------- ---------G. P. Lu ckey (V.P. in Charge of
Mfg.) turned the first spadeful of
dirt in the ground breaking ceremony for Hamilton's new $200,000
single story defense branch plant
at East Petersburg, Wednesday
afternoon, June 27th.
Present at the ceremonies were:
C. C. Smith (V.P. in Charge of
Finance and Secretary), R. B.
Thompson (Comptroller), Harry
Lawrence (Treasurer) , Fred Hauer (Mgr. of Mfg.), M. F. Manby
(Dir. of Eng.), A. B. Sinkler (Dir.

the East Petersburg Borough
Council, D . S. Warfel, general
contractor, and Mr. Luckey.
The new building, the structure
of which will be 100 feet by 200
feet and 14 feet high with floor
space of 20,000 feet, will be used
for manufacture under defense
contracts totaling $13,000,000. It
will have a wood composition roof
and be protected with a standard
sprinkler system.
Work started immediately on
the building which is slated for
completion by Oct. 1.
It is located on an 18-acre tract
of land, fronted on the East Petersburg-Lancaster road. It is adjacent to the Reading Railroad
right-of-way with six trains passing daily. More than 17 acres of
the total tract is in East Hempfield Township with the rest in
the borough of East Petersburg.
Speaking for the borough, Spencer expressed d elight that Hamilton management had selected
"this site for t h e new branch
plant." He cited the borough's low
tax rate and new water system as
some of the "things" which are
and should be attractive to induS'try.
According to a Com pan y
spokesman, "many locations were
looked at before this one was finally selected."
The East Petersburg location
was chosen because of: (1). availability to railroad siding, (2). water supply, (3) . availability to
public transportation, (4). nearness to the main plant, (5), labor
market area.

On every construction job he
undertakes, D. S. Warfel, general
contractor on the building of the
new plant, makes it a point to
take movies of the ground breaking proceedings.

Hamilton Watch Buried 31 Years In Canadian Soil 38 Hamiltonians
Runs Again After Complete Re-Conditioning Job Assist At Pro Mat Show
Here's one for the books.
It's the story about the 18 size
Hamilton that was buried for 31
years in Canadian soil and following a complete re-conditioning
job "in the Service Department is
running again, as accurately as
the day it was purchased.
This yarn begins back in 1918.
The Hamilton was a gift to C. E.
Hyer of Knoxville, Iowa, from
his mother that particular Christmas.
About eight months later in
July 1919, Mr. Hyer decided to get
married Figuring he'd give his
new wife a break by coming to
dinner on time, he decided to carry the watch to the field with him.
Mr. Hyer's farm was located in
Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
While working around some ' farm
machinery several days after returning from his honeymoon, Mr.
Hyer noticed his Hamilton was
gone. This happened the 25th or
26th of July 1919.
He searched for the watch
many times after that but never
found it.
As the years passed, Mr. Hyer
rented his land and he spends
only his summers in Canada. Last
year, May 1950, 31 years after he
had lost his Hamilton, the tenant
farmer who works the soil on Mr.
Hyer's farm found the watch and
returned it to him. The watch had
been turned up during the spring
plowing.
Mr. Hyer sent the watch here
to the factory to be re-conditioned. The Service Department
found the movement was remark-
Here's a photo of the movement
of Mr. Hyer's Hamilton taken last
year before the Service Dept.
started a reconditi9ning job on
the watch. It shows little damage
after being buried for 31 years in
Canadian soil
----
ably free from rust and the mainspring still oiled. The steel hinge
pins on the hunting case were
badly rusted and the case was
deeply dented and scratched.
Despite 31 years of burial in
Canadian soil, Mr. Hyer's 18 size
Hamilton lived to tell the tale. It
is ticking away the seconds today
with the same precision as the
Christmas in 1918 when his mother gave it to him.

For our dough one of the finest sports projects successfully
undertaken in this town is the midget and midget-midget baseball program presently in operation ... 1t gives a lot of swell
youngsters a chance to play the greatest game of them all on
an established and closely supervised basis ... It teaches the little guys the lesson of give and take at an early age and makes
them strong in character which will stand them in good as they
grow to manhood.

