cation from the South Euclid
Lyndhurst League. That game will
be followed by a Pony League ALL
Star game between the "cream of
the crop" from East Cleveland and
Euclid.
While a Junior League All-Star
game is in progress, swimming
championships for East Cleveland
boys and girls from III will be
held in Shaw Pool.
At p. m, the East Cleveland
Black Sox will play a scheduled
CBF game in the Class D League.
That game will be followed by a
girls softball game featuring
Rosenblums VS.. the Metro Girls,
two of the better female teams in
the Cleveland area.
The highlight of the entire pro-
gram will be mems softball game
featuring the world famous four
man team, The King and His
Court, who will oppose the Greater
Cleveland All-Stars, a collection
of the top softball talent in local
competition. There are undoubtedly
many East Clevelanders who have
not yet had the pleasure of seeing
the King and His Court perform.
These four expert performers, a
pitcher, catcher, first baseman and
shortstop, are almost beyond des-
cription in the amazing manner in
which they cavort on the diamond.
The King, Eddie Feigner, is con-
ceded to be the best pitcher soft
ball has ever developed. He pitches
blindfolded, on his knees, from
second base and center field and
behind his back with binding
speed. He boasts an assortment
of 18 different pitches and the
boys shadow ball" game after
the game is always a popular
feature. You really have to see
the boys perform to appreciate
their marvellous talent. The King
has pitched a total of 319 no-hit
games during his ten-year career,
1O8 of them being perfect per-
formances. They have played in
40 states and have made 10 foreign
tours playing before more than
three million fans.
Tickets for the Amateur Day
program are priced at $1.00-5Oc
for children under II. They may
be purchased from any player,
manager or coach in the four
locally sponsored boys leagues or
at most of the local stores. We feel
that the parents Of every boy who
is playing on one of these East
Cleveland teams should purchase
ticket if for no other reason than
to express their appreciation for
this splendid program which is
sponsored by the East Cleveland
Little Leagues, Inc. We are hop
ing for a crowd of at least 1000
to make the effort a financial
success. So save the date and plan
to be there-you won't regret it.

18th Attack
On Beetles

For the thirteenth time in its
fourteenth year war against the
Japanese beetle, East Cleveland
has set out beetle traps.
The 100 traps, each placed in
one of the original 100 plans in
fected with Milky Disease, the
best known means of fighting the
beetle, are checked once a week
by a volunteer resident. The num-
Der of beetles found in the trap
are reported to City Hall on a
postcard provided for this purpose.
From these figures the city traces
it's slow, but certain inroads
against the pest.
In charge of the city's beetle
control program since its inaug-
uration is John Cowing of the
Engineering Department.
Milky Disease, explains Mr..
Cowing, is harmless to humans and
pets. 1t is applied to the soil
where it effects the grubs which
die and liberate millions of
diseased spores to infect the next
seasons grubs, and so the battle
cycle continues.
The Japanese beetle goes
through four stages. Growth of
the grub is usually completed in
June. Along in July the beetle
emerges. After a few days of
feeding, the beetles mate. The eggs
are deposited from two to four
inches below the soil and so ar
ranged as to be completely sur
rounded by moist soil. In a week
or ten days the eggs hatch into
grubs about the size of a pin
head. With the coming of cold
weather, the beetle dies and the
grub survives to emerge the next
June.
1t is this constant spreading
of the Milky Disease in the soil
that spells the finish of a beetle.
Spearing is important. Birds help
help in the process. 1t lasts in
the ground as long as the carcass
exists.
Persons finding beetles in their
yard are advised to kill them and
scatter them over the soil, to be
worked into it and there continue
the spreading of the Milky Disease
weapon.

The most important summer
athletic event in East Cleveland
is only two weeks away-the First
Annual Amateur Day. Here's a
chance for every civic-minded
East Clevelander to show the boys
who are playing organized base
ball in the Junior League, Pony
League, Little League and Minor
League that you are behind them
1000 in offering them an oppor-
tunity to play baseball and have
lots of clean fun with their school
mates and neighbors.
There are almost 500 East Cleve-
land boys playing baseball on local
diamonds every Monday through
Friday and this worthwhile pro-
gram naturally requires financial
aid. Uniforms, balls, bats, umrires,
etc. cost money and the local mer-
chants who have been providing
funds for this expensive program
cannot be expected to carry the
entire financial load. Fortunately
there are a large number of East
Clevelanders, realizing the value
of such a fine athletic program,
who have volunteered their time
and efforts to serve as team man
ayers and coaches, umpires and
scorers. They are reaping a great
deal of personal satisfaction from
the knowledge that these boys
from 1917 years Of age are not
only learning to play baseball but,
more important, they are develop
ing their sense Of fair play and
teamwork.
Accordingly, the East Cleveland
Amateur Day on Sunday, July
18th will be a challenge to adults
and especially the boys parents,
to show their appreciation of this
wonderful athletic undertaking,
now in its third year of exist
ence.
The days activities will get
underway at 1890 p. m. with an
East Cleveland Little League ALL
Star team facing a similar aggre-
