as they soundly trounced Benny's,
rated as one of the top Lima teams.
Triplett clinched the contest, and
the championship, early in the tilt,
exploding for seven runs in a wild
scoring third inning when IL men
went to the plate before the Bluff
ton team eventually was retired. 1t
was the only scoring for Triplett
in the game, but the seven runs
were more than sufficient as Miller
gave up only three hits. Triplett
had eight hits.
All of Benny's runs also came
in one inning, the third, and from
that point on both teams played
scoreless ball to run out the re-
naming innings in a hurry.
In the championship game, the
Triplett hitting attack was paced
by Kent Stonehill with two safeties,
with one hit being made by Which,
Mast, Hermann, Fett, Gratz and
Moore.
On the preceding night against
Spencerville in the semi-finals,
Bluffton hitting was led by Stone
hill and Which each with two blows,
and Mast, Hermann and Moser
each got one safety.
The only Bluffton home run of
the tournament was a circuit clout
smashed by Miller in the second
game against K. of P.
Members of the championship
Bluffton team include Kent Stone
hill, Bob Which, Ken Mast, Fred
Hermann, Larry Miller, Dick Fett,
Don Schmidt, Byron Fritchie, Bill
Hart, Bob Gratz, Keith Moore and
Manager Ken Moser. Waldo Grein-
er is bat boy.
Manager Moser has played for
Triplett on all three championship
teams as also have Stonehill, Which,
Hermann, Fett and Schmidt.
So far this year the Triplett
team has won 26 games and lost
only eight. Hart and Miller have
been handling most of the pitching
chores, Hart winning 13 and Miller
IL. Each has three losses. Schmidt
has one victory to his credit and

Although crippled by the loss
through injury of one of its ace

the Triplett team polished off
Spencerville and Benny's on the

that Larry Miller had to shoulder

BY LOU LU TOUR

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL) Now
is the time for you to build q
name for yourself as most charm
ing and attractive person. There's
no "black magic" to it, it's just
practice and routine. You desire to
be charming, so practice daily and
make a routine out of it.
Start with two words-individ-
uality and personality. Individual
ity is what you yourself offer as a
person. Your personality can be de-
veloped by use of your own individ-
uality along with things you OBJ
serve, develop or initiate in others.
So think of yourself as an individ-
ual, unlike any other person in
the world. You are unique. But
then, develop your personality so
that others can appreciate you as
an individual.
Be good to people, be cheerful,
and lend helping hand to some
one daily. You will find your per-
sonality shining through and
everyone will call you charming.