From a player friend of ours, who makes a practice of being very critical about all matters, he admits the HRA Men's
Softball League is a good one this year with the interest high,
competition keen and the supervision O.K.... When this particular friend of ours makes a statement of this nature, you've
got to believe him .... He isn't one for tossing bouquets to guys
who don't deserve flowers.

We happen to know a little about the deal the Detroit Tigers made with Dick Barr, the 18-year old, 6 ft. 1 in., 170 pound
southpaw on Mike Wenglasz's Manor High club this year ....
The Tigers had a scout watching Dick for two seasons . .. Because of a ruling, naturally, no big league club could approach
him until he graduated this past June ... Immediately upon receiving his diploma, the Tiger scout made him a tidy bonus
offer and a good monthly salary to start in B ball .... Dick
weighed it against offers from the Phillies and Pittsburgh and
found it to be more secure ... . He was shipped to the Tigers'
Eastern League club, Williamsport, under Schoolboy Rowe, the
ex-PhilIies flinger .. "Schoolie" kept Dick around for four weeks,
working him in batting practice and taking him along on a
two-weeks swing to Albany and Hartford before cutting him
loose to Durham in the North Carolina State League under Ace
Parker, the old ex-major leaguer and National Pro loop football star .... Dick was promised steady mound duty with Durham .... During his stay at Williamsport, he received sound
baseball advice from Rowe, who is definitely sold on the youngster's possibilities.

This guy Lou Thesz, recognized as the world's h eavyweight
pro wrestling champion, is a smart cookie .... Lou, who wrestled Billy Darnell for Danny Templeton on June 22 in McCaskey stadium, does his own booking .... This m eans he eliminates the middle-man or booking agent who steps in for a 10 %
swipe of a wrestler's per-match earnings .... In turn, the booking agent is a very sore guy at Thesz and h e tries to scare a
promoter who has just made a booking directly with Thesz
for his services .... Templeton experienced this shortly after
Thesz signed to wrestle in Lancaster .... A top guy, who handles a raft of wrestlers out of his N ew York office, and who
would like nothing better than to handle Lou's business for him
because the champ gets quite a chunk of dough wherever he
goes, sent Danny one of these scare telegrams .... He told Dan
that he'd bet that Thesz wouldn't appear in Lancaster on the
date h e was scheduled for ... Templeton, not one to scare easily, immediately got on the long distance t elephone and talked
directly with Thesz in Montreal. .. Lou told Danny to tell this
guy to go plumb to heck, that he'd be in Lancaster on June
22nd .... Lou came here for a thousand bucks flat guarantee ...
Danny tried to get Thesz to wrestle Buddy Rogers .... The two
have m et five times for the title with Lou winning two and
three matches ending in draws .... Thez told Dan that there
wouldn't be any point in his risking his head against Rogers
h er e because the percentage of the gate wouldn't be attractive enough to warrant his putting his crown on the wire ...
He said he can make more dough out of the same match in St,
Louis, where the gate is bigger .... As for meeting Rogers here
on a flat guarantee basis, Templeton couldn't handle the figures
that the two boys would want and still make a little dough
himself.

It's a bit early to pick the National League's Most Valuable
Player for 1951, but we'd like to cast our vote for Richie Ashburn, the fleet centerfielder of the Philadelphia PhilIies and
certainly one of the finest fielding fly-chasers in the senior
circuit . .. Richie is having a great season in the 'hitting department .... He's a whippet on the base paths and he's got all the
fire and scrap a big leaguer needs .... Richie has been instrumental in quite a few PhilIies' victories this season ... We hear
some baseball brethren say his arm is weak, .. We haven't seen
any clubs take advantage of his throwing .... Evidently, it's
as good and as accurate as all the rest of the top gardeners
in the circuit .... However, when the experts get around to
making their official selection, it will naturally be a player
with one of the first two clubs, rather than Ashburn .... We
base our selection on the player and what he has contributed
to his team, regardless of what spot the club finishes in.

