FROM HELL'S KITCHEN TO WORLDS CHAMPIONS

Just how high an ambitious
boy, blessed with ability, can
climb in baseball, was never DEM
onstrated more forctbly than by
Heinfe Wagner, the hustling lit
tie field leader of the Boston Red
Sox.
About fifteen years ago Billy
Rodenbach, former amateur mid
dleweight boxing champion, man
aged and played with a nine on
New York's upper west side. The
team was to play a formidable
club in New Jersey and the day
before the game the third base
man went to bed, mighty sick,
causing dismay in the organiza-
ton, for 1t wasn't easy to dig up
good infielder on short notice.
Rodenbach had given up hope
or making any sort of showing
in the game when a friend met
him and said, BILLY, there's a kid
down in HelPs kitchen that looks
like the goods. Go take a look
at him."
Rodenbach went to the historic
ground and at seth street and
Eleventh avenue found a game
for the championship of the
kitchen" in progress.
Rodenbach glued his eyes on
the third baseman of one team
and was impressed with the way
the kid scooped all sorts of drives
and sailed them across to the
first baseman.
Between innings Rodenbach an
preached the kid and asked him
