Craig Leigh pitched Ihc first 6 innings for Lakeland Park yielding two hits and four base?, on bails. We cannot overlook tInpitching performances of Tim Freund of the Cardinals who held our boys to two hits and two bases on balls in six innings. In the seventh inning Freund was replaced bv N. Qfrte. With the help of two bases on balls and a fielder's choice our boys managed to push across the winning run. In the bottom of the seventh Bob Townsend replaced Craig Leigh. Bob had two outs with runners on first and second and We held our breath as th^ last batter sent a long fly ball to deep center field. Ray Button played it like a pro and 1he time was ours. Saturday night we played Niles at Niles and our boys although they played a wonderful game in the field making 14 put outs and 7 assists with only 3 errors lost by a score of 5 to 1. Bob "Townsend pitched a very creditable game allowing only six hits and 2 bases on balls in the six innings but nur boys could only inanare one hit and three bases on balls, off the Niles curve ball pitcher Gampetro. Our one run was accounted by Mike Sullivan who tiipled in the fifth inning and scorcd when a Niles player over threv on the play at third. We wound up 1hc All Stars games on a happier note as we beat Wonder Lake 7-4 at Won- &V Lake. Dennis Karaskcvvifz pitched the full 6 innings and was backed, by 7 hits including a triple by T.

Don Nelson "Hooks" 25 Pound Kingfish Showing up both dad and brother, Don Nelson walked off with top honors as the piscatorial wizard when he landed a 25 pound- -38 inch Kingfish during the Nelsons' recent Florida vacation. The teat was a c c o m p l i s h e d a t * R o y n t o n Beach. Earl and Ken did quite well also but nothing to match Don's sj>ectacular catch. The Nelsons departed our shores on a recent Monday moining, after Ken had passed his driving test in Woodstock. Niee way to start a vacation. They took the journey southward in easy stages, stopping wherever a place looked inviting. In Roca Raton, the foursome visited Africa, U.S.A. where wild animals abound. Sight seeing in St. Augustine impressed them not at all! Surf swimming in beaches along the western coast of Florida proved exciting in more ways than one. During crabbing expediditions, both Elnia and son. Ken, were bitten by the darn things. A swamp buggy ride through the Everglades and watching the porpoises perform at Seaquarium in Miami were highlight events. The family spent four days in St. Petersburg visiting with former residents Mr. and Mrs. George Goranson and Caroline's mother --"Mor-mor" Eriekson who owned the lovely cottage on Spring Road and Fountain Lane^ Greetings are extended by Lena and- Fred Eckhardt of Tampa whom the Nelsons also stopped in to see. The homeward trek led through the Civil War battlegrounds at Shilon, Tenn., and into the nation's capitol where they visited Mt. Vernon and other historical sights. Their 4,300 mile trip brought them to the turnpikes and eventually the best place of all--home! Column Copy by Tonight, Please The Labor Day holiday advances all the deadlines including this one.

Joe Marshc Shorty Made No "Bones" About It Folks thought it was a big joke when Shorty Johnson came back from Center City with a new St. Bernard for his kids. And the truth was, Shorty did look kind of funny. The pooch practically filled the whole back seat of Shorty's car, and, when he let it out, it stood darn near as high as Shorty did! But Shorty didn't mind the ribbing. As he explained, "I know I look pretty silly with a dog like this. But when you've got eight kids like I do, and you get 'em a dog, you get one big enough so they can all play with it at once!" From where I sit, folks should "size up" a situation before jumping to conclusions. For example, because Shorty likes coffee. I used to feel he'd disapproved when I'd have ft glass of beer. But after I got to know him, I realized he was a toleran t man--one who'd never think of challenging his neighbor's right to his own opinions. This attitude is typical of most of the folks in our town--one of the things that makes thai so "dog-gone" wonderfnl!- Copyright, l'Htl, United States Brewers Association, Inc.
