Blanket Too
Hot For Hot
Car Driver

1t was really "hot" Fourth, in
the truest sense Of the word, for
one 16-year old youth involved in
a two-car accident here on the
recent holiday night.
Answering a call to proceed to
Euclid ave. and Forest Hills blvd,
Patrolmen William Baker and
Robert E. Hall of the East Cleve-
land Police force found two ears
involved in a traffic accident, but
only one driver.
Onlookers informed police that
the second had fled the scene.
Closer scrutiny of the 1941 Buick
sedan on the scene disclosed, how
ever, that contrary to public opin-
ion, the driver had not disap-
peared.
He was huddled under a thick
wool blanket in the back seat of
the car.
Taken to headquarters, Edward
Worrells finally admitted under
questioning that he had been driv-
ing the Buick, reported stolen that
afternoon on Payne ave. in Cleve-
land.
Worrells, whose Cleveland ad-
dress is 11445 Carolina ave., will
be charged in Juvenile Court. Ac-
cording to police reports, he crash
ed the light at the intersection and
hit another car driven by Elaine
I. Friedman of Avon Lake.

Post 1853 Blues
Top Standings
In CBF Leagues

The East Cleveland Blues, rep
resenting American Legion Post
163 in the Cleveland Class E
League posted their fourth vic
tory of the season to maintain the
best record of five local teams par
ticipating in CBF Leagues.
Pacing the Blues to their fourth
win this year was Bob Fish who
banged out three four-baggers and
batted in seven runs as his team
mates chalked up a 11-2 verdict
over the Musials. On the mound
for the Post 163 baseballers was
Jerry Green who held the losers.
On Saturday, Fish hurled a one
hitter, struck out IA while Jack
Hanson posted four hits in four
attempts to spearhead a AL tri-
umph over st. Wendelins.
The East Cleveland Merchants
Class C entry split even in games
last weekend, toppling the Rockies
4-3 as Carl Hurd tossed a four
hitter and famed IL. Going into
the eighth inning, the Rockies held
a 3-2 lead until John Abazio
singled home the tying run for the
Merchants and later scored the
clincher.
Sunday the Merchants ran into
stiff competition as the East End
Nash nine took an 8-3 victory
starting off the first inning with
five big runs. The Merchants have
a record of three wins and two de-
feats in games played to date in
Class C..
Class D competition found the
Braves in fine form as they evened
their season record at 2-2 by down.
ing the Eagles 5-4. The victory
margin came in the last inning
when Phil Race slapped a single
to center sending home a tie
breaking run after two men had
been retired.
Still seeking their first victories
of the year are the Viking Temp
lars and Musials, both playing in
Class E.

Fire Chief
Issues A
Worning!!

A word of warning and advice
to East Clevelanders who are in
stalling air conditioning units in
their homes during these torrid
days is issued this week by Chief
of the East Cleveland Fire Depart
ment, Fred w. Lange.
"Be certain that the wiring into
the base plug is heavy enough to
carry that extra load of current, "
cautions Mr.. Lange.
"We recently have had several
small fires caused by installation
of wire that is much too flimsy.
In some cases the only precaution
taken is installation of a larger
fuse. Neither of these methods is
safe. Fire inevitably results,
caused by wires within the walls
burning"
