The businesses in town voiced similar resolve. “We plan to put a new roof on starting next
week, once we clean up the water damage inside.
We already have a tarp over it so not as to get any more water on the
inside,” said Charles Wenz, owner of the Lost Oasis Bar

TRAVELER WIN - CLOOS DELIVERS OFF THE FIELD
East Farewell- Johnny Cloos, injured star
outfielder for the East Farewell Travelers delivered a stirring pep talk to the
team as they prepared for a critical game against Corning last week. Even thought his injury will keep him out for
the rest of the season he was able to rally the team with a five minute
galvanizing speech the contents of which
remain in the locker room and confidential to the team. Nevertheless, speaking with team members
after the game there is no doubt that the talk had a very positive effect on
the team. The Travelers went out to
close down Cedar Creek in both games.
Joe Nagy
pitched another gem in the first, retiring 12 straight from the fourth to the
eighth and allowing only five hits and two runs. The final score was Travelers 8, Cedar Creek
2. The scoring came from the usual
suspects; Bobby Watson doubled in the third, Big Bob Tilman who replaced Johnny
Cloos in center, drove him home with a single, Tony Dimero and Joey Brown both
singled and Billy Sweet brought them all home with his second grand slam of the
year.
In the eighth Francis singled and Dunham
advanced him on a sacrifice. Watson
tripled this at bat, driving in Francis and once again Big Bob Tilman came through
with a double. To finish off the scoring, Tony Dimero hit his 24th
home run, bringing in Tilman.
It was feared the Cedar Creek winning streak and the poor performance by
the Travelers last week would make this a closer series. That was not o be as Danny Lane came on in
the second game and made short work of the Cedar Creek nine. He pitched a superb game allowing only 8 hits
scattered through nine innings. Cedar
Creek was unable to capitalize on any of the hits as they left 13 runners on
base, never scoring. The Travelers won
the second game 3-0. Scoring was led by
Joey Brown and Artie Archibald each hitting homeruns in the second and eighth.
The Travelers will face Corning next week for what is presumed to be the
title matchup. Statistically the
Travelers only need one win to clinch the title but
