New High Set For Women
The bowling league continued its
competition among the participants.
During the past week, several
matches have been held, but only
three scores will be given. As they
go into the averages for nine game
matches, for young keglers they are
•good.
Among the ladies, Mrs. L. E.
Gentry’s 202 for non-competitive
bowling still leads. This has been the
highest, score for the past three
weeks. Betty Hammond is second
with 169. Rcse Allen follows closely
with 167 and Doris Peterman is in
the fourth place with 164.
Wayne Peterman leads the male
division with 196. This score was
bested by Maj. Roy Brown of the
Station Hospital who rolled 212, but
he is not a member of the Old Post
Bowling league. So Wayne’s score
technically leads the non-competi
tive bowling. Herbert Allen hit a
high last week when he rolled 186 to
take the second place in the race.
Henry Ohlmeier whose 185 was good
for the second place last week and
still keeps him in the third,position.
Jerry Sccoler, manager of the Old
..Post Bus terminal, came into the
running with 182 which moved Fred
Polk to fifth place. Polk’s highest
score is 178.
Last week, the fans saw one of
the fastest and test bowled games

• WARMING
THE BfNCH
By Sgt. Frank Deblois (CNS)
Two of the world’s best athletes
and finest sportsmen died recently.
One of them, T Sgt. Torger Tokle.
America’s greatest ski jumper was
killed leading his platoon during an
attack by the 10th Mountain Divi
sion across the Appenines. The other,
Steve Donoghue, Britain's greatest
jockey, died in London after a V-2
attack.at the age of 60.
Tokle, Norwegian-born idol of the
ski trails, was a great performer to
the end. When the end came he was
leading his platoon of mountain
troops to an Appenine peak in one
ever played by women on the Old
Post. Teams A and B, captained,
by Rose Allen and Betty Ham
mond, respectively, played a game l
series that ended with a 47 pin
difference. Team A had a total of
1746 pins against 1793 for Team B.
Scores on both teams ran high and
the kegling was keen. For the
three games bowled 290 was the
lowest total score.
Team A: Rose Aliens captain,
114; Oma McClure, 96; Vesta Al
len, 112; Doris Peterman, 125;
Thelma Heaney, 133. Team B:
Betty Hammond, captain, 115; Ada
Jones, 120; Bernice Mosbv, 121;
L. E. Gentry, 111; Hattie Rhett,
128.

of the mcst daring assaults ever at
tempted in war. The objective was
won and Torger was fighting off a
counter attack when he was cut
down by shell fragments. He died in
the snow covered mountains, the i
kind of country he loved.
Donoghue, the most durable jcckey
who ever lived, won 1840 races in 40
years. Best known in the U. S. for
riding Papyrus to defeat behind Zev
at Belmont Park in 1923, he was the
biggest money winner in the history
of the British turf. His death, like
so many others in Britain, was in
directly caused by the war. Five
years of living the grim, hard life
the war brought to London finally
killed him. His death, like Torger
Tokle’s, was a period at the end of
the story of a champion.

Moore's Homer Decides
Game In The Last Frame
A capacity crowd filled the stands of Brock Field, Sunday
afternoon to witness the season’s opening baseball game be
tween Section *‘C” of Davis-Monthan Army Air Field Mus
tangs and the SCU 1922 Mules. Interest in the game was high
from the opening pitch until Moore’s ninth inning homer ended
the clash.
Several times during the game, the fans thought it would
be anybody’s game and as it closed, it was almost certain that
| the Mustangs would leave
| victors. Fans had begun to
i leave the stadium when Moore
I caught Willis’ “Sunday pitch”
and rode it for the game win
| ning tally.
Having faced Willis of Davis
■ Mcnthan four times without being
j able to hit, Moore tagged his third'
pitch of the final frame into deep
centerfield for a homer and the
winning run of the SCU 1922-Davis
i Monthan game. In the ninth inning,
j SCU was trailing by a score of 6-4.
j Scales, the first man up in the frame, t ■
[ reached first on a walk. Apodaca was j
walked Mso. Moore’s four bagger '
; scored both runners to tie the score ,
! and also scored the winning run. ; j
This was the opening game of the
■j season for the SCU 1922 Mules and i!
was played on the heme grounds.
Section “C” of Davis-Monthan, the
opponent, played a gbod game but
Moore’s homer was too much for! i
them. i
The first ball of the season was 1
j thrown by Lt. Col. Roscce L. Lamb, 1
Post Executive Officer, and Major 1
Henry R. Hansen, Post Adjutant, was p
: the receiver. Col. Lamb’s pitch was : !
I wild. | *
The Mules drew first blood in their '
half of the second. Gray the leadoff (.j
man in that frame was hit by the
pitcher. Foster was a strikeout vie
tim. Leonard singled advancing Gray !
to third, who scored on Willis’ wild j,
pitch. j (
Again in the third, the v Mules j
scored when Martin reached ’first on ,
Allen’s error. Turner sacrificed l
Martin to second. Gray hit a boom- .
ing triple to right field and scored .
on the overthrew to the catcher. i
j Leonard opened the Huachucans’ 1 ]
i half of the fourth with a clean single j <
to left field. Mouton filed out to i ]
short. A base on balls to Apodaca I ]
moved Leonard to the keystone bag. L
Leonard was in the midst of stealing . ’
as a wild pitch by Willis permitted 1
him to score from second. i.
In the first half of the fifth, Willis ]
singled, stole second and was scored 1
by Craig’s single to right.
The seventh was a good inning for
the air basers. Kendricks, the leadoff j
man in that frame, singled. Jones .
received a pass, advancing Kend- ]
ricks. Patton struck out and Willis ]
received a base on balls. A long drive ’
to deep centerfield, scored Kendricks :
and Jones. i
In their half of the eighth,.Section (
“C” took the lead when hits by Hop- !
kins, Wheeler, Butler and Patton :
were good for three tallies. Hopkins :
hit a three bagger to deep left
center. Butler’s single scored him.
Allen sacrificed Butler to second
who scored on Wheeler’s drive be
tween first and second bases. Jones
walked and was driven acrcss the
plate by Patton’s single.
Mouton, the starting pitcher al
lowed Davis-Monthan hits in
five innings, struckout five and gave*
up one base on balls. F. A. Jones in
two innings was touched for one hit,
had to his credit two strikeouts and
one pass. Scales, the winning pitcher,

Formation of four military ath

Army Service Forces’ off-duty ath
letic and recreation program in each

at Fort Douelas. Utah.
Purpose of the newly created or

tral, Southern and Eastern is three
fold.
The initial aim is to cut to a mini
mum the necessity of team travel
during district competition; sec
ondly, streamline elimination play
at levels prior to final command
tournament competition; and last,
an intensified campaign to further
stimulate interest in the A & R pro
gram among servicemen.
Although leagues were created in
three cf the security districts, war

hibited establishment of playing cir

teams representing installations
within the area will continue to con
