Leonardtown native Bryan Morse picked up his second win since joining the Blue Crabs, his first at home with a 7-4 victory Friday over Lancaster.
Devon Knott of All American Harley Davidson reaches out and slaps a hit in last Thursdays Young Mens Softball First Round Game.
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer GREAT MILLS After two weeks off due to tournaments in other parts of the state, the highly competitive St. Marys County Young Mens Softball first round series between All-American Harley Davidson and Dew Drop Inn reached its conclusion at Chancellors Run Park. And what a conclusion it was. After surrendering a seven-run lead and trailing by two going into their last at bat, Tom Matisicks RBI double gave Dew Drop an 18-17 win in the game as well as the series by a two games to one margin. With the win, Dew Drop advanced to a best-of-five second round series with regular-season champion Straight Cuts Lawn Services, which kicked off Friday night. We had a deep bench tonight, said Dew Drop co-manager Dale Farrell of one of the rare times that the team had all players present and accounted for this season. We used everybody we could and everybody on this team can play. See Dew Drop Softball page B-3

Morse
Continued from page B- said. [Blue Crabs manager] Butch Hobson knew him before; hes easy to work with, a good worker, and he knows how to pitch. Before he was throwing fastballs, Morse was kicking around soccer balls, starting at the age of five in the St. Marys County soccer leagues. It was at eight years old that he discovered baseball and a couple of vital points along with it. I found out I was better at it and enjoyed it more, so Ive stayed with it ever since, Morse said. After a stellar career at Leon-
ardtown High School and Charles County Community College (now known as the College of Southern Maryland), Morse then went to Mount Olive College in North Carolina for a season before being picked in the 24th round of the 1999 draft by the Florida Marlins. Morse pitched three seasons in the Marlins system before going the Independent League route, which is where hes had a lot of success. Like most pro baseball players, a trip to the Major Leagues is something that Morse thinks about, but not much, as hes committed to helping the Blue Crabs win. I just take it one day a time and keep working, he says. You just have to have an opportunity,
and hopefully it works out for the best. As for the Blue Crabs, who lead the Liberty Division of the Atlantic League by two games over the Long Island Ducks, Morse feels the team can continue to be successful as long they continue their recent hot play. The team has won seven of its last 10 games. You want to be the ones in the lead, not chasing somebody down, he said, adding that the key to the Blue Crabs success has been timely hitting and great pitching. We just have to keep playing like we are and working hard.
Just Us Softball
Continued from page B- singled home Amber Cutchember in the top half of the fourth to open up a 4-1 lead, but the Just Us onslaught began. We have to learn that we cant just score runs in one or two innings, we have to score every inning and not give the opposing team extra runs, Keen said. When you dig yourself a hole, its tough to get out of that. Leading the charge for Just Us was right fielder Yola Lyles, who drove in four runs, and Kings two triples, the second one scoring Gail Maddox and Anita Nelson ahead of her in the bottom of the fifth.
Aggie Lloyd of Just Us follows through on a pitch against Chesapeake Custom Embroidery.
Just Us Gail Maddox swings at a pitch as CCE catcher Claire Andrews looks on.
Its a little different from last year, King said of the recent Just Us hitting spree that has them chasing Bud Light for first place in Division I. Last year we started off really well and slowed down near the end. This year were hitting at the right time. Nobody can beat us when were hitting. Lyles feels that the team is a little more settled now that the league playoffs are set to begin in the next two weeks. Weve started to relax, she explains. We just play minute by minute. Lamont Saxon believes that his team can go as far as they want as long as they continue to work together. They just have to continue to playing like theyve been playing and work hard as a team, he says. Teamwork is the most important thing.

at the time started heading for home plate (as a side note, we used nearby boulders and square-shaped rocks for our basesalong with the cement surface, the no-steal rule was easy to enforce) because we thought it was a home run, one that wouldve put our team ahead by two runs. Instead, the pitcher for the other team says as were rounding the bases, almost in a whisper, uh-uhfoul ball. It didnt go in front of that third tree on the right. So that began a two-hour argument amongst all involved parties about the legitimacy of the blast and it contained all sorts of obscenities and insults that surely wouldve gotten our preteen mouths washed out with soap if we our parents ever found out. I believe we solved the argument by of all things, flipping a coin, which wouldve taken about an hour and 59 minutes off of the time of the debate. Then again, maybe not. Knowing my group of friends the way I do, somebody wouldve felt the coin was flipped unfairly because it was by a member of the other team and vice versa, or it wasnt flipped high enough, the coin didnt go end over end and on and on it wouldve went. Yet and still, after all the name-calling, the preteen cursing and wasting a few hours of sunlight with our
youthful angst, after the game ended, we all went to a corner store, bought some juice and snacks, and laughed and joked like we were not calling each other everything but a child of God earlier in the day. That sort of camaraderie can only come from unorganized sports, but when you put organization into certain things, when you try to mold and program kids to become athletic robots, thats when the fun is taken out of the game, and when something isnt fun anymore, children most definitely will not want to be bothered with it anymore. I refuse to say that organized sports youth is a bad thing, especially when managed and run correctly. However, therein lies the problem stage parents who believe THEIR special child should be starting at this position, who dont think someone elses kid is all that special or that certain children are receiving more playing time because the coach is a parent or a relative are contribute to the delinquency of youth athletes. Some children have egos beyond belief and really think theyre on their way to being the next Superstar because their parents have told them so and forced the kid to focus their energy on being the best among a group of kids when the general idea of league participation should be to have fun. Instead, children are programmed to be machines of hitting, running and throwing power while their emotions are pushed to the side with the age-old mantra GET TOUGH! Why are we asking grade school-age kids to get tough? Nothing about sports should be tough except the wait until the next time they get to play a game. I will say that having a competitive drive is certainly nothing to be ashamed of if anything it should be channeled properly so children can apply to all facets of their lives and not just sports. If we pushed our kids in the class-
room as much as we do on the field or on the court, we would have some world class doctors, lawyers, teachers and businessmen and businesswomen as well as athletes. Theres nothing wrong with setting goals, taking steps towards achieving and then achieving those goals. There is something wrong when kids are walking, talking and acting like professional athletes when they have yet to deal with the perils of junior high and puberty happening to them all in one fell swoop. Which is why the extinction of unorganized sports and playing for fun really hurts society, not just from an athletic perspective, but from a character-building one as well. A lot of adults that are my age - Ill be 27 on September 25th, you can send cards to the County Times office that really do believe that life is fair and everything is supposed to go their way because they say so and they want their way. That comes from being hyped up and being perceived as being better people than other kids because they were good at some sport or exercise that should have been just for fun and not to destroy and look down upon others. So as I mourn the death of sandlot baseball and other sports being played just for fun, I also mourn for the future. Obviously, if we dont know how to have fun and not take everything so seriously as children, then well be prone to making the same mistakes as adults, only to harshly find out that you cant always get what you want, despite what you were told when you were hitting home runs at will against lesser-talented kids.

