14 North Westchester Times New Castle Tribune, Mount Kisco, N.Y., August 2, 1962 Minasi Leads Leaders With Two HR, 5 RBI The boomers were out in force .«at Rec Park last night, with all of the muscles rippling in the flannels of the White Plains Ro mas, who dished out disaster to Katonah in a Westchester Base- \ball Association arclighter. The league leaders sent 23 bat ters to the dish in the first two innings, cashed in 13 for a rapier like opening thrust, and won 16-7 in the curfew halted outing aft er seven-and-a-half rounds. The victory was the 13th in 15 games for White Plains. Yon- kers is second ir. the standings with a 12-3 ledger. Vreeland Wins Backed by an 11-hit attack which included three homers, three doubles and a pair of tri ples, righthander Ed Vreeland went the distance for his sev enth win in nine decisions. He was tapped for nine hits, but fanned 10 alon*, the way. Katonah used three pitchers, with reliever Finucane holding the Romas at bay after the early drumming. Chief bicep of the evening was catcher Bob Minasi who slugged a pair of homers to drive in five runs. His circuit jolts were back-to-back jobs in the first and second innings when base hits sizzled in all directions. Six runs scored in the first round when two walks opened the way. Art Schult's double de livered two runs, and a subse quent two-bagger by Mickey Pin to chased in two more. Minasi fired his first four-base salvo to dead center for the final deuce of the round. More Tallies It wa^ ~ seven-run cluster in the second inning for the win ners, with a flurry of walks and a hit batsman adding to the de luge. Minasi slugged a three-run homer to rightcenter for the big blow of the rally, with Mario Viniello adding a triple. From thereon, White Plains was fairly quiet until the bottom of the sixth when Joe Tomaselli hit another shot out of Rec Park, his second in two games. Angie Belmont opened the sixth with a single, then trotted home when Joe bombed a blast high and far over the fence in left- center, at about the 380-foot dis tance. Belmont, Minasi, Viniello (two triples) led the winners in the stickwork with two hits each. Smith and Strand had two hits each to pace the losers. The same two clubs will hook up in a twinbill Sunday at Ka tonah.

The camp gathers in these hundreds of children for three and a half hours of fun and frolic on these summer mornings. Everyone, from the youngest of the Mohawks to the oldest of the Onandaigas, gather at 9 a.m. for the flag-raising ceremon ies that start the day. Then it's off—some to the pool, others to the ballfields, a group to the pond, another to the tree-shaded trails. The day has begun. Bun By Joan Davis The camp, directed by Miss Joan Davis of the Mount Kisco Recreation Commission, is divid ed into five sections, each split into sub-groups of boys and girls. The sections are named after the tribes of the Iroquois nation; Mo hawk, the largest group, com posed of youngsters who are eith er 6 years old or have finished kindergarten; the Senecas; the Tuscaroras; the Cayugas, and the Onandaigas, the oldest camp ers who go up to the age of 12, Every day, there are swim ming and athletics for everyone. The miniature musclemen play varieties of baseball and sof tball have running games, face each other in Newcombe ball, and have a go at human croquet, in which youngsters form the wick ets and relays are run through them. There are hikes in the shadowy hills, swimming instruction each morning followed by a free period of water play, and spe cial events held each week by the individual groups. These events can be anything from scavenger hunts to fishing in the pond or marshmellow roasts. Out Door Sleeping In the large, color - splashed teepees, the older groups have sleep-outs on two summer nights Some of the campers, working with Counselor Hugh Grossman, have built a shelter in the wood ed hills for sleeping out doors. Hugh is also in charge of the nature museum, where the two take care of their pets, feeding them each morning. Besides the swimming and ath letics, Bob Bouchie, in the win ter an art teacher at Mount Kis co Elementary School, comes in each day to instruct the groups in arts and crafts. Each \tribe\ has some craft work a couple oi times a week; and results range from brightly-hued belts to plaster-of-paris figures and paper mache animals. Rainy Day Programs But what about those gray days when the children look out of their bedroom windows and cry, \It's raining.\ Well, the park is out, of course, but there is always the Boys' Club, with its well-equipped gymnasium. Mov ies are shown there and arts and crafts become more popular than ever. There are other programs, too. Young theatre enthusiasts have had their dramatic flairs partial ly satisfied with two trips to the Children's Theater at the Mount Kisco Playhouse. Group singing (what would a camp be without it?) is also a popular pastime. The well-staffed camp boasts 20 counsellors, college students or teen - agers entering college in September. In addition, there are 77 counsellors-in-training. These youngsters, aged from 12 to 16, help the older counsellors and have activities planned for them as well. This Saturday, they will be given a bus trip to an all-day outing at Jones Beach. There have already been trips to Rye Beach and the Yankee Stadium and a fourth trip will be held later this month. And how much of a dent does this eight-week camp make in the family bank account? Just about none. There is no cost for the camp; the only spending ne cessary is the price of a sea son's pass to the Mount Kisco pool. Of course, there are likely to be a few fringe expenditures for a lost shoe, a lost towel, a mis placed bathing suit. Miss Davis, however, says that since most of the youngsters are carrying their things in beach bags this year, the operations of the camp lost- and-found have been considerably lessened during this season which opened on June 27 and will close on Aug. 21. When 12:30 p.m. rolls around, the plashing in the pool, the slap of bats agains balls, the belt weaving, and the foot races stop, and youngsters, .mass ion the low ering of the flag. Another morn ing of fun in the sun has ended. TEEING OFF at Waccabuc Country Club is Roderick Brush of Darien, Conn.

