Set Summer Basketball Town Rec. Committee Doings: By Win Olms PLAN SI MMER COURT PROGRAM — The town recreation summer basketball program will open officially in two weeks with a high school and an open division competing beneath the lamps of the Centereach Recreation Park outdoor court. Early indications would lead us to believe that participation , particularly in the high school class , will be exceptionally heavy as in just one week , live teams were heard from requesting that they be included in the activity. Teams from Patchogue , Blue Point , Yaphank and North Patchogue have been entered with teams representing the Port Jeff . Patchogue and Sachem High Schools also taking part. It is felt that the summer court program will prove beneficial to the fellows returnin g to school in September of this year and who expect to go out for their high school teams in the late Fall. The summer pro- gram will help a boy keep himself in top playing condition and should ^o a long way in helping him to get otf to a good start scholastically. * * * * It is not too late for a team or individual\ to register for the program. However , the date of June 22 has been set as an absolute deadline. The hh' h school division is open to all boys, who are re- turning to high school in September , while the open class will take care of all those who have either graduated or have left school. TOWN TENNIS — As each year approaches it seems that something new is added to the ever expanding town recreation program . This summer it will be the incorporation of tennis into the program, with competition being staged at various sites scat- tered throughout the township. Tennis has picked up considerably in the popularit y poll among town citizens and it is felt that competition will be keen in all of the ago categories. The Brook- haven Recreation Department is anxious to learn how the sporting public feels about the tennis program and for this reaso n has an- nounced that they are accep ting applications from anyone interested in takin g part. As soon as a sufficient number of entrants have been heard from , pairings will be made for the purpose of holding a town-wide tourney later in the summer. Those who are interested may either call or ' drop in at the town hall , and you will be con- tacted regarding the p lay ing schedule in the very near future. SUDDEN DEATH — With six weeks of competition tucked away in the pages of history, the outcome of the North Bellport Slo-Ball race for fi rst half honors is still very much undecided. In what was figured to be the biggest game of the season before the schedule opened , has turned out to be just that as the Hagerman Fire Department and Brookhaven Asphalt meet tonight at the North Bellport Recreation Field. The winner must still meet Ron & Bill' s (assuming R&B defeats Cruise Inn) tomorrow night with the winner picking up the first half crown. As for the big one tonight , the game will match two powerfull y constructed squads who have all- star candidates at every position on the roster. Both clubs have the necessary muscle to powder the ball to all corners of the real estate and for this reason we feel that the outcome of the game will be decided as most slo-ball encounters are — in the defensive department. Here , too , the two clubs are very evenl y matched. Those familiar with local sports will probably all agree that it would be difficult to locate a keystone combo with quicker hands than Bill Kaznowski and Red Murphy of the Asphalt. How ever , in Babe Seaveill and Buddy Fuoco , the Hagermanites have what many feel is the equal to that of the North Bellport champions. In Jim Kelly and Charlie Greco , Hagerman has two of the strongest arms in the league while the Asphalt can also boast of a strong outer patrol in the persons of Felix Mancuso , Bud Corwin. Ray MacLean and Eddie Fuoco. A believer in statistics would have to string along with the Asphalt who have scored an average of 21.5 runs per game while giving up just 5.6. Hagerman on the other hand has dented the plate on an average of 19 times per game while being scored on 8.5 per contest. However , if this game is like any of the other big ones played at the North Bellport site , all past tiguves can be tossed into the scrub oaks, which sur- round the premises for the outcome of the game will in all proba- bilit y lie decided by a break or by the fact that a key defensive p lay is executed at a time when it counts the most. JUNIOR BASEBALL OUTLOOK — Making a pro-season pre- diction as to the outcome of a baseball race here in township recrea- tion circles is a difficult if not impossible task. However , we would like to mention here and now that the team to beat in the Eastern Division Junior race is that of Pat Daddio ' s who represents the North Bellport Athletic Association. Joe George ' s C-orace clouters who dominated league play last summer have lost many of their key performers from last season and will probably find the going rough. The Rockets look to he still a year away from chances of a perch on top of the league ladder , with Manorville , Mastic and East Moriches perhaps having a dark horse contender. NBAA skip- per Pat Daddio has been working hard to put together what he hopes to be a championship club this spring and we feel that he has every reason to be well satisfied with the team ' s showing in practice sessions to date. The NBAA and the Rockets will open the ' 61 season this Monday night at the North Bellport Field in a game which will give us a clearer picture of what to expect in the weeks to follow. * * * ODDS 'N ENDS — The 2-1 slo-ball result of the game played last week in the North Patchogue League between Safeway Bldrs. and Carlson Homes was one of the best exhibitions of slo-ball ever staged in this area. Tied up at one each after the regulation seven innings it took a deep fly ball bv Rudy Avitabile to win it for the Builders . . . John Luongo , who has gained the respect of all oppos- ing teams in the North Bell port loop, turned in the most .o u tstanding batting performance in league history last week. The Ron & Bill first sacker hit four consecutive home runs against East Patchogue . . . With all-star talk becoming more prominent with each passing week we would like to take this opportunity to cast our ballot for what we feel ia tops in the North Bellport first division class. At first base we would select John Luongo of Ron & Bill and Pete Schordine of Asphalt- Tom Murp h y of Asphalt and Bud Fuoco are hard to top at second , with Al Musetti .of Neppell' s and John Ste- p hani of Hagerman at the far turn. Bill Kaznowski of Asphalt and Babe Se avelli would get the nod at short. The top eight outfitelders among the four first division clubs would include Tom Neppell , Jr. , Sal r ederico and Mel Santa Maria of Neppell' s Insurance , Bud Corwin and Phil Mancuso of Asphalt , Jim Kelly and Charlie Greco of Hagerman and Bob Staab (the league ' s leading hitter ) of Ron & Bill . Our catchers would be Adam Dobrie of Asphalt and Ernie Acquavello of Neppell' s with Stan Cox of Asp halt and Ralph For- g ione of Ron & Bill on the Hill. We realize that in making this selection the names of many fine performers have been omitted — however , we do feel that the squad , as named , is without a doubt one of the strongest that could be fielded here in the area.

End Loop BY JAMES BARBANELL One word best describes the 196 1 S pring sports season at Patchogue Junior-Senior Hi gh School—frus- tration. Red Raider varsity athletic teams were not at their best this S pring. If there is any consolation , Patchogue second squads had bright seasons. Bad weather also p layed a bi g hand. League A-2 Champions two years in a row , the PITS baseball squad was forced to take a back se ' at this season. Having one of their worst seasons , the Raiders won just four games in IS starts. The Raiders went back into the diamond wars with only one letter- man and four others who saw lim- ited action from last year ' s champ- ionship team. This inexperience in practically all positions hurt the locals. Not until mid-season , did the team start to jell. The scores were now lower but the breaks few. After six frustrating weeks , the Raiders broke a 12-game losing streak when they upset league leading West Babylon 6-3 and Brentwood in a non-leaguer , 9-6. The victories also saw the locals launch their best offensive attack of the season. They batted .208; -coring 50 runs on 91 hits including just nine doubles and four trip les. The pitch- ers , however , were cuffed for 118 runs which tells the story.
