LONG BRANCH, NV JERSEY, N. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1948 World Series Play Gets Underway At Boston Today Sain Nominated To Face Feller In Mound Duel By LARRY MAZEL 'it begins to look as though there Green Wave Banker JV's In Tie, 0-0 An underdog Red Bank High School Junior Varsity football team outfaught a cocky Long Branch J. V. eleven yesterday at the Westwod Stadium, Lui had BOSTON, (JP) Prospects of chilling rain and mid-50 temperatures threatened today's World Series opener at Braves Field with Bobby Feller of the Cleveland Indians and Johnny Sain of the Boston Braves primed for a classic duel. Rain or not, the rollicking American League Champs with the bristling power in their batting order are strong 5 to 1 favorites to beat off the stubborn Braves with their Sain-Spahn pitching pair, in the best-of-seven series.

The Indians, who won the pennant from the Boston Red Sox Monday in the first tie playoff game in the League's history, are about 5 to 7 in the man-to-man wagering to take the opener behind HEAP BIG INDIANS These are three important tribesmen of the hustling Cleveland Indians ball club which battled its way right down to the wire before earning the right to meet Boston's National League entry this afternoon. Shown above are the stellar keystone combination of Manager Lou Boudreau and Joe Gordon at short and second base respectively, while rounding out the picture is fireballer Bob Feller, Boudreau's mound choice for today's game. Long Branch Golf Tourney Gets Underway On Sunday Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, JR BOSTON, (JP) Before the Indians settled down to the business of belting over the Red Sox in the one-game American League pen to be content with a scoreless tie. So weak was the Brancher attack that they never reached Red Bank territory and the closest they could come was their own 40. In fact the entire game was played in Long Branch territory with the exception of the last period when Gene Raab punted to the Buccaneer 48.

The best drive by any team was put on by Red Bank in the second period when they drove all the way to the Brancher 15 yard line before the Green and White took over. The drive was helped along more by penalities then by the offense of the invaders and the locals wound up theday with no less then 105 yards in penealties. The contest was a complete about face from the scrimmage last week when the J. V. squad coached by Chief Beatty ran through the first string reserves.

Yesterday, however, they would have had trouble running through the cheerleaders. The Beattymen were handicap ped still further by the loss of Charlie Marcella who only saw limited action due to a very bad hand. It was Marcella who showed up so well in the scrimmage against the first string reserves, A driving rain also came in for an assist in keeping the game on the ground as passes against the wind were impossible. Raab did good work in the punting department for the Green Wave as he kicked against the gale from his own end zone to save his team from defeat. LONG BRANCH JV R.

Lines man, Waller, by Play I pqI a 1 1 I smm I The Third annual Long Brancnf City, golf championships will get underway at Old Orchard Golf Course on Sunday afternoon with an expected strong field compet ing for the tourney honors. The tournament, limited to Long Branch and West Long Branch linksmen, has become a popular event in this area. Purpose of the play is to determine the best ama teur golfer in the Long Branch area. 1 The tourney will be conducted over a two day period covering 36 holes.

The first 18 will be run off on Sunday with the 12 best qualifiers competing in the finals following Sunday. There will be three trophies awarded. The first prize will be Hie Commissioner Joseph Tomaini award, the second the Chester A. Hirsch trophy. The committee is still seeking a sponsor for third place trophy.

Last year's tournament was a hotly contested affair which went to Joe Calabrese who defeated Jimmy Yannello in two playoff rounds each having carded a 149 medal score. Lou Acerra was third with 150. Russ Pingitore captured the laurels two years ago with a score of 152. Heading the committee in charge of arrangements is Lou Acerra. Assisting Acerra is Joe Bova.

Sea Hawks To Face Dumont A. A. Eleven And still they come.

As if the Seahawks haven't met enough champions this season already they will take on still another one this Friday night at the Stadium as they meet the Dumont A. A. This.high geared outfit is noth ing -less then the defending 1947 Bergen County title, holder and also copped the championship in 1940, '41, '45, and '46. Th team is coached by Ted Mitchell, former Holy Cross star of the 'early 1530's who is well fortified in football knowledge. The Bergen County champs are led by Hank Tobin, a 200 pound fullback, who hits the line with pile driving force and can do everything a star should with the pigskin.

