By ROMS TUCKER A big bundle of orchids to ELLA “STRETCH” SEDENKO, San Rafael Greyhound bus driver. Not only does she devote two nights weekly to coaching a teen-age softball team, but “Stretch” also has bought the squad ib ensignias, and milk shakes for each and every home run hit during a game. ‘The Sedenko-tutored nine lost a tough one last time out, 3-?, to Toby's junior squad of Point Reyes. SAL CANTORO, who unselfishly spends three nights a week as SAAA softball commis sioner, provided transportation for the Point Reyes junket. Santoro says “We're going to avenge this defeat against Toby's next week at Albert Field.” : _ Maybe if more citizens took an interest in Marin’s youth as Santoro and Sedenko do, juvenile delinquency in the count: could be cut down to a fat ZERO.

IN YESTERDAY'S ARTICLE concerning football fortunes of Tamalpais’ 1951 squad, this scribe went on record against picking Tam to cap the North Bay League pennant. That is until the final game of the season—against Vallejo. The records indicate that Apache squads hold some kind of an invisible “hex” over the Indians. Out of a rivalry,that started during the early part of the twentieth century, Tam has only beaten Vallejo on six occasions—three wins coming ,as a result of forfeits, 1933-1937-1950. Earliest win we can find is 1922, score unavailable. Although some ties have been recorded, it wasn’t until as late as 1940 that the Injuns saw another victory, 7-6. 1947 was Tam’s supreme hour of triumph, 13-6, as the Tam Tribe went on to win the NBL flag for the first time since 1933, another victorious year when the Indians won their first gonfalon. So you see, Vallejo has had the better of the squabble. Tam's best finishing years have been when Tamites bopped Vallejo. That's why we're mum until the final game of the season.
