WHO LET THE HORSES OUT?
East Farewell- It was an unusual scene on Main Street and
Lakeshore Drive on Tuesday. A herd of horses alternately walked, pranced
and maybe cantered down the roads as if they belonged there. They stopped traffic, they stopped the
trollies and they stopped everyone on the sidewalks. About twenty horses of
different size came down Main Street and as if in a parade turned onto
Lakeshore Drive and headed to the Lakefront Plaza. Luckily, local residents
Fern and Annie Doyle were walking down Main Street at the time. They own one of
the three horse ranches that are located around the lake. Fern was able to get
the horses into a group and then hop on one and Annie was able to lead the
others onto Lakefront Plaza and get them into a fairly calm group. Fern circled
around the herd and kept them calm and kind of corralled. After many inquiries
it was discovered that the horses belonged to the Swinging Gate Ranch, about a
mile outside of town. The owners, Bob and Diane Taylor were contacted and they
were unaware of their horse breakout. They immediately came down to the Plaza on
two other horses and identified the errant horses. Once all the horses were
identified and the police certified that the Taylor’s were indeed the owners
the herd was “driven” back up Lakeshore Drive and out Main Street led by a
police car with lights on followed the Taylors with help from the Doyle’s. It was
quite the spectacle, almost a parade, a police car, 15 horses, four riders and
a barking dog, Baxter, followed by a police car with lights ablaze made their
way up Main Street and out of town. When the whole group got back to the
Swinging Gate the horses were put back in their stable.
The Taylor’s
were asked if they knew how the horses got out and they said they didn’t have a
clue but they were embarrassed to say the least. “We may have to think about
changing the name of the ranch, now,” said a visibly chagrined Bob Taylor.
The police also
said that the cost of cleanup for the herd would be sent to the Taylors once it
has been tabulated.

SPORTS
TRAVELERS MAKE IT TWO IN A ROW
Cedar Creek- The Travelers started a new winning streak with a
solid win over the Cedar Creek Bulls, 5-1. This game could have been played in
one inning, the sixth. That was the only inning either team scored. The
Travelers went hitless until the fourth and the Bulls drew blanks until the
fifth. In the sixth the Travelers started off with a sharp single up the middle
by Joey Brown. Then Archibald’s sacrifice bunt moved Brown to second. Billy
Sweet came up and drove a fast ball off the wall, scoring Brown and ending up
at second, standing. Pitcher, Billy Green, was able to lay down a near perfect
bunt that Bull’s third baseman, Victor Helms, could not make to grab after
slipping on his takeoff. Francis came up and hit a clean single up the middle
moving Green to second and Sweet over to third. The bases were loaded and
Dunham came to the plate. Helms took him to a 3-2 count and then Dunham reached
out for an out of the strike zone curve and miraculously hit a golf shot to
right. That scored Sweet, Green and Francis and he ended up on second. Bobby
Watson then hit a shot right at first baseman, Chris Arnold who was knocked
over but managed to corral the ball and tag first, but Dunham went to third. Johnny
Cloos was not going to left out of this hit fest and he singled to right
scoring Dunham. Tony Dimero ended all the fun by striking out.
The Bulls came
up in the bottom of the sixth and Billy Green, who had done a fine job up till
then walked Arnold right off. Then he hit Smith. Helms came up and Green struck
him out. Leadoff batter, Gene Richards, was able to lay down a sacrifice bunt
and move Arnold over to third. Bull’s top slugger came to the plate, Frankie
Douglas, Traveler’s manager, Sam Fowler, didn’t take any chances and had Green
walk him. Men on first and third, Danny Dunphy came to bat. Green threw two
straight strikes and then two balls. Green loaded up and threw a fastball that
Dunphy was able send a blooper over Archibald’s head and score Arnold. Green
was able to regroup and force Bradford to hit into a double play ending the
inning.
That was all
the excitement there was in the game. For the rest of the game the Travelers
had three more hits no runs and no errors. The Bulls had four more hits, no
runs and no errors. The ninth inning was a three up, three down for both sides.
It wasn’t a pretty win but it kept the Travelers on the win side and on their
way out of the cellar. They come home next week to face the Youngstown
Steelers. The game is an evening game and starts at 7:00 at Travelers Park.