Tobin is also the acting captain on the field for the invaders. Another classy performer is Dick Hanna who can really travel once he gets past the line of scrimmage. The visitors will present some nw and better faces as they attempt to win their loop title for the fourth straight year this cam paign. This game will also have a double incentive for the Dumont men as they will be out to avenge last years defeat at the hands of the Long Branch team who last year played under the banner of the Long Branch Field Club. Only five men are back in the starting eleven and they are Capt.

Tobin the triple threat man mentioned before, Andy Rasmussen good blocker at quarter, Mickey James at center, Bob Peterson at tackle, and Barclay Davis at end. The only other returnees from last season are Bob Kilpatrick and Rfck Huff. Fans who traveled to Dumont last year will long remember the game which the Branchers copped in the third period 8-7 after trail ing from the first minutes 7-0 due to an 85 yard dash by Brad Jenkins who will be missing from Fridays game with no loss to Long Branch. 1 If the game is only half as good as last seasons battle the capacity crowd expected will get its moneys worth as that game was one of the most savage affairs to ever take place in Bergen County. A big feature in favor of the Seahawk management is the fact Friday nights game will be the only one played in the city this week end as both the High school who travel to Carteret Saturday and the Indians who meet Point Pleasant will do so on foreign soil.

Bishops Top Zebras, 6-0 NEW BRUNSWICK The Asbury Park High School reserves repeated the victory their older schoolmates had gained over the local JayVees here this afternoon, and by the same 6-0 margin. The battle, like the Varsity contest on Friday, was a defensive struggle with the work in the lines featur ing, but Bill Robbins was able to break away on the 9 yard mark and smash through the Sdbra defense for the only score of the game late in the second quarter. Perry and Keller at center, Kling-er in a guard position, D'Esposito at tackle, and Corbo on the end gave the best performances in the Bishop forward wall, while Wright, Apicelh, McKinley, Vetrano, and Strada shared offensive honors with Robbins. The Previte brothers iin the guard slots, together with Stagada on the end, proved best defensively for the Zebras, though Pozsonyi did a fine job in backing up the line. Benhardt at half back bids fair to rival the fame of his older brother Herbie, while La-Salle at quarter drove his club in clever fashion.

Friday night the Seahawks played perhaps one of the best teams along the coast tt the Staten Island Indians and toe game was a thriller, but there were only about 1100 fans on hand to. witness the encounter. The next afternoon on a Saturday the high school opened its season with about 1500 fans on hand. This should have been a capacity crowd with the weather being what it was and no high school game in Red Bank or Asbury Park. The worst was yet to come however as the Long Branch Indians played the Lake-wood entry in a Shore League game on Sunday and there were only 500 spectators in the stands.

Last year when the Long Branch Field Club played Asbury Park at the High School there were about 5000 fans despite the fact it was late in December with the football Season on the wane. This Friday there is another all-star attraction on tap at the Stadium with the Seahawks meeting the Dumont A. A. in an arc-light affair. This should draw a large crowd as it will be the only game in town over the week end with the high school at Carteret and the Indians away at Point Pleasant.

The final analysis however must be that Long Branch no matter how sports minded cannot support the three teams and do justice to all three. To use plain talk how many of the sporting crowd can afford six dollars for ball games each week end? That's what it amounts to if a student takes his girl or a man takes his wife to all the contests. Heres hoping next year that the city has one good team in or out of any league that the whole community can get behind and spur on to big things for themselves and the supporters who will be behind them as they were last year when the Long Branch Field Club stood head and shoulders above every team in this section and drew well at the gate no matter the opposition. Frosh Beaten RED BANK It was a good day yesterday for Red Bank High School against its old rival Long Branch because the Frosh Football team eked out a 6-0 victory oigr the Brancher Yearlings in a -hip and tuck ball game all the way. This plus the fact that the Red Bank J.

outplayed the Green Wave Juniors to achieve a shutout gives what most Red Bank fans will say is a near perfect day. The Green and White only had one chance to score on an intercepted pass but the player who did the intercepting tripped in the clear over his own feet and prevented the Vandermark coached team from gaining at least a tie for their efforts. The contest was played under the worst conditions possible a factor that hampered both teams. In the semi-final match in the national tennis championship at Forest Hills, Jaroslav Drobny of Czechoslovakia and Richard (Pan-cho) Gonzales of California scored 43 service aces between them.

