The Merchants will operate In the Union County Baseball League, opening their season during the first week of May and closing in early September. The league will be almost the same as it was in 1947 and will include teams from Westfield, Linden, two from Elizabeth, Union, Cranford, Garwood, Roselle, besides the Plainfield entry. The Somerville nine dropped out of the Union County Loop to enter the newly formed Central Jersey League which sports the Plainfield Pirates as one of its six entries. There is also doubt about the Railway entry. It is feared that the Ranway nine may drop out, but as yet they have taken no action to this end.

(JP) Arlington Downs, where the American Auto mobile Association championship was determined last November in the first big-time racing ever held in the Southwest, is going to start the ball rolling this year. Apr. 25, the Downs dirt will be the scene of the opening race in the national tour of the daredevils, of the speedways.

There will be probably a dozen such races during the year and another one of them is to be held here in the fall.

The April date will permit the drivers the first opportunity in 20 years to test their equipment and driving skill before running the 500-mile Indianapolis Speedway classic May 31, Babe Stapp of Los Angeles, head of the racing set-up at Arlington Downs, points out.

The stakes here will be $10,000 or 40 per cent of the gate receipts, whichever is larger, and a field of 25 cars is expected to enter. Trials will cut the number to 16 for the big race. Indianapolis Next After the Downs race will, come the Indianapolis classic, three races at Milwaukee, one of Langhorne, one at Bainbridge, Ohio, one at Atlanta and two at Springfield, 111. Several more probably will be added, Stapp says. The AAA championship is determined on a point basis.

Arlington Downs, which was a horse racing plant when pari-mutuel betting was legal in Texas, can accommodate 35,000 fans. Last year, when the first race was held at the Downs, bad weather caused postponement for a week but still a crowd of 25,000 turned out.

New Brunswick Given Franchise New Brunswick (JP) After al most two months of. negotiations and repeated conferences among club owners, New Brunswick was granted authorization for a professional baseball team for the first time in history. This city will field the former New London team in the Colonial League, according to an announcement by John Scalzi, loop president.

Ted Laviano, president of the team, said his request for the transfer was motivated by the fact that New London weather last year was so unpredictaMe that many games had to be cancelled. The team has been granted per mission to rent the Municipal Stadium for games, and Laviano said that improvements would be started immediately. The team is expected to play three night games a week and doubleheaders on Sunday at home. Ed Butka, former Washington first-baseman, managed New London, which finished fourth in the six- team circuit last year. No one has been signed thus far for this season, Laviano said.

Other teams in the league are Stamford, Waterbury and Bridgeport, and Poughkeepsie and Port Chester, N. Y. Special REGULAR $5.00 VALUE TIRED? OVERWEIGHT? SLUGGISH?

Fourth Plainfield; ton. Play With Amazons The trio, all friends and members of the Irvington -Amazons girls basketball team, rate as pretty good prospects for the baseball league, says Max Carey, league president and former Brooklyn Dodger manager. Carey watched the three bat, pitch, catch and field in a huge indoor armory before he picked them from among 100 applicants from six eastern states. Also chosen were three girls from Rhode Island, three from New York, two from Connecticut and one from Massachusetts. All will get a month's training with the league and then, if they measure up to standards, will be rated for ball-playing jobs paying from $55 to $100 a week.

PHS Graduate The youngest of the New Jersey winners, Helen waiuiiK, noney-haired and slim, was graduated from Plainfield High School last June. Three years of playing soft- ball at school and with the Perth Amboy Cardinalettes were behind her when she stepped up to the plate to show the batting and run ning form Carey liked. "Sure I'm going," Helen said, as she stood with her hands in the pockets of faded blue dungarees. Dark-haired, pretty Irene Lionikis, a pharmaceutical plant worker, who thinks baseball is a "good game," was ready to give up her job for, a chance at bigtime baseball. A right-handed pitcher, she said she'd been playing Softball for rlO years, some of the time with the Cardinalettes.

Clerk Dorothy Hoff, slim, shy 24-year-old, said she began playing ball "on playgrounds with the fellows." She's had softball experience with the Linden Arians and the Brooklyn Celtics. Kay Blumetta Helps The girls got a little indication of what they can expect from Teeny Petras, 24, of Irvington, who plays shortstop with the Grand Rapids (Mich.) team of the league, and Kay Blumetta, 24, of 332 Clin ton Plainfield, pitcher with the" Fort Wayne (Ind.) squad. Six of the league regulars helped out with the four-hour tryouts, which were forced indoors by rain. Spring training is tough, Teeny and Kay admitted. The day starts at 7 a.m., includes a four-hour morning workout and afternoon practice sessions until 5 p.m.

During the season, May 9 to Sept. 6, the teams play five weekday games and two on Sunday. They travel from city to city by private cars, with chaperons. Players wear short, athletic skirts, knee-length socks, peaked baseball hats and spiked shoes. Slacks are prohibited, and "lipstick is a must," says President Carey, i The league, which has been in operation for five seasons, attracted nearly a million fans last year.

Proceeds are contributed to youth recreation and charity. Case, Deickman, Tie for Honors W. T. Case of New Brunswiek and Fred Deickman of Brooklyn tied for first place in the class one shooting at the Climax Gun Club Saturday afternoon, each posting perfect scores of 50. George Clark was third with 48.

In class two competition four gunmen had to split the pot as Fred Tompkins of Irvington, Ray Lanterman of Morristown, T. Smith of Chatham and Hans Beck- man of Sewaren tied for first place with 44 each. In third class shooting there was a five way knot for the honors as A. Deickman, Brooklyn, Edward Barr, Scotch Plains, Paul Kelly, Montclair, John Weiss, Easton, Pa. and Edgar Bloom, Trenton, all posted scores of 40.

The Climax Club leads a four team league by four targets. Other teams in the league -are; North Jersey Gun Club, Flemington Gun Club, and the Sourland Mountain Gun Club of Hopewell. W. T. Case leads the league with a total of 98 out of a possible 100.
