Templemeyer Faced
with Green Squad
The St. Mary’s academy Card
inals are grinding out their third
week of six-man grid rehearsals
with emphasis during the past
veek on the two-platoon system.
Coach Don Templemeyer has
24 candidates reporting for duty,
most of them inexperienced,
young and green. Consequently,
he feels the two-platoon idea will
enable the maximum number to
gain experience. Templemeyer
doesn’t expect to set the world on
fire, what with so few trained
hands, so he has begun a strate
gic rebuilding job.
Terry Wanser, veteran back
fielder, has been elected captain
for the season.
The Cardinals open the season
Friday night at North Loup.

League Playoff Title
At Stake in Final
Game Sunday Night
The Orchard and Atkinson en

braska day-and-night baseball
league are tied up — one game
apiece—in the final playoff for
the league crown.
Orchard gained the finals by
licking Chambers and Atkinson
moved to the finals by besting
O’Neill. Each won a best two-out
of-three series. (See story be

In Sunday night’s initial en

duel with Van Vleck, Orchard
hurler, limiting the Atkinson
Towmers to three hits. Rollie Ev
eretts chucked for Atkinson. Or
chard won it. 3-1.
Orchard scored twice early in
the game and chased across the
tnird tally late in the battle. At
kinson’s only score resulted in
the sixth when Bill Miller tripled
and Bob Berigan slammed out a
sacrifice fly to leftfield.
The second game was played
Tuesday night under the lights
in the Legion park at Atkinson.
The Towners managed to even
the series with a 6-2 win over
Orchard.
Orchard picked up a one-run
lead in the first inning and the
count remained 1-0 until the
sixth. Atkinson pushed across
two runs in that frame and spurt
ed again in the seventh with four
runs.
Orchard got another tally in
the seventh.
Sonny Retzlaff went the route
on the mound for Atkinson. Or
chard was credited with nine
hits; Atkinson, eight.
The third—and final—game of
the series will be played Sunday
night, September 12. at Orchard.
It will be curtains for the season
Atkinson finished at the top of
the North-Central heap during
the regular playing season.

North-Central Nebraska league
playoff series with the O’Neill
Rockets, 4-2. Atkinson earlier

kinson, and Thursday’s perform
