MIDVALE - Who's on first is an old baseball saying and nothing is more apropos when listing the standings for the Tuscarawas County Class A League. The solution to the entire problem centers around whether Midvale's games (1-1) shall count or not. The Blue Devils, since they advanced into District Tournament play, had an option of either playing out their schedule or not having their games count. Well, Strasburg and Midvale met recently and the Blue Devils won 3-2. That game; however, was termed as a "practice game" by the Tigers. Last night, Garaway beat Midvale 4-2. If Midvale's games count, Garaway will have a 7-1 league slate and Strasburg 6-2. If the Blue Devils' contests are "thrown out," the picture will change. Confusing? Yep, and the man who must decide the issue is Baltic's Tom Bellville, who is league manager. Bellville contends THE VARIOUS MANAGERS AREN'T TOO PROMPT IN REPORTING THEIR GAMES AS THEY SHOULD, thus the reason for the problem which could and should, have been settled long ago. Getting back to yesterday's game, Jim Wheeler (3-2) was the winning pitcher, allowing 4 hits, passing 3 and fanning six. Gene Belba (3-3) was the loser, permitting 8 safeties, walking none and striking out 7. Jim Young of Garaway and Don Ickes of Midvale both slapped doubles. Tim Stevenus, Randy Miller and Dan Andreas all had 2 hits for Garaway.
