Kensington Tossing

Former Terps Pack Team
For Big Bottle With
CoIesviIIe Sunday

Almost an all-college lineup. with
emphasis on Maryland. will take the
field for Kensington Sunday when
it tackles the Colesville Cardinals at
Garrett Park in a "ker r-oo-shul"
Montgomery County League game.
Action is scheduled for 3 o'clock on
Corby Field.
Kensington is a half-game ahead
of its old rival in one of the hottest
flag squabbles in league history.
Each team has won II games, but
Colesville dropped three to Kensing-
tons two. A sipup at this time
might prove fatal to Kensington's
pennant aspirations, but with a
power-laden crew at his command
Manager Skip" Faber expects to
put the silencer on Colesville's heavy
artillery.
Weidinger Goes to Slab.
Faber, who gained fame as one OF
Maryland's bantam football centers,
will start Charley Weidinger on the
mound. Chubby Cholly was con-
sistently good pitcher for the Old
Line nine as well as a notorious
passer for the eleven a couple Of
years ago and apparently has lost
none of his fash or power since
joining the alumni ranks.
Another well known Terp will be
at third in the person of amiable
Eddie johnson. son of the Big
Train" who abandoned an idea Of
diamond career in favor of horse
breeding. Eddies bat has been a
veritable stick of dynamite this sea-
son, although his average fell OH
to .599 in the last two weeks. He
was we'll over the 600 mark.
Dick Cleveland, star outfielder on
Maryland's last freshman team, and
Bucky Buscher, who won his spurs
under Coach Burt Shipley several
years ago. will round out the Terp
contingent. Both are pounding the
pill as Justify as stake-drivers.
Schildt Is Catching Star.
Rounding out the outfield will be
Woody Putnam. former Georgetown
athlete. Notre Dame is represented
at shortstop by clever Johnny Brad
dock, a cracker jack fielder. while
Lou Mizell, one-time Gettysburg
College star, handles the second base
chores.
One of Fabers prize packages is
a non-college man. however. His
name is Ted Schildt and he does
the catching. Schildt is member
Of c. c. c. Camp 356, located In
Garrett Park. of which Faber is
educational adviser.

perch, spot and the usual hard
heads-and a whale Of a rescue
yarn.
The incident occurred in late
afternoon, when mass of inky
black clouds suddenly blotted out
the sun and young gale trumpeted
in in one of the heaviest rain
storms of the summer. Caught in
the teeth of the blow fishing in a
14-foot boat equipped with an out
board motor were AL Hancock and
son Relman and Lee Grimm.
They noticed the atmospherical
disturbance and tried to beat it
back to port. but their combined
efforts couldn't coax the motor into
action and they were alternately
priming it and blessing it when the
downpour struck Oars were use
less and in the excitement Relman
dropped his emergency whistle over
board. To make matters worse the
heavy sheet of rain was so dense
at times you couldn't see from bow
to stern.
Relman. who developed his lung
power booing sandlot umpires. de-
cided good below might get re-
suits and let out one heard above
the wind and rain all the way on
shore. 1t also aroused Sharkey from
a reverie. He couldn't see the boat
in distress. but his party decided
to put around in the general direc-
ton of the shout. Relman yelled
again and Sharkey's crew followed
the sound like a radio beam, arriv-
ing at the stricken craft as it was
about to go under with water al
most up to the gunwhales.
Relman, member of The Stars
pressroom crew. admitted it was a
big relief to see the rescue party
They didn't wait to be pulled on
board, he said. but jumped head
first. And, adding woe to consterna

caught.

titled as "the Swede." The latter,
