THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1975 LONG ISLAND TRAVELER-WATCHMAN PAGE NINETEEN Sporting Whirl Bayport Cops Six Title BY BOB BURNS Congratulations to Waverly Alklns, Rivcrhead’s jet-propelled sprinter who won both the 100 and 220 yard dashes to account for all the Blue Wave points scored in the Suffolk County Track Meet last weekend. The whole County Seat area wishes “ S k ecter\ well when he attempts to annex the State titles in those events as w e l l , , , , , And it might be well to point out here too that Riverhead will also have other representation at the State level in track when the girls gather for their meet at West Point on June 7th. Coach Virginia Herrold's RHS squad finished sixth with 15 points when the gals held their County Meet at Bay Shore later last week and two of the Blue Wave ferns qualified for the trip by placing among the top in their events . . . Virginia Pritchard won for the Waves the 100 yard dash turning in a sharp 0:12.0 clocking while Charlene Johnson finished in the runner-up slot in the long jump. Making their feats even more newsworthy was the fact Virginea is only a sophomore while Charlene is but a freshman .... In the County. Riverhead had another soph Donna Harris placed 6 th in the 220 while senior Emily Stewart finished 6 th in the discus throw. The Riverhead 440 yard relay team composed of Pam Smith. Donna Harris, Charlene Johnson and Virginia Pritchard came home third in that event which incidentally was captured by a quartet from Southampton which posted a new county record in the process .... Riverhead Varsity Club Recently elected its officers for the year starting in September. Ray Timmann will be the president, Fran Davis the vicc-president, Tom Smith the treasurer and Joe Sodal settles into the secretary’s chair (re-inforced of course) ............ Fred Kart Top Marksman Fred Kart won still further acclaim for his marksmanship with the pistol recently when he established a new national civilian record for 45 caliber pistol. Kart, who already was the New York State champion with the air pistol and free pistol, was competing in a meet at Poughkeepsie when set the new mark hitting 298 out of 300 and then getting 16 X’s in what amounts to a tiebreaker. The old standard had been 298 with 12 X ’s. When this news filtered across the nation Fred was very quickly the recipient of a phone call from the committee issuing the coveted invitations to marksman to the final try-outs for the United States Olyimpic pistol team. Kart had already won attention back in March of this year when he was member of a group setting a new team record in 22 rapid fire pistol and his versatility no doubt helped attract the attention to earn him invitation which needed to say he was happy to accept. Thus the County Seater will be competing June 8 through June 20 out at Black Canyon Range in Phoenix, Arizona and we all hope he does well. Freddie incidentally has patented a new pistol design he has been using in these events which is supposed to promote accuracy and Fred's shooting makes him his own best salesman for his pistol has attracted much interest. He is presently tooling up to put it in production for target shooters and, despite the fact to date only advertising has been by word of mouth, he has gotten orders from all over the United States and Canada and beyond. Sign Up for Pop Warner Registration for Pop Warner football will take place at Stotsky Park the next two Saturdays, June 7 and June 14, from 9 am to 12 noon. All boys, whether they have played before or not must register and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when so d o i n g ................ When the Wildwood Thursday B, League held its awards banquet at the Birchwood recently the hit of the show had to be Billy and Kid Spanburgh whose all white ensemble, complete with white fedora ( a la El Exceltante, the \Demanding One” from the coffee fields of Columbia) made him stand out from the crowd. And when he took to the dance floor his gyrations had to be seen to be believed. Hollywood is missing a good bet-what showmanship- what energy-what wild abandon. Come to think of it he captures a lot of attention on the softball diamonds too and for the same traits .... Little League baseball in the County Seat this summer seems to be destined to have a lot of lopsided scores as a few teams are very strong and a few others very weak - not a happy situation . . . .Much as we’d like to see George McGinnis in a Knick uniform we think the New York club is dead wrong in signing him under the circumstances they did. It is against league principles and how come the Knicks (read that Mike Burke) can be so arrogant as to believe they can bend the rules to suit themselves. No wonder people all across the nation root wholeheartedly against the New York ‘‘big city slickers” . . .Deer Park’s Bob McCurdy, who led the nation's collegians in scoring while playing for Richmond University had a big come-down when he wasn’t picked until the 8 th round of the basketball draft. He went finally to the Milwaukee Bucks but will have a rough row to hoe as very few 8 th round choices last long past rookie camp ................. Mosquitoes Bite At Stotsky You have to be a real fan lo visit Stotsky Park these spring evenings, the mosquitoes are out in force and they sure bite fiercely. Wonder if and when they’ll get sprayed. The ecologists sometimes carry things too far, they talked to authorities out of spraying the woods and now no one can venture ten feet into the bush without coming out covered with ticks ................W e’ve written some glowing words about Riverhead’s fine all round athlete Lonnie Hughes the past few years but sometimes we wonder if people in the area really appreciate his accomplishments. Not too many boys in this day and age are good to be worthy of All Suffolk County honors in two major sports, a feat Lonnie accomplished this year. In fact Lon was All Long Island in football and when you think of all the schools in the County and on the Island now you have the marvel at his accomplishment.............A week or so back we listed a few teams we considered having shots at the Modified Pitch flag. Without mentioning names we caught a few innings of a game one of those teams played early this week and we can eliminate them as serious contenders. They didn’t even leave home plate when they lifted routine flies, didn’t run out grounders very much harder and actually strolled getting to their fielding positions. Such lack of hustle is the mark of a loser in the long run. . . . See that softball has begun its seasons in both Mattituck and Greenport. We’d like to make arrangements to give those loops proper coverage. If a secretary or a scorer could get copies of the boxscores to us we’d be glad to do the stories. In Riverhead the official scoreboards have carbon and we get a copy of each game which helps immensely. Also complete rosters of the teams would be appreciated.............Mail should be sent to us at R.D. #2, Box 880T, Edgar Avenue, Riverhead, NY 11901 or phone 722-3627 to discuss arrangements. . . . Bayport chugged past Longwood in the final week of the season to win the League Six pennant. To have that happen Longwood had to lose all three games to William Floyd ( which they proceeded to do) and the Phantoms had to win all three of theirs which didn’t figure to be too tough as they were pitted against last place Bellport. But the Clipper pitchers did not allow Bayport too many runs on the week, exactly five for the 21 innings played. That put the burden on the Bayport hurlers an^ their trio responded beautifully to pitch three straight shutouts, the scores reading 3-0, 1 -0 and 1 -0. Bellport in fact had just six hits for the three tilts - that’s pitching - and under pressure too............ Diamond interest centers this week on Coach Tom Murray’s Mercy High nine which has reached the finals of the Nassau-Suffolk Catholic League playoffs. They have a tough foe but the Monarchs have a top-notch pitcher in Joe DeCarle. The games were booked for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday meaning Murray will be hoping DeCarle wins the first game and then it rains one of the other dates pushing the third game, if one is necessary, back far enough for him to come back with his ace again ....................

