Transportation Problem Shapes District 10 Football Plans
Sharpsville superintendent Marty Pebly cites a transportation issue as a major obstacle to the District 10 Class A football league involving Corry, Grove City, Greenville, Sharpsville, Titusville and Franklin. He urges possible home and home series with Union City and Titusville to preserve schedules. Meantime Corry Merchants face Meadville Eagles at Loveland Field in a strong softball matchup after Meadville won the Western Pennsylvania title but lost in the final playoff. Hyrold Strewbridge, a young pitching talent from Titusville, has signed a contract with the Cleveland Indians to play for the Lake Erie Clippers, while Titusville’s Cannavine era moves toward pro ball with organized baseball ambitions. Football drills open statewide today with Beavers and Sheffield High preparing for the opener on September 11.

Slaughter Surge Threatens Batting Leaders
In a fast paced late season, Todd Williams of the Boston Red Sox and Pete Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers see their batting averages pressured by a surge from Elmer Slaughter and rivals. Williams slips from the lead as the season wanes while Reiser remains near the top of the American League. The surge also boosts Ellis Slaughter of the St Louis Browns, who climbs to second in the National League rankings and narrows the gap.
