Wowasee Wins First Conference Battle

The Wawasee Warriors won their first Northern Lakes conference game last Thursday evening by defeating Concord by the narrow margin of 24. The Warriors are participating in this conference for the first time this summer. The conference is composed of North Manchester, Rochester, Plymouth, Warsaw, Bremen, Nappanee, Concord and the local Warriors. Rob Clevenger went all the way for the local squad and pitched an outstanding game. He only allowed the Minutemen two hits, both of them singles. Clevenger was in control all of the way and struck out six Concord batters while walking four. The game proved to be a real pitching duel between Clevenger and Tessar of Concord. Tessar only allowed the Warriors three hits and he struck out 10 Warriors while only walking two batsmen. Coach Bill Dorsey’s Warriors got the bats ringing in the top of the fourth as Tom Gunden led off with a single. Clevenger then followed with a fielder’s choice and was safe on a throwing error. Greg Smith provided the timely hit driving in the first

Warriors Bitten By Lions 8-3

Bremen spoiled the Wawasee Warriors bid to keep their Northern Lakes conference slate clear Monday night as the Lions handed the Warriors their first conference loss by the score of 8-3. Two bad innings allowing the Lions to score six runs ruined the efforts of the local cfiamondmen. Tom Gunden started the game for the Warriors but pitched only two and one-third innings as he failed to possess his usual fine control. Gunden walked the first man in the first inning, hit the second batsman before he really found the range. Gunden struck out four and walked two during his brief tenure on the mound. Baker relieved Gunden and did a fine job in relief. Baker struck out six Lions while he walked 1 only one batter. The second and third innings were the black ones for the local squad as they permitted Bremen batsmen to cross the plate three times in each inning. Three timely hits and two walks aided the Bremen cause in the second. In the third inning a sharp line

Warrior run. Another run came across the plate for the Warriors as the Concord shortstop committed an error on Steve Mock’s sharp grounder through the middle. Concord scored their lone run in the sixth inning as the first hatter walked, stole second, went to third on an infield out, and then scored on a wild pitch. However, this was all the damage the Minutemen could muster against the strong pitching arm of Clevenger. Jon Coy, Warrior center fielder, continued his hitting streak as he hit safely for the third straight game. Tom Gunden and Greg Smith collected the other two singles for the local squad. Box scores: Wawasee — Coy cf 301, Firestone c 200, Gunden 3b 311, Clevenger p 310, Baker ss 200, Smith ?b 301, Mock rs 200, Culver If 300, Hartley 2b 100, Runge rs 000. Anderson lb 100.

drive got by the Warrior left fielder with two runners on hoard and ended up with three runs crossing the plate. Hence, the local diamondmen of coach Bill Dorsey found themselves behind early in the game and failed to catch the rampaging Lions. The local Warriors tied the game in the bottom of the first as Charlie Baker came across the plate as the Bremen shortstop failed to handle a sharp smash pff of the bat of Rob Clevenger. Steve Mock added another run to the Warrior’s total in the bottom of the second as he hit his second home run of the season. The Warrior bats did not ring again until the sixth inning when Clevenger led off with a single. Clevenger stole second and then came home with the third run of the game as Andy Hartley singled through the middle of the diamond. Rob Clevenger led the hitting attack of the Warriors as he collected two singles. Jon Coy continued his hitting as he hit safely for the fourth straight game. The Warriors collected six hits off of Young, the left-handed hurler of the Lions. Bremen collected six hits off of the Warrior hurlers, Gunden and Baker. The difference in the ball game was the timeliness of the hitting and a few costly defensive errors on the part of the Warriors. Box scores: Wawasee — C6y cf 201, Baker ss 210, Gunden p 401, Clevenger lb 312, Smith 3b 300, Hartley 2b 201, Firestone c 200, Mock rs 311, Culver If 200, Anderson If 100.

Youth Drowns—(Continued From Page 1) skindivers. Just as Bob Mills pulled the lifeless body of Leal from the watery depths, an Elkhart skindiver arrived and was putting on his swim togs. Young Leal was found' about 40 feet from shore in about 15 feet of water, Mills said. Deep Lake Waubee lake, located a mile and a half southeast of Milford, and sometimes called Milford lake, is one of the deepest, most treacherous lakes in Kosciusko county. At one time a giant gravel washer was located at the extreme north end of the lake and water was sucked from the lake to wash gravel brought from a pit now being operated by Elmer Zimmerman. Gravel so washed was used to gravel roads and considerable gravel was shipped by rail from this washer. Hie residual sand was put on a huge mound, and when the gravel company went defunct in the early 1930 s and was later torn down as a WPA project, the sand made an ideal bathing beach. At one time considerable marl was dug from the lake’s bottom and moved out on a narrow gauge railroad that went around the lake over a line to the Syracuse concrete plant. Many old timers still remember that. As a result the lake is deeper than most. At the point where young Leal drowned, for example, the bottom descends rapidly, then at about 30 to 40 feet out has a sharp drop-off. Local swimmers who have been accustomed to the bathing area know this and do not venture out until they have become skilled as swimmers. Final Rites Final burial rites for Arnoldo Leal were held at 3 p.m. Tues day, June 18, at the Milford funeral home. Interment was in the Milford cemetery. Besides his parents who live north of road 6 in Elkhart county, young Leal is survived by four brothers and 10 sisters, all living. Leal was born May 21, 1950, in Orange' Grove, Tex. The brothers are: Jesse of New Paris, Crisanto. Jr., and Arnulfo at home, and Noe De of San Antonio, Tex. The deceased is a twin to Arnulfo. The sisters are: Rosa, Lydia and Yolanda at home, Miss Thelma Meza of Hebbronville, Tex., Mrs. Jesse (Elva) Espinoza of New Paris, Mrs. Samuel (Elda) Rcmerez of Milford, Mrs. Joe (Lucia) Garza of San Antonio, Tex., Mrs. Domingo (Linda) Trevina and Mrs. Joe (Estella) Alaniz of Alice, Tex., and Mrs. Juan (Olga) Vega of Houston, Tex. Mrs. James (Berniece) Longfellow will entertain members of the Thursday Evening Sewing club of Milford in her Warsaw home on Thursday, June 20.

Don Hasse was the winning pitcher while Denny Meyer was given the loss. Dana Haab scored two runs for the Warriors. Coach Mike Kurtz reported Hasse struck out 10 and pitched a very good game. The junior varsity now has a 2-1 record.
