Elizabethville Drops to Fourth Position Pillow Surprises Opponents by Coming Through With 7 to 5 Victory The fifth place Pillow outfit surprised Elizabethville last eve ning when they came through with a 7 to 5 victory to drop Eliza bethville from third to fourth place in the Tri County League, It looked for a walk away for Elizabethville when they, pushed four markers across in the first inning, but Pillow came right back in the second and third frames to score seven runs, Elizabethville scored their other tally in tfie sixth inning. Latska was the big gun for the victors. Aside from collecting three hits out of four trips to the plate he also registered a home run in the third inning with three runners on board. Hain and Buffington appeared to be the sluggers for the Elizabethville club collecting three hits out of four trips to the plate.

One of Hain's clouts went for three bases. It was a tough contest for Elizabethville to lose since their hurlers limited the victors to four safeties, three of which were registered by Latska.

Monday's Schedule Allison at McCullough. (Seventh and Oxford streets at o'clock). Glorifying the Local Athlete By JACK C0NLIN, Sports Editor They Have the Sluggers So many baseball fans wonder why the Tri County League attracts so much interest but a glimpse at the batting averages released recently will explain everything. When we find boys clipping it off above the four, hundred mark then we begin to realize just what it is that attracts the attention of the fans. Bill Byerly, right fielder for Loyalton, is heading the parade with a percentage of .480, which is made up of eight home runs, eleven two base hits 1 and ten three base hits.

Jack It? Conlin Next to Byerly comes George Lutz, second baseman for Williamstown, who is clubbing the horsehide at a .455 clip. M. Buffington, catcher for Gratz has the third place honors having a percentage of .445. Then comes Milton Wiest, catcher of Pillow with .440. Three batters are sharing the .400 honors.

Norman Devers, shortstop for Williamstown, George Zimmerman, catcher for Williamstown and Ben Warlow, first baseman for Williamstown all have .400. Art Miller, catcher for Loyalton is slugging the old apple at a .355 clip, while Fred Bingaman, second baseman for Gratz has a .350 average to his credit. And while we are speaking of the Tri County League we must tell you about John Evans, pitcher for Williamstown, who has fourteen wins and one Joss to his credit for the season. The To Meet For Golf Honors Patty Berg and Miss Estabrooks Chicago, Aug. 27, (ff) A pair of school girls, Patty Berg, freck led faced redhead from Minneap olis and Edith Estabrooks of Du buque, a bespectacled young ster of 17, will battle today for the women's Western Closed golf championship in a 36 hole final at Olympia Fields Country Club.

Miss Berg, playing another sen sational round of sub par golf charged through the 18 hole semi finals yesterday with a 3 and 2 triumph over Shirley Ann John son, Chicago, But the real heroine was sturdy, littleMiss Estabrooks, the former Western junior champion who was forced to go 23 nerve wrack ing holes to conquer Mrs. Burt Weil, seasoned campaigner from Cincinnati, one up on the fifth extra green. The Dubuque miss staged a brave and strong battle all the way, with Mrs. Weil also displaying plenty of courage. Going to the 15th hole, Mrs.

Weil was one down. She touched her ball there, drawing a penalty shot that cost her the hole and put her two down. She came back, however, to take the 16th by sinking an eight foot putt for a deuce. After halv ing the 17th, she won the 465 yard 18th with a birdie four, squaring the match. They halved the first four extra holes, each with birdies on the 'second.

Then on the next, with each driving into the bunkers, Miss Estabrooks won with two putts for a bogey five while Mrs. Weil three putted from 30 feet, missing a four foot effort to take a six. The victory of the 20 year old Minneapolis marvel saw her play ing off the pace she set early in the week, but she still was under par for the 16 holes. She was one up on Miss John' son at the turn, and increased her lead at the 14th, when Miss Johnson drove Into the creek and picked up. Miss Berg clinched the match by winning the 552 yard 15th with a par five, to Miss Johnson's six, and halving the 16th, but a short chip shot stopped 12 feet from the cup.

Miss Berg meanwhile had hooked her tee shot over the green and into the rough. Her second again was over the green, but she chipped up to within a foot of the cup. only" team that can boast of a victory over Evans is the Pillow outfit, which although they did not manage to get in the first division, nevertheless, they played a fine brand of ball for the season andare deserving of due. credit. At one point in the season Evans registered three victories in four days.

He has been doing remarkable work for the Williamstown club and it is through his efforts that the club has finished first in the league standing. 1 Another pitcher 'doing a mighty fine job is E. Wiest, of Pillow. He has attracted considerable attention during the entire season and when he is not on mound duty he fills in afc first base, and surprising as it may seem he covers the initial sack in fine style. He has the ambitions of moving up in baseball circles and there is every indication that he will succeed.

IT'S IN THE FAMILY While football fans are lauding the work of Coach Ralph Farina, of harrisburg Catholic High School, there happens to be another member of the Farina family who is doing right well for himself in football circles. He is Nicholas Farina, brother of Ralph, who is coaching at Lawrence High School, Long Island. Last season Nicholas coached the Lawrence school to championship laurels, taking eleven straight games. Nicholas is a graduate of Steelton High School and received his diploma from Bucknell University in 1932. He was center and captain oi the Bucknell eleven in 1932.

(flV A plucky little Cleveland WPA worker and a cool headed railroad man from Oregon fought their way into the finals of the National Public Links Golf Championship yesterday with one of the victories representing the greatest comeback in the tournament's 17 year history. Al Leach, 26 year old Cleveland city public links titleholder, after being seven down at the end of 18 holes, defeated Bart Taro of Seattle, one up over 36 holes. Louis Cyr of.

