A team Of stars, it's often been
said, is q team where individuals
rule.
However, there are exceptions
to all rules as in the case Of the
NRA nine, now making real i'm
preston on the local sandlot fans.
This club boasts collection OF
stars all right-from the top Of
the lineup to the pitcher, and the
most important item about the
situation is the fact that no one
man is playing his head off for
some individual record.
Instead, the big idea is for team
play-something every serious
minded m mayer dreams Of
whether he is directing a club in
the big leagues, minor leagues,
semipro circuits or SandlotS.
BOzek First Baseman
Well, to get right down to busi-
ness, the Recovery boys" possess
a collection of baseball players
well known to the newest of sand
lot followers.
For example, Johnny Bozek,
famous for his athletic endeavors
at Gonzaga and Georgetown Uni
versity in years past, is the first
baSeman of the team. Bill Rapp,
jr., son Of the late Cleveland indian
scout, is the third sacker. LOTS"
Zahn, captain of the George
Washington University nine, is
the second baSeman, while Willis
Benner, formerly of Tech High
and Maryland University. is the
Shortstop.
In the outfield is Joe Freschi,
who once had a trial with the
New York Yankees; Huck Hilleary,
famous for his Sandlot days with
the old KnickerbockerS, and Pepco
Barry, well known for his sandlot
exploits, and more Familiarity
known for his efforts as a minor
league ball player.
Behind the bat is "TotS" Long,
another luminary among the sand
lot elite, while in the pitchers
box Lefty Stevens and Dick Ian
ahan, left-handers, hold forth.
Both Stevens and Lanahan are
veterans when it comes to local
experience, Stevens, several years
ago, pitched for Central High
School, while Lanahan hurled
Eastern High to a championship
only a couple of years ago.
Barry Experienced
Getting back to Pepco Barry,
one of the teams outfielderS,
this lad is the real veteran. His
experience is quite valuable to
his new club as he puts into his
play that certain poise which is
lacking in most outfielders now
performers on the local sand
lots. Recently Barry was a mem
Der Of the Scranton club of the
New York-Pennsylvania League.
He was getting along in splen-
did fashion until hit on the head
by a pitched ball. Then his hit
ting fell off to such an extent
he was released. However, now
he is slugging the pill with all
his old-time gusto, and with it
the NRA's are benefiting greatly.
And so We have the dope" on
one of the latest sandlot clubs
organized here in Washington.
It's team of stars, yes, but in
this case it's a team that is win
ming games aplenty, confounding
all those "bits" about tradition
and what-have-you.