EntertainSee Members Meeting page B-5 The Newtowne Players Present Neil Simons Plaza Suite, August 15-31 LEXINGTON PARK, MD Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples that have occupied Suite 719 at the famed Plaza Hotel in New York City. A suburban couple takes the suite while their house is being painted, and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before. This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little diversion. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom, where guests await her. This classic three-act Neil Simon comedy was first presented on stage in 1968 and later made into a movie in 1970; its popularity hasnt waned since its first performance. The Newtowne Players will perform Plaza Suite Thursdays through Sundays, Aug. 15-31, 2008. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances start at 8 p.m.; Sunday shows begin at 3:30 p.m. Performances are held at Three Notch Theatre on 21744 South Coral Drive in Lexington Park, Md. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and senior citizens, and $10 for children. Thursday shows are $10 general admission. Light refreshments and beverages are also available for purchase at the theatre. A pre-show champagne reception will be held at 7 p.m. on opening night, Aug. 15.

St. Marys County Department of Recreation and Parks Announces New Program
Ladies Learn Football 101
The Board of County Commissioners, through the Department of Recreation & Parks, invites the public to register for Ladies Learn Football 101. Hey Ladies: Are you tired of your guy spending the whole weekend in front of the television, ignoring you because the big game is on? Are you tired of not being able to participate in around the water cooler sports chats at work? Have you ever asked questions about sports, only to become confused once you received the answer? Have you ever gone to your childs game and was oblivious as to what was happening? Are you the only person in your circle that is clueless when it comes to sports? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions then its time to EVEN THE SCORE!! EVEN THE SCORE is a dynamic organization that was designed to bridge the gap between women and sports by placing them in a relaxed, social atmosphere that is conducive to learning. Through the use of innovative games and creative trainings women are armed with the knowledge and confidence they need to comfortably converse with others about sports. With EVEN THE SCORES help, women everywhere can impress significant others, colleagues, counterparts, family and friends with their knowledge of sports. The first six weeks will focus strictly on football.

for the Alumni Trophy, two or more members of the boats crew must be St. Marys College of Maryland alumni. The award is presented to the yacht with the highest percentage score, which is computed by dividing the number of boats defeated in a class by the number of boats registered in the same class. The Governors Cup Yacht Race is the oldest and longest overnight race on the Chesapeake Bay, running from Marylands current capital city to its first capital in St. Marys City. Approximately 134 boats were entered this year. The race began Friday, Aug. 1, at the entrance of the Annapolis Harbor and finished Saturday, Aug. 2, on the shores of St. Marys College of Maryland with a post-race party. The schooner Adventurer served as the start boat in Annapolis, with the Maryland Dove, a replica of a 17th-century square-rigger from Historic St. Marys City, as the finish boat at St. Marys College of Maryland. The Governors Cup was founded in 1973 by three St. Marys College of Maryland students with the support of then president Renwick Jackson. It has been sailed every summer since. The first race, held in 1974, attracted only 47 boats. The start gun was a sawed-off shotgun, and the start shapes were handmade out of cardboard boxes covered in plastic and beach towels.

mammals (the gibbon, a small ape, and the giant pangolin, a kind of ant eater) are known to use this form of locomotion for any length of time. Adult males weigh around 50 or so pounds, while females are about half that size and give birth to one baby at a time. In Borneo the monkeys are known as Monyet Belanda, which means Dutchman Monkey. The local people thought the early European traders to the region were hairy, with big noses and pot bellies. The word proboscis has several meanings, but in the monkeys case, it just means he has a very big nose. The monkey is threatened because of deforestation to its habitat. It is also on the Endangered Red List of Threatened Species since Borneo is the only place in the world where the Proboscis Monkey lives (there are only about 7,000 of them known to exist). You cannot see them in zoos in this country because their unique requirements would be impossible to duplicate. As an experiment several years ago, some monkeys were sent to a zoo on the island of Java, near Borneo. Sadly, most of them died because of the stress of living in captivity. To see this really cool monkey having a swinging good time in its natural habitat, check out http:www/Proboscismonkey.org.
Heres How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
