Lewin, 22, the Old Oaks club champion la 1178, Untied three of the first lour holes at Hampshire DC to take the medaL Next best of the 20qualifiers was Clement Miner, of Tamarack, who fln-' ished at 71. The tournament proper is scheduled 1 for Aug. 2-5 at Mountain Ridge in West NJ. Keeping the bail in the lairway was Lewins' strategy on Hampshires par 35-35-70, 627-yard layout.

He also putted well and. wu especiall; proud of a 25-footer on nine for a birdie that Urn 4-undcr at the turn. He hit a 3-wood Into the wind on that hole and the bread held the baU up! It dropped on the edge on the green and Lewin ran it in. That birdie signified to him the opportunity to relax the rest of the way. After nine holes I didnt feel any pressure, said Lewin.

I knew I would qualify nut I wanted to break 70. Id never broken 71 before in competition. He heeded a par on the final hole for but added Us fifth birdie (against Just two bogies) to finish with the best score of his career. He set up a -inch putt for the Urdie with a t-iron. If practice makes perfect, Lewin could be really dangerous by the weeks end.

From afar, the only give-away to King's true iden- it is the streaming, shoulder length blond hair that tumbles from underneath her blue-billed Pacoy baseball cap.

One woman ur-. gently assured her that Alyson could hit as-will as an-; i yoneort the Unfortunately, (he woman wasn hacked upat the plate, because Alyson wore the collar for the evening. It is commonly agreed even among her teammates, however, that.

Alyson handles herself much better afield than at who ever heard of a slug-- giiig shortstop anyway. She did perform credibly, against Lud-' Dale, drawing two walks. And her daring base-running. including a perfectly executed hook-slide, on a- -steal of third, resulted in two runs for the Pacoy club. She is genuinely enthused about her upcoming World.

Series date, Friday night (8 p.m.) at Coyne. Park against Hillcrest's Luna Electric. As Alyson said: "We didn't make it. last year, we got knocked off in the semi-finals. Perhaps, now, if shy has a good series, Alison can parlay her performance into a small fortune.

The Pacoy Kiwanis club's starting shortstop has become quite a popular item around area infields, though the followings of such media darlings as -Bucky Dent sad Chico Rscuala have yet to be con- retted.

Monday night, at Coyne Part, the right fielder-turned-. -shortstop became-just the second girl in a years of organized Little League in Yonkers to partake in city- wide playoff competition.

Her team won, of as the Pacoy1 rallied from behind to knock, off the defending champion LudDale Mutual Aid Association of the Fire Department Natch, it was Alyson who scored her team's first run, after drawing her first of two walks, advancing oh a passed ball and starling third. Upon considering is sport she would like to participate in, the 12-year-old female pheepom received quite a bitof backing from the rest of the King fami- ly. She is the only girl atqong five brothers, two of whdm played before her in the Little League World Series.