Greeley Beats Millwood in Tight Contest MILLWOOD— The baseball teams of Camp Millwood and Camp Greeley, New Castle Recreation Commis sion summer day camps, met on July 19 for the first of their inter-camp games, at Camp Mill wood. Camp Millwood was defeated by Camp Greeley by a 5-3 score. The losers picked up all three runs on Carl Bowen's homer with two on in the third inning while Camp Greeley scored once in each of the last five frames. Max Hill pitched a strong game for the victorious visitors, striking out IS men until reliev ed by Doresch in the seventh. Bobby James and Jim Kendall shared the hurling chores for Millwood with James slugging a donkeys, a goat, and a calf are [ pair of doubles to help his own kept. The youngsters help Hugh I cause. KATONAH— Lefthander Jon Murray pitched a no-hitter for the White Plains Romas in the first game of a twinbill with the Katonah Indians here Sunday, halting the West chester Baseball Association tail- enders 15-1. The Romas won the nightcap 12-0 to complete a sweep which upped their league-leading mark to 15-2. The second game white wash was shared by bonus left hander John Thibdeau and right hander Ed Vreeland, with Vree land getting the victory. I He Walks 10 Murray, the pride of John Jay High and a former Giant farm hand, had little trouble in knock ing the host team off for his third win of the season without setback. The slingshot portsider was erratic, however, walking 10 I in the seven-inning outing as his high hop fastball sailed far too often. Sports Editor of the Mount Vernon Daily Argus, Murray fan ned six, well below his average. Murray also excelled with the Iwarclub, bashing three hits in ]five trips to drive in three runs All of his hits, and for that matter all 16 of the Roma hits, came off loser Mike Repp who [suffered through the entire con test without relief. In that first game, the Romas pounced on Repp for seven runs (in the first inning as Angie Belmont, Joe Tomaselli, Art Schult, Bob Minasi, Walt Piebes, [Mario Viniello and Murray all ( belted singles. The victors added two in the third, and clusters of I three in the fifth and seventh innings. Thibdeau K's 5 Murray, Viniello, and Minasi all had three singles to lead the Roma attack. There were no extra-base hits in the ball game. Thibdeau, who last week sign ed a bonus pact with he Boston [Red Sox in excess of $25,000, [worked the first two innings of the nightcap and knocked off the host team with five strikeouts. But, since he had pitched two days before, he retired after two rounds with Vreeland coming on. Ed completed the shutout, [whiffing four and allowing four scattered hits the rest of the | way. Tompkins, Melahn and Repp all worked for the losers. In this one, the Romas led 4-0 after four innings, then erupted jfor six tallies in the fifth to make it another rout. Two runs in the seventh wrapped up the scoring. Shortstop Danny DiPace led the way with three singles in four trips to drive in two runs. [Belmont, Tomaselli, Yvars and Thibdeau (who moved to right field) had two hits each, with the first mentioned pair driving in two runs each.

Mixologists in the H. M.

Amory * I*. Haskell, President of the « Monmouth Park Jockey Club Jj schedules an equally attractive * tomp for them in The Sorority j». Stakes. Both races are under futurity conditions,\which means that the eventual Starters had to he nominated months in advance and both shave an incentive guaranteed - to gross $100,000. Just in case, anyone with a 2-year-old of championship calibre failed to nominate him .at a fee of $25 la *i January, he can, by pay ment of $5,000, make his horse a supplementary nominee. This rather expensive \back door\ which closes five days prior to the race, was used to good advantage last year by Meadow Stable's Sir Gaylord.

That last rain really sparked a lot of fish activity throughout the area. The boys are reporting good sized bass and a fair number of them also. To date we do not have any larger entries for the month of July, but the boys have continued to weigh in a number of fish in the 3 and 4 pound class. Ralph Tarchine of Mount Kisco had a nice 4 lb. 9 oz. largemouth on Monday that was well worth showing in any league. Sorry it can't be a prize-winner. Ralph, as Jimmy Booth of North Tarry- own is still high for July with his 5 lb. 4 oz. model. By the time you read, this that fish will be past history, howev er. Wednesday a.m. or Aug. 1 will start an entirely new eon- test so keep weighing them in, fellows. We have been doing a lot of talking about bass, but we should not forget the perch. Lots of ac tion here, fellows, and those big Whites have finally decided to start biting up at Cross River. Amawalk has also been doing much better. Our old friend and neighbor Byram Lake is also having its moments on Perch, Bass and a few nice Pickerel. Remember, you need a special permit from the Village of Mount Kisco to- fish this lake. :, The salt water boys are hav ing their innings also. It's been spotty in local waters, but if you get out there on the right day you could have had a fine catch of blues. They are around but not in all places as yet. Porgies and Blacks were being shown also and of course the Striper fishermen are out there really working at it. Here again if you are there at the right time results can be all the way from fabulously good to awful. Our partner Walt Jacob is at the moment fishing one of the more famous areas along the Rhode Island coast. Stripers — Stripers and more and bigger Stripers are on his list. As we go to press it was too early to get a report from him, but we will give you his impres sions as soon as he returns. The New Jersey shore is also reporting excellent action on Blues and Stripers in the surf with lots of crabs and blowfish in the bays. A lot of fun and some fabu lous meals, boys, so don't miss it. Get out there now. Mrs. Fredericks Wins at Briar Hall CHAPPAQUA— Mrs. Charles Fredericks of Sky- wood Drive and Mrs. Irving Smith of Scarsdale, the low- gross qualifiers, went on to win the annual Class A best - ball Tournament at Briar Hall Coun try Club, Briarcliff Manor, play- ig the last round last Wednes day against Pety Goldstein and Telene Morris.
