FOURTEEN THE MORNING CALL, ALLENTOWN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1942 fiilemiber alley, mom WMps Ldbat Mm 57 34 Canaries Face Hazleton Here Big League Baseball to Play Two All-Star Games Next Season Polish Off 'Flying Dutchmen1 To Take Over First Place In East Penn Collegiate League Race Second Half Race Bulldogs Win llthStraight Class A League Leaders Score 63-37, Triumph Over Y.M.C.A. i Inside Stuff 1 Trojan-Viking Clash Wednesday Local Rivals Meet in Little Palestra Game Tomorrow Night South Whitehall High, first half champions of the Lehigh-Northampton League, has a hotter rival outside the league than in. And on Wednesday night this Trojan foe, Central Catholic, is booked for a return game with the Trojans at the A.H.S. Little Palestra. This Central Catholic-South Whitehall rivalry has grown in four seasons to the point where it Is now one of the most Important tilts on both schedules, and where it results in all-out efforts on the part of players and fans as if their meeting was for possession, of a diamond mine.

There was a time In the history of this series that the Trojans had the edge. They nicked Central in 1937, 31 to 30 and again in '38. 37-18. Then the Vikings took over with two wins, 34-28 and 59-30. Last year they gained a 41-39 verdict over the South Whitehall lads In an extra period, but In the return game the Trojans made a remarkable comeback and shellacked their rivals, 50 to 38.

In the first meeting this year Central delivered the coat of shellack, 58 to 38. Both coaches feel that the 56-38 score of the first game this season will have no bearing on Wednesday's battle. Coach Bob Wilson and his Trojans are confident of another comeback like last season, and Coach Joe Krasja is well aware of the Trojans ability, particularly against the Vikings. Both records are almost Identical. Central has won 13 and lost one, while South Whitehall won 14 against two defeats.

Both records are marked by big victories gained via high scoring performances. In the second half Muhlenberg really cut loose with a form that has dazzled in every one of its league contests this season, gradually pulling away from the home team and mounting the score as the game progressed. Trlnkle and Crampsey Lead Muhlenberg's Attack Muhlenberg outscored Lebanon Valley in field goals, 21 to 19, and for a change Coach Julian's proteges were unusually good from the charity line, registering IS times on 21 attempts. In contrast, Lebanon Valley was able to count only four times on 13 foul shots. Charlie Trinkle, Muhlenberg forward, and Jim Crampsey, guard, Bhared the scoring honors for their team with 15 and 11 points, respectively.

However, Individual scoring honors for the night went to Lebanon Valley's Ralph Mease, the Individual who led the league In scoring two seasons ago, for he dropped in eight field goals and a foul for 17 points. Tonight's game was the first of three scheduled for Muhlenberg this week. Coach Julian's boys clashing with the Engineers of Lehigh in an independent game at Bethlehem on Wednesday night and then opposing Franklin-Marshall at Allentown Saturday night In a game that will have considerable bearing on the ultimate championship of the league. The lineups: Dick McGee Is South Whitehall's main problem, but Walt Witkowskl, Tom Brennan and all the rest are troublesome characters. The Vikings will also have several potential high scorers to watch, the foremost of which is Mike Gavlick, who has been averaging Just a fraction under 15 points per league game and better considering all games, thers are Dick Clauss, who lately has been hitting the double figure column regularly: Dick Kleintop, Jack Robinson and Roy Wotring, all special scoring stars.

Church League Leaders Clash Won .10 Lost Pet. 1 .909 St. Andrew'a Tonight to Open Field Sports Public Fishing Survey During the past ten months mem bers from the Southeastern Division of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's clubs have been conducting a comprehensive survey among the anglers to determine what recommendations can be made to the State Fish Commission to Improve public fishing in our section of the Commonwealth. The idea, inaugurated by the State Federation, is to make sug gestions to the Fish Commission lor the betterment of public fishing. The conclusions have been complied and are now in the hands of the printers.

Within the next two weeks one thousand copies will be distributed to each of the nine Counties offiliated with the division. Berks, Bucks. Ches ter, Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia and Schuylkill are Included in the roster. Recommendations Ten points are covered by the sports men's suggestion. A summary of the work includes the construction of ar tificial lakes along the numerous warm water streams here in southeast.

This program is to continue until at least mty impoundments nave Deen made for the fishermen. The second points calls for the re construction of the former New Hope canal in Bucks county. Acquisition or trout streams in the Pocono mountains follows next. A greater number of adult fish rather than so many small flngerllngs. Trout should be stocked Immediately prior to the season and regularly during the season Itself In our southeast streams.

