American
AII-Stors
Win It's

The American division took the
Rockville Junior league All-Star
game Saturday, lis.
Kenny Doan started the game
for the winners but his relief,
Mike Kreamer, claimed the credit
for the win. Leslie Ruppel fin
ished the game. Billy Peake took
the loss for the National division
All-StarS.
Relief for Peake came in the
third by John Larman. Tim Reitz
and Eddy Mulgrew followed. Billy
Binker homered in the fourth
with no one on base.
The American division went
ahead in the second 6-2. Prior
to this out-burst of runs, the team
was trailing the Nationals 20.
Third baseman Jackie Smith
singled to start the rally. Larry
johnson homered to tie the game
%. Kenny Doan soon followed
with homer to bring two more
runs across the bag. The Ameri-
can division All-Stars never lost
their lead from this point.
Towering the National ALL
Stars was Johnny Auber. Auber
hit a double with two aboard.
This double gave the 20 lead they
enjoyed for the first few innings
of the game.
Leo Mccarthy, coach of the
American division team, said his
team played serious ball with no
loafing.
The American division roster
included players from Hunger
ford Towne, Leland Fisher, Rock
vile Construction, and part of
st. Judes which was split between
the two all-star teams. The Ma
tional division All-Stars included
Miller Fields, st. Marys, Rock
mont, and st. Judes. Since there
are seven teams in the league one
had to be split to make the all
star team evenly stated. AS a
result, st. Judes was split.

gether, the team arrived in sec.
ond place behind Carl Freeman
at the close of the season.
This summer, in its second year
in the Junior division, the boys
went undefeated. Their success is
due largely to a profound desire
to play together.
The coach, referred to as mr."
or Coach" Smith by the boys,
works with his wards sometimes
five days week. Now the coach
is faced with an important de-
cision: whether to follow his boys
into the Senior division or to start
at the beginning with a midget
team. The coach's younger son,
Dickie, is midget. He is prompt
ing dad to organize a new midget
team so that they can be togeth-
er. On the other hand, the coach
has a son on his present team
who is encouraging him to move
onto the Seniors with him. The
older son, Gus, has more help on
his side than his younger brother.
Gus Is by no means the only one
who demands his fathers atten.

ging their delighted coach to stay
with them. The argument they
use is that they have been to-
gether for four years and break
ing them up now would be cruel
They feel that large part Of
their success comes from the
years of experience they have had
playing with each other.
Coach Smith said that the pos.
sibilities are that he will enter his
team in the Senior division next
spring under his supervision. The

Cone. Ricky has the reputation Of
being dangerous to base runners
who contemplate stealing second.
Very few have made the jaunt
successfully when the fast.armed
catcher is playing his position.
The pitching staff on the team
Is strong. The coach claims that
the only things his hurlers lack is
a little control which they will
develop as their experience
grows. Bob Hendricks is the top
pitcher on the team. He is a south.
paw who has seen service under
Smith for four years.

number two man in the staff.
Bob Mccarthy, John Morris, and

The coach talked Of a banquet
the late John Lyon threw for his
team when they won the Bethes-
da Midget League title for the
second time. Each player received
a trophy for his efforts. Lyon
kept close relationship with the
team. There will probably be a
banquet this year also, said the
coach.
The much loved coach said that
II is a simple matter TO get enough
boys TO form team, and just
as easy TO get sponsor. Getting
the men to work with the boys Is
the difficult task, declared the

Players Refuse To End Teams History

Four years ago this summer a
midget team was formed in the
county under the name of John
Lyon. This team took the league
championship twice in a row. To
day the teams coach claims his
junior team would give any sen
ior team a hard fight.
This team with mostly the
same players is a junior division
team under the name Maloney
Concrete. The team is still the
same as it was four years ago in.
Guiding the coach, Walter Smith.
This year, the team has gone the
rounds undefeated both in league
games and exhibitions.
The team had it's start in 1854
when Walter "Smitty" Smith
formed the John Lyon midget
team. The team was entered into
the Bethesda League where they
quickly claimed the league cham.
pionship the first year. The sec
ond year told the same story for
the boys as they again won the
league title.
At the end of two years most
of the boys were eligible to play
baseball in the junior division
With the death Of the teams spon.
sor, John Lyon, Coach Smith de-
cided to disband the midget team
and follow his boys into the Jun.
ior division. Their new sponsor,
Maloney Concrete, supplied the
boys with attractive uniforms.
The main reason for the attract.
i've uniforms is that the boys
and their coach designed them.
Competition in the new division
was tough for the boys who were
with the other teams.
But with the about effort of d

Peake not only pitched a no.

Peake's no-hitter was saved in
the game when Tony Zangardi

Zangardi was also the leading
hitter of the game, knocking in
three runs with two singles. Mil

Is Possible?

Is it possible to steal two bases
and still be on first?
Barry Heavier of the Oakdale
Senior team found that it is pos

then thinking it was a foul ball,

batter didn't touch the ball and
Heavners steal was quite legal.
The backward stealer made it to
second safely and then returned

Tokomo Wins PIoy-offs;
Rockville Is Runner-up
By Bill Garrett
Sports Editor


Takoma Boys Club No. 2
remained undefeated last
week in the County Senior di-
vision playoffs to win the
1857 series. The team had
tied for second in regular
league play.
Rockville Civilians, league
champions, fought their way
into the runner-up position in
the playoffs. Rockville lost
two games in the playoffs, !.
Doth to Takoma.
In the first game of the series
the Takoma team knocked off
Colesville 40. 1t then handed
Rockville its first defeat in the
playoffs, So. Bethesda Civilians
were the next victims of the hot
Takoma team. Bethesda suffered
20 loss. In Takoma's last game
of the series Rockville was hunni-
lated for the second time, "a.
Rockville Is League Champ
Winning the playoffs enables
Takoma to receive the Playoff
Champion trophy. Rockville still
remains as the league champ as it
finished regular season play with
an lib record. Takoma halted
just behind the league winners
with 9-5 record.
In the last game of the play
offs, which was the most impor-
tant to both teams, Stan Dunayer
went the full seven innings for
Takoma. Walter MacGruder took
the loss. He was relieved in the
fifth by Clark Kirkman.
Rockville Takes Lead
Rockville took a quick lead in
the game-boasting a three-run
lead. In the fifth inning Mac
Gruder lost his control and the
Takoma club took full advantage
of his sudden loss of control.

his team failed to join him in tbs

Had the Civilians won this game
they would have played Takoma
again on the following Monday.
The outcome Of this game would
have decided the playoff champ If
Rockville won Friday.

Others hitting for the Civilians
were Jimmy LeCompte, Bobby
Durbin and Joe Jenkins. Durbin
and Jenkins hit triples in success

brought his twin hitter home.
Both these hits came in the first
