All games start at p. m. MAPPING ON THE While most cities ait back ap3 about how nice it would -be "If we had a community recreation area," the little town of -Romney, W. is going ahead with plans to build an athletic center second to none. With a $12,000 contribution from Romney No.

1371, Loyal Order of fund was started toward establishing a living memorial" to Romney citizens who made the supreme sacrifice in World WarJI. An organization known as Romney, was formed with Ralph Basic, well-known district sports official, as chairman, and already $4,000 has been subscribed to the project. A plot of ground near Romney High School was donated to the undertaking by heirs of the Hiram Cooper estate and plans call for naming the upon completion. Cooper Memorial Field. With the donated property the Hampshire County community will have enough land for football and baseball fields, tennis courts- and plenty of space for track meets.

The West Virginia State Roads Commission is cooperating with the civic-mtn'ded residents in the project by granting use of its excavating machinery and employes 1 of the SRC are giving their services free in operation of the machinery. Already more than 11,000 cubic yards of dirt have been moved. The undertaking isn't expected to be completed for a year or two. The area will be either sodded or seed planted, and there is even talk of installing floodlights for night football and baseball. The season's first release of base- Mil batting averages In the Class North Carolina State League shows Cumberland's George Geatz eleventh among the circuit's hitters.

The former Port Cumberland American Legion second sacker, now holding down the same position for Thomasville, has belted out 22 hits 111 63 times at bat for a .349 average. He also scored 19 runs and batted In 10 others during his first 14 games. Sid Weinbach, who pitched the Allegany High diamond beam to the city and Tri-State Interscholas- Conference championships, only x) have the Campers lose both titles by forfeit when he was found tangible, is now hurling for Galax, in the Class Blue Ridge wheel. When last heard from, Weinbach had a record of two victories and no defeats, participating in five games and 32 Innings. Phil Fleming, sports-minded commander of Port Cumberland's American Legion post, leaves this week for a complete rest In a veterans' hospital.

Pleming, who was an all-around LaSalle High more than 10 years ago, is expected to be confined to the hospital until September. The "wise hoys" who flatly declared that Joe Geuta is finished as a baseball player -when the Bl- State League season got under way are "speechless" after his sterling performance Saturday. When the Cumberland Amvets routed Midland by an 18-4 count'at Taylor Field, Joe handled no fewer than 15 chances without an error, a feat which will probably be unequalled remainder of the season. The veteran second baseman had 10 putouts and five' assists and participated in all five of the Amvets' double plays. Regardless of the outcome of next Monday's meeting with Donnie Keiser, Jim Klosterman, Diamond A.

C. impresario, has been assured an opportunity of attempting to halt Randall Starkey's long home winning streak. The winner of the Klosterman- Celser scrap will tangle with Starkey the 147-pound open class finals of the tri-state amateur boxing tournament, June 9. But even if Jim loses, he has been promised by "Sparky" Chisholm, Starkey's manager, that will meet "Skeets" on the Royale A. next card, probably the lattar part of June.

Yankees Hand Red Sox Worst Defeat Of Year Spirit Born Of Last Revolution Blazes AB New Yorkers Bludgeon Champs, 17-2 By JOE REICHLER. Associated Press Sports Writer That explosion you just heard was the rumor of Yankee dissension blowing up.

The new Yankee 'spirit born of last week's "revolution" continued to blaze fiercely in the Stadium yesterday when the New Yorkers bludgeoned the Boston Bed Sox 17-2, handing the American League champion the worst beating any big league club has absorbed this year. Before the cannonading was over, a total of 17 hits, good' for 29 bases caromed off Yankee bats as 'the aroused Bronx Bombers won their third straight from the Bed Sox. The victory carried the New York- erg into third place past the Red Sox, who dropped to fourth, ft marked the fourth straight win for the Yankees since their "Insurrection" last Wednesday when six of their members including Joe DiMaggio and Charlie Keller were fined by President Larry MacPhail for refusing to pose for pictures In a promotional venture. MacPhail claimed that the players had promised to do BO. Williams Raps Homer A home run by Williams, his llth of the season, with one on in the ninth, accounted for the only runs Boston-has made against the Yanks in three games.

The Yanks were still three games behind the league-leading Tigers, who divided a doubieheader with the Chicago White Sox in Detroit. The Tigers, behind the seven-hit pitching of Hal Newhouser, won the opener handily, 10-1. but the White bounded back, to win the second game 8-2. In the only other American League game, Washington, paced by Stan Spence's three-run homer In the first inning, defeated the Philadelphia i Athletics 3-1 in the opener of a scheduled doubleheadcr. The game was halted In the seventh inning by rain.

The second-game, was postponed. Bain also washed out scheduled doubieheader between St. Louis and Cleveland at Cleveland. Hartung Wins Third The New York Giants retained possession of first place in the National League pennant race by walloping the Boston Braves 9-3 In opener of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was baited with the Braves leading 4-3 in the top half of the fifth.

Clint Hartung, highly publicized outfielder turned pitcher, won Ws third game without a defeat although he was tagged for 11 MM. A six-run sixth inning broke up the game. The Giants' victory wax dimmed ay termination of Shortstop Buddy Kerr's major league record fielding skein which had been carried over from last year. Kerr, who had played through 68 consecutive games and 384 chances without an error, committed a bobble with two out in the ninth inning. It occurred on a hard hit grounder by Bob Elliott.

