Merchants, Little Betty Will Meet In "Dream Game"

The "dream game" that all baseball fans have wanted to see i will come true Sunday when the high flying Little Betty Miners invade the lair of the Sullivan Merchants for a battle which could be a "preview" of the coming "Little World ' Series" between the winners of the Western Indiana league. j Little Betty roared through the first half with little trouble and ; the red hot Merchants are in a first place deadlock with Great Lakes with the second half nearly completed. Great Lakes eked out a 6-3 decision over Little Betty last Sunday under the arcs at the Stadium to snap a nine game winning streak for the miners. Behind the brilliant pitching and hitting of Tommy Osborn, and Minor Walters, who still can hurl with the best of them, Sullivan leaves little doubt in the minds of the Cass township gang that Sunday's game will be no pushover. The locals have rounded into mid-season form ' with Gabe Takats, Carol McGarvey and Lee French forming one of the best of outer gardens. Bill Taylor : has proved himself to be far out in front of all Western Indiana j League third sackers and after giving his charges a week of rig-1 id workouts, Manager Harold . "Sailor" Ferree was singing high praises for the classy fielding of "Beans" McGarvey, Jack McCammon, "Shang" Moore and Bill Thewlis. In little Charley "Cheer" Fields Who owns a 10-2 record with 81 ' strikeouts to his credit, the min-' ers claim the league's top twirler. . Little Betty has capable co-managers fn Wayne Wright and Roy Herndori, former American Assoc- ' iation star., . The 30, year old Herndon was forced to retire from organized ball due to an old injury but still covers plenty of ground in center . field for the Miners and sports a neat i .380 1 batting average. Herndori is aptly flanked by Bill McCammon. .and "Curly" Hiatt, both hard hitting fly chasers and their infield of ' "Dude" Zaayer, "Lefty" Laughlin, Fred Van Horn, Tony Pope and Hersch Beasley is one of the best ever assembled by a county team. Pavilion, Park is expected to be jammed to near capacity when Big Tom Osborn takes the mound to match his blazing fast ball against the curve ball slants of little, but mighty, Charley Fields. .. . Bud McCammon will be on hand to bring to the fans a play by play, pitch by pitch description of the game via the public address system made possible through the courtesy of Gene Rusk of Gene's Radio Service. Game time is 2:30 CST. BIRTHDAY OF A. A. F. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (UP) Army Air Force planes today Daas in review ' over cities throughout the world in com memoration of the 39th anniversary of the A.
