Prizes for Queen Contest Picked by Jaycees
First Huron Valley Babe Ruth
AH Star Played Here
Miss Babe Ruth
Chosen From
Lincoln High School :
Last Wednesday night all roads,
led to Saline where the first an-
lual Huron Valley Babe Ruth All
Star game attracted well over 500
fans to watch the county's best
young baseballers display their
stuff. The evening's activities included the awarding of the WOL4
team championship trophy and the
awarding of the "Good Sports
award," also donated by the local
radio station.* The "Good Sports
award" was earned by the -championship Willow Run Nationals and
was presented by councilman Milton Hartman. The championship
award was presented by Huron
Valley League President Tom N.
Johnston who is also sports director of the radio station.
Johnston also presented the All
Star certificates and crowned Miss
Pat Squires of Ypsiianti Lincoln
Miss Babe Ruth from among four
competing teenage girls. Miss Paula Stranic was Miss Saline, while
Martha Lee Hoye represented Dexter. Contest judges were Mr. David
Northeok and Mr. Joseph Cham-
berland of Ann Arbor".
The game itself proved to be
an exciting one in which the
Willow Run dominated National
Leaguers topped the American Division All Stars, 8-3, in a regulation seven-inning contest under the
lights. Highlight of the contest "for
the fans and players alike: was a
400-ft. home  run  by lS-year^old
Toby Scott, the league batting
champion from Willow Run. Scott
blasted the hit in the fourth inning with one man on; however,
it had little effect on the game's
outcome as the National Leaguers
were ahead 7-1 at the time.
Jim Creech of Manchester and
Ezell Cole of the Willow Run
Americans also had extra base
hits. Cole, a double with one on,
and Creech a triple with no one
on.
Saline's All Star representatives
all showed up well in the contest.
They were second basemen Mike
Bixby and Roy Wiebush, pitcher
Joe Chandois, third baseman John
Thoss and first baseman Dick
Malenzack who was a unanimous
choice on the All Star team, but
unable to play because of a broken
ankle-
Starting pitcher Jeff Fischer of
Dexter was the winning pitcher
for the National Leaguers, while
Ezell Cole suffered the loss for
the American division.
League President Johnston who
is also the local recreation director, called the entire evening "a
great success." Johnston also commented to the crowd" on the "superior sportsmanship and play of
the teams throughout the season,
and the fine leadership provided
by the coaches of the varied
teams." He also thanked league
members- for his re-election as
league president for another year.
All Star cOaches were Dale Bule-
more of Willow Run, Don Hackney of Dexter, and Bert Sterling of
Manchester for the' National
League. Larry Slepsky of the Willow Run Americans led the American Division arid was assisted by
Saline's Ernie Stemen.

f Beulah Robinson, reporter
The Chamber of Commerce passed a motion to house a sidewalk
sale in Saline, the last two days
of this month, August 30 and 31.
There will be banners in the merchants' windows which will say,
SALINE SIDEWALK SALE.
The merchants, during this period, will transport their merchandise out onto the sidewalk directly
in front of their place of business.
The date was set, considering
that the back to School Days, and
the community fair will keep many
people busy, and they would not
be able to take advantage of this
sale. The two days were picked
in case it should happen to rain,
however the sale will take place
inside the store as well as outside.
So shop in Saline rain or shine
during Saline's sidewalk sale.
