J. J. TWO THE EVENING TIMES, SAYRE, SATURDAY, MAY, 7, 1938 Faculty Scores One Run Against Waverly Varsity But the High School Team Scores 10, Nosing Them Out; McClelland Circles Bases Amid Wild Cheers WAVERLY May 7-The ly high school varsity basebail team gave its betters a lesson in diamond deportment yesterday afternoon on Lincoln street athletic field, defeating the faculty 10-1 in five innings. The lone faculty tally came in the final inning when Don W. McClelland, third baseman and erstwhile superintendent of schools, blasted a single into center field, stole second on the first pitch and streaked home as the second baseman and centerfielder juggled the ball.

The crowd cheered wildly. Bob "Dizzy" Dean did the hurling chores for the faculty, and pitched a good game. His support was generous but erratic. In addition he got the only other hit allotted his team by Derrig and Bodine, the varsity moundsmen. He was out stealing home.

The high school boys made runs in every inning except the fourth. Once they made five. It was difficult to get them out. But the instructors showed great patience, and eventually were rewarded. The fielding gems of the afternoon were long flies caught by Burke and Rice.

The crowd, gleeful but incredulous, didn't think they could do it. The first inning for the varsity opened impressively with three triples, although Dean struck out Wood to vary the monotony. These hits really weren't triples, but the outfield was having a bit of trouble adjusting itself to the terrain. Then Kline singled--the outfield was tightening up driving Allen across with the third run. After a brief interim while the faculty was going out in order, three more singles resulted in two runs for the Red and White.

In the fourth the varsity batted around, and with four hits scored five runs. It was then that McClelland made history with his fancy baserunning. Batting honors went to Stanton who the got three hits in three trips to plate, one of them a triple. He also managed the team in the absence of Coach Fred Weaver, who was somewhere out around second base with the faculty.

I KENNEDY GROUP VISITS SAYRE TO PROMOTE TICKET Donald Briggs, of Warren, Attacks Administration Slate in Speech Donald Briggs of Warren, urged Sayre Democrats to support Thomas Kennedy for governor in the coming primary election rather than Charles Alvin Jones, the Earle picked candidate, at a political rally in Desmond street park last evening. The appearance of Mr. Briggs in Sayre was made possible through the efforts of the Bradford County Campaign Committee for Kennedy of Towanda. James McGee of Towanda is the chairman.

A delegation of Kennedy supporters from the county seat, arrived in Sayre by motorcade about 7:00 o'clock Jast evening take part in the open air meeting, climaxed by the speech of Mr. Briggs. The meeting started at 8 o'clock. Kennedy supporters of Sayre who were of the impression that the candidate himself was to speak, turned out in large numbers to meet the motor caravan. Before his speech, Mr.

Briggs announced that Dr. W. R. Campbell of East Smithfield, who, according to Mr. Briggs, has endorsed the candidacy of Mr.

Kennedy intended to accompany the motorcade to Sayre, but was unable to attend because of illness. Launching his attack against Jones, the present state administration candidate, Mr. Briggs said in part: "Our ticket represents the voting strength of the state, and a state pay rall. Boss contractors will not win with us, nor will state employers, who have negllected the working people of the nor will those state officials who have betrayed the trust of the people who won with in 1934. "Jones was picked by Mat McCloskey, the boss contractor.

Kennedy is running on his record of four years as lieutenant governor of the state. During his term, he has fought for unemployment compensation, child labor, and for all the important legislation under the present national administration. He fought for Roosevelt for president at the national convention in Chicago. Jones was in Chicago, but he fought against the nomination of the president. At no time, did he ever make a speech for Mr.

Roosevelt. He is the same 'milk toast Jones' that he always was. "The present campaign is the cross roads of the Democratic party. You have had a true Democratic governor due you for the past fifty years and now is your chance to elect one. Cast your vote for Thomas Kennedy, a man free from boss control, rather than for Charles Alvin Jones, a paid puppet of the Earle forces." Mr.

Briggs came to Sayre last night from Susquehanna county where he has been campaigning for the Kennedy ticket. The ticket is as follows: Governor, Thomas Kennedy; lieutenant governor, Ralph H. Smith; United States senator, S. Davis Wilson; secretary of internal affairs, Mrs. Edith B.

"Morednism is one of his inshruments to this end. One of his subtlest stratagems is to have men who secretly deny the Word of God veneer their unbelief with a conservative terminology. By a gradual process the faith of men and women is broken down. "Another of his methods is that of closing country after country to the preaching of the Gospel. Ethiopia before the war was a fertile field for Christian missions, but since it's conquest by Italy, freedom of religious effort is denied.

"Germany and Russia have both closed their doors to the proclamation of the simple message of the cross, and men who proclaim it are either put into concentration camps or are put to death "A great Christian movement in China has been brought to a standstill, and should Japan, win, Christian missions will the loser. Today Christian people should appreciate their opportunities of hearing the Word of God, and should give adequate support to every effort made in proclaiming it."

PROMPT ACTION ON CROSSING ORDER PLEASES PUBLIC Within one hour of the time Lehigh Valley railroad officials here were notified yesterday afternoon to remove the obstruction which closed the Morley crossing detour, workmen had the barrier taken down, and highway traffic was resumed. The crossing was closed two days following an order which resulted from a misunderstanding as to the amount of time a liability insurance premium of $1,700 covered. The state highway department had agreed to pay for liability insurance on the crossing but the bill of $1,700 was rejected as too high. Later it was brought to attention of the officials of the department that the premium was for one year, and that the unused portion would automatically be refunded when the detour is no longer needed.

Valley residents and those in the rural communities expressed appreciation at prompt action on the part of the local officials and workmen in carrying out the order to open the crossing.

C. Slater, president of Townsend club, No. 1, Elmira, was the speaker at the meeting of the Sayre Townsend club held last evening in Carl's hall.

Mr. Slater said in part: "Early in the history of the Townsend movement, Wall street saw in it system by which they would be obliged to account for all transactions by paying a transaction tax. This caused to be set in motion propaganda which so poisoned public opinion that personal contact and verbal explanation is required to bring people to see that the General Welfare Act (H 4199) is the only plan for permanant recovery before the people of the United States, and also to prove to the mind of those who think, that it is sound." Mr. Slater congratulated Sayre on the fact that so many young people are evincing an interest in the Townsend Plan as was shown by the number of them in the audience. A radiogram recently received by Delegate Samuel W.

King who represents the Hawaiian government in Congress from Governor Poindexter of Hawaii shows that a transaction tax is economically sound. A few brief statements from the Governor's report: "It has not increased the price of goods." "It has gained the good will of tax payers." "It has turned a sizeable opposition (before enactment) into boosters with the realization that the law is being a administered; and it is expected that t1 the system, adopted as an emergency measure, will become a permanent law." ROTARY TO HEAR SAFETY LECTURE An illustra ad lecture on "Safety" will be a feature at the weekly luncheon of the Sayre Rotary Club in the Waltmore Inn, Tuesday, May 10, at 12:10 p.m. Everett Moses, past president of the Sayre club, will have charge of the program.
