now some promise that the death
rate from polio will be reduced.
New anti-coagulant drugs also
hold out the hope that the deaths
resulting from strokes and heart
ailments might be reduced in the

Altogether then, the health rec

THURSDAY. JANUARY IA, 1854
Join The March Of Dimes -

The first collection in behalf Of
the annual March of Dimes for the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis this year was made by
a four-year-old boy 10000 feet up
in the air. Delbert Dams, this
years March Of Dimes poster boy,
opened the years polio fund drive
with a collection Of $50 on a flight
from New Orleans to New York
Passengers on the plane contrib
uted $50 as the kickoff contribu-
ton of this years March of Dimes
campaign, which continues through
out the month.
Of all the fund drives dedicated
to the task Of reducing human
misery and suffering. none has
more appeal than the March Of
Dimes, which is an effort to Grad
icate disease which usually at
tacks children. 1t is also true that
of all the major diseases, progress
in checking the ravages Of polio
seems nearer at hand than with
any other major killer.
1t might we'll be that 1854 marks
the first year in which fully ef-
fective vaccine is made available to
large numbers Of children. If that
turns out to be the case, the March
of Dimes fund drive might even
tually be curtailed
Therefore the need this year is
greater than ever before, in drive
which may not be necessary in an
other five or ten years. This news
paper urges its readers to start
1851 off right by contributing to
a great cause in behalf Of this COM
munity's, and the nations, chill
dlen.

Fraternal Unions Goth An
nual National Tourney is
Steve Skrobot, member of
"Maywoodites' Lodge 358.
The reason: Steve re-
turned home as the Mems Di-
vision l-Events Handicap
Champion. To turn the trick,
he came through with 543 in
the team event, 468 in doubles
and $50 in singles, which gave
him a scratch count of 1880.
This plus a handicap of $50
upped the tally to 1910
sticks, good enough to cement
his claim to the crown.
Always a consistent kegler.
Steve is giving plenty OF
thought to the 21st Annual
Tourney, slated for Chicago in
1855, and VOWS it'll take some
tall shooting to unseat him
as the current All-Events

Cementon Squad Grabs
VILLAGE SoffbaII Lead

Cementon, n. Y. - Cemen-
ton went into first place in
the Catskill Village Softball
League when they defeated
the Rip Van Wrinkle Tavern
ties, 6-3, in an overtime game.
BARRIERS home run after
Pavlak had singled spelled
doom to whatever hope the
Van Wrinkles had. Cementon
held a 81 lead from the Sec
ond inning as both pitchers,
Sperl for Cementon and Mike
Zowak for the Tavernmen, set
the batters down quite regu-
larly until Di Saints round
tripper tied the score at 3-3.
Sperl's delivery, a spinner,
puzzled the opposing batsmen
to the point that seventeen
out of twenty men hit fly
balls, eight of these being
pops in the infield.

SteeIton Lodge Posts
Eleven SoftbaII Wins

.SteetOn, Pa. - The st.
Lawrence Lodge IS softball
standard bearers have since
the opening game May 10th
cavorted on diamonds both at
home and abroad. We have
played some twelve games to
date. With but one loss in the
first nine games it makes the
belated reporting all the more
difficult to explain.
The team is indeed fortu-
nate to have a well rounded
pitching staff consisting of
Murlatt, Gustin, Radios, Bra
tina, Benkovic and Muza. Of
all the games perhaps none
stands out as prominently as
the 80 win over the Enhaut
Fireman which went into OK
ira innings with victory COM
ing when the Croats were able
to push over the one run in
their bottom half of the ninth
frame.
Our fellows continued their
fine play in the games which
followed to gain a very high
reputation in this area. Their
first defeat came at the hands
of the Pembroke players and
this in 1919 fashion. We
thought we had this game in
the bag when we tailed three
times in the top half of the
seventh. but the Penbrookers
who made it a habit that day
to score two runs in all but
the third and sixth innings
came back in sterotyped style
with the necessary two runs
in the seventh also.
In the remaining weeks of
the softball season we hope to
give as good an accounting Of
ourselves with the ZajedniGar
carrying the aftermath pub
licity. We can t%ruthfully say
from experience that the fell
lows who have been the
Lodge 13 standard bearers in
sports have enjoyed the as
signment given them.

