Pine Orchard Showing their fighting qualities after losing the series starter the Mounties came back to defeat Pine Orchards great team in three straight It would be a difficult operation for anyone to select one particular star I dont believe that crafty Mouniie coach Joe Case would even attempt the job However even where the wisest of coaches fears to tread not so your Hash- man were going to call Craig Case the Mounties young pitch ing sensation the standout performer of the series Case came close to recording a nohitter Friday Except for Mike ORourkes dinky little Texas leaguer It would have been a nohitter Nohitter or not Craig Case threw a magnificent game and rates recognition as the award and Theatre pass receiver Hasketts HASH By GEORGE HASKETT Newmarket Sports Editor Mount Albert Upsets Pine Orchard Wins Lake Crown Stan Cook Trophy Joe Cases kids have done it They won the Lake Stan Cook Trophy Friday To annex the much sought after silverware the Mounties turned in an im pressive shutout win over Ab Boakes defending Pine Orchard Youth must be served This years Mount Albert team is probably the youngest crew to ever cop a Stan Cook trophy As I looked Mount Albert diamond Friday couid only see two veteran performers on the team That was those two great out fielders Elmer Paisley and Kelly Case The rest of the team with one or two exceptions have still to cast their first vote Lets give due credit to these young ball players who conquer ed a great Pine Orchard team The maskman was John He is probably the leagues youngest catcher Craig Case another youngster after first game went against him settled down to tame the Pine Orchard hitters in a way that many fans didnt think was possible Stationed around the infield posts from first to third were George Green the oldster of the infield Jim Cupples Paul Main- prize and Brian Stokes The other outfielder who saw most service Alongside veterans Kelly Case and Paisley was Nelson Case Five other youngsters saw service with the Mounties during the playoffs and regular season They were Har old Harper who does a credit able pitching and outfield job Jim John Green Keith Graham and Jim Auckland Joe Case must now be consid ered the Casey Stengel of the Lake league Joe had his young fry up for these final series games Seldom if ever has a pitcher received fin er fielding support A great deal of the credit for the Mount Albert triumph must go to Joe Case His knowledge of gained on the district diamonds over a score of years stood him and his players in good stead when it came to the tough situations Ivan Eves who handled the team in several semifinal games against is also due a tip of the Hash- man So this week a salute if you please to Joe Case and his Mount Albert kids for their success ful drive to the Lake Stan Cook championship If the present club I sticks together this could be the Then whether we ike it or classy of many championships to hocjecy will land on Joe Cases mantle shelf Well you mak ask what hap pened to Pine Orchard Either they lost their batting rye after the first game or Craig Case was just too good After the first game tribe couldnt hit that about sums it up When such renowned sluggers as Howie Ash Nobby Ash Bill Dike Doug Kves and failed to get their fair share of hits you can figure the opposition pitcher is pouring them in in classy style The final game Friday brought the largest attendance of the playoffs However this season the playoff take was away below that of previous years At least that is the way it looked to this observer The games were on a par with previous years but something seems to be keeping the fans away Wonder what it could be Last Season as Pine Orchard wended its way to a title the hit- tew couldnt fathom Doug Card This year however Card wasnt the pitcher of last year and the clicked for their share of hits It was possibly a turn of fate that put Mount Albert in the finals Had Judd hit Curlers Elect A

it a versatile effort tuck ing away strikeouts The Legion noted throughout the season for good fielding went over par on this one They gave steady Eddie Heather the kind of support that would warm the heart of any sender As for the long ball hitting in a way it wasnt required except for insurance purposes With the Legion ahead Bruce Towns- ley strolled in the fifth Fred Dillman next up punched out a home run Don and John Hisey did a repeat minutes later in that same fifth inning drawing the walk and pumping out the basecircler These four runs put the Legion in the drivers scat It was in the previous frame that the Legion stroked ahead Bruce singled to get the scorer working Fred Dill- man was safe on an infield error Don walked and Long John Hisey promptly catapulted three runs home with a base- clearing hit came on to score as the Green Acres got all shook up with several bad throws Green Acres chances to scrap the shutout facing them came few and far between as Heather continued to make like a wizard Jack OHalloran Art and Ross Jones shared Green Ac res hits Lloyd Dyer made it on an error in the third and that quartet was all the Green Acres batters to kick up dust around the basepaths Bob at the tiller for the losers fashioned a six hitter and struck out nine for a good but not good enough pitching effort mer Paisley The rest of the crop probably as yet havent cast their first ballot It was a youngster Craig Case who stood in the middle of the diamond and tamed the high ly touted Pine Orchard bats Case has chucked some great ball this season His Fridays effort a onehitter was possibly his best this season Whipping in with a zipping fast ball that grew eyes to find the corners Case completely tamed the big batsmen from Pine Orchard such as Bill Whiskers Dike Howie and Nobby Ash Doug Card and Josh Preston It was left to a Pine Orchard rookie Mike ORourkc to steal a nohit norun game from Case It was Mikes little looper that popped up and over second base in third that gave Pine Orchard a one and only binglc Only one other Pine Or chard batter trod the base paths That was Williams Wil liams reached on an infield error in the sixth The gave their a lot of help afield All the fielders George Green Jim Cupples Paul and Brian Stokes provided Case with top support Doug Card was Ab choice to put the deep freeze on the For two chapters Card did a fine chore in this re gard In the third the cut their first big slice of champion ship melon The Mounties quick ly got to Card for five hits and three runs George Green and Nelson Case started the action with singles then Elmer Paisley drew a walk and hits by Paul Jim and John This was actually all the run help Craig Case required How ever just to be on the safe side the got swinging for the fences in the next round It was Kelly Cases triple that got matters cooking and Brian Stokes followed with a single Elmer Paisley after being hit with a pitched ball and not being allow ed to get a base saw red and whacked a triple into the old rink area It was a triple because Pegg made a quick recovery and threw a strike to the plate to halt Paisley at third That hit wound up Mr Cards lease on the rubber Josh Preston came in only to find Paul Mainprize pumping with all his might for a home run Jim after singling was cut down at first on a three star play that went from ORourkc to Doug Eves to How ie Ash This out ended a four run Mount Albert frame Except for a bunt single in the sixth Josh Preston went the rest of the way for Pine Orchard without trouble In the outfield department Kelly Case Elmer

Wednesday Oct for a I lead in games in the Lake league finals Joe Case coach act ing more and more like Yankees Casey Stengel as the years roll by summed up this scrap My boys were really playing ball They gave Craig Case about letter perfect support If they keep on playing ball like this were going to cop the title They did two days later Astern the flar ed up for enough runs three in the fourth to prance off with the decision Two veteran diamond stars about the only two veterans the possess were the kingpins in the get away outburst was Kelly Case doubling Paisley tripling and then Craig Case drilling out a single It was Bill Dikes hit that scor ed Nobby Ash with a Pine Orch ard first frame run charges went for a se cond run in the fifth as Dale in a pinch hitting role sent his big brother across the plate Both teams turned in their share of glittering fielding gems but if one player stow out above the rest it was Doug Eves Sel dom if ever have the fans seen a sharper fielding effort around the shortstop position Craig Case was mighty stingy with the big Pine Orchard hitters Cases effort was a fourhitter Doug Card too was operating in big league style Cards down- fall of course was those extra base drives yielded to Elmer Paisley and Kelly Case Ball fanbookkeeper Art Lord will require more than a new set of books to figure out what hap pened to McNeil Dodgers Be fore
