disappoint him so he had
a hundred per cent attendance.
But amongst the boys was one
rabid fan who didn't want to miss
the ball game, 50 Frank Terry
slipped away, saw part Of the
contest and shot back to the party.
Asked how the game was getting
on, Terry replied, Looks like the
Conchs again" Meantime little
Bambino Terry was having the
time Of his life with Earl Phillip,
Mike Coons and the rest Of the
gang.
Who viii win the 'most outstand-
ing player" award given by Pol
locks Jeweler? Well, fan, your
guess is as good as any. In fact
1t viii be you who viii determine
who should get the trophy. How
ever, this corner sees the ballot
system more like popularity vote
and not from q performing stand
point. 1t seems that quite a few
high school students have already
made up their minds as to who
will win the trophy and quite few

making their selections based solid
ly on performance many points are
considered. OF course, the present
selection is good one and this
column offers no criticism as
sports writer's could get together
and announce the most valuable
player to the club for the 1852
season from a playing record
standpoint.
The writer's selection for the
most valuable player and most
outstanding performer-and am
casting my vote-is first choice
Lucilo Gonzalez. second choice,
Joe Pineda. However, II would be
q good idea and q very good one
at that, If some big local concern
would come across with . hand
some trophy to the club as a
whole. The kids have displayed
magnificent sportsmanship, have
given a good account Of themselves
in each contest and above all have
thrilled spectators by the thou
sands this season. They deserve q
lot Of credit as a group headed
by its valuable coach Ed Beck
man.
Speaking of sportsmanship, how
did you like the way Belle Glade
roughed some of our boys last Fri
day night! But the local kids paid
no attention to their opponents,s
tactics, they went on and fought
for clean cut victory thereby
dishing out a fair play lesson the
upstate boys should long remember

named the most outstanding
CONCH GRIDMAN, for the 1852
season the impressions seemed
about the same with the greater
majority going over to Lucy Con-

cases interviewed, the names of
Richard "Dick" Salgado, and Tom

Boguski captured the league
pitching honors with a 1913 record
while Chojnowski established HIM
self as the "strikeout king" by
tanning 76 batters in 68 innings.
The team statistics find the Team
sters on top in both batting and
fielding, and their 11-4 record dur
ing the regular schedule earned
them the percentage championship
to make it a very definite "Team-
ster year" in 1862.
Altogether, it was a very inter-
esting summer of softball at Shaw
Field with a maximum of inter-
esting and exciting games. The
league was more evenly balanced
than in previous seasons and, with
out a doubt, it was the "driest"
season in local history. Rain and
wet grounds caused postponements
on only five nights during the
entire summer.
AS for next year-well, let's wait
and see what happens.

One of the longest seasons in
local softball history finally came
to a close when the Teamsters
pounded out a 60 victory over
j. F. Samson & Sons at Shaw Field
on Tuesday night.
1t was the second straight win
for the Teamsters in a two-out-of-
three series to decide the East
Cleveland League title.
Jack Meixner, Teamster left
handler, gave up only three hits,
all singles, as Sansons managed
to get only two runners past first
base.
Pete Mancini, barrel chested
Teamster second baseman, took the
batting laurels with a single and
home run to pace the SEVENTH
Teamster attack. A late-season
batting splurge gave Mancini the
league batting honors with final
season average of 1888 in "photo-
finish" against teammates Bogus
XII, who had 1915 mark, and Hank
Corsi, who wound up with .344
record. Corsi led the league in
hitting for all but the final two
weeks of play during which he
went into a slump, getting only

18th Encounter For
Shaw And CoIIinwood
Here Friday Night

One of Greater Cleveland's top

night when the surprising Shaw
Cardinals meet Collinwood Highs

rows game will take the edge in
the 25-year history of this out
standing football rivalry between
the East Clevelanders and Five
Pointers.
For the first time in several
years, it appears that the Cards
will go into the game as slight
favorites. You can't look at it any
other way, especially when taking
last Fridays games into consider
alton. Shaw surprised local grid
followers by humping the strong
Toledo Libby eleven, while Collin
wood finished on the short end of
a 14-0 score in their trip to War
ren.
Despite their loss, the Railroad
ers are considered strong contend
ers for East Senate honors.
When the two eIevens meet to-
morrow night, practically the same
names will be in the lineup as
appeared in the 81 clash. In that
game the Railroaders finished on
top, 1910.
Two outstanding schoolboy grid
ders should be in the spotlight
Shaw's Ken Horton and Collin
woods Joe Trivisonno. Against
Libbey, Horton was a real spark
plug in the surprising victory. Joe
had troubles in the Warren game,
but, like the rest of the Railroader
team, he is ready to bounce back.
Always a top crowd pleaser, the
Sha w-Collinwood contest invariab-
ly attracts a full house. Thus, it
is suggested that you plan to get
to the game early if you want a
good seat.

Lurqe Crowd to His
Lecture in Fsted

Axel Schade, a candidate for
one of the seats for Frederik-

crowd, believed to be the
largest since the campaign be-
gan, to the bandstand area last
night, where he made his first
address.
Mr. Schade, in his opening
remarks, paid high tribute to
the late distinguished labor
leader r, Ludwig Harrigan,
whose spirit he said was I'M
doubtedly with him on the
stand, and would have been
the one to introduce him had
he been alive.
The former vice president Of

ton then ~dispelled any
thought that he wanted to 90

that Corporation, which he
played a part in bringing
about. There is no reason for
this because all those who
were against him are out now,
he said.
He criticized the present

to be careful in their selection
and should they choose him, to
also elect another with whom
he can work.
