Death Breaks Up Brother-Act in Soft Ball Sport
Death of Leo Hablewitz, 26, Tuesday night, broke up a brother combination which had played an important part in Manitowoc diamond ball activities for a number of years.
The three Hablewitz brothers, Leo, catcher, Edward, pitcher, and Sylvester, first baseman, worked together smoothly and formed the nucleus for strong teams in the National league. In 1932 they were with the Brewer Furniture team which won the championship and last season they were with the Hook Emporium team which won second place. Although occupying positions on the team where hairline decisions must be made, the boys never gave the umpires any trouble.
Leo's untimely death put an end to plans that had already been made for this season. The brothers, in addition to their soft ball activities, planned to play hardball with the Osman club. Eddie and "Sally" will probably carry on - Leo would want it that way - but for those two boys, the game will never be quite the same.
