Jr. Baseball on Rise Town Rec. Committee Doings: By Win Olms SET JUNIOR DIAMOND PROGRAM — Perhaps the most encourag ing sign towa rd an increase in baseball enthusiasm here in the Town of ' Brookhaven is the rapid rise of interest being; dis- played ;imnu»- the youngsters who just a year or two ago were piaving in a Midget or Little League activity . We don 't have to look hack more than a few years to the day where interest reigned supreme iinnnsr the ranks of the pre-teeners whereas in sharp contra -t it dfvline d into almost utter oblivion once the bov moved into Ivs teenage- yi ar^ . This was primarily due to the fact that the organizations ' spnirr- oriiig the baseball activity devoted the major portion of concentration toward the younger set with little or no time left for thos\ whose davs of plav on the abbreviated diamond were l,eing closed out with the passing of another year. Fortun-i atel y. organizations like the Babe Ruth League and the North Patvho g u e Youth Association were able to absorb many of the Little i. eagne graduate* and thereby give the youngsters the op- portunit y to pursue their baseball ambitions. The Brookhaven Town Recreation Dep artment has. in the past , always endeavored to stimu l ate activit y in the 1. '? through 15 age category with leagues evicting in all sections of the township. However, despite these efforts the opportunities for the midget performer s always exceeded these which existed for the older boys. This , of course , was due to the I ' a't that parent interest and supervision were not available in as great a number as compared to that for the little fellows. We are happy to say. however, that such is po longer the case. I.a^t Summer, the influx in interest in the junior ranks began to climb and continues to ascend as teams now are in the process of preparin g for the V>1 schedule. Here on the south shore and Mid- Inland areas . 11 teams have thrown their collective hats into the ring. While on the North side another eight stand ready to go at it in pur suit of the North Shore crown. The teams in this secto r come from township communities from as far east as East Moriches and a^ far west as Blue Point with Gordon Heights and Middle Island al^o enga ged in the southside competition. All in all , some 400 boys are expected to take part in the township j unior program this sea- son a\ encouraging '^ m indeed that baseball among the boys in earl y teen years is climoing at a rapid rate. HALLOCK PARK NEAR COMPLETION — Town Recreation Commissioner Jerry Sadofsky. who delivered the town recreation report over our two local radio stations Saturday, spoke optimistic- all y in regard to plans for town rec reation in the months to follow and of the entire program i TI general. One of the maj or items which will enhance the overall effectiveness of the progra m is the new Ilall vk Park site situated just north of Barton Avenue in North Patchogue. Tho park, which is to be equipped with a ball diamond , bi--'- ton basketball court , picnic area and a playground for the kiddies , is expected to swing into high gear on or about June 15. We are vdl aware that the six teams who are to participate in the slo-ball league in that area are anxious and itching to dig their spikes into park site sod and for this reason we are happy to sav that the season is expected to commence in just another week or two . In addition to the slo-ball activity, the Hallock Park outdoor basketball court will be utilized to conduct the Summer outdoor baksotbal! program along with the courts situated at North Bellport , Mastic Beach and Centereach. ^ ; ' * ¦ ' : A SLO-BALL SIDELIGHTS — The ball being used in our town- shi p 1( agues this season is making everyone happv with the excep- tion of those who have the chore of serving it up. In the North Bellport League in games played to date there has been an overage output of 35 runs per ball game. In tho Northern _ Brookhaven L-oague . where the hitters are less potent .or the pitchers more etl' tctho (dcpnding on your view point) there have been 24 runs per uame registered. Although home run hitters in the North Bellport League are well scattered among all eight clubs it would be our guess that the race for top production in this department will develop into a two way run between Sal Foderico of Neppell' s and Stan Cox of the Asphalt Each man has throe to date. Rest defensive p lav of the young season turned in last week b y Mel Santa Maria of Neppell' s who robbed Johnnie Bonk of Dan ' s Cruise Inn of a sure triple and possible home run with a one handed, linger tip grab in deep center. Although Ron & Bill' s rest atop the loop along with Hagerman FD , Asphalt and Neppell' s they 1 have not . in our opinion , come up with the type of ball game of whkh they are capable. Their victory over the Rockets was of the g ift variety thanks to miscues in the held while thev narrowly sum ey. i d bv the Brookhaven VFW, 18-16. Ron Wadsworth has two of the finest all-around performers in the league in Ray Curiale and Bt 1» Staab who patrol the left and shortfield posts. The Brookhaven A sphalt established a now league scoring mark in p iling UP four dozen runs against the new East. Patchogue entry . . . We doubt if there are two finer keystone combinations any- when in slo-ball or fast pitch circles than Tom Murphy and Bill Kaznow ski of Asphalt and Buddy Fuoco and Babe Scavelli of Hag- erman . . . One of the major keys to tho success of Neppell' s In- surance throughout the past few years is the confidence displayed by the players . We get the impression in observing them perform that Ed Mansfield' s boys feel to a man that they have the team capable of defeating anyone standing in their path. To date this attitude has certainly paid off for there is no team in the area who ' can boast of m winning record over the men from Mastic Beach. John Readey of Dan ' s Cruise Inn getting off to a flying start with live hits in his first seven at bats. The Link Cleaners and Loper Brothers , -co-favorites in the Northern Brookhaven League , are finding some stiff competition in the Tinker ' s Bank , a new entry in the league this season. The Bankers have cashed in five victories hi six starts to lead the league by one full game ... In addition to the annual all-star slo-ball games between the village and town leagues this summer wo would like to suggest a special post season encounter between the league champs from the Bellport and Patch- oLiie Leagues. A game of this type would appeal more to the fan than the all-star game , for generall y speaking you will see better all-around team p lay from a league champion than you do from an all-star group who hav e not had the opportunity to work together durin g st ason play as a unit. SUMMER BUS PICK-UP — The popular feature of bus pick-up service introduced for the first time 'by Boh Cooney last summer here in Brookhaven will be continued during the coming summer month * . The buses will pass through the scattered communities of the township for the purpose of picking up youngsters for trips to the beaches , parks , swimming pool or when weather is bad to in- door club houses. The trips will be supervised by adult supervisors representing the town recreation program. This particular activity proved extremely popular last summer as iti gave many a boy and . en! the opportunity to enjoy their vacation days , doing the things they like to do.

