Solomon Dethrones Zadroga To Capture Jefferson Open
Jim Solomon of Uniontown, Pa,
past State Class A champion, won the 1967 Jefferson Horseshoe championship
sponsored by the Jefferson Volunteer Fire Company. Jim slated 10 victories to 1 defeat with a 79.2% average.
The
Class B pitchers were the ones who were really hurt by the rain, as they were
the ones who had to play under sloppy conditions but even at that, Jack Rainbow
and John Fulton turned in creditable 62% averages.
Wayne
Richards went undefeated to cop Class C laurels; second place went to Phil
Lovetere whose only loss was to Richards.
In
comparison to the past an unusual feature of the tournament was that there was
only one playoff and that was in Class D where Cyril Enders downed Russell Wade
50-38.
The
winners in Classes E, F, and G all were undefeated in posting 5-0 records. Respectively in order they were Wilbur
Barnhart, John Beck and Jim Schneider.
Opal
Corbett, womens state champion, was entered in the tourney and gave a good
account of herself.
The
chairman of the tournament Myron Huffman, his aides Clarence Virgin and John
Titus, the Jefferson Volunteer Fire Department should be complimented for a
difficult situation very well done.
