Mr. Neiley Wilson is enronte to South Bend, Indiana, to accompany his mother back here for a short. visit. . Post 63, which captured the Muny crown in 1948. is a stronger club than last year, while Galantis will take the with the same team that. won 20 games and lost only four in the ’48 circuit. The additions of second baseman Ed. Spychala and pitcher Connie Duda to the Post lineup have strengthened the Legionnaires con—- siderably. To be seen in Galanti uniforms are such softball stal—- warts as pitcher Tony Monaco, in- Vince Bracci and Andy Hig- gins and last season’s all-star left Lou Fistola.

The Phillips and Club Awanna nines are expected to be the power- house out in “AA\ competition. Their games at Franklin will be witnessed by the many follow- ers of these long--established clubs. The Phillips, who reportedly have secured the services of Lackawan- na’s foremost pitcher, Ziggy Pa- tronik are laden with power hit- ters. Among them are Norb Kul- pinski, Johnny Batorski, Archy Ordecha and manager John Steffan. Club Awanna has incorporated into its fold several members of the disbanded Bills Tavern and Rec. Club teams. The material Awanna had last season was suf- licient to carry the club into the playoffs and with its new additions the teams will be well represented and highly regarded.