BY JAMES BARBANELL W EST BABYLON — Victory se ems to be far out of reach for the Patch- ogue Hi gh School baseball team. Last Thursday, the Red Raiders suffered their ninth strai g ht defeat and eleventh in 13 games overall as West Bab y lon defeated the locals , 9-2. It was also Patchogue ' s fifth stra i ght defeat in A-2 League p lay. !> Ki .uhfhander Richie DePuy, who went all the way for the first place Eag les , was solidly backed b y an ei^ht-hit attack , led by his battery mate Phil Bassi . The lat- ter smashed a home run , two doubles and a single to drive in six runs. Bob DeRosa and Larry Puis will attest to the authenticity of Bas- si' s power. DeRosa served up the home run and two doubles while Puis escaped with only a single. Puis , a lefthander , relieved De- Rosa in the fourth inning when the Eagles scored six unearned runs to put the game out of Pat- chogue ' s reach. Will Bauer opened with a single and Kamel Wozniak was safe on an error by third baseman Frank Pugliese . After Bob McFadden fanned , Gerry Giesler sent a potential double play ball to second baseman Rod Rohrbach. But the latter babbled the ball and the flood gates were open. Quickl y taking advantage , De- Rosa ran smack into Bassi again who promptly delivered thre e in- surance rums with a double. Puis replaced DeRosa and got Chuck Ohmiller on a grounder to third but Pugliese hobbled the ball for his second error of the inning. Tom Kirstis flied out for the second out but Puis walked DePuy and Ken Paton to force in another run. Bauer , up for the second time , slashed a single to center for the final two runs. Following that , the Raider southpaw allowed a single to Bassi with two out in the fifth and an- other by Kirstis leading off the sixth. Kirstis was erased on a double play from Rohrbach to Bud Rooney to Elwyn Schaefer. Unti l the fourth , DeRosa had been touched for a pair of runs in the first and another in the third . McFadden walked on a three-one count to lead off the first. One out later , Bassi lined the Patchogue hurler ' s first pitch over the left field fence , some 400 feet away. This blow tied the score as the Raiders scored their two runs in the top half of the inning. After getting past the second , DeRosa was in hot water again in the third. Escape for the Patch- ogue righthander appeared most unlikel y. Giesler walked and scored on Bassi' s booming double up the ri g ht centerfield alley. Ohmiller reached first safel y when Rooney fumbled his grounder and Kirsti s walked to fill the bases. However , DeRosa strai g htened himself out. DePuy ' s grounder to Rooney forced Bassi at the p late and Pato n was thrown out at first by Rooney. The Raiders ruined DePuy ' s chances for a shutout with two runs right at the outset. Rohrbach was safe on Bauer ' s erro r and was sacrificed to second by Pete Borella. Fred Davies fa nned for the second out but Schaefer blast- ed a long double off the left field fence , easily scoring Rohrbach. Schaefer scored on another West Babylon error as Rooney ' s third out grounder went through short- stop Wozniak' s legs. The hit gave Schaefer two doubles and was only the Raiders ' eighth extra base hit of the sea- son. It was also his sixth run bat- ted in , most on the team. DePuy allowe d three more hits the rest of the way. Davies singled to left with two out in the fifth , Phil Benincasa to the same sector with one awa y in the sixth and Borella punche d one up the middle after two were out in the seventh. Averages show that Rohrbach lead s the team with a .300 average. Right behind him are Schaefer and Borella with .290 and .286 marks respectivel y. Davies is next with .273. Puis leads the pitchers with a 2-1 mark. Rooney and Lechtrecker are 0-3 and DeRosa is 0-2.