such bowlers.
In this bowling organiza-

surance that at least eight

If the attendance and en-
thusiasm shown at the league

Dux Journeys On
Three-Year Basis

Pittsburgh, Pa. - AS the
result of the GU. Duckpin
Tournament delegates meet
ing called Sunday, August 1,
in Pittsburgh by the GU.
Slor s-Educational Depart
ment we have the following
official and interesting an
nouncements to make.
The meeting well adver-
tised by invitational letter
and by the Zajednicar be-
speaks an enthusiastic inter
est for GU. Duckpin Tour
naments for at least three
years to come. The existent
bylaws were accepted with
almost negligible changes.
The hostship of the 1855
Dux Tournament was by the
delegates vote awarded to
the Alcros Lodge 720 of Ali
quippa, Pa. The tournament
dates are April %, 90 and "a,
1855, and the site the Shelf
field Lanes in Aliquippa. This
is to be inferred that Junior
Dux Tournament will also be
held in Aliquippa the date
and details to be worked out
accordingly.
Also settled and this with
the unanimity of those pre-
sent August LIST was the 1856
Duckpin city and sts, none
other than Lodge 5 Of Johns.
town, Pa. The 1857 Duckpir
Tournament was awarded tt
Lodge 25 of McKeesport, Pa.
thus affording the latter two
hosts plenty of time to pre-
pare themselves locally.
AS for the remainder Of
ducnpin fraternity we have
but the recommendation tha'
you foster intra-lodge league!

seasonal preoccupation an(
recreation and are the bes.
boosters of GU tournaments

Final Appeal To
Diamond Combines

Pittsburgh, Pa. = At this
time we want to, officially,
advise softball and baseball
teams that GU. aid to them
is as extensive as it has been
in past seasons.
Softball teams will be help
ed to the amount of fifty
($50.00) dollars. This with
the choice being at the discre-
ton of the applicant can be
either cash, which will be
forthcoming during the latter
part Of the season, or softball
equipment of their own choos-
ing of a discounted value of
said amount.
The Department in furnish
ing this softball equipment
reserves the right to withhold
a portion of the ordered ma
terial until it, the Depart
ment, becomes assured that
the team will finish the sea-
son.
Baseball teams because of
their known heavier expenses
will receive aid to the amount
of one hundred, dollars ($10O)
payable in or during the close
of the second half of the
season.
Contributing to the eligibi-
lily toward this aid are the
salient facts that publicity
must appear regularly in the
Zajednicar. Also that we ex-
pect the sports teams so aid
ed to carry the colors either
of the Croatian Fraternal
onion or those of the local
Lodge or Nest affiliate.

GIoversviIIe Team Is
Battling Against Odds

GlOverSville, n. Y. - The
Lodge 305 Croatians leading
the City Softball League at
the three-quarter mark on
July 26th encountered the
Concordia team the next day
to forge the nineteenth win.
A barrage Of eighteen hits
marked this 1876 victory, the
heaviest being compounded in
the four hits by H. Ropan and
three each by F. Budinscak
and E. Stefic. E. Fabian and
T. Gersak contributed home
runs to assure j. Foley. our
moundsman, of a victory.
On August End the Gro
atians and the Tip Top Hol-
landers battled to an 8-8 tie
which game was called at the
end of eight innings because
Of darkness. The Lodge 3O5
players had a three run lead
going into the sixth frame
when the hometowners came
through to knot the score in
that and the seventh inning.
The Croatian combine de-
feated the Liberty team 81
as G. Willert assumed COM
mand by allowing three hits.
George Meyer figured in the
onslaught with three hits, one
of the extra base variety.
This game incidentally was
the 23rd win of the season.
We are getting ready for
the play-offs in which the top
four teams in the league will
battle it out, two out of three
games until the championship
is decided. The team was be-
set with adverse luck this

