The party began at eight o’clock in the evening, and dancing was to the music of the Rendes Brothers’ Or­chestra (all members of this orchestra are Verhovay brethren). At ten-thirty o’clock George Balasko, President of Branch 21, opened the more formal part of the program and greeted the attending members and guests. A tele­gram from the Supreme President, Joseph Darago, was read, in which the Pre­sident regretted that he was unable to attend the affair. President Darago, in his tele­gram. instructed Director Brogley to represent him and present the trophy to the Softball League cham­pions. Diiector Brogley was then introduced by Mr. Ba­lasko. The Director greeted the assembled group and, in the name of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Associa­tion, congratulated and praised the winning team for its victory, for its splen­did cooperation and for its practical display of frater­­nalism and sportsmanship. Director Brogley also made appreciative mention of the other teams of both leagues, calling upon them to repeat next year the excellent work they had accomplished this season of 1940. The addresses were made both in the En­glish and Hungarian lan­guages. At this point Director Brogley presented the covet­ed beautiful metal trophy to the manager of the vic­torious Youngstown team, Joseph Nagy, and Manager Nagy arose to express his team’s gratitude for the fine gift, their happiness in the sincere interest taken by the Verhovay toward sports, and their deeply felt appre­ciation of the hospitality extended to them while traveling by the other Ver­hovay sport units. Phil Houser, the Business Man­ager, also spoke, praising the Verhovay for its sports­mindedness. The members of the victorious team, who meanwhile were standing on the stage through this part of the program, were next Introduced formally by Di­rector Brogley. A telegram in which he stated his regrets at not be­ing able to attend and in which he extolled the fine character and sportmanship of the Youngstown boys, was received from William C. Kohut, the Business Man­ager of the Baseball and Softball League, and read to the audience. The supper served was de­licious and appetizing, thanks to the unselfish and splendid cooperation of the ladies. A veritable avalanche of doughnuts, made by Mrs. Cene, Mrs. Rigo, Mrs. Illés and Mrs. Pivamick, all Ver­hovay members, was con­sumed by the guests. A var­iety of refreshments was served also. After the food and refresh­ments dancing continued till early in the morning. Zelienople and others were represented at the event. Due to its dance held the same night, Beaver Falls was unable to attend.--------------------O-------------------­TOLEDO, OHIO The Verhovay FootbaU Team By: ANDY G. FARKAS Washington Redskins On my brief visit home I saw the game between Birmingham’s Verhovay foot­ball team and a local club called the Senecas. As I walked towards Bir­mingham Field, a place dear to my heart, as it was there I was first inspired in foot­ball ways by that grand old team, the “Boosters”—I imagined I was to witness anything but a football team. Flash, fight, team spirit and a brilliantly dressed football team greeted my eyes. Once again I was see­ing that fighting spirit of the Hungarian boys and it was wonderful, it was swell. There was Babu Horvath, a scrappy little guard if there ever was one, playing his heart out because he loves to play and win. I al­most did not believe my eyes when I was told that the player who was handling the ball so nicely and mak­ing those thrilling runs was E3mer Toth,—he looks to be better football timber than his famous brother “Sham.”. There were others like young Sosko passing, kick­ing, and running with a little more ability than his older brother Steve displayed at such a young age. The youngster also showed a marked tendency to have some of that well known ‘ ice water” in his veins when the going got though—this quality was lacking some­what in the older Steve. My bet is that young Sosko will pass the gridiron achieve­ments of Brother Steve in time to come. The team, as a whole, played good football and with a few more games un­der their gridiron belt they will be difficult to beat. If the boys and their coaches, Bill Myers and Sam Szemetko don’t mind, I would like to offer a few simple suggestions that will improve the timing and running of their plays. The backfield plays are too close together and also too near the line of scrim­mage. Blocking can be improved by having the linemen charge instead of throwing their bodies on the ground with the hope of tripping the opponents. Condition is important to any club and it is the best conditioned team that wins. It is the players who are in the best physical shape that score more touchdowns and win the most games—regard­less of what some of the old timers tell you. Birmingham has a fine team in its midst. Unlike the former neighborhood heavyweights, the “Boosters’ and the “Ads”, the “Verho­vay” team is composed of lightweights, but like those two great teams of the past —this young club has the same fighting spirit and lots of it. Keep up the good work, boys, and follow the guid­ance of your coaches for they want to win as much as the players. This paper and myself of­fer congratulations and best wishes to the Verhovay Fra­ternal Insurance Association for sponsoring a football teem that shows promise of caning their play and names into our hearts. “Toledo” Oct. 11, 1940 issue.--------------------O-------------------­IN THIS TROUBLED WORLD of today we of America should rejoice in the fact that we live in a De­mocracy that can settle its affairs without violence to the life and liberty of its peoples, and we should give sober recognition of these blessings with a gratitude to fate for having provided them.

On another occasion he played at a soirée where (me of the guests was the Em­press of Russia. He had of­fended her by not going to St. Petersburg and she was so unresponsive to his first selections that no one dared to applaud. This piqued Liszt and he made up his mind to conquer her cold­ness. His next number was Schubert’s “Ave Maria,” and he played with such soulful expression that the Empress burst into tears, and the audience applauded frantic­ally.
