Gratton Elks Fall to Muntzing Jeeps in Wild Doubleheader
The Gratton Elks dropped a two game set 15 to 11 and 7 to 3 to the Muntzing Jeeps in a chaotic afternoon at Eb bets Field. Key moments included a seven run fifth inning for the Jeeps and Raymond Lansbury’s near spectacular center field catch to deny Whitten. Lefty Tim Arbergast debuted for the Elks in the second game as the Jeeps solidified a 7-3 win with a fourth inning homer and late scoring. The Elks, now 3-3, travel to Philippi Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. to face the Red Sox with all players meeting at 6:30 p.m.

Snead’s National Open Gambles Against Luck
Alan Mayer notes Sam Snead’s repeated misfortune in the National Open. From 1937 to 1950 he faced near-certain wins only to falter on decisive holes. The piece surveys Snead’s near-misses, including 1939 five on par five, 1947 playoff miscue, and 1950 final-round fade, suggesting a costly streak of bad luck as he pursues a breakthrough title.
