Things Box Score
Never Told Me

Travis jackson says that Hack VIII
son was the toughest slider of all the
men he ever tagged. He always was
thankful that Hack, who waited until
he was almost on the bag before COM
ing in feet first, did not use sharp
spikes. Dick BarteI's pet sliding
aversion was Riggs Stephenson, the
former Alabama football star, who Of
ten played football while coming into
the base. Both of them say that
the best thing about Pepper Martin IS
that he usually slides head first and
thus gives the base guardian some
chance.
Casey Stengers first manager told
him that he never would make good be-
cause he packed too much weight

Bill Terry believes that Pittsburgh