The big question in boxing is, can Joe Louis regain his
h eavyweight crown if he meets Jersey Joe Walcott .... There
are many who think he can ... They base their decision on his
fight with Lee Savold .... The big question is, wasn't Savold
tailor made for Joe? . . There's no denying that Louis looked
good in his six round win over Lee .. .. Many, who saw the
figh t , say he looked like the Joe of old .... Maybe so! .... His
reflexes were sharp, which if true, is something more than
they've been in his other fights this season ... Savold was a
stationary target .... Joe was always good against a stand-up
fighter ... It was the "movers," the guys who shift and weave,
that Joe always had trouble with, even in his prime .... Jersey Joe is a "mover."
Dick Tshudy's Assembly Casing
club won all five of its games to
annex the first half honors in the
HRA Men's Inter-Departmental
Softball League.
The Assembly Casing crew won
from Machine Shop (26-4), Engineers (9-0), Specialties (33-4) , Inspection (2-1) and Assembly D
(7-6). The winners tallied 77 runs
to the oposition's 15.
Should the Assembly outfit
sweep the second half as it did the
first, no play-off for the championship will be necessary since
the Tshudymen automatically will
be outright champions for the
season. However, if one of the
other clubs come through in the
second half, a three game series
with Assembly Casing will be necessary at the close of the regular: league campaign to decide the
circuit winner for the season.
While it may appear that Assembly Casing had a soft touch
winning the first half without a
setback, it wasn't as easy as all
that. Against Inspection and Assembly D, the winners had a
rough time. Manager Tshudy is
first to admit this. "We were
lucky,' h e said, "to take both Inspection and Assembly D. They
both had tough breaks against us,
but we were able to cash in on
their miscues and pull through
with a pair of narrow wins to cop
the first half. Our boys played
steady ball through the first half
and we hit the ball well. The
pitching of Paul Stauffer, Mike
Valudes and Earl Shrum kept us
alive in the five games."
The Assembly Casing squad
was composed of : Howard McClain, Carl Saurbaugh, Earl Harrison, Johnny Butzer, Jim Ault,
Ed Gardner, Dick Williams, Johnny Jarrett, Mike Valudes, Dick
Keene, George Dommel, George
Myers, Gil Warner, Frank Diego,
Earl Shrum, Harry King, Dick
Bentley, Virgil Meck, Paul Stauffer and Dick Tshudy.

14-4 reversal by RCA and a 2-0
defeat by East P et ersburg.
Officially, the second half of the
circuit got underway on July 26
with Hamilton playing the Eagles,
the class of th e circuit. with five
straight wins during the first half
without a reversal.
While the Hamilton Gals have
dropped three out of four games
in the first half, Coach Hoffman
figures that during the second
half of the season, his club will
find itself to finish up a notch or
two in the final circuit standings.
Hamilton has three remaining
games to play. This evening
they meet B ell T elephone. On AugUst 9th they stack up against
RCA and on August 24th they
wind up their season with East
P etersburg. These three games
will be played on the Keller A venue field across from the Stockyards.
Out of circulation for the past
two seasons, the Hamilton Girls
returned to league competition
this year with practically a whole
new team from the one that won
the championship in 1947.
Things are in readiness for the
1951 Frank C. Beckwith Trophy
Quoit Singles Tourney, according
to co-chairmen Joe Butson (Damask.) and Frank Hoffman (B. &
F. S ').
The championship gets underway today at noon with over
fifty entries slated to compete in
one of the biggest tourneys in the
history of quoits at Hamilton.
Co-chairmen Butson an d Hoffman stated that post entries will
be accepted in an effort to have
as many in the tourney as possible. No entry fee will be charged
to compete.
As soon as the singles tourney
is out of the way the doubles
championship will start.
Competition for the Frank C.
Beckwith trophy is only in the
singles play. The doubles tourney
will ca rry special prizes to the
winners.
The defending singles champ is
Charley Hickey (Assem. Casing).
The 1950 doubles champs are Joe
Butson and Russ Kuhns (Dial).
The Frank C. B eckwith Trophy,
which will be placed in competition for the first time this year, is
more or less a traveling trophy in
so far as the individual who gains
permanent possession of it must
win the singles championship
three times.
