Efkhorn Valley
The West Side baseball nine,
under the fine direction of Jerry
Schmidt, compiled their 39th
straight victory in Little League
play last Friday night by squeez
ing past the Atkinson Little
Leaguers 3-1 in one of the finest
played games seen in this area
in a long while.
Ronnie Riley opened the West
Side's first inning with a long
triple off loser Frank Mancuso,
and he scored on a double by
Bruce Spitler. Mancuso stiffened
and retired the next three bat
ters in order. Then in he third
frame Atkinson scored on two
singles and a double to die the
game 1-1.
The score remained deadlocked
until the fifth inning when Ronnie
Riley again started the rally with
a single. Spitler followed with
another single and Russ Johnson
doubled to drive in what proved
to be the game winning tallies.
The fabulous streak of the West
Side began in the latter part of
the 1959 season, the last team
to beat the Schmidt crew was the
rival East Siders.
One of the leading factors in
the club’s success has been the
steady pitching of Bob Riley. The
Atkinson victory was the 28th win
of the young hurler’s career, he
has never suffered a Little
League defeat. Over the past
three seasons he has tossed two
no-hitters and three shut-outs.
Other players that remain on
the West Side team this year that
have played since the ’59 season
are Russ Johnson, Jim Booth,
with Terry Kurtz
Ronnie Riley, Steve Cronin, and
Bruce Spitler.
The next game for the unde
feated squad will be this Friday
night in O’Neill when they bat
tle the East O’Neill Little Leag
uers at the Cardinal Field.
West O’Neill was a half inning
away from their 40th successive
victory Monday night when rain
halted their game with Stuart.
The game was called in the top
of the fourth with O’Neill leading
94).
City League
In action last Wednesday night,
Dale French’s Cardinals came
from behind to defeat the Indians
8-5 in an extra-inning contest. Joe
Yantzi went the distance on the
mound for the winners as did
Danny Strong for the Indians.
The Indians led 5-2 going into
the the bottom half of the sixth
frame but the Cards collected two
hits and took advantage of two
errors to score three runs and
send the game into an extra inn
ing. Yantzi held the Indians score
less in the top of the seventh
and his teammates came on with
three more runs in their half of
the inning to pull the game out.
Casey Tomlinson belted a line
drive homer in the first inning to
open the scoring for the Cardi
nals.

Pony League
On July 5th the Elgin Pony
League defeated the Colts 11-4,
Elgin pitching held the losers to
two singles. The winners tagged
losing pitcher Ivan Hurley for
eleven hits, the loss was the first
of the season for the Colts.
Jerry Nickeson and Wayne
Sindelar were credited with the
losers’ only hits.
Kent Peterson blasted a 2-run
homer Sunday to lead the Bron
chos to a 11-5 victory over the
Page Pony League. Southpaw
Danny Wolfe was the winning
pitcher, John Crumly took the
loss for Page.
The Bronchos were scheduled
to play Atkinson here Wednesday
night, they’ll play at Orchard
next Wednesday.
T-Shirt League
In “T -Shirt League play last
Thursday night, The Tigers nip
ped the Yankees 5-3 in one of
the better games played in the
League this season. Craig Hes
son was the winning pitcher,
Mike Verzal took the loss in the
mound duel. Both pitchers dis
played excellent control as Hes
son allowed only two walks and
Verzal passed only one.
The winners trailed 1-0 in the
early innings, but a bases-load
ed triple by Marvin Bartos put
the Tigers in the lead.
The Giants played the Dod
gers and won 12-11 in a six-inn
ing contest last Thursday evening,
but the game was put under pro
test. The protest was upheld so
the game will be replayed at a
later date.
In the other game played
Thursday, the Senators downed
the White Sox 6-5 in a close con
test. Forwood was the success
ful hurler. Jed Wolfe took the
loss.
This week the White Sox will
host the Giants, the Senators will
play the Tigers and the Yankees
will take on Bill Artus’s Dodgers.
Report from
Washington
By Congressman Dave Martin
Fourth District, Nebraska
I’ve been thinking about my
annual questionnaire and the in
dications received of how Fourth
District Nebraskans feel about the
role of the big Federal Govern
ment in Washington. I talked with
many of them during my visit to
Nebraska over the Fourth of July
And I’m happy to see that most
of them feel the same way I do—
that the Federal government
should do for the people only
what they connot do for them
selves, or cannot do by local or
state government action.
• •
The answers also show me
something most Nebraskans al
ready know: that Nebraskans, es
pecially western Nebraskans, are
a practical people.
They know, for instance, that
a person must pay for everything
he gets, sooner or later. This is
true in public spending, just as
it is for the private individual.
• This fact apparently hasn’t been
revealed to the bureaucrats here.)
I wish we had a few more wes
tern Nebraskans running the Fed
eral government.
* *
Also, the questionnaire results
show that western Nebraskans
are independent and self-reliant.
In other words, they would pre
fer to help themselves and get
along without so much Big Bro
ther government, even if they
did not have to pay the bill in
taxes—which of course they do.
And fortunately, they know it.
• ' •
In short, Fourth District resi
dents are realistic and conserva
tive, as realists must be.
They’re not fooled by talk of
“humanitarian" programs which
pass on a burdensome debt to
their children and grandchildren
—(probably the cruelest heritage
that could be left to unborn gen
erations.
Nebraska’s conservatives aren’t
ready to be played for suckers
—by talk of the great “humani
tarian” spending programs which
win us, not friends abroad, but
the contempt of thinking people
throughout the world.
And most important of all,
they're not ready to fall for the
“humanitarian” trend toward
penalizing the successful, the
thrifty, the hard-working and the
responsible citizens, in order to
carry out such vast spending pro
grams.
Nebraskans have faith in the
capitalistic, free enterprise sys
tem. So do I.
A Poem
From Mrs. Eby ...
—The Bravest Battle—
The bravest battle that ever was
fought! Shall I tell you where
and when?
On the map of the world you will
find it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of
men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle
shot, with a sword or noble pen;
Nay not with eloquent words or
thought from mouths of won
derful men.
But deep in a wailed-up woman's
heart—of a woman that would
not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her
part—Lo, there is that battle
field.
No marshaling troops, no bivouac
song, no banner to gleam and
wave;
But Oh; These battles they last
so long, from babyhood to the
grave.
Yet faithful still as a bridge of
stars, She fights in her walled
up town,
Fights on and on in the endless
wars, then silent, unseen, goes
down.
Oh, ye with banners and battle
shot and soldiers to shout and
praise!
I tell you the kingliest victories
fought were fought in those si
lent ways.
Oh spotless woman in a world of
shame, with splendid and si
lent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you
came—The Kingliest warrior
born.
