King Notes on delays and players in late season game
The afternoon contest was delayed 25 minutes to rake soft spots while Clarence Hoff man helped with ground crew duties. King manager Ivy shuffled the outfield against Oscar Solorzano, who proved a danger as a dead-right-field hitter. Ump Scott’s narrow strike zone slowed play, prompting praise for a stricter strikes call. Aurley Patino focuses on base hits over power, and George Votruba notes plans to add an infielder as Emil Stoecker struggles with balls. West Frankfort’s Chuck Hawley leads a strong, well-rounded club, while West Frankfort signs 17-year-old Buddy Davis as catcher for a $2,000 bonus. Centralia defeated Mattoon 12-6, highlighted by an eight-run fifth inning including two homers by Zeke Bekeza and Roger Della Betta with bases loaded.
