AMACHE  DUMPS  PROWERS
FORMER    COAST   LEAGUE   PITCHER
BLASTED   AS    LOCALS    WIN.    I5 - 3
   The Amache All-Stars
ran all over the uncondi-
tioned Prowers county All-
Stars,  15-3,  at Bristol 
Sunday in the locals’ first
outside game of the season.
   The County All-Stars,
playing their first game
of the season, weren't up
to par as Harold Rice, for-
mer San Diego Pardre and
Greeley State Teacher s '
College chucker was knocked
off the mound.   The local
boys hit him hard, amassing
a total of six runs and six
hits in the first three
innings he worked on the
hill.
   The Amacheites, led by
George Kawamura’s homer with
a mate on in the fifth, and
Lefty Nishijima's triple
with two men on in the
seventh, scored in every in-
ning except the first and
the sixth as they complete-
ly, and soundly  trounced
their opponents in an ab-
breviated 7-inning contest.
   Joe Nakamura hurled the
first three innings and al-
lowed four hits and two
runs, and Jack Otani worked
the next two innings, allow-
ing three hits and a run.
The most effective chucker
was Grove Yoshiwara who
gave up but one hit and no
runs in the last two in-
nings. The locals used 26
men in the contest.

MERCS HANDED 1st
LOSS BY RAMBLERS
   The confident Mercuries
were toppled from their A
league leadership Saturday
afternoon when the Ramblers
upset them 8-6, with a 10-
hit bombardment which in-
cluded a pair of doubles
and triples.

Motor Pool on top as un-
disputed leaders of the A
league with three straight
victories.

ALL-TIME HIGH
KNINES BLITZ
DODGERS, 28-8
   Amassing a total of 28
runs on 23 hits, the slug-
ging Kniners blitzkrieged
the doddling Dodgers, 28-8,
in the worst slaughter of
the AA league Sunday at the
10F diamond.   The runs
scored by the Knines set an
all-time high for the local
field.
   Going into high gear in
the initial canto, the vic-
tors chalked up five, and
boosted it to seven before
the Dodgers finally came to
life and shot across three
runs in the fourth.
   The leaders, in their
half of the fourth, rolled
up four more and tallied
another in the fifth.   Not
satisfied with this much,
they pounded the fat offer-
ings of tiring Johnny Ari-
shita for another eight
digits in the seventh.  To-
raizo Jow highlighted the
massacre by going to the
plate twice and connecting
for a triple and a homer.
  Joe Harada, Knine back-
stop, touched off the fire-
works in the following in-
ning by clouting a four-
bagger,, and his mate added
eight more to their bulging
total, Joe Shiro replaced
Arishita in this inning.
   The Dodgers managed to
score eight runs but they
didn't have a chance, Yuk
Miyamoto hurled steady ball
and kept their 10 hits well
scattered.
   Leading the Knines' at-
tack was Harada and Jow with
four hits each.   For the
Dodgers, Nob Kuwatani had
a perfect day, with three
for three, including a
triple.
   Score by innings:
Dod	 000 310 131 - 9  10 7
K9           520 410 88x - 28 23 2
   BATTS: Dodgers-J. Ari--
shita, J. Shiro and N. Ku-
watani; Knines-Y. Miyamo-
to and J. Harada.
DELTANS  HIT  WINNING
STRIDE,   BEAT  DUSTERS
   The Deltans hit their
winning stride Sunday as
they knocked over the list-
less Dusters, 14-5, for
their first AA win in the
2nd half.
   The contest started out
to be a duplicate of their
first meeting as Duster
John Niizawa and Deltan Tim
Sasabuchi hooked up in a
mound duel for four innings .
   The Deltans drew first
blood in the third when
Shiro Kawemura scored, and
added two more in the fifth
on successive homers by
Tom Ioka and George Watana-
be.
   Their opponents got one
back when a couple of hits
and an error chalked up a
tally.
   Bob Umekubo replaced Ni-
izawa in the sixth and
showed good form for the
remainder of that inning
but in the seventh, he ran
into immediate trouble as
the Deltans blasted his
southpaw pitches for seven
runs. They continued their
barrage in the next stanza
by crossing the plate four
more times on five bingles
to put the game on ice.
Niizawa was called back to
the mound.
  Sasabuchi was relieved
by Lefty Nishijima in the
fourth and the latter gave
up only one run and four
hits in the five innings
he  pitched.
   Deltan Yorio Aoki was
the hitting star of the day
with three hits, including
a triple.
   Score by innings:
Del'   001 020 740 - 14 14 3
Dus ' 000 110 010 -    3  5 4
   BATTS: Deltans- T. Sa-
sabuchi, L. Nishijima and
T. Ioka; Dusters-J, Nii-
zawa, B. Umekub o and C. Ku -