In moving swiftly to make a force play at second, Kerr dropped the jail and all hands were safe. The Chicago Cubs remained five points behind the Giants by eking out a 3-1 win over the Cincinnati Beds at Wrigley Field despite being held to three hits. The Jackie Robinson-led Brooklyn Dodgers nipped the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 at Ebbets Field to vault into third place, one game behind the leaders. Robinson belted two singles and his secorfd home run of the season to help Lefty Joe register his fifth victory against one defeat. The' Broolcs lead the fourth-place Braves by a half game.

The fifth-place Pittsburgh Pirates held the world champion St. Louis Cardinals to a split, coming back 10 win the second game of a double header-2-1 after dropping the opener 10-5. Major League LEADERS (By The Associated Press) NATIONAL LEAGUE Philadelphia, .383. New York, 36. Buns Boston, 33.

Greensburg Man Wins Honors In Western Maryland Shoot Rain Holds Field To 70 In Frostburg's All-Day Event; Frazier-Simplex Team Upset Despite intermittent downpours, the Western Maryland championship -rifle matches went off as scheduled yesterday on the Hoffman range of the Prostburg Rifle and Pistol Club. The rain held the field of shooters to disappointing total of 70 and caused the program to drag out almost three hours. The first morning match was an hour lat'e in starting and the final shot of the day wasn't fired until 7:45 p. m.

Featuring the event was the upset of Arthur Cook, national Junior champion of Washington, by Charles Whlpple, Greensburg, former Pennsylvania state titleholder Participating in the master's class, the University of Maryland sharpshooter lost by the thin margin of 14 X's, both shooters having posted idental scores of 1,193.

Her score was not complete but Beeman said she "definitely will be the winner." Mrs. Adelaide McCo'rd, Sewickley, recognized -national woman's champ, did not participate because of the Inclement weather, the same reason Wayne Moore gave for not taking part. Moore, who hails from Washington, is men's national champion. Frazier-SimPlex Beaten Probably the greatest surprise of the all-day shoot was the defeat of the highly-touted Praiier-Simplex team of Washington, Pa. The Washingtonians set a new world's record last year at Prostburg, but yesterday's firing found them, finishing second to the Waynesburg (Pa.) Sportsmen Association team Waynesburp had a 1.942-69X count, with Prazier-Slmplcx's total showing 1.919-72X.

The Berwyn Rod and Gun club was third with followed by LaVale, Port Hill and Cumberland. Three new national records hung up in Event No. 6, 10 shots prone and 10 shots standing, at 100 yards. Cook fired a nifty 188 -4x to finish as high in the men's division, with Mrs. Arvld Benson, Arlington leading the women with and Richard Washington, taking junior honors with 159- 4x All three are records because it marks the first time in history that such an event has been included in an outdoor tournament.

The Sentinels captured the city championship by shutting out LaSalle last Tuesday at Taylor Field. The Scarlet and White also trimmed the Explorers, 6-2, in the opening game of the series and defeated Allegany at Campobello to the tune of 4 to 1.

Either Larry Hansrote or Bob Doirmn will do the twilling for the Sentinels, with Tom Jamison In all probability getting the call for Allegany. Hansrote was returned the winner at Campobello, with Jamison the losing pitcher. If the pacesetting Beall High Mountaineers hurdle Hyndman today In the Mountain City and Allegany at Campobello on Thursday, the grand climax to the 1047 Tri- State Conference season will be set for next Monday when the Frostburg nine comes here to battle LaSalle. If Beall should split even in games this week that would tie the Moun- tles with the Explorers for the league's top berth and the winner of next week's game would be crowned champion. However, if Beall wins two games, LaSalle would have to beat the current pace setters to get a tie out of it.

LaSalle. is the only team to hold a decision over Beall. The score was 5-4. Kltzmiller High of Garrett county, winner of nine games in 10 starts, is playing LaSalle at Community Park foday. A return game between the teams Is set for Saturday in Kitzmiller.

The lone tussle of the rainy afternoon found the Cumberland Amvets racking up their fifth straight victory at the expense of the Romney Rockets in the West Virginia town. Gasoline was used in an attempt to dry the field following a downpour, but the players still resembled "mud horses" as churned through the gooey diamond pastures. With Danny Drew, Edgar "Ike" Cessna and Johnny Lecorcheck pacing a 16-hit attack, each getting three blows, the Red Sox clinched the battle by scoring six times in both the third and seventh innings. Lecorcheck hurled for until the ninth when the veteran 'Bob "Lefty" Appel took over with two outs after the Rockets had pushed over four runs in a belated roily! The Rockets used four pitchers, with Ellis Patterson being charged with the defeat. Junior WDodson and Ray Fryc each had three bingles in pacing Romney's 13-hit broadside, while Elaine Turner contributed the fielding gem with a running catch of Joe Geatz's long fly.

The Amvets' "Bee" Scarpelli also turned in a great stop in left-center of Woodson's torrid smash. Other Bi-State games halted by rain were: Mt.
