is all the more remarkable be-
cause Eddie broke an ankle
playing football at the Copper
Cliff High in the Fall of 1857.
Badminton is an unherald-
ed game in the world of sports
and fan-attendance is low be-
cause of the lack of interest.
Few seem to know what it is
all about.
However interest is picking
up and as Eddie heads south
this Fall, to attend the Uni
versity of Toronto, those of
us up North who remain at
home foresee a great future
for our youthful member.

Edward Hre|jac Equipped To Become
Future Great In World of Badminfon
Young Creighton Mine, Ont, MemberIs
Canada's Junior Champion For Year 1868

CREIGHTON NINE, Ont.
- Eddie Hreljac, 18 years of
age and a member of Lodge
618 of this little mining camp
in northern Ontario, smashed
his way to the Canadian jun
ior championship at Victoria
on March 5th, 1858.
Experts and sportswriters
alike >all over the Dominion
who watched his play look for
young Erdeljac, if he can
keep up his game, to become
one of the best badminton
players in the world. He has
everything: - burning speed,
power and court tactics.
Our youthful star is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Matt
Hreljac of Creighton Mine.
Needless to say that they
are C.F.U. members.
The same holds true for his
brothers Johnny and Frank,
both we'll known to Sudbury
and district baseball fans.
Another brother, Emil, re-
tired from baseball and con-
fines his activity to bowling
as does a sister, Mary.
The odds against a small
community such as Creighton
Mine producing a Dominion
star are 1000 to 1. Yet under
the tutelage of Ev Staples,
the local Creighton Mine En-
ployees Club since 1851 has
been sending it's "enfants"
out into Canada.
In fact, twent vt h r e e
Creighton teen-agers just a
bout saturated the final mat
ches in Toronto's Granite
Club.
Eddie Hreljac's victory
was by no means a fluke.
In 1856 he went to Balti-
more to win the years east
ern United States open jun
ior title. Over the next
three years, he won IL out
of IL possible titles.

Clarion Lodge Ready
For SoftbaIl CAMPAIGN

CLARION, Pa. - C.F.U.
Lodge 248 of Clarion which
has fielded teams in the very
recent past will again have a
softball team prepared to
wage fraternal competition
with other lodge and indepen-
dent groups this summer.
However, we are more in
terested in the formation of a
C.F.U. softball league in me-
tropolitan Pittsburgh and
will more than contribute our
share to its existence.
Any lodge teams interested
in this idea, which was a re-
atty in the not too dim past,
are asked to communicate
with the C.F.U. Sports-Edu-
cational Department.
All local games in our es-
timation could be played on
week days and the ones re-
quiring travelling at reason
able distance to be played
ON tho weekend.
It is the writer's belief that
the formation Of such a
league to be climaxed with a
tournament could be realized.
Besides Clarion, we know
that possibilities of a team
exist in Monessen, Cokeburg,
Versailles, S. S. Pittsburgh
and Farrell.
If there be others all the
more reason for a C.F.U.
Softbal League. Do let us hear
from you.

Society Lending Hand
To Properly Organized
Junior Cultural Groups

PITTSBURGH - In addi-
ton to it's life, sick and acci-
dent benefits, the Croatian
Fraternal Union has often
gone on record as promoting
and aiding many ethnic-cul-
tural activities, particularly
those which take within it's
membership.
A form of aid along these
lines was nurtured in the
orts-Educational and the
Junior Order Departments
and recommended to the So
ciety's Supreme Board.
The Supreme Board at its
March 1857 semi-annual
meeting authorized the Ex-
ecutive Board to act upon
applications by Junior KolO
Groups and Junior Tambu-
rita Ensembles for appro-
priations upwards to one
hundred dollars ($1OO.OO).
The size of the financial aid
will depend on the size of
the group and extent of
their activity.
Appropriations are to be
made to a lodge or a nest,
therefore to merit considera-
ton and avoid further and un-
n e c e ary correspondence
please style your letter of ap-
plication as follows:
(1) The request for appro-
priation should come from the
lodge or nest and be approved
at a lodge meeting. State
therein the name of the kolo
group or tamhuritza ensemble
and under whose jurisdiction
same operates.
~ List in the letter of
application the names of all
the group or ensemble
members, identifying each
by his C.F.U. certificate
number and the nest or
lodge affiliation of each.
(3) Give a synopsis of the
kolo groups or the tamburit-
za's activities and public ap-
pearances.
Please forward the applica-
ton for this appropriation to
the C.F.U. Sports-Ed Educational
Department, 3441 Forbes St.,

