S. Engi¬ neers in their final league game by an overwhelming 16-4 score. The Alliance lads were entered in the City League’s Red Division, one of the fastest softball loops in the City, and came out on top of the heap with a very impres¬ sive record of 18 wins and only a single loss. They were defeated in their opening game of the sea¬ son by the Savannah Gas Com¬ pany, but after that they ran up a string of 18 consecutive wins and in doing so defeated some of the best tearms in the city. By virtue of copping the title the Golden Tornadoes are heavy fav¬ orites to take the annual City Softball Tournament which will commence shortly. For the past five seasons the JEA had entered the City League, however they were never able to finish higher than fourth place. This year manager Eichholz mold¬ ed together a smooth working out¬ fit by combining a few newcom¬ ers and some old veterans. The Alliance, although a light hitting club, was by far the best defen¬ sive team to play in the city this season and held their opponents to an average of less than three runs per game. Combining hustle and team spirit this year, the lads were not to be denied and won the title going away. In addition to the league games, the team defeated eleven other opponents outside of league play. In the annual JEA-Alumni tilt, the team had too much experi¬ ence and took a twin bill from their Alumni by counts of 8-5 and 6-5. Members of the softball team were. Sanford Rubin, Leo Center, Be:nard Kramer, Ruppert Heller, Maurice Alpert, Henry Pike, Gil¬ bert Odrezin, Abe Palefsky, Rob¬ ert Gordon, Harry Eichholz and David Weatherhorn. . Gilbert Odrezin, Leo Center, Max Kaminsky and Meyer Sable will return. GOLF . . . The fall golf tournament sponsored by the Physical Edu¬ cation Department will begin dur¬ ing the latter part of October. All members who intend to enter 1 his tournament are asked to turn in three score cards, so each player can be given a proper handicap and placed in a flight with men of like ability. Please get your scores in early to Sam Wechsler at the Alliance.
