CLEVELAND TAKES DOUBLEHEADER

Detroit Loser

In a baseball match played on September 1, the Cleveland Verhovays defeated their visiting Verhovay opponents from Detroit.

These teams represented Branches 45 and 36, of Cleveland and Detroit, respectively.

After the games both teams were honored with a dinner given by the Cleveland branch at 8 o’clock in the Burchar restaurant.

The captain of the Detroit team thanked Cleveland for

HOMESTEAD DOWNS REFORMED FEDERATION

The Homestead Verhovay Softball Team observed the annual Magyar Day outing at Kenny wood Park this year by defeating the Hungarian Reformed Federation Softballers 6 to 5 after a hard-fought game.

The Verhovay Insurance Agents were not up to par in this game, and were guilty of some loose play. On the mound for the Verhovays was Bullet Joe Hasak, who pitched an excellent game, walking off the field with about ten strike-outs to his credit. Opposing the Verhovays was Bert Nagy, who pitched a good, steady game for the Federation.

Ozzie Toth, dependable center fielder for the Verhovays, featured the game with a long, two-run homer, his hit clearing the head of the opposing team’s center fielder.

With the score standing 6 to 4 in favor of the Verhovays, the Federation came up to bat. They managed to drive one run across with no outs, and 2nd and 3rd bases occupied. At this time, Joe Hasak tightened up, and proved his worth. If ever grit and determination were shown on a diamond, they were certainly shown here. Joe rifled the ball passed two batsmen for two strikeouts, and forced the third man to hit an easy roller to Pete Dargo, shortstop. He saved the day for the Verhovays by snuffing out this last minute rally on the part of the Federation.

By capturing this game from the Federation boys, the Homestead Verhovays copped local district honors.

its hospitality, and promised to reciprocate that kind reception when Cleveland goes to Detroit.

The complete scores for the two games are as follows:

HUNGARIAN SUMMER SCHOOL SUCCESSFULLY CLOSES

the class will be larger and will become better as the students learn the new book.

Fraternally,

July 21, 1940 was a memorable day for the thirty-two students of Branch 129 of Columbus, Ohio. On this day the Verhovay sponsored Hungarian Summer School closing exercises were held.

The school committee consisted of the officers of Branch 129, and the very capable teacher, Mrs. Irma Paul, presided at the closing exercises. I was present as a member of the Board of Directors, and witnessed the exercises.

I was very much impressed with the progress made by the children, since this is the first year for the new Hungarian school book. The rapidity with which the children learned the letters of the alphabet, the verses and the stories, showed the great value of this book and its possibilities in the years to come. It will help to preserve the Hungarian folklore and culture, and the children will retain them as heritages of their forefathers.

Jos. H. Prince, M. D. Director of District 8.-------------------O-------------------POLIO CLAIMS

OMAHA CHILD

Sunday, August 18th, Joey White, 3 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira White, Omaha, Nebraska, went to a party. That same evening Joey was rushed to St. Josephs Hospital and placed in an iron lung, a victim of poliomyelitis.

The summer session began with thirty-two students ranging in age from four to fourteen years. Each and every student showed that he and she was eager to learn as much as possible during these sessions. The way they read the letters of the alphabet, recited the stories and verses, showed that they were in the hands of a very capable teacher.

Prizes were given to the best all-round student, and to the boy and the girl who showed the most progress during the sessions. Irene Chosy won the prize for the girl making the best progress during the term. James Fodor won the prize for the boy making the most progress during the term. Wilma Krazer won the prize for the best all-round student during the term.

I do hope that next yea

All the resources of Science could not save Joey and, Tuesday night, this only child forsook all that was mortal and journeyed to a place of eternal peace and happiness.

Private funeral services at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery were attended by immediate members of the family. Flowers were sent by all who knew aiji loved this little boy. As a special courtesy, Gaspar Kuti, President, Andrew Toth, Vice-President; Louis Simcho and Andrew Simcho, acting as Secretary and Treasurer, respectively, were pallbearers.

All American Hungarians extend the parents their sincerest sympathies at their bereavement.

First death in Verhovay •Branch 278.
