Homer Power Sends Potter-McKean Into Semi-Finals Friday Bert Tucker Wallops Round-Tripper In First With Three On -Marzo, Howell Also Connect -Campbell Hurls Eight Hitter.
Hard-hitting Potter-McKean little leaguers trounced Williamsport, 9-2, last night in the opener of the four-day State tournament at the original Little League Field in Williamsport. An estimated 500 Coudersport persons witnessed the contest. Potter-McKean, representing District 3, now moves into the semifinals scheduled for tomorrow. They will meet the winner of this afternoon's Hazleton-Monongahela game. A crowd estimated at 4,000 braved heavily-laden skies to watch the inaugural of the fifth annual tourney, saw three tremendous home run drives tell the story last night. These drives accounted for all but one of Potter-McKean's runs with Bert Tucker's first-inning grand-slammed breaking the backs of Williamsport. The dramatic blow came off the' slants of starter and loser Paul Tilburg.
-- Two in Fourth --
Then in the fourth, the visitors from out Coudersport way, sewed up the game with five big runs. I Joe Marzo started things off with a solo blast off the offerings of reliefer Jimmy Finn, and before Hal Spooner could come in to put out the fire, Fred Howell connected for a three-run wallop over the right field barrier. Meanwhile, Van Campbell, who mixed a blazing fast ball with some slow stuff kept Williamsport away from the plate during the first five frames although it put men on in every inning. Williamsport stranded eight for the night, four in the first two frames as Campbell was tough in the clutches. He fanned six and walked only two. With two out in the last frame, Campbell lost his shutout when Finn, who moved to third base after being relieved, singled home Jack Snider and Jon Martin. Martin, pinch-swinging for Rod Eddinger, set the stage by following Snider's single with another one-base knock. This marked the second time in the five tournaments, sponsored by the Grit Publishing Company, that the Originals, representing Williamsport, failed to achieve their ambition of moving into the World Series and the coveted prize as king of the Little Leaguers.

The Potter-McKean League All Stars gained a 6-0 edge over South Columbia County Ail Stars for the District 3 title as "Red" Howell hulled a three-hitter before 1,800 Friday night at Metzger Athletic Field here. How3ll fanned eight, walked one and faced only 21 batters insix innings. Potter-McKean scored four runs in the second, one in the fifth and one in the sixth on eight hits. Facing Howell, erstwhile shortshop and by all odds on of the smoothest working Little Leaguers in the four-team Potter-McKean circuit, was Carl Derr. Derr started in great shape, fanning Faris and getting Howell via a fly ball to right field.

Managers of Potter-McKean League Little Leaguers are (left to right)
Joseph Wolcott, Eldred;
Gerald Carley, Roulette;
Burton R. "Buzz" Shirey, Coudersport, and
Cecil Gamble, Port Allegany.
Shirey, high school basketball coach and assistant football mentor, also is manager of the All Star nine.
The Potter-McKean League All Stars shut-out defeat of the South Columbia County All Stars here Friday night was heard over Station WLTR, of Bloomsburg. The announcer (foreground) is James L. "Jim" Stack. Boughter, South Columbia catcher, dropped Derr's first pitch to Shields. On the next pitch, Shields was thrown out at first on a roller to Stout. Howell got into a real jam in the first. Lupini popped to Tucker, who dropped the ball. Howell's control temporarily deserted him and he walked Whitenight. Kischbauch forced Whitenight at second and Derr struck out. Howell got Breech on an infield out. Marzo, the first man to face Derr in the second, was safe at first on Lupini's error. Tucker grounded to Stout forcing Marzo at second. Tucker went down on the first pitch, going to third on Gamble's single to right. Attempting to score, Tucker was trapped between third and home. He made it back and held, scoring a moment later on parsed ball at the plate. Depp singled, cccring Gamble. Cornelius fanned. Faris singled, advancing Depp. Howell lined to center, a sinking drive that went for a double. Depp and Faris tallied. Campbell slashed a bouncer to Lupini, who threw him out. Howell opened the fifth with a single between short and third. Campbell drove Derr's second pitch into deep right center good for two bases but he was thrown out at third attempting to stretch it. Meanwhile, Howell scored, making the score 5-0. Marzo fanned and Tucker bounced to Lupini, ending the inning. With but one out in the sixth, Depp singled, was awarded ah extra base on a misplay at first, and scored on Baylor's error at third. Faris fanned and Howell grounded out. A pulled ligament in his leg forced the retirement of Umpire Frank Golden, of Coudersport, in the bottom of the first inning. L. L. Smith, principal of the Roulette school, tcok over and turned in a McGowan-like performance at the plate and at first. Faust, of Bloomsburg, was the other arbiter. The customers always write! The Enterprise has received more than a score of letters and cards, mostly the latter, from indignant Roulette citizens protesting the billing last week of the Little Leaguers as "Coudersport All Stars." They pointed out, in effect, that a couple of boys from Roulette had something to do with the All Stars victory over Canton and that Port Allegany and Eldred boys also were in the line-up. "Whaddaya mean, COUDERSPORT All Stars?" Our humblest apology we meant no harm, honest we didn't! (Aside to Mr. Carley : Have, we expiated our sins?)
A bouquet to members of Coudersport Exchange for their help in readying the field, collecting the dough, etc. The Exchange Club sponsored the Coudersport Little League team. Gerald Carley, of Roulette, acknowledgedly the prime mover of the program in this area, last week lauded the service club for "taking hold." (Don't misunderstand we're not afraid of Carley, despite his sharply worded "letter to the editor." Just credit where credit is due Ed.) Funeral Directors Meet At Schutt Home A meeting of the Tioga-f'otter Funeral Directors' Association was held Tuesday evening at the home of Howard N. Schutt. Dinner at the Cox Tea Room preceded the meeting. After a business session, Mrs. Mary Welfling talked on the subject of funerals of Potter County notables of by-gone days. Funeral directors attending the meeting were: Mark White, Galeton; William Tuffey, Wellsboro; Luke McCabe and Louis Auld, Blossburg; Bert Simmons, Westfield; Arthur Kear and Lloyd Kear, Ulysses; Charles Kenyon, Elkland; George H. Grabe and Mr. Schutt of Coudersport. Arthur Korbe, of Buffalo, a guest of Mr. Grabe, also attended. Winning Number in Goose Contest is 20,201 Winners of the Coudersport merchants' goose contest will be announced shortly. The task of checking tickets is about one-third finished, it was announced this morning. Just in case you're interested in your chances, the correct number is 20 201. Slips submitted by merchants who fed the goose were tabulated this week by the Enterprise. Thus far, several have been close but none has guessed correctly, according to reports.
-- Married On Aug. 1 In Rockville, Md. --
The marriage of Mrs. Beatrice Brown Daniels and Grayle Kibbe, both of Roulette, took place on Aug. 1 in Rockville, Md. The Rockville Methodist clergyman officiated. The newlyweds occupy the L. H. Barr apartment, Roulette.
