The 17-year^)ld junior at Holy Spirit High School will compete next in the Middle States Championship to be held in Harrisburg. Pa. Oh June 11. IN BASEBALL playoff action, local teams fell upon hard times last week After winning early round games, both Wildwood and Lower Cape May were eliminated from South Jersey competition Wildwood’s Bill Osborn slammed a two-run homer as the Warriors slipped past Maple Shade before losing to Burlington Township 10-1. in second round action. Lower Cape May's Bob Chadwick fanned 12 batters as the Capers beat Haddon Township, but later ran up gainst one of the best pitchers in South Jersey. Delran's Don Enoch Enoch struck out 14 Caper hitters while twirling a 5-2 no-hit victory Chadwick did pitch well in a losing cause, striking out 13. The defense let down against Delran as I>ower committed six miscues. 1 Elsewhere, Delsea knocked Middle Township out of the Group II bracket of the playoffs, 11 to 1, and Ocean City took care of the number one seeded team. Toms River, 5-4. OCEAN CITY'S undefeated and top seeded girl's softball team moved on to the semi-final round with a 5 to 4 win over Eastern. Sondra Reeves ran her record to 18-0. while striking out seven. TRIVIA TIME: Who was the only major league pitcher to pitch in an all-star game and not record an out? Answer later. MIDDLE TOWNSHIP High can be proud of trackster Tim Saddler The sprinter won the Group II 100 and 200 meter dashes to lead area qualifiers for state competition. Also qualifying for two events was Eric Fenwick of Lower Cape May (high and long jumps). Jonathan Dice captured the discus as he and fellow Ocean City teammate Mike Stockley (shot put) will compete in states representing Group III. Long Distance specialist Joey Hall will represent Wildwood High, running in the 3200 meter race. Tigers Take Championship ERMA — For the second year in a row, the Tigers basebll team from Richard M. Teitelman School has captured the Cape-Atlantic league championship After 13 season games with area junior highs, the Tigers stalked the Egg Harbor Eagles to a 4-2 victory.

BILL CLEMENT cap^ tured the Cape Atlantic League individual golf championshp at the B. L. England course last week The Ix)wer Cape May standout fired a 5 over par 73. Finishing second was Hwnrey Weigel of O.C. after a tiebreaker with last year’s champ Troy Van Meter of Sacred Heart.

George Harry and Frank Brady lead the way for Cape May with four hits each.

MARKERS: Time for some fun The Philadelphia Phillies continue to slide in the Na tional League East and you know there are problems. Steve Carlton losing three straight. Just to show how bad things are going. Lefty gave up just one run against Ix>s Angeles, but the Phils could only muster one hit and lost 1-0 Anyone truly get excited watching the Indy 500’’ The Pennsylvania was a complete waste of time with Desputed Testimony scratched and the favorite finishing sixth. TRIVIA ANSWER: Fritz Peterson, in the ninth inn ing of the 1970 classic. Peterson gave up a single

to Willie McCovey and was replaced by Mel Stottlemyre. REMARKS: The Sixers What a team They took care of the World Champion (exworld champs) Los Angeles Lakers in four straight That's only the fourth time in N.B.A. history for a sweep m the finals and the Sixers set a new record, winning 13 out of 14 in the playoffs Maybe they are the best team ever'” .{Vow a few words about the championship senes I know Moses Malone won the most valuable player award, but who really was Philadelphia's most valuable player 9 My vote goes to Bobby Jones I

honestly feel that Jrfncs is the glue that holds this great team together He spells the starter, goes 7 for 8 from the field, record 5 steals, plays great defense and then is forgotten Well One more remark Philadelphia can be proud of their faas. Ix>s Angeles can't The crowd at the Forum, even with all their celebrities, showed no class at all when they shout obscenities protesting a bad call They proved to the nation and other parts of Ule wflrld what jerks they really are Congratulations to the Sixers and all you fans who have been waiting for this the past six years It was worth the wait
