spot that he has been seeking.
Solters is a high fly-ball hitter
and the new stands at Fenway

habits. Last season Solters was
used as a pinch hitter until Man

TONY BURRUTO TO TRY AGAIN AFTER II UNLUCK
WILL MANAGE
BLUE FLAME
THIS YEAR
By SID KATZNELL


For IA years, Tony Burruto. has
managed sandlot baseball teams.
Although he has finished in the
money every time, he has yet to
win a championship.
His best team was T. T. Keane
seniors Of 1927. They won 26 con-
secutive games before being
stopped by st. Johns High School,
which had one of the strongest
mines in scholastic circles. And
even with that great team, Bur-
ruto failed to win the senior crown
in the Petworth League, finishing
second to Tremonts, who surprised
by winning the championship.
Started in 1920
Burruto started his managerial
career in 1920, at the tender age
OF IL summers, handling the South
Capitol Midgets. Since then he has
managed the Congressional Jun
iorS, T. T. Keane Seniors, Giro
Italian Village. and Certified Bar
berS.
Tony was a pretty good player
himself. He pitched for the T. T.
Keane in 1927, and won IA games
and lost three.
The game he will remember as
long as he lives is the game in
which he held the Aztecs hitless
for eight and two-thirds innings,
only to see his bid for the sand
lot hall of fame shattered by an
infield hit.
Incidentally, Pee Wee Walker,
who later starred at Western
High and Maryland University,
was his opposing pitcher.
Burruto is credited with de-
veloping such renowned players
as "Pepco" Barry, Joe Freschi,
Earl Irish" Long, Frank DiNenna
and Ed Colliflower.
Guides Blue Flame
This year Tony has taken the
Blue Flame Valet unlimited team
under his wing, and has entered
the National City League, where
he expects to break all precedents
and win the title.
He has three of his old players
back in Irish" Long, Frank Di-
Nenna and Ed Colliflower. These
players are augmented by Mike
Gass, Smokey" Wilmer, Charles
Mahaney, Jake Lewis, George
Mosedale, Jack Casper. Nellie
Jett, Jessie Bowie and Pete
mgraham.
Frank DiNennat and Tony
Burruto are the Damon and
Pythias Of the sandlots, having
played together for the past IA
years.

dent Clark Griffith picked up
from the Albany club during the
winter: also the man he decided
to keep when the problem came
up, about two weeks ago, which

He Hits EN- Far
Heralded as a hitter Of parts,
Dugas really came into his own
yesterday by banging out three
singles and a home run in five
trips to the pan.
All four Of the young out.
fielder's hits were Of the solid Va.
riety. In the first inning, he sin.
gled to right. scoring a moment
later on Dave Harris triple to
deep left.
In the second inning he
ploughed single on a line over
second base. in the fourth he
pushed a single past third, and in
the fifth he wound up" and gave
the ball real ride to right field
for typical big league homer, II
ever there was one.
Job Seems Solid
Hitting like this Just about
made DugaS' job certain with the
Griffs today. Not that his posi-
ton hasn't been settled since the
departure of Sington, but the
fact that both President Clark
Griffith and Manager Joe Cronin
have been waiting all this time
to see for themselves whether
the performer was as good at
bat as his record has pictured
him to be.
Today their opinions on the
player were that he'd do. All Of
which offers the though that the
little outfieider will be given sew
eral opportunities to deliver for
the Griffs this season, both as q
substitute performer for one Of
the regulars should an accident
occur, and as pinch hitter.
Russell and Prim Hurl
The GriffS won yesterdays
game, as mentioned, l3 to 2,
chiefly because they were offered
little opposition by the AviatorS.
The nine innings helped the team
to sharpen it's batting eyes, how
ever, as the particular work Of
Dugas proved.
Jack Russell and Ray Prim
hurled for Manager Cronin, and
both turned in excellent efforts.
The Aviators couldn't touch Rus
sell. His curve ball and fast one
came at such fine clip that only
one hit could be garnered off his
delivery-that coming in the sixth
when a performer by the name
of Ray scratched an infield single
to Kerr, playing second base.
Prim gave up two hits in three
innings. Both came in the ninth
when the Sailors scored their only
markers. One was a triple off
Shaw's bat, the other a single by
Redden.
Dave Harris, Fred Schultz, and
Elmer Klumpp helped Dugas with
the 18-hit attack the Griffs staged.
Harris got single and triple:
Schultz, two doubles and single.
and Klumpp, two singles and q
triple.

DENYING he held that everything is
wrong with the past and recognizing
that I'VE need the wisdom OF age TO

declared: Youth should not allow
age to dominate its thoughts. Listen,
but do not always follow. Think Tor

Young people desiring public
career, he advised, should strike out
for themselves and not become part
of a political machine.
Machine politics, he pointed out,
give recognition to service to the
machine rather than service to the
voters. A career in public office
should be started early in life, he
advised. and, for the man who falls
in it, should terminate early.

The failure of the proposed merger

was attributed by the presidents OF

the organizations to give up their
identity. For the past two months

Wilbur Heekin, president of the
Capitol Hill group. declared that the
consolidation of the two clubs was
opposed by his organization, although
