WHITE FALCON
Saturday, July 10, 1965
WHERE’S THE STRIKE ZONE?—Pint-size little leaguer, Doug Soper,
of the Tigers makes a difficult strike zone to pitch at. Awaiting
the pitch are Brave’s Catcher Harvey Royalty and Umpire H. R. Long.
The game took place last Friday as the Tigers edged the Braves 9-8.

Little Leaguers Play
Improving Laeli Week
by D. J. McNamara
With walks, errors and lack of a long ball from Heller,
the Dodger’s just keep on rolling. With their seventh win
in as many starts, nothing seems to slow them down. Long
looked good pitching but not as sharp as in previous starts,
as the Dodger’s beat the Yankees in a close one 10 to 7.
Long needed help from. W. Grover. Willie has the rare
combination of poise, confidence
and good form. I can’t say enough
about his natural talent.
The Yankees have been playing
some close and fine games. Except
for the first place team the league
seems to be well balanced which
makes for a more interesting
game. Naturally a little too much
tension when they all try to stop
or slow down the Dodger’s.
Tuesday and Wednesday the
schedule was slowed down by some
cold and rainy weather. Thursday
things picked up with the Yankees
beating the Braves 16 to 10. This
game was marred by errors. T.
Jones was the winning pitcher
with D. Conley and Buchanan
sharing the loss. H. Royalty con-
tinues to look good as he contri-
buted three hits to the losing cause.
Friday night the Tiger’s picked
up their winning ways with a hard
fought victory over the Braves.
D. Haveland contributed the winn-
ing hit in the 9 to 8 victory.
R. Hoffman looked real good
after the first shaky inning. He
struck out 12 while allowing only
7 hits. Royalty, a fine aggressive
ballplayer, came through with four
hits. The Tiger’s had 10 hits and
J. Soper looked real sharp with
some fine fielding plays. Jeff and
Greer were all over the field to
help spark the Tiger’s. Of course
it takes nine players to make a
ball team.
Finally it happened, the Dod-
ger’s came out on the short end
of a four to two loss to the tiger’s.
It was a hard fought, well played
game by both teams.
M. Babneau pitched a fine game
allowing only two hits and striking
out 15. On the other side of the
ledger, W. Groover looked good in
pitching five innings. He allowed
four hits and struck out 14. Two
fine pitching performances.
Some of the younger boys are
coming through real well. J. Soper
and Greer continue to look real
sharp.
Strikes ’n Spares
by Paul Jordan
Around and around the first place teams go. From the
way things look now, the top positions in each league can
still change hands more times than a politician’s hand at
a convention.
Supply 2 regained the first place slot of the American
League and a tie with AMD 1 after a four point win over
their opponents. Rockville 1 gained the third place position.
BarLant bowled by their op-1^
ponents to maintain the lead for
the National League. Only one
point out we are watching the Air
Force teams of AFI 1 and 57th
FIS 1.
In the International League, for
the second week, we find VlP-56
and Admin 2, still tied for the
league honors. Don’t count Secur-
ity out of this race either.
Huey And McConnell
Records were broken this week
and two names added to the Arc-
tic Bowl “250” Honor Roll. Huey,
Rockville 1, American League, tos-
sed the highest game on record
for the Arctic Bowl with an out-
standing 278. Huey also takes over
as the Intramural High Game
leader from Loomis who held this
honor since the first night of lea-
gue play with his 257.

Hale Pitches Two-Hitter But
NavCommSta Still Beats 57th
by L.B. Weatherford
The lone undefeated team in either of the Softball Lea-
gues, the 57th FIS, was unceremoniously upset by a deter-
mined NavCommSta Team, 6 to 2.
Despite the usually excellent game pitched by league-
leader Hale, in this case a two-hitter, NavCommSta capi-
talized on their own good pitching and defense coupled
with occasional fielding lapses by"
the Black Knights to break the
stranglehold the 57th had on the
American League.
Rockville and Security Group
are deadlocked for the National
League lead at 7 and 1 each. Bar-
Lant and Operations are in full
pursuit, each being one game be-
hind the leaders.
Although beaten, the 57th con-
tinues to set the pace in the
American League, also with a 7
and 1 record. NavCommSta,
MarBks, and AFI have closed the
gap in a three-pay tie for second
place, each one game behind.
Individual statistics compiled,
as of July 5, indicate that Pope
of Rockville leads both leagues in
batting with a .588 percentage.
Three pitchers are tied for the
lead with a 5-1 record; Hale, 57th,
Sivert, Ops, and Perez, Rockville.
Home run and RBI leader is
Zimmerman, Rockville, with 2
round-trippers and 19 runs bat-
ted in.
National League, in addition to
achieving the Honor Roll with his
fine 252 also recorded high series
for the week a count of 612. Other
600 series were blasted by Hoff-
man, PW1 with 203/226-604 and
Hiatt, NCS 1, at 236-600. A fine
week of bowling!
Scores around the league found
the American League keglers
counting pin falls by Money, Ad-
min 1, 562. Other scores were
Torbeck, Supply 2, a 203-547
with Schriefer at 220-569 and
Keener, AFI 3, at 213-541. Boll
and Paczekaj, AMD 1, lead their
team with scores of 228-549 and