Portland, who overcame a three hole deficit to eliminate a fellow townsman, Eddie Beck, also by a one hole margin. Leach and Cyr will meet today in the 36 hole final. Leach, employed as a timekeeper by the Works Progress Administration, crashed into the finals with a spectacular reversal of form. In the morning round he held the 16 year old Taro even for four holes and then went to pieces before the Seattle youngster's steady game. At nine holes, Leach was three down and at the end of 16, trailed by eight holes, making one of them up by taking the 18th as Taro missed a short putt.

Hitching up his belt and re marking: "I'll give him a battle yet," the 130 pound Leach halved the 19th and 20th holes and then won the next two with a par and a (birdie as Taro's tee shots became wild. Taro, with one out of bound drive and several pulled seconds, lost the 24th and 25th before he steadied to take the 26th with a birdie. Leach picked up two more holes as Taro was short on the 27th and in a trap on the 29th. A great second shot led to a birdie and a win for Leach on the 30th and he was only one down. After halving four holes Leach squared the match on the 35th with' a par 4 as the obviously tired, nervous Taro failed to get on in tow.

On the 36th, Leach's drive bounced into and out of a creek and he was on in three and down with two putts. Taro, flub bing his second and pulling his third, was on in four and missed an eight footer which would have kept him in the battle. Tourney officials said Leach's victory was the finest uphill battle in the history of play for the national fee course title. Cyr, who entered match play as the' 64th qualifier after winning a playoff from 17 other contestants, made his comeback with steady, par golf. Three down after eighteen holes, he won the first Wble of the afternoon round, took the 24th as Beck trapped' his tee shot and squared the match on the 26th with a brdie.

They halved the next; six holes before Cyr went ahead on the 33rd with a par as Beck took a bogey four. Cyre halved the next three holes to win out. In addition to Beck, Cyr previously had eliminated two other fellow townsmen, Wes Berner and Tab Boyer. To Meet For Laurels Shippensburg and Newville The Cumberland Valley baseball title is at stake.

Second West End Series Tilt One Run in Final Inning McCullough After 3 Run Ar Dettling's timely single in the last frame scoring Garverich who had opened with a double gave the Allison HiU Civic Asso ciation club a 4 to 3 win and its second consecutive victory over the McCullough A.

C. in the West End Twilight League playoffs. More than 3500, the largest crowd of the season, turned out last evening as Manager Bill Kurtz' boys took a two game lead in the championship series in a well played battle that found sandlot baseball at its best. By virtue of the win the Hillmen are top heavy favorites to cop the city title as they need but one victory in the remaining three games. Highlighting the game was the effective relief twirling of June Henry, Allison's ace right hander, who was inserted into the breech in the seventh after McCullough had pushed across three runs on four consecutive base hits to tie the count.

With Daniels perched on second and none out Henry bore down and quelled the uprising without permitting a run. Both clubs used southpaw twirl ers to start the game. Lem Hahn, youthful Middletown High School star, was on the mound for Allison while the veteran Walter Boyer was toiling for McCulltfugh For six innings Allison held the upper hand and a three run ad vantage as Hahn limited the up town club to twd hits and com pletely dominated the situation. In the seventh frame Hahn weak ened and the complexicm of the game changed as McCullough un leashed its base hit barrage. Boyer, wno pitched a steady game, was replaced in the seventh inning by R.

Ross after Garverich doubled to center. Dettling's single, that sent Garverich home with the win ning tally, was garnered off Ross Allison tallied two runs in the opening frame. Gaspari drew a walk and advanced to second when Coburn was safe on Boyer's bad throw to first. Garverich drilled a single to left and the bases were loaded. Carl Ross looped a sacri fice fly to left field admitting Gaspari and Coburn was.

thrown out at home by Billett on Huber's grounder. The bases were again all occupied when Dettling walked and Allison scored their second run when Brandt was hit by a pitched ball forcing Garverich across. Huber's triple to right followed by Dettling's single gave Allison their third run in the fifth inning Doubles by Black and Kitch fol lowed by singles by Mulligan and Daniels accounted for McCul lough's three runs in the seventh.

27, (ff) Ortelo William (Ted) West, 45 year old county highway super tendent from Coshocton, won the Grand American Handicap trapshoot yesterday and Mrs. George Peters of Springfield, won the feminine division of the clay target world series. The king and queen of the traps were forced into extra heats to take the laurels. West defeated Parr" Rhines, 37 year old hardware merchant of Marseilles, 111., in a shootoff 23 to 22 after they had knoteed at 99 out of 100 in the big classic to outshoot a field of 811.. West, was making his eighth start in the big meet, while Rhines' attempt was his first in big time.

Mrs. Peters had to shoot it out with Mrs. Lela Hall, four time National clay target champion from Strasburg, after they had knotted at 93 out of 100. The champion of the Ohio women, cracked 24 in the shootoff while Mrs. Hall, twice winner of the women's grand, broke but 22.

Mrs. Peters is the daughter of Charles (Sparrow) Young, who scored an equally startling victory in 1926 when he cracked 100 in a row from the 23 yard mark to capture the Grand American. The new Grand American king said he had been shooting at clay targets for the last 17 years, but had never before won anything worth having. His victory today was worth in the neighborhood of $3000. Mrs.

Peters broke more than her illustrious dad, who cracked 87 from the 22 yard line in a vain attempt to become the first person in history to repeat the Grand. Nine other former champions who also fell by the wayside were F. G. Carroll, Brecksville, 93; B. F.

Cheek, Clinton, 93; L. G. Dana, Derrick City, 92; Walter Beaver, Conshohocken, 86; A. E. Sheffield, Dixon, 111., 88; Mose Newman, Sweetwater, 93; I.
