Our sorrow is due to the lack of co-operation we are getting from those who are supposed to do the things we are to write about. As yet we haven't shown any indication of developing into a good sports writer, but we Might if given the chance. We are willing but it seems that everything is against us... Oh, all right, we’ll quit moaning... but first, listen to this: Being under the impres­sion that Jacobs Creek was to play Hazelwood here on Sunday, August 11th, as per schedule in the “Lapja,” we itinerated to the place of combat with the intention of getting some first hand information on the game which would serve as mater­ial for this sports column. When we arrived at Burg­­win Park, we were armed to the teeth with writing implements, in anticipation of an athletic battle between the boys from the Creek and the Hazel woodsmen. There was no game, the world dropped out from under us, but we managed to pull ourselves together. We were, however, com­pensated in some measure by having the privilege of renewing acquaintances with Messrs. Bennett, Silvassy and Mészáros, who com­prise the managerial de­partment of the local Ver­­hovay team. “Chief” Ben­nett, as he is known locally, and Mr. Silvassy we met at the park; Mr. Mészáros at his father’s place of busi­ness. 45 STRIKE-OUT MASSED BY THREE PITCHERS IN SINGE GAMES We had to find this out by ourselves—what we are telling you now—but the managers of the teams con­cerned could have called it to our attention long ago. Way back in July 1940, the thirteenth day of the month, Jacobs Creek was playing Walkertown. In this game the Walkertown hurler, Christinus, struck out 19 men and held the opposition to three scattered hits. Johnny Komar, pitch­ing for the losers, fanned twelve men himself but was By JOHN “DIRK” FULOP nicked for fourteen hits. Both pitchers have a good strike-out record there. Over in the Softball League (which we have been neglecting lately) we found another good pitching re­cord. The second game of a double-header between Youngstown and Homestéad found Cegan twirling for Youngstown. He had four­teen strike-outs. Added to the 19 strike-outs of Christ - inus and the 12 of Komái we have a total 45. In the future, if any unusual re­cords are made, please let me know about them and I will gladly mention them here. LONG NIGHT GAME The Pirates and the Cards played under the Mazdas on August 14th, and the game went into extra in­nings. When the game was finally ended it was 1 A. M. If it had gone any longer we are wondering if the game would have been called on account of day­light. (Ain’t we the come­dian?) ON THE SIDE In his last message to the readers of the Journal, “Reivax” stated that he would again take up the pen if requested to do so. I am asking him now to please come back. He’ll have something to sink his teeth into when he starts tearing my column apart. Well, that’s three strikes on me and I’m out.. . Hope you’ll all be here the next time I come up to bat.--------------O-------------­YOUNGSTOWN WINS TWO OVER BEAVER FALLS Cegan Allows Only Two Hits in First Game — Homers by Robinson, Peck.

The Verhovay Branches of District Five in collaboration with the Hungarian Church­es held the First Annual Verhovay Hungarian Day at Saint Michael’s Park of that city. Merriment began early in the day despite the weather which had a veiy definite hint of Autumn in it, special transportation having been chartered from many parts of Pennsylvania. There was an estimated account of ap­proximately two thousand attending the affair during the course of the day. The banquet hall and dance pavilion were vividly decorated in the patriotic colors of red, white and blue, with an archway of oak garlands encircling the speakers’ platform. The cen­terpiece on each table was comprised of a mixed bou­quet of cut flowers, adding an extra touch of color to the scene. All of the wait­resses and ladies in atten­dance were gaily attired in typical Hungarian costume, blending remarkably well with the background of American colors. The speakers during the afternoon program utilized their time with discourses on subjects dating from early European history to a smattering of regional poli­tical eloquence. In the evening the dance floor was faintly reminiscent of old court days with the sweet strains of violins and wild gypsy s»irs floating on the stirring breeze, being carried away into the night until the whole countryside resounded with music, laugh­ter and gaiety. A few of those present were Mr. and Mrs. A. Ka­tona and sons, Edward and Joseph; Mr. Vendel Petro­­vitz; Mr. and Mrs. John Chesney; Mrs. Bandic. voca­list of the evening; Brother Theodore Kapes, missionary Father recently returned from Bengal, India; and Mr. Cal Horvath, who represent­ed one of the finest ex­amples of McAdoo’s Hun­garian youth at this occa­sion. A résumé of the after­noon's program follows: “America,” Audience. Invocation, Reverend An­thony J. Molnár. Introductory Remarks and Introduction of Toastmaster, Frank Muller. Toastmaster, G. John Bru­­ger. Remarks, Honorable James P. Costello, Jr., Mayor of Hazleton, Pa. “Famous Dance,” Hunga­rian Catholic Daughters of Scranton.

You no doubt are optimistic and think you will eventually land one, but we think you will find that hop-to-it-ism will beat optimism, and bring home the bacon.