Honrs doily hy opiKtiulnwnt ___________T e le p h o n e 7 6 5 - 3 0 9 2 ___________ g _ Bayport emerged the champion of League Six last week when the pennant was finally decided on the final day of the season. Longwood, the team which had been leading the pack by two games heading into that climactic week, was dumped three games in a row by William Floyd by scores of 1-0, 11 -2 and 8-3 which gave those two squads identical 15-6 records on the loop campaign. Bayport meanwhile had the good fortune of ending its schedule with three games against the circu i t ’s cellar-dw e llers from Bellport. And while the Phantoms did not knock down any fences and score much themselves they were blessed by well-nigh perfect pitch ing which did not allow a run during the entire 21 innings played on the week. Bayport clipped the Clippers by counts of 3-0, 1-0 and 1-0 and took the crown with a 16-5 m a rk. W h a t ’s m o re, Longwood m issed out of getting into the County playoffs for their second place deadlock with William Floyd went the C o lonials’ way when deciding the playoff entry inasmuch as Floyd had bested the Lions in their head-on series. In other action Riverhead insured a fourth place finish by taking two of three from Southampton to finish at 12-9 while Westhampton drubbed East Hamp ton three games in a row to grab off fifth position with a 9-12 mark. Guy Kirouac blanked Bellport 3-0 in the first outing of the week for the new champs, striking out seven men along the way and turning in a slick three hitter. Bayport only got three hits them s e lves but the bingles by Tom Fraczak and Jamie McDowell each drove across runs. It was 1-0 from the first inning on till the Phantoms locked it up with an insurance pair of markers in the sixth. In the second game of the set Kevin Zorn let Bellport down on just one hit, a third inning single by Mike Hines in gaining the 1-0 decision. Bayport won it with a run that crossed in the third on hits by Chuck Zahradka and Bob Monzillo plus an error. And then it was Chuck Zahradka pitching the third triumph for Bayport. this time a slick two hit shutout with the only run in the tilt not crossing till the 7th when Jamie McDowell’s two out single plated Bob Stitt with the run that turned out to be the one that nailed down the championship. All told then the three Bayport hurlers yielded just six hits over the three game span. Longwood must have known they were in trouble when their mound ace, Mike Bobinski, was paired against Floyd star, Keith Scanlon and the Lions dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker. Bobinski allowed only four hits but Scanlon was even sharper giving up just one lone safety to the Lions and that a bad-hop single to Bud McGrune with two outs in the 5th. Scanlon fanned 10 Longwood batters and contributed a single and a double to the winning cause, the lone run crossing in the last of the 4th. In gam e two William Floyd jumped off to an early lead and boosted it to safe 8-0 proportions when the Colonials scored five times in the 4th frame. It ended up 11-2 with Ed Balzer allowing the Lions but four hits in gaining the victory. Frank Angeletti’s three run homer in the 1 st and the same lad’s two run single in the 3rd gave him five ribbies on the day and Mitch Lemaire sent three runners across when he doubled with the bags loaded in the sixth frame. Angeletti had another homer the next day, and Keith Scanlon re turned to the hill as the Colonials did the job on Longwood by an 8-3 score. Scanlon allowed just four hits and knocked across a pair of runs himself. Riverhead had Don Troyan hurl a nifty four hit shutout as the Blue Waves opened their three game set with Southampton with a 6-0 vic tory. The County Seaters piled four of their game total of five hits into the first inning when they scored four runs with the big blow being Don Troyan’s two bagger. In game two the Mariners gained revenge and pulled out a 2-1 decision, all the runs in the tilt scored in the fourth inning with Jim Green knocking across Southampton’s pair with a single. Micky McNamara allowed the Blue Waves but three hits in hurling the victory, Mike Fedun had the misfortune to lose the decision while yielding only four safeties. In the rubber game of the set Riverhead eked out an 8-7 triumph when Lefty Don Troyan came on in relief of starter Frank Scordo and protected the one run victory mar gin with three scoreless innings of relief. Oddly enough the two teams scored their runs in the sam e frames. Southampton got two runs in the top of the 1 st and Riverhead answered back with three in the home half. Both schools then scored three times in the third inning and added a pair of markers in the 4th so that Riverhead had to come from behind three sep a r a t e occasions before going ahead for good thanks to T r o y a n ’s mound work. Jim Sylvester homered for the losers against Scordo early. W e s tham p ton crunched East Hampton by counts of 5-0, 8-4 and 11-0 as the Bonackers were almost helpless against Hurricane pitchers Vinnie DeGeorgio and Ed Tufano. .Vinnie hurled victories num b e rs one and three spinning a six hit shutout .wnd then allowing just one hit in his second whitewash job of the week- Tufano h,e.ld a 4-0 lead before he let East Hampton get on the scoreboard with the Bonackers winding up with just six hits all told. Tufano fanned 13 men in his seven innings on the slab and had Andy Toy knock across three runs to spark the Hurricane attack. John Gale’s double and triple was East Hampton’s bright spot of the week.