And part-owner Hank Greenberg remarked 'its a beautiful day for the game.

I wish we didn't have to play it." We haven't figured out yet what they were worrying about. They had a guy named Lou Boudreau out there who did a very good job of taking care of things. Two homers is about all you could expect of a guy who also has to shoulder the task of managing a ball club. GIVE 'EM THE AIR A broadcasting company offered $50,000 for the rights to yester day playoff game and got them free when Tom Yawkey decided the struggle should be aired "as a public service." Bill Veeck, who knows how much a buck is worthy didn't like the idea. Jack Onslow, new White Sox manager, and Fred Hoey, veteran Boston newspaperman, were ousted from broadcasting jobs at the same time.

Said Onslow to Hoey who had only been writing for about 50 years "if we had good writers this wouldn't happen."

Long lines clogged the streets around the Braves ticket offices last night as they put on sale 2,500 standing room permits.

Some 1,500 seats in the "jury box" bleachers in right field also have been sold as well as about grandstand tickets at $6, about 17.800 pavilion seats at $5 and boxes at $8. It adds ud to a gross gate of around $208,000, after the taxes, most of the remainder goes to the players who are counting on a fat payday. Boston's last series was in 1946 when the Red Sox met the St. Louis Cards at Fenway Park but the Braves' loyal fans have been waiting since 1914. That was the year George Stallings' "miracle men" upset the highly favored Philadelphia A's in four straight games.

For every one of the 7 teams remaining on the Green Wave schedule posted victories in their most recent contests. Asbury Park, on the other hand faces four winners, two losers, and one that played a scoreless tie. Red Bank loser, and' will face 5 winners, 1 the same scoreless tie. The Green Wave rolls to Carteret on Saturday, to face the Rambler eleven that took Union 20-6, and returns home the following week to face Linden, 13-6 conqueror of Manasquan. South River, next on the list, had some trouble with Bound Brook, winning a 14-7 victory, but the next two weeks the Branchers are at home against Hamilton, who took Pemberton 34-0, and Morristown, who outclassed Snyder of Jersey City, 33-0.

Asbury Park and Red Bank, who won 6-0 victories over New Brunswick and Princeton respectively, wind up the Green Wave log. The Bishops on Saturday are at home to Irvington, who absorbed a 0-6 beating at the hands of Gar field, and, after a week's lay-off, trek to Camden for a night game. SaVd The the Panthers after their contest with Red Bank, conqueror of Princeton. Long Branch, who had no trouble with Linden, follow the Perth Amboy engagement, after which the Bishops travel to Atlantic City to meet the club that took Germantown, by a 13 6 margin on Friday last. Their season closes on Thanksgiving Day against Neptune, who played a 0-0 tie with Atlantic Highlands.

Coach Frank Pingitore's Red Bank club, which, according to preseason dope were expected to go winless, upset that dope in their first start, and appear likely to add more laurels as time goes on, though their task is a tough one. Their next start will be against Manasquan, whose string of 21 straight with a defeat was broken by Linden, l-6, on Saturday. Rumson, a surprise winner over Toms River 6-0 is next on the agenda, followed by the highly regarded Leonardo club, which took Keyport 13-0. South River, 14-7 winner over Bound Brook; Asbury Park, 6-0 conqueror of New Brunswick, precede their annual strug gle with Neptune, and their season ends on Thanksgiving Day with their perennial rival, Long Branch, who opened auspiciously by trouncing Linden, 27-6.
