{BLANFORD CUBS , GO TO CHICAGO 6 4 , Indianapolis, Ind , Aug. 1. — Having < fought their way to-the state championship against great odds, the Blanford Cubs, a sandlot baseball nine, will go to Chicago with all expenses ; paid, to represent Ibis state in a base I bull tournament to determine the reI glottal winners on August 8 and 9. i The Blanford Cubs, from the little i mining town near Clinton, will be in • the charge of Robert W. Bushee, of I Ossian, state athletic officer of the American Legion, when they go to | lie Windy City to meet the champion- | ship teams from Ohio, Michigan, and ■ Illinois. Tire Blanford Cubs, state winners. ' wort national fame in the junior baseball world series of tire Legion to which organized baseball contributed $5(1,(100, because of tire sensational playing of Miss Margaret Glsolo, plucky fifteen-year-old second baseman. Sire is the only girl in tire United States playing in the Legion tournament and upon several occasions pulled her team out of the hide. The Indiana department of the American Legion is proud of the success of its first statewide junior baseball program, said Frank M. McHale, of Logansport, state commander. In tills state there was a total of 232 teams comprising more than 3,200 boys on the diamonds competing felicity, county, and state championship, while in the United States more than 122,000 boys were playing, said McHale. Those who have watched the boys in action and observed their good sportsmanship, their gentlemanly behavior, and their enthusiasm, realize that the Legion was making of the boys better citizens, said State Com- | mander McHale. Tire Blanford Cults, some of whom I , have never seen a city as large as are greatly enthused over 11 their trip with all expenses paid ami confident of victory, said James Perona, their manager. Tony Gisolo. brother of Margaret, who plays ball in the Wabash valley league, will aci company his sister to the Chicago I tournament. The Blanford Cubs did not win the state tournament by fluqes I but by steady, consistent, good ball playing. Winning uniforms in which I to play as spoils of war after defeating the Terre Haute Blue Devils, facing the problem of financing the team, <nd over-coming an attempt to oust , i Margaret because of the rules of , eligibility, were some of the battles i the Cubs won off the diamond. The way Margaret handles herself on the field and plays ball is shown i by the Blanford-Clinton duel for the I Vermillion county championship. The sedfe was tied. 7 to 7, in the twelfth inning when Margaret came to bat for Blanford as a pinch hitter to bring a man in from thiid. Margaret let two 1 curves go by and then gave the ball a mighty swat, sending it over the head of the Baptist Junior second baseman, and bringing the man in. Margaret, the bashful modest little high school sophomore, continued her star playing at Terre Haute and Indianapolis leading her nine to victory. . o YESTERDAY’S HOME RUNS Player and Club S.T.
