GIOVANETTT FOLLOWS FATHERS FOOTSTEPS
Stars for Piqs
B.. In National
CityLoo.p
BY SID KATZNELL


You have heard this saying at
least a dozen times, Like father,
like son." but it fits like a glove
In this particular case.
Carlton Giovanetti, lean second
sacker Of the Dixie Pigs, in the
National City League, is certainly
like his father when it comes to
playing baseball. Oldtimers re-
member Cartons father, John
"Givvy" Giovanetti, one Of the best
catchers to ever don a mask, and
one Of the best sluggerS who ever
stepped to the plate on the local
SandlotS.
Timely Hitter
Although Carlton is not the
slugger that his father was, but
he Is a timely hitter, having the
uncanny- ability Of producing
bingles with men on the bases.
According to close Sandlot OBJ
servers, Carlton is the foremost
fielding second sacker on the
SandlotS today.
Young Giovanetti will be guard
ing the keystone sack for the Dixie
Pigs when they tangle with the
Plaza Wine and Liquor nine Sun

City League. The game starts at

, That's the bitter truth. This
string-bean Of a pitcher came UP
with the bases damned and
slapped q single to left field that
sent two runs Scampering over
the plate: In Washington, he
made a hit that started trouble.
Bonura hit q line drive back at
Eddie Linke In the second, clip
ping him in the hip. Linke has
now been hit on the head, on the
pitching hand, on the shin and
ON the hip. One more and he'll
rate a wound stripe.
You have to award the Scotch
cross to Jimmy Dykes. He takes
no chances. Shooting from be-
hind Q 7-run lead in the second,
he sacrificed and then a run
scored on a grounder by Sewell.
Attaboy, Jimmy; every run
counts.
Dixie Walker almost played a
fly by Myer into a base hit, but
made the catch on a lastsecopd
grab.
Mule Haas slashed q single
to center and Dixie Walker then
came to- the fore with q poke
bunt past Linke and inside Of
Lewis for a hit. The hard-hit-
ting Bonura then walloped q
single to center scored Haas.
Les Tietje, former white Sox
