Around 1914, there was q
young. lefthanded fellow who
was quite d pitcher among local
sandlotters, and Washing gtonians
eyed him with admiration.
One day he found himself in
the mighty ballyard Of the New
York Yankees. Not only that,
but he was in the box all set to
| put the mighty Yankee Sluggers
Of that day through a little
batting practice. Opposing him
was player whose name we need
not mention right here.
The southpaw advanced to the
1Ibber, wound up. and sent the
psllet whiStling down the groove.
Enc batsman poised expectantly.
he'd the bali approach, then
~ louldered the lumber, caught
tn Sball underneath, and lifted 1t
high and true into the outfield
bleacherS. Shortly thereafter, the
1eftlhander was again pitching
on local Sandlots.
The pitchers name was
Lefty" wooden: the bats
man, Roger Peckinpaugh; the
incident, the highspOt Of
WoOden's baseball career.
Today, Lefty" whose given
name is Milton, is chiefly known
as one Of the stellar duckptnners
of. the Junior Order League,
which wallops the pins on the
Recreation alleys. But many old
timers, watching him cut down
the pins, recall, with pleasure,
the days when he used to turn
back the best hitterS washington
could provide with monotonouS
ease. Followers Of the duckpin
game also remember him as a
member Of the famous roofing
trio, with Buck Oliveri and Henry
TAFT Rodier, who trailed along
whenever Washington all-Star pin
teams went transforming.
After a tWo-year lay-off, in
which he bowled on rare occa-
sions, Lefty" is now back in
regular competition, rolling with
Burnett No. /, and is sporting a
snappy l08 average, which Is an
average no one need be ashamed.
An added attraction will be
served at the Greek-Italian
scuffle on the Rendezvous al
Ieys Saturday night. The
second five best Italians will
battle the second five best
Greeks in match which will
be rolled ut the same time ~
the final block Of the set-tO
started ut the Coliseum.
This arrangement will give the
fans a chance to cast q critical
eye on the ability of the up.and.
,sconing stars of these two groups.
The Greeks will pick their two
teams from George Mantzouris.
Charles Lampiris, Lefty PouloS,
Louis Chipouras, George Draco-
poulos, Gus Tompros, Louis
pantoS, Pete Metrakos, Andrew
PanoS, William Christopher, Nick
ChaconaS, and Gus Places.
The Italians will choose their
stalwarts from Ollie Pacini, Tony
kSantini, Joe Pricci, Joe Freschi,
Johnny Micro, Mike Vitale, Leo
Rina1di, Johnny Morisi, Louie
Bombrest, Louie FreSchi, Niva
Bombrest, and Pete Coccuzzi.
al Fischer handed Sam Benson
= trimming the other day, and it
got under the Georgetown aces
skin. Grabbing AL by the lapel
lpf his coat, Sam glared at him,
and pointing to Dave Burrows,
t1e Missed:
"See him. Well, you get
George Isenann, and he and
viii give you and George the
darnest trimming you two ever
got"
"Oh! Yeah" said Al, arching
his eyebrows. "AM right. But
You had better get another guy
TO roll with you, If you want
60 make il an even match"
"Oh! Yeah!" retOrted Sam.
"Just as two Is all we need.
Wen take you like Grant took
Richmond"
So George Isemann, who likes
TO pound naples equally as much
as expound them, has another
match on his hands. The funny
part Of it is, al hasn't been able
to notify gorgeous George as yet.
