League, with scheduled loop
play ending next Saturday night
and nothing more left cxeept to
make up the rained-out and pro-
tested games, and to get practice
under way for the All-Star team
which will represent the circuit
in the district prayoffs.
The Bill Hardin Pirates are
champs for the second straight
year, with the Houston Chroni-
cle Dodgers second and the West-
bury Braves a cinch to grab at
least a tie for third place.
At a league meeting held last |
Sunday, a protest by the Braves
of their June 1 loss to the Cubs
was allowed, and these two clubs
will replay the tilt from the
squawk point when it is conve-
nient. Nothing is involved but
extra practice under game con-
ditions.
The Westbury All-Star team,
to be managed by Bob Condon
of the Pirates with Wally Arm-
strong as his assistant, has been
selected but not announced,
pending checks with the nomi-
nees as to whether they are
available for a trip all the way
to Williamsport, Pa., for the
Little League World Series. Con-
don will assemble his club for
the first time next Friday, and
pracctice will be daily until the
first playoff game against the
Braeburn All-Stars July 20 at
Kyle Chapman field.
In last week’s play, the fast-
closing Braves made it two in a
row over the Pirates, upsetting
the champs 9-8 in a cliffhanger
that saw Braves’ hurler Pat
Simmons horsecollar the loop’s
leading swatters while Ted
Clark, previously-unbeaten Buc
twirler, absorbed his first loss.
In other clashes the Dodgers ed-
ged the Cards in a closie, 2-1,
and the resurgent Giants wallop-
ed the Cubs, 13-5. In a makeup
tussle, the Braves edged the
Giants, 8-7, for a series sweep.

BY GEORGE MURPHY
The past week was highlight-
ed by a number of exciting
games for the Bollairc Junior
Teen-Age League starting with I
the Oriole-Red Sox game in j
which the Orioles defeated the
league leading Red Sox by a
score of 3-1.
Elkins and Hoaglund hooked
up in a pitchers duel with El-
kins getting the nod even though
he gave up a home run to Helm
on the 2nd pitch in the 3rd In-
ning. Hoaglund pitched a no
hitter but still lost the game.
The Red Sox were unable to
make their hits count.
In the second game the Ath-
letics took it on the chin again
when they lost to the Yankees
by a score of 4-2. Bill Suther-
land gave up only 4 hits but
the free passes to 1st hurt him.
Jim Jamail and Barry Kile were
the big guns for their respective
teams, both going 2 for 3. Dau-
ghtry was the winning pitcher
and gave up only 3 hits.
On June 23, the Red Sox
bounced back into the win col-
umn by taking the Blue Sox in-
to camp by the score of 6-2.
Helm on the mound for the Red
Sox gave up one hit while his
mates were getting 4 hits off
Nicholson.
Tie Game
In the second game of the
night, we saw a tie game be-
tween the Orioles and the
Braves. McAleer started for the
Orioles but Elkins had to come
in and put out the fire in the
5th inning. Brooks went the
distance for the Braves. The Or-
ioles picked up 3 hits and the
Braves were able to get only 2
hits.
In the first game on June 26,
the Athletics bounced into the
win column by a score of 5-2
over the Blue Sox. For the Ath-
I letics, Sutherland pitched 4 hit
i ball and helped his cause with
a double. Copelin the catcher
had a perfect night at the plate
I and Jimmy Yarter came through
with a pinch hit single in the
5th when the Athletics went a-
head. For the Blue Sox Midclle-
kauf started and was relieved
by Ferguson who in turn had
to be relieved by Nicholson. Per-
ritte for the Blue Sox was 1 for
1 at the plate.
Almost Perfect
The second game was a real
pitchers battle until the fateful
5th when the Red Sox got to
Brooks for 5 runs and the Red
Sox won going away by a score
of 5-0. On the mound for the
Red Sox, George Helm pitched
an almost perfect game when
he faced 1 over the minimum
number of batters. The only
thing to mar the perfect game
was a walk to Steve Pressly in
the 6th inning. Helm struck out
14 and Brooks struck out 13 and
gave up only 2 hits which went
to Barth and Byrd.
It appears as if the Red Sox,
coached by the Casey Stengel
(Bill Suda) of the Jr. Teen Age
Ball are about to run away from
the rest of the league.
When a man is pushed, tor-
mented, defeated, he has a
chance to learn something.
