FIRST TRIPLE PLAY
   The first triple kil-
ling of the season was seen-
Tuesday evening, when the
Skibos met the Mercuries
in an A league fracas.
   With a man on first and
second and no outs, Merc
George Matsuda lined a hot
one to pitcher Ted Abe for
the first out.   Ted then
picked off the man at first,
and Shiro Kawamura, first
sacker, in turn picked off
the man on second who had
started for third.  The
drive appeared to be a  sure
hit but Abe handled it
beautifully.   It cut short
a Mercury rally in the sec-
ond.   The Mercs, however,
won the game 5-2.

PLAY PROWERS COUNTY
ALL-STARS TOMORROW
   The Amache All-Stars, a
team composed of members
of the Motor Pool, Deltan,
and Duster teams, will
trek to Bristol to meet the
Prowers county All-Stars
at 2: 30p.m., in their first
outside game of the season.
   Players of the Knines and
Dodger teams will not make
the trip as they will meet,
here  on the local diamond
at 2 p.m.
   Nothing definite is known
of the opponents' power
but it is reported that
they have a former San Di-
ego Padre (Pacific Coast
league) chucker,and sever-
al former college stars on
the squad.
   The local aggregation
will depend largely on the
Motor Pool to keep them in
the game, with the Dusters
and Deltans bolstering the
weak spots.    The latter
two teams are scheduled for
a game tomorrow morning on
the local field while the
Motormen bye.
   Probable starting bat-
tery for the locals will be
the Motor Pool boys with
Joe Nakamura or Jack Otani
on the hill and Harry Okada
or Tad Ono, donning the mask.
Deltan-Duster  Contest;
Knine-Dodger  Game  Slated
   The first-half champs,
the Deltans, will tangle
with the unpredictable
Dusters at the 10F field
tomorrow morning at 9 o'-
clock in an AA league af-
fair.
   The Deltans drew a bye
last week and will be play-
ing their second game of
the second half.   They lost
the-opener to the Motor Pool
by a 10-6 count.   The Dust-
ers copped their first
tilt against the Knines,
10-7, but lost  last week
to the re-vamped Dodgers,
7-5.
   Tomorrow's tilt should
be a thriller if it dupli-
cates the first meeting of
the two teams, when the
Deltans won a close one,
4-3.   The Delta boys will
be favored but the Dusters
gang will bear watching,
especially with Hobi Fuji-
u’s return to the inner
garden.
   Probable starting bat-
teries : Deltans--Lefty Ni-
shijima and Tom Ioka; Dust-
ers--John Niizawa or Bob
Umekubo and Chick Kunisaki.
   At 2p,m., the hard-luck
Knines will meet the dark-
horse Dodgers outfit in
another AA tilt.
   The Knines,though seem-
ingly forsaken by Lady
Luck, will still be tabbed
to cop the fray, but may
find it not so easy to re-
peat their first win over
the Dodgers, when they
slaughtered Mas Hoshino's
boys, 9-1.  The Dodger s
squad will be augmented by
the addition of two stel-
lar newcomers, Edwin and
Henry Hashioka, which should
make up for the departure
of  infielder Frank Shoji.
   Probable starting bat-
teries: Knines--Yuk Miya-
moto and Joe Harada or Shi-
ro Nomura; Dodgers--John
Arishita and Nob  Kuwatani.
