West All-Stars Lash East
Big Eighth Inning Spells
Defeat to Tomlinson’s
Crew, 9-3
Thursday night at Carney
park here, the West all-star, in
an eighth inning rally, cracked
out four hits and chased in sev
en runs to shatter the East's de
fenses in the North-Central day
and night league St. Anthony’s
building fund benefit all-star
game before an estimated crowd
of 1,750 fans.
The West handcuffed the East
all-stars, 9-3, as each team lim
ited pitchers to three innings.
Dick Tomlinson, of O'Neill,
managed the East all-stars
that were picked from Cham
bers, Page, O'Neill and Ew
ing. Tutor for the West club
was August Troshynski, of
Atkinson, who had Stuart. At
kinson, Valentine and Ains
worth.
Igniting the eighth inning ral
ly. Beebout, of Ainsworth, crack
ed a hard drive to third base
man, Boelter, who bungled the
pick up Richardson, also of
Ainsworth, got on base by virtue
of being hit by a pitched ball.
Then “Doc” Mancuso, of Atkin
son, who pinch hitted for Scott,
walked to load the bases.
Schmidt, of Valentine, singled
to left, scoring Beebout and
Richardson. Young and Clark,
successively, got one base hits
to centerfield that sent Mancuso
and Schmidt in to score. Another
single to centerfield by Spear
man, of Ainsworth, scored Young
and pushed Clark on to third.
As Graham, of O’Neill, the East
pitcher, was working on Hahn,
of Valentine, Catcher Tomjack,
of O’Neill, attempted to pick
Spearman off first base. As the
throw went down to first Clark
came racing home to tally. Both
men were safe.
To round out the run-rid
dled last half of the eighth,
Hahn struckout, Beebout sing
led to left field, scoring Spear
man, and Richardson flied out
to shortstop.
Graham allowed four hits as
the East all-stars were charged
with two of five errors in the fa
tal eighth.
The East’s scoring was limited
to one run each in the second,
fifth and ninth frames.
In the second bracket, Wolfe,
of O’Neill, tripled to centerfield
with his high fly going over the
centerfielder’s head. Cunning
ham got a dribbler to the mound
:
and was out at first, Tomjack
I clouted a fast ball down to the
third sacker, who tossed him
lout. Schmidt singled to right
! field to score Wolfe.
Billy Meserve, of O’Neill,
walked; Trowbridge singled to
rightfield and went down to sec
ond on the rightfielder’s error.
This sent Meserve sliding into
home plate, as the toss from the
field was out of line.
The ninth inning score came
when Smith walked and then
went around to third as Kenny
Heiss, of Page, drove to the
mound a hard ball that was de
flected off the pitcher’s glove
and bounded into centerfield.
Smith came home as the
catcher overthrew third in an
attempt to catch him off base.
As an added feature of the
benefit game, Wallace O'
Connell, of O'Neill, auctioned
nine autographed baseballs to
the fans.
Six of the balls came from
Johnny Hopp, of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, one from the St. Louis
Browns, and two were promis
ed from Richie Ashburn, of the
Philadelphia Phillies.
Also put on the auction block
were four watermelons.

the benefit game, Matthew Be
