 | Saturday, September 12th, 1931: Lurgan Loses Al Oliver
The Lurgan Setters will lose the services of center fielder Al Oliver after he sustained a hyperextended elbow while throwing the ball in today's game against the Somerset Sabres. When asked about the injury, he took a philosophical approach. "Worse things can happen in life," Oliver said. "The key now is to stay positive." His trainer said he is expected to be sidelined for the next 5-6 weeks.
This season Oliver is swinging the bat at a .332 rate with 132 hits in 397 at-bats. To date he has hit 14 home runs, scored 56 runs and driven in 62.

 | Friday, September 4th, 1931: Belle On Fire! 5-5 for Lurgan!
Albert Belle had an answer for everything the Hampshire Hawks threw him today in the Lurgan 9-4 triumph at Pollock Park. He made good contact 5 times and 5 times he drilled the ball for a base hit.
The Lurgan left fielder went 5 for 5 in the game to put his name in the record book.
Summing up his batting philosophy to SION writers after the game, Belle said, "I just see the ball and I hit it."
A. Belle singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off C. Bradford in the 8th.
In 1931 Belle has produced 131 hits in 424 at-bats for a .309 average with 25 home runs and gotten on base at a .384 clip.