Another reauest Is for the State purchase of a much needed fish hatch ery In our territory. For many years the Commissions have promised action but as yet no practical results nave been made. The matter of pollution Is of great concern. While the Fish commission has very limited powers of executing action, the Sportsmen are requesting continued cooperation with existing agencies. Farm reservoirs, public works, and reimbursements from the fish fund to the Game Commissions when lands are purchased which con tain waters for the extension of public fishing, are also suggested.

(JP) The major leagues moved toward the fullest cooperation with the Nation's war effort today by voting to play two All-Star games Instead of one this year and to attempt to turn one tenth of all baseball salaries Into defense bonds. Plans were made for holding the first All-Star game in a National League park In an Eastern city Monday, July 6, and the second game In an American League park In the West on Tuesday, July 7, possibly at night. The same squads will oppose each other In both games. The leagues decided to double the regular season admission prices for the first game, and to use the ordinary scale for the second game, but with the addition of one dollar In defense stamps to. the price of every ticket for the latter contest.

In making the Joint announcement of big league baseball's plans for helping the war effort, Presidents Ford Prick of the National League and William Harrldge of the American League said that sites for the two All-Etar games remained to be selected. But It seemed probable that the first game would be In the Polo Grounds, home of the New York Giants, and that the second game would be either In Cleveland or Chicago, where the lights are available. If the game should be played In Detroit, where last year' contest was held. It would have to be a day game. This year's game originally was scheduled for Brooklyn's Ebbets Field on July 7.

Its transfer to a larger park and the playing of two games Instead of one was first proposed last night at the annual dinner of the New York Baseball Writers by Larry Mac-Phall, president of the Dodgers. He also sponsored the plan for part payment of baseball salaries in defense bonds and stamps. While the two leagues agreed on devoting 10 per cent of earnings to this end, compliance necessarily was placed on a voluntary basis. However, Frlck and Harrldge said they hoped to make this concession unanimous from Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis right down through the role of league presidents, club owners, players and all employee of organized ball.

Another suggestion of MacPhail at the Writers' dinner, that a small part of every admission be used toward buying one or more bombers, failed to capture the support of his fellow magnates and was not discussed in either meeting. The two leagues decided to leave to each Individual club the manner of admitting service men to their ball parks and the scheduling of exhibition games with service teams. Night baseball proved a stumbling block and when the two leagues adjourned tonight after more than seven hours of continuous sessions they still were disagreed as to a uniform program of night games. The National League voted to increase Its limit to 14 home games for any one club and this figure was agreed to by all the American League clubs except the Washington Senators. Clark Griffith, president of the Senators, contended that he has a special problem with hundreds of thousands of day-time workers In the capital and that If two-club cities auch as Philadelphia and St.

Louis could have a total of 28 games divided between the leagues, then he should be able to have 28 for Washington. Don Barnes, president of the be-leagured St. Louis Browns, said he was satisfied with an Increase to 14 night games for his club, but he and his fellow magnates in the" American League agreed to support Griffith In bis plea for local option. This tossed the whole question over to tomorrow's Joint meeting at which Commissioner Landis will preside. In effect this meant that the white-haired crar of the national game would decide how many -night games, and whether a uniform number, should be played.

The American League also considered the financial difficulties of the Browns. No action was announced, but Barnes said that he now could look forward to the season hopefully.

Banner Crowd Expected to See Old Rivals Clash in Little Palestra AllentoWn High Canaries tonight will be given the opportunity for revenge on the Mountaineers of Hazleton High for that 28 to 26 extra-period setback In Philadelphia Friday night. for the two old rivals clash in the Little Palestra here to start off the second half season of the Eastern Pennsylvania League.

Birney Crum Indi cated that he planned, no radical shake-up in his team for tonight's game, but he let it be Known that tha Canaries will do considerably more shooting In tonight's game than they did against Hazleton last Friday. I nearly went nuts on the bencn in that period when we failed to score a point," said Crum yesterday. "The reason we didn't score was because our team was not shooting. I made three substitutions Inside of five minutes, and each time I sent the new player in the game with Instructions to shoot. shoot and shoot.

But there was bo shooting. I'll bet they'll shoot Tuesday night." Yesterday Crum forgot all about the team's passing attack, and concentrated on shooting from all angles of the playing court. Tonight's game marks the start of the second half season, and the team winning tonight's game Is conceded to have a good chance of winning th second half title. That's why both, teams will be out for blood. Two other league games are booked for tonight, Bethlehem playing Eas-ton's Red Rovers at Bethlehem and Pottsville and Tamaqua clashing at Pottsville.
