INTRODUCING
THE PIRATES

Editors note: This is the
first of a series of personality
sketches on members of the
Pittsburgh Pirates spending a
nine-day stay in Ell Centre.
Hot Potato" alias Luke Dan
iel Hamlin, is one of the Pitts
burgh Pirate pitchers who ar
rived in Ell Centre Tuesday to
spend part of the spring train
ing season.
Hamlin is So, stands six feet
two, weighs 173 pounds and is
now a resident of Holt, Michi-
gan. He pitches with a right
handed delivery and bats left
handed.
A New York sports write;
christened the Dig hurler with
the nickname. "HOt Potato"
because of his habit of juggling
the ball while standing on the
mound as if ii were too hot to
handle.
During his 14-year profession
al career, Hamlin has pitched
in eight different leagues, start
ing with Hanover in the Blue
Ridge league in 1923 and cur
rently working for the Nation
al league Pirates.
In seven years of major lea
que service Hamlin has won G3
and lost so, pitching llO9
innings in zoo games. Last year
he won eight and lost eight for
the Brooklyn Dodgers. During
the season he pitched 1876 in
nings in 20 games and had an
earned-run average of 4.24.

However, he managed to stay hot

Auto Repair

The Importance Of maintaining
already existing motor vehicles in
good repair is generally recognized
throughout governmental agencies.
and there is a definite desire 10
keep cars and trucks in operation,
but production OF replacement
parts will become Increasing diff
cult. despite relatively high pri-
GRITTY ratings.
Thus II. Herbert Hughes, ma
terialS expert for the Automobile
Manufact urers Association, de-
Scribed the current Washington
outlook for parts manufacture
during one Of the technical scs-
SionS Of the annual convention Of
the Society of Automotive EnGi-
ncerS.
Further. nc told the motor in
dustry'S technicianS, even if ma
terials proved adequate TO build
replacement parts IN volume, the
question Of availability of repair,
maintenance and operating equip
ment other than parts still would
cloud the outlook. Only a rcla-
lively few of tho thousands Of
automotive articles made from
rubber are permitted 10 be pro-
duccd. he pointed out, adding that
there is little hope for relief
