SPORTORIALS By JOHN H. Sports Editor. Members of tha Connellsville Booster Club will to Camp Wildwood Tuesday i where the Coker fcrid squad cian- didatei! will be' treated to a motion picture, "Haimon of Michigan," featuring Tommy Harmon, the all-American star of Michigan. Resident Charles Enos said all of the boosters should make dlort to go to the camp -to ihow to the players that they are behind them. Incidentally, the movie will be shown at East Park at o'clock Wednesday night, provided it doesn't rain.

Bill Power, Che grid mentor at Point Marlon High, is optimistically loolcng forward to the 1945 agenda of his Pointers. Seven lettermen who will return to form the nucleus of his eleven include End Andy Kocerka, Guard Bob Kirkwood, Center Lou Ziccarelli, Guard Canava Caruso, Batik George Kocerka, Eddie Ko- tosk'i and Fullback Chuck Wyda. BITS III1RE AND THERE he will not play." Too many coaches don't have the courage to say such things and mean them. Ray Wild has taken over the football coaching chores at Latrobe High and he lost no tune in reading the riot act to the Wildcat Wild, who has been discharged from, tne Army, made it clear to the grid squad that the training rules must be strictly adhered to by every player and those who don't like should turn in their uniforms pronto as he has no time to fool around with them? The training rules follow 1, no smoking or chewing of tobacco; 2, off the streets by 9:45 P. M.

and in bed as soon as possible; 3, no dates; 4, eating of tf.ie right kind of food with plenty of salt and at least three meals a day, and 5, no pastries. Wild will build his club around Fred Felbaum, Ned Khqrey, Ray Kridle, Charles Barlock, senior lettennen, and Jim McDowell and Bobby. Mazero, junior lettermen. The Latrobe coach added "just because a boy is out for football, it does? not necessarily mean that he must not study. Studies in high school come first and if a student does not keep his studies up to par, The black market in baseball finds minor league clubs asking fantastic prices for stars wanted by big league clubs who happen to be in dire straits for players.

When a big league scout finds a likely prospect in the minors, he soon is made to feel like a housewife who has to part with family jewels to obtain a decent steak. A typical example of would-be, "get-rich-quick-Wallingfords" In the bush leagues was disclosed during the recent search of the New York Giants for a replacement for Phil Weintraub at first base. One of the Giants' scouts had recommended Les Scarselia, the first'sacker of the Oakland Club in the Pacific Coast League. The Oakland management demanded a wad of cash and two players. The Giants complied with these requirements, only to find that the deal still was not closed, due to demands by Scarselia himself.

Scarselia blandly informed the New York club that he had a four-point program of his own. First, he asked that his $6,000 salary was to 'be doubled immediately. Second, he wanted a two-year contract at $12,000 per year. Third, the New York club was to pay for his transportation to the East and back to the Coast again. Fourth, it the Giants should decide to get rid of him, he wanted to be seni back to the Coast League instead of to some other part of the country.

The plight of the Giants at the time was so desperate that they actually agreed to all of Scar- sclla's demands. Then, to top it all, the first baseman calmly announced he had changed his mind, and preferred to stay on the Coast after all. During these lengthy negotiations, the Giants naturally called off all other deals for a first baseman. As a result, considerable time was lost during a critical situation, to say nothing of the traveling expenses involvde. SIX GAMES ARRANGED FOR PERRY HIGH CLUB Principal Earle E.

Champion Ike Williams will meet Sammy Angott, former holder of the title, in Pittsburgh September 17. The title, however, will not be at stake, an announcement today said, since Angott, who fought his first fight in nine months only last Monday, is over the top weight limit of 140 pounds. Angott, of Washington, has met the champion twice and each time lost in split decisions. About next month's match, Angott said: "I wouldn't mind taking off weight for a title match. If I win over Williams, I'll be all for meeting him for the title.

And I'll be ready for him this time. All I need was that one fight under my belt." Making his second comeback attempt, Sammy has his eye on the welterweight crown now held by Red Cochrane. He opened his comeback by fighting Gene Burton of New York to a draw last Monday night. FIRST MAJOR LEAGUE BALL PLAYER to enter the service and just now discharged, Sgt.

(International Sound-photo) improvement Shown By Dunbar Township Club After Short Training By WAYNE MORSE DUNBAR TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL A QUARTERS, Trent, Somerset county, Aug. Dunbar Township High Mules are engaging in stiff workouts and have been showing some improvements in the early training at this Somerset county park under the direction of Head Coach Armand Niccolai who holds high hopes of being able to have three complete teams when the curtain goes up on the 1945 campaign at Trotter Stadium Thursday night; September 6, with Marion Generals putting in a local appearance. After tfaree days of limbering up, the Leisenring Mules have started to dc- some scrimmaging and show promise of developing into a rugged and fast combination. Led by the brilliant Bill Gil- the line is rounding into shape and should cause plenty of trouble for opposing ball carriers, The passing of Wright, a sophomore, has caught fancy of Coaches Niccolai and Earl Trump who feel that he may eventually win himself a startinfj post in the backfteld. Noble Hardy, the tall end, is also showing up well in the training and should be a big threat to the foes.

The knvnshippers have scheduled two practice games with the Homestead squad which is training at a nearby camp and these performances may give the local mentors a better chance to see how their charges will react under fire. But the agenda for the 42 candidates for the Red. and Blnck var- 11 continues unchanged in principle. It's work, work and more work. After Swim Honors NEWS OF DAY AT OHIOPYLE OHIOPYLE, Aug.

COUNTY POLISH OUTING SUNDAY AT SHADY GROVE THE DAILY COURIER, CONNELLSVILLB, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1945. By LAWTON CARVE INS Sports Editor By CASWELL ADAMS Pinch-Hitting for Lawton Carver, I.

N. S. Sports Writer. NEW YORK, Aug. is probably the greatest single threat to hit golfdom since Bobby Jones stopped embarrassing the pros was unveiled today.

This threat was in the person of one Freddie Haas, out of New Orleans and points south, and 30 years old. Up till last week Freddie Haas was just a golf player; and an amateur (hated word!) at that. He'd won a couple of regional crowns and made a name for himself in and out of the bayous, and not much further. But then the 13-thousand buck Memphis open got under way, and it was some open. Nelson was there, and Vic Ghezzi and Sammy Snead and Jug McSpaden.

But for all that, Nelson, Snead might just have well stood in bed. Our young amateur Freddie Haas lanked his way to scores of 69, 69, 64 (a record) and 68 to take first money, although since he was an amateur that word "money" must remain a figurative hunk of moolah, George Low, a pro out of Clearwater, was low man on the professional totem pole and so raked in the pot. It seems that a spirited amateur who can step in and take the cream of the country's professional crop over the ropes is just what the sport needs. Fi Ouimet got the ball rolllr 1913 when he left a ho money-boys red-faced and 1 bling; then there was the in parable Bobby Jones; and Johnny Goodman, who triura in the national open back in And if, as the professionals watched and battled Mr. Haa week claim, his presence sents a hefty shot in the arn golf, it is all to the good.

Bee few sports have done the wai that golf has done. We're not talking aboul benefits to the front line so (picture the intrepid golf firh the 80s through the hazards man's tut as a therapi measure for convalescent ans, golfing has no equal. A hospital after hos throughout the country, woui men, some with one arm or leg, can be seen day after teeing oft on especially consti ed links, under the guidano able professionals both in out of service, men who willi give of their time and talen see that the returning soldier pleasure out of the solid thv of a mashie against golf ball. And now, with golf balls clubs back in production, links once again getting the im needed care they deserve, gol coming back into Its own. And golf is one sport that re rates.