Chi Bowler Needs
Help Of Bon Amis

Chicago, iii. - The 10th
Annual GU Bowling Tour
nament held in Detroit, Mich,
last May, left many fond re-
collections for most of the
participants, but sister May
me Polich of the "Krizari"
GU Lodge 70 squad will long
remember the event for other
reasons.
Mayme was destined for a
somber ending to a great
weekend when the automobile
in which she was making the
return trip home met with a
most disastrous accident. AS
a ~~-ult, she suffered two bro
ken arms and a badly crushed
leg which is still confined in
a cast.
To make matters worse,
Mayme also is suffering a
great financial loss in her
fight back to recovery. Prior
to the accident she was en-
ployed, but due to her ex-
treme disabilities at the pre-
sent time she is unable to
tackle any form of lucrative
employment and cannot look
forward to any compensation
returns from her former en-
ployers.
In view of this situation,
Club Primorac, whose men,
bers are affiliated with either
the "Krizari" or the prog
ress" GU Lod es in the ma
.jority cases, will stage a Card
, and Bunco Party for her ben
eft on Friday evening, Sep
TENDER 10th, at 500 PM, at
the Assumption Hall, 60th
and Marshfield Avenues. Tic
kets for the event are selling
for the price of $1.00.
We have no misgivings a.
bout the success of this char
ity venture, since we know
the fine calibre of our mem
bers and friends when they
are called upon to render as
sistance to a fellow affiliate.
Let's all turn out to bolster
the courage of sister Polich
with our best wishes and our
contributions for her speedy
recovery.
While we are on the sub
ject, we wish to remind the
readers of the Zee" that
days and months in %confine-
ment are twice as long as the
healthy of life and limb find
them, so how about dropping
a card or a letter to sister
Polich one of these days.
Her address is Mayme Po-
Itch, 6O29 So. Marshfield Ave

Cementon Takes
New York Opener

Cementon, n. Y. - Lodge
243 of Cementon cleared the
first hurdle Sunday, August
9Th, in defense Of their claim
to the Croatian Fraternal
Unions New York State Soft
ball Championship. The IA
decision over the Croatian
Bombers of Gloversville cap
ped an exciting regulation
game on the losers field,
Croatian Park.
The second game of the
two-out-of-three series for
the 1854 championship will be
played in Cementon, Sunday,
September 18th.
The August 9Th game was
viewed by approximately 81
people, the largest crowd ever
to attend a Field Day at Gro
attain Park, which as we are
told is one of Gloversville's
highlights of the summer sea-
son.
Hasback on the mound for
the home team was a fireball
throughout the seven innings
and was touched for nine hits.
Steve Nickolich doing duty
for Cementon was content
with a slower delivery and
was nicked for five safeties.
Cementon first broke into
the scoring column with two
runs in the third and added
another in the fourth. Glov-
ersville's threat in the bottom
half of the third was nipped,
but they managed to close in
by pushing two runs across
in the fourth.
The winners really unload
ed in the seventh. getting
four runs. Steve Nickolich hit
a homer, being followed by
Erceg's triple, who scored
when an error put Nespie on
first. Sinnott singled to score
Zowak and Cotich.
The Gloversville Bombers
rallied in their half of the
seventh but racked up only
two runs by Seely and Gott-
ing.
1t is to be remembered that
the rivalry was confined but
to the diamond. Prior to the
softball contest the crowd en-
joyed a turkey dinner with
all the trimmings, the ball
players and their wives and
children being served free of
charge.
Further on the social side
of this annual event to which
more than fifty people drove
to Gloversville, the players
and fans, after the game, ad.
