Excitement High: Nelson's
Battle Kennedys Monday
In Ii Title Race Series

three home runs. The Nelson bat
ting attack is spanked by Tom
Brezavec, who holds a 1894 aver
age, and Kepich, whose 1902 mark
includes three home runs.
On a comparative-score basis,
Nelson's would appear to hold the
upper hand because of their two
shutout victories over the Ken
nedy entry but, on the other hand,
it should be remembered that
Nelson's one loss was a 81 defeat
by Koenig's Sport Goods, a team
which Kennedys knocked off twice
by scores of 40 and 81. The Su-
perior Hill champs also won easy
victories over the Fire Dept,
100 and 1910, while the Shaw Di-
vision title holders just managed
to put out the Fire, 2-1, earlier
in the season. However, it should
be good series which will prob
ably go to three games. Come out
and watch the boys-admission is
free and there are plenty of seats
available.
Pony League
The Pony League championship
will not be determined until next
week due to some postponed
games which are scheduled to be
played off. The first half title is
still in question pending the out
come Of tomorrow nights Ken
nedy's Mems Shop-Paul's Restau-
rant game at Forest Hills Park.
A Kennedy victory will deadlock
them with East End Nash for the
first half championship and neces-
state playoff. The second half
crown hinges on next Wednesdays
completion Of a game between the
same two rivals which was rained
out after four innings on July
22nd with Kennedy's leading, 5-3.
A Kennedy win will also knot the
final standings for the second half

champions, will meet Kennedy!
Mems Shop, Superior Hill titlists
at Shaw Field next Monday eve
ming in what shapes up as one o.
the best title series in East Cleve
land Little League history.
Both teams have dominated their
respective divisions Throughout
the season leaving little doubt as
to their superiority over riva
teams. In compiling a season
record of 1871, the Nelson team
rates as a slight favorite against
their hilltop opponents on the
basis of two encounters during
the regular season in which the
jewelers. recorded pair of 2-C
victories.
However, a close look at the sta
tistical data on the two clubs
gives the strong Kennedy nine a
decided edge both extensively and
defensively. The Superior Hill
team has limited its rivals to just
20 runs in the II games they
have played to date in compiling
their current 1912 record. Their
fielding prowess has also been
quite evident on the basis of only
II errors committed in as many
games. They have averaged six
runs per game and have recorded
four shutout victories. Nelson's
have averaged eight runs per
contest and have held their op-
ponents scoreless on three oc-
casions. Their defensive record is
second only to Kennedy's with %
errors in IA games but they
stepped up their run-scoring
ability considerably in the last
three weeks of the season by
tallying 60 runs in their last five
games.
Strong Pitching Staffs
Both teams have strong pitch
ing staffs but, series-wise, Ken
nedy's have an advantage since
both of their pitching mainstays,
Dennis Erne and John DeMent,
are available whereas Nelson's
will have only half of their hurling
staff on hand for the series. IL
year-old John Kepich, who owns
an 81 record, will be on the
mound in Mondays opener but
Phil Bolton, who is 80 for the
season, will not be on hand in the
playoffs due TO a vacation trip
with his family. Jack West, a left
handler who ordinarily catches, will
fill in for Bolton and he has proven
himself capable by winning two
games in the past week. Kepich's
fireball deliveries have disposed
Of 92 opponents via the strikeout
route in As innings and he has
limited the opposition to only
seven runs and ten hits in that
period. Erne, who will get the
starting assignment in Mondays
contest, has been only slightly
less effective in striking out 81
batters in 81 innings while hold
ing the rival clubs to five runs and
seven hits. His control has been
exceptionally good in giving up
only IA walks while Kepich has
experienced more difficulty in
finding the place by issuing AZ
free passes to first.
Kennedy's Have Hitters
Extensively, Kennedy's hold an
advantage with three regulars
topping the 300 mark - Erne
(.529); Kelvin Porath (.429); Art
Phillip (.310). Erne and Porath
have been consistent long ball hit
ters, the former having raped
seven doubles, two triples and
three home runs while Porath has
belted two doubles, two triples and

Monday after she had started in
ernal bleeding at her home near
PampEn. Being a ID out 70 I
months pregnant she was i'm
mediately admitted TO the hospit
al and a Farmville physician was
called. She had received no medi-

ted to the hospital, but her pre-
vious children had been boin
without complications.
After undergoing blood tests it
was apparent that her blood
would not clot, and. according to
the attending physician, any OPP
erative procedure would have
been fatal"
Realizing that about 4 to 6
units of a rare and potent drug
called Fibrinogen were desperate

called Owen Sanford Drug Com

About Is minutes later Trooper
