Squads with power-packed
lineups from Tacoma and
Tri-Cities will be the odds-on
favorites to walk off with top
honors when "major league"
slow pitch softball competition
comes to Othello in the 8th
Annual Lions Slow Pitch
Invitational this weekend.
Thirty two of the top slow
pitch teams in the Northwest
will be competing in the big
tournament which will open on
Friday night and run through
Sunday evening at the Lions
park playing field complex.
While the tournament has
had its share of surprises
through the years, Tacoma
and Tri-Cities teams, which
have pretty well dominated
the event during the past few
years since the change-over to
the "small ball", look like the
teams to beat in the event.
The ability to hit the long
ball has been the key to
success in the local tourna-
ment in recent years, and both
the TriCities and Tacoma have
strong squads capable of doing
that. Tacoma almost com-
pletely dominated the top
spots in the tournament from
1970 through 1972, with the
Tri-Cities "taking over" last
year.
Back to defend its 1973 title
will be the Playboy Tavern of
Kennewick with virtually its
same lineup, including all-

stars Art Trabert, Jim Robin-
son, Joe Gonzalez and Chuck
Murphy.
Another top entry appears
to be Chinese Gardens of
Pasco, which took second here
last year as Tri-City Taverns.
The squad includes Daryl
Idler, tournament MVP last
year, along with all-stars Gary
Kuhn and Jerry Washburn.
Also members of the Pasco
team are Larry and Mike
McCourite, the former Othello
power-hitting brother combi-
nation.
Other Tri-City teams in the
tournament are Cosmo Angus
of Kennewick, which took
third last year and returns
with all-star Jerry Bishop; and
a new entry, R.R. Adams-Tri-
State of Kennewick.
Lots of All-Stars
The Tacoma entry is down
to just five teams this year,
but a pair of them, which will
be playing under new names,
are loaded with past Othello
tournament stars.
The Hi-Hat, a team com-
posed basically of players from
the Dean's Tavern squad
which was second here in 1971,
will come in with no less than
six former all-stsrs in its
lineup. They include Bill
Bailey and Whit Hemmion
with Tacoma Merchants in
1972; Carlos Canty and Dick
Zierman with Dean's in 1971;

Also "loaded" is Cloverleaf

squad which includes four
former all-stars. They are Mel
Burrell, MVP with Wested
Tire in 1972; Dave Roller with
Dean's in 1971; and Doug
Armstrong and Jerry Archer
with Lucky in 1970.
Other Tacoma teams are
Len's Haven, third in 1972 and
back with former all-star
Jerry Brodigan; The Schoon-
er, a participant here the last
three years; and Waller Road
Exxon, a new entry.
Others Tough Too
While the Tacoma and
Tri-City entries look the
toughest on paper, challenges
could also come from Ellens-
burg, Bremerton and North-
ern Idaho.
Ellensburg sends Kelleher
Motors, a team which has won
several tournaments already
this year, and includes former
"Ranch" allstars in speedy
outfielder Bob Burke and
pitcher Lee Day. Inseam
Tavern also represents a
tough squad from Ellensburg.
Bremerton, which dominat-
ed the tournament in the big
ball days, sends two entries
again. Scotty's Tavern, a
spinoff from the Bremerton Oil
team which was tough here in
1970 and 71, will be back with
former all-star shortstop Jim
Jessup. The other Bremerton
entry will be Bernie's Smoke
Shop.
Four from Idaho
Although Northern Idaho
teams have never fared well in
the local event despite the
"small ball" histories, 1974
could be the year. Moen Con-
crete and Horace Mann
Educators are entered from
Coeur d'Alene with Lewiston

1 entry on the strength of its
win over Brunswick Tavern in
league play here Monday

includes first baseman Mike
Lampe, who was an all-star
with Eddie's Tavern last year.
Brunswick is entered as
No. 2 with the squad including
Gary Snyder, three-time all-
star, and Scott Stickel, two-
time honoree, in the outfield.
Ochoa Farms will be the third
