Branford Golfers Set
For Inter-Lodqe Tests

BranfOrd, Conn. - T h c
sportsmen of Lodge 1O2 of
Branford once known thru
out the eastern half of the
United States for their ex-
ploits on the softball diamond
and the basketball hardwood
court have switched to golf.
Currently there are twelve
men who play weekend. Of
these Anthony Yasevac, Joe
Prahovic, Michael S t c 6 i n a
and Mink" Swirskey score in
the low seventies. Joe Res
jan, Frank Prahovic and Mike
Zvonkovic shoot in the low
eighties while the writer con-
siders himself lucky to get
into the sos.
While playing at the local
Pine Orchard course a few
weeks ago, Frank Yasevac ac-
complished a hole-in-one on
a 267-yard dog-leg par four
sixth hole. A No. 4 iron was
used to clear the tree-tops in
going for the putting surface.
This ace at the Pine Orchard
course is believed to be only
the second one over a period
of years. The Club Pro Stan
Starzec' holed his tee shot on
the same hole last year.
Branford golfers would be
willing to play any Saturday
or Sunday before or after La
Dor Day and promise to bring
along at least ten men. Our
fellows would be willing to
travel to New York City
Long Island, Stamford or
Hartford.
We trust that this bit OF
news may unlock the door to
a possible C.F.U. golfers
gathering.

Liked Gary Meet

Kirkland Lake, Ont. - I
think bro. Stephen F. Br-
kich's idea, of having every
Delegate write an article for
the zajednicar, is great. In
this way, every CFU member
will know how we Delegates
feel about the recent 4th Ma
tional Junior Convention at
Gary, Indiana.
I appreciated, very much,
the kind hospitality shown to
me and the other Delegates,
by Mr.. Brkich, Mr.. Grasha,
Mr.. Braidic, and all the good
people in Gary.
One important thing the
Convention did was teach us
a little more about our Soci-
ETY. and it's benefits.
I enjoyed the get-togethers
at the Croatian Center, the
trip to and picnic at Des
PLANES, the sightseeing tour
of the museum and Chicago
and the final picnic in Gary.
I also appreciated the pri.
vilege of meeting so many
new friends. l only regret
that I cannot write to all OF
them.

There will be many more

Pittsburgh, Pa. - AS of
July 81, 1866 no less than
eighteen checks drawn upon

outstanding. The earliest of
these were written the first

We are asking that the

Cleveland Kids Learn
Baseball Facts Of Life

Cleveland, Ohio - The Gle
veland Juniors baseball team
can account for two more
games here, which while not
on the side of the ledger we
like, will in the reporting per-
haps spur other Juniors to &C
tivity.
In the first of these games
played July 10th versus New
York Central 996, the visi-
tors got to B. Madison early,
one run in the first and three
in the second when he had to
be relieved by N. Stanic.
The C.F.U.-ers picked up
five runs in their bottom half
of the fourth but the worst
, was yet to come when the
Railroaders scored eight runs
in the sixth. The final score
1916 satisfied us that we had
been up against an aggrega-
ton.
On July 18th, the c. F. U.
nine locked horns with the
Braves at Gordon Park with
us chalking up two apiece in
the first three frames while
the Braves over that stretch
corraled five runs. However,
the opponents pulled abreast
in the fourth and ahead in the
sixth inning to win out rs.
Each team gathered seven
safeties with Samson's, the
opposing pitchers round trip
per making the difference,
On the mound for Cleveland
Juniors were B. Madison and
N. Stanich with Kordich who
alternates at first base and
shortstop leading the attack
with two hits.

MIC N s II o X S, IA. -
Twenty years is a span of
years with mankind that
cannot easily be brushed off.
Yet that long ago, in a
throwback that is all the
more mellow with the years,
the Spirits" had elected Ma
ry Sepac Sporcic to the, 3rd
C.F.U. Convention being held
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Heading the Lodge in 1885
were Nicholas Komlyn, pres
ident; Steve Ratko, vice-pres-
ident; Frank Braidic, secreta-
ry; Josephine Machovic BIZ
ach, treasurer; and Anthony
Abranovic, recording secre-
tary. Andrew Volovic was the
chairman of the board of
trustees with Margaret Ku-
char, Antoinette Machovic,
Steve Horvat and Joseph
Yurkovic his associates.
The Spirits" picked up ma
ny new members that year,
namely, those of which even
today are members who in
the interim since their join
ing played an important role
to bring Lodge 143 to it's pre-
sent status. Joining in 1885
were Steve Delach, Olga Cha
vlovich, John Sibenik, Michael
Harsh, Anthony Rackie, Jo-
seph Delach, George Sporcic,
John Grgurich, Marian Kal-
sey, Mary Giebel, Charles
Stayduhar and Mary Liable.
The Croatian Fraternal
Union was at that time en-
rolling quite a crop of the
World War l babies who hav-
ing turned eighteen were
stepping out of the Junior
Order into the senior ranks.
From this point on in 1866
we should be enrolling more
members from the Junior
Order and even as new men,
bers to the Society because
in the period 1939-4O preced-
ing World War II the statis-
ticians had been prophesying
that the population of the
United States was going to
crest at the year 1875 and
then remain stationary.
You know what has since
happened, if you are old
enough to remember 1885,
these figures, theories and
technocrats just disappeared
into the good old earth.
There are many things a.
bout the Croatian Fraternal
Union which if known to the
average member would make
him a better salesman of the
Society.
Since the time of the Los
Angeles convention to the
fiscal ending for the Philadel.
phia conclave, the assets over
a four year period have riser
from S19,41O,313.69 to $23,'

ship, senior and junior, rose