town Nest 4 was second in
the Singles category with 306
while the next best games to
the 134 by Miss Mateljan were
III rolled both by Linda
Abramovic, of Etna Nest 4,
and Janet Zellic of McKees-
port Nest 81.
Nothing But The Best
The social which followed
at the Etna Lodge 4 Home
was typically the tournament
hosts going overheard with
their hospitality.
They asked no questions
and fed everyone who was in
the hall, Juniors and the ell
ders who chaperoned them.
OF the latter there were
easily two dozen, which
leads us to believe that it
would be advisable at some
future time to exact fifty
cents for all meals served
at these Junior Tournament
SOcials.
The meal is certainly worth
that much many times over.
Speeches were held to a mi
nimum as well they might be
with youngsters, yet those
made by Supreme President
V. I. Mandich, Junior Order
director Michael Grash h a,
Lodge 4 President Mark Vim
ski, Nest 81 Nest Manager
Rose Ann Cvitkovic, and
Tournament Chairman Joe
Farrell, were both necessary
for the somber note that
must be part of such promo
tions of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union.
Many Deserve Credit
The climax came with the
announcement of the winners
and runners-up, the latter in
some case three deep, and the
awarding of beautiful C.F.U.
trophies by C.F.U. Sports
Educational Director Frank
Braidic.
The photos taken at this af-
fair by the official photogra-
pher and many private shut
ter-bugs will make this 1858
Junior Dux Tournament a
part of many C.F.U. albums.
For Etna Lodge 4 we
can say that they did them
selves and the Society Of
which they were founders
q great job.
Events moved swiftly and
by ZOO pm. the crowd, jun
iors as they were in vast ma
jority, was on it's way home.

girls, that participated.
Johnstown some 80 miles
distant and Ambridge Is
miles away deserved this
mention. Etna with 10 teams
and McKeesport with 3 gave
the largest contribution in
personnel.
The Et1la Lanes were
taxed with three squads of
bowling, and when totaled
we had all lines of Junior
bowling.
The Perkovich family as
alley proprietors treated the
kids, many of whom have no
bowling shoes, by not exact
ing a rental fee even
having gone out to provide
several dozen pairs of chill
dren's shoes for the Tourna-
ment.
They Have To Graduate!
Etna women were on hand
early and throughout the
Tournament to give their ser
vices as scorekeepers.
Seasonal play by McKees-
port and Etna Juniors served
them in good stead, the Nest
81 lads taking about all that
was to be taken among the
boys and also having their
girls come through as a first
time champ in the girls five
man event.
Etna and Johnstown shared
the Doubles, Singles and sin
gle game honors; all of which
is good for the 1859 Tourna-
ment. - E

Whatever the reason, l
always admired and re-

athlete.

of April 8, 1858. The % year

High athlete died instantly

Young Man of Courage
l feel qualified to write a
bout Mike. There's probably
no writer who followed him
more closely than I.
Beyond being an athlete,
he was a personality. Some
times cocky, and not always
conforming, he was sincere in
his one goal. That was to be
a good athlete.
He showed he was a man
with CUTS. Yes, plain old in
testinal fortitude.
Like the weary boxer who
pulls himself from the floor
to rally and whip his favored
opponent, Mike dragged his
broken body from a hospital
bed, to a wheelchair, and back
to the gridiron, his great love.
In July Of 1856, his bright
athletic future was overcast
with pail. While working for
a construction crew near his
hometown, a big truck ran
over him breaking his pelvis
in four places.
Comeback of The Year
Bedfast for several months,
during which time he always
remained CHEEKY and optimis-
tic about his return to play
ing sports, he was back on his
feet and attended several col
lege games the same season.
He began exercises and
kept in condition, and the dis
trict sports world was a.
mazed when he returned to
action in 1857.
AS a halfback last year,
he turned in a great season
and everyone labeled him
