THE STARHERALD: Thursday. August 1880 Raiders Chicago city champs; Sandburg's Revord lost indefinitely 'Continued from Ptee i yew hurt the Eagle football team Last year ia addition to Revord's injury, Sandburg lost quarterback Scott Crucbot at a crucial point in the season, and before that Tim McConnick missed some tune with a foot problem. "We really have (a jinii seems," said Eade after recalling a few more key injuries even prior to last fall. "It seems we're forced to be competitive without our best football players." Saturday night An eight-run second inning against the Flashes featuring eight hits, all singles proved to be all they needed. Eleven of the Raiders' 12 hits the game were only singles.

In the title game, a four-run sixth broke open a one-run game to take the ind out of the Rollers' sails. FOUR STRAIGHT hits to lead off the sixth kept the Rollers busy in the field Each of those four men eventually scored to build the cushion from 3 2 to 7-2. Mike Kelleher. the big stick Saturday for the Raiders with six total hiU for the night, batted in the first run of that big sixth. Mike, brother John and Bob McClelland each had three hits in the game.

The Rollers, who advanced to the championship game on the strength of a 2-0 win over the Flamingos, scored their only two runs on sacrifice flies. In the opening 11-0 romp past the Flashes. 12 Raiders strolled to the plate in the big second inning, eight of thctn scoring The Flashes only once got a man as far as third base MIKE KELLEHER once again led the offensive charge with three hits. Mike Gager and Tom Kelleher collected two hits apiece. I i- DAVE REVORD By TERRY BROWN "We had to play sii games last week to ia the Metro tournament in Harvey Plus we had three guys Injured and another was getting married." Does this sound like a coach who has just won the Chicagoland ilo-pttce championship? However.

Hugo "Bird" Arquilla was talking after his Harvey Raiders had swept through an eight-team tournament over the weekend in Blue Island's John Hart stadium made up of inners of the eight Chicago Metros THE RAIDERS roared past the Rollers 12 in the Saturday night title game. It remains questionable, however, as to the Importance of winning the Chicago-land tournament. Ferris KeeA, Metropolitan Chicago Softball commissioner, indicated be hoped the tourney would be used to seed Chicago teams ia the national tournament to begin tomorrow night In Marshalltown, Iowa. That was the original intention of the tournament until a year ago when some of Chicago's best were stacked into the same bracket with the defending champion Bobcats. If the tournament is not used as a barometer of sorts in seeding Chicago clubs, then perhaps there was justification for the ho-Jium atmosphere created by the small Saturday night turnouts in the stands.

"It must have been worth something." Arquilla said "We got a pretty good sued trophy out of it PLCS, ARQUILLA got to learn a little more about some of the players who had sat on the bench a great deal during the season. Although Arquilla didnt want to single out any players who were standouts in the tourney, be did say, "Everyone has been mstumental on this team to some degree," Arquilla said. Other than missing players. Arquilla's only other gripe was with the bases There was CO feet between them rather than the usual 55. "You wouldn't believe what a difference those extra five feet make." Arquilla said.

"Anyone will tell you that we have good defense, but this tournament didn't see any high-scoring games like we're used to having in Harvey (Lou Boudreau field)," he added. AFTER ROLLING past the Peppers I Friday night, the Raiders beat the Flashes 11-0 in the semi-finals before an 1 2 win in the game for "all the marbles." "We don't have any long ball hitters," conceded Arquilla of his club. "But we go to the plate and try to make the breaks. And once in a while we get the big inning." Big innings aided them in both victories New Trail head man Schultz back at NIU Len Motta, an assistant there the past four years, has been named head baseball coach at Bloom Trail, It was announced by Athletic Director Dan Candi-ano.

"It's going to be a different series In Milwaukee," Zolna said after his club had dropped decisions of 39-16, 10-5 and 19-16 over the weekend to go with a lone 23-22 win over the World Champion Schlitz team in Lou Boudreau field, Harvey.

"I feel that we actually have a better chance against them in Milwaukee because of their longer left field he continued. "THEY MAY get back a bit of that advantage with their shorter right field. But I think we can get them. In fact, if right field were longer in Milwaukee, I'd pick us to win it in five games," he said of the best four-out-of-seven series. The two teams will play in an o'clock single game tomorrow night with 7 p.m.

double-headers scheduled for Saturday and Sunday nights, plus Monday night if needed. Admittedly, statistics can lie. However, one wonders about Zolna's feelings about having a better chance this weekend in Milwaukee because of two statistics: 1. The shorter left field porch in Boudreau resulted in CNA outhomering the conquering Milwaukeeans 15-7 over the weekend.