P chogue High Nine Defeated By W. Babylon in League Tilt Patchogue High School' s track team won eight of 14 events but failed to have enough seconds and thirds and were defeated by Amityville , 63-55 , May 9. The Red Raiders ' star sophomore , Phil Graniello , captured his fifth straight double of the season when he won the 100 (10.5) and captured the broad iumn with a leap of 20-3. Bill Patterson was the victor in the 880 for his fourth triumph this Spring in his specialty, as was Dick Hutchens in the mile. Eric Sackstein and Joe Rupolo gave Patchogue 10 points via vic- tories in the wei ght events. Sack- stein , a sophomore . hurled the dis- cus 136-11. The school record is 141 feet set by Sonny Pansini in 1953. Bill Scibek picked up five more points for the Raiders as he won the pole vault with a flight of 10-6. Patchogue ' s medley relay team als o remained undefeated—winn- ing in 3:55 which is their best clocking of the season. Members of the winning quartet were John Capioppo , Jake Holz , Ray Zahar- atos and Steve Bates. This was the most exciting event of the day as Bates erased a 30-yardi deficit to defea t Amityville ' s an- chor man Jim Washington by five yards. Howeve r , Amityville had clinch- ed the meet with their victory in the 880-yard relay. Wayne Beau- bian , Lou Mosley, John Lowe and Al Leftenant were the winning foursome , breaking the tape in the impressive clocking of 1:34. A clean sweep of three events were the deciding factors. Lowe , followed by Al Williams and Norm Sonne were one , two , three in the hop, ste p and jump. Mosley, Left- enant and Charles Bond took all three places in the 220 while Lowe , Sonne and Neil Adams were tied for first place in the high jump. Amityville ' s other winners were Williams in the 440 and Beaubian in the hurdles. Other Patchogue point scorers were Bill Mulvey and John Manur- ing who p laced two , three in the 440 and Ray Henson was second to Patterson in the half mile. John Celauro finished second in the hurdles and was third in the pole vault. Ken Ruzicka was sec- ond in the shot put. Amityville 63 , Patchogue 55 100 -1. Graniello (P) ; 2. Mosley (A) ; 3.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL — ADVERTISE Patchogue High Track Men Beaten by Amityville Team BY GARY SHEFFIELD With a split of their last two home games to their credit , the Bayport Hi g h Varsity baseball team increased its overall record to five victories and seven defeats. Last Wednesday in a non-league contest , the Porters overwhelmed Lake Grove , 1 2-7 and on the following day, they were set back b y the Buccanneers of Islip, 4- 0 . The Islip game proved to be an exciting pitching duel. Bruce Ho- mis hurled for Islip while Lefty Martin handled the mound duty for the Porters. Isli p was the first to score, but not until the third inning of play. After the first batter of the inn- ing popped up to first , Martin yielded a walk to Homis. This proved to be a mistake as a stolen base and a clutch single by Bill Davis , the Buccanneer catcher , produced the game ' s first tall y. The Poiters fought hard in an effort to score , but in the next two innings , Martin was the only Porter who managed to hit safely off Islip ' s fir; J balling pitcher. In the top of the fifth , Islip collected three insurance runs which iced the game. A sing l e by Tom Jordon and a double b y Ho- mis put the pressure on the Bay- port nine. The next ball hit was to shortstop. In an effort to pre- vent another run from scoring, Ed Black played th- ball to the plate but the throw was late. A single by Davis , his third of the day, produced two more runs and brought Islip ' s run total to four. This was all the cushion Homis needed as he retired th' 1 last seven Porter batsmen in order to gain the victory. Martin who pitched the entire game , allowing only five hits and two walks , was tagged with the defeat. Bayport Wins The Lake Grove game also p lay- ed on Bayport ' s home field proved to be more successfu l for Bayport. Senior Tom Schaal , drew the p itching assignment , his first since joining , the Bayport High squad. Opposing him on the mound was Jimmy George. In the first inning Schaal retired the first three Grove batters in order , striking out two of them. Then , in their half of the inning the Porters sent eight men to bat as they scored five times. Three walks , an error and singles off the bats of Tippy Follenius and Wall y Loughran accounted for the scoring. Five runs behind , Lake Grove wasted no time in coming back. An error , two walks and a clutch single by George , changed the score to 5-2. However , Lake Grove didn 't stop there. In the third inning, the Grove men bombarded Schaal and Bayport , scoring four more times to cap ture the lead. Two walks , two costly fielding errors and a solid base hit accounted for three of the four runs and ended Schaal' s pitching for the after- noon. Butch Worrad came in to try to end the inning. He got the firs t batter to ground out to short , which would have been the third out , however a misplay by the Porter shortstop, allowed the fourth run to cross the p late. Tak- ing no more chances , Worra d struck out the nex t batter on four pi tches. s — Baypor t Scores In their half of the third , the Porter batsmen came back strong for seven runs . Numerous walks and several Lake Grove errors ac- counted for most of the runs. Tony Canning and Fohenius provided the run-producing hits. Armed with a substant ' al lead , Worrad reall y went to work. In the next two innings he faced seven batters.