Maria Regina’s strength lay in the sprint and that school placed first in the 50 yard dash, the 100 yard dash and the 220 yard event but the Monarch gals took all the other firsts and practically nullified Re gina’s strength by grabbing sec onds and thirds in the sprints. It was the Mercy team ’s fifth victory in as many outings and for the fifth time too the Monarchs swept the half mile run with their trio of Rosemary Junk in first, Althea Cooke and Kathy Maloney all finishing the 880 yards within two seconds of each other in a fine display of balance. The victors also swept the first three places in two other events during the afternoon. In the 440 their Chris Kelley hit the tape in 1:09.7 and sisters Mary Bogg and Ann Bogg were the next pair home.

Another one. two finish for the locals occurred in the 50 yard hurdles where Mary Hogg (:08.2) defeated Terry Brown. With Chris Kelley running a strong anchor leg the Monarch relay quartet, which also included Mary Hogg, Jane Hartmann and Terry Brown, tri umphed handily with a clocking of 2 : 10 . In the 50 yard dash Mercy had to be content with Maura Sullivan’s 2nd place finish and Mary Lou Wilshaw’s third. Jane Hartmann gave the Monarchs seconds in both the 100 and 220 yard dashes with Anne O ’Connell and Theresa Lech adding thirds to the Mercy point total respectively. The Pump House met the Kart Mudchickens head-on last week in a battle of unbeaten squads that many figured would be a close battle. But instead the defending champions from the Pump House rolled to a 15-0 lead after three innings of play and went on to humble the Mudchickens by a final 22-4 score to rule supreme atop the Riverhead Slow Pitch standings with a 3-0 record and with no one ahead on the schedule figured to give them a real test. They touched up Jerry Forbes for 18 hits on this occasion, the assault containing two home runs by Willie Patterson and one by Walt Miles, and Forbes also doled out seven walks to keep the merry-go-round spinning. Hero of the occasion was probably pitcher Spider Ligon who limited the pow erful Kart lineup to but seven hits, a real accomplishment on the Slow Pitch front. In another game played late in the week the Wading River Fire Department handed the River head Moose Lodge its first defeat in three starts by a 15-12 score. Patterson whacked his first hom er of the game, and fourth of the season, with two outs in the first inning and Walt Miles, swinging next, followed suit for a quick 2-0 lead. In the second frame the Pump House parlayed four singles, a walk, an error and a sacrifice fly into a five run uprising and they lowered the boom on Forbes in the 3rd to tally eight times despite the fact they had only a triple by Charlie Johnson and a single by Will Johnson to show for their own plate efforts. Jerry issued six walks in that frame and his mates gave him real shoddy support afield. Meanwhile Ligon had given Kart’s only a single by John Kulesa over the first three innings but in the 4th Charlie Penny homered behind a single by Pete Vanderwater to break the shutout bid and later in the frame John Kulesa also rode a BUS. 765-9803 pitch out of the park with Forbes, who had singled, on base. After that brief burst however the Mud chickens went back to sleep and Ligon tacked on three more shutout frames. The Pump House added seven runs in the final two innings to complete the rout, Ligon helping his own cause with a two run two base hit. On the night Willie Johnson had a double and three singles in five trips while Bob Quinn went a perfect 3 for 3 and picked up three RBI’s. Patterson, Walt Miles, Charlie Johnson and Spider Ligon all collected two hits apiece of varying lengths and even (Continued on Page 21) RES 765-2620 Pace Auto Shop Rt. 2 5 , Peconic, L. I., N . Y .
