coming to its turn as leader OF the

The leading wave gained swiftly
in height and speed as the wall Of

pushed against it, and the rushing

These rows Of waves were building

to paddle over the reef, ahead of

between two waves.

1-Gdne Pitcher
Gives But | Hit
BY JAKE BERsoN

Walt Kelly, curly haired 17-year-
old pitcher. appeared in only one
high school game this season--the
one that counted most.
Kelly. who has won five games
and lost one in the American
Legion League this year, turned
up on the mound for Catholic
Central High in the finals yester-
day and his one-hitter beat Lour-
des of River Rouge, 80. for the
Shamrocks' sixth Catholic League
First Division baseball champions
ship.
| Why Kelly did not apnear in "a
bfepTeaJpe before Esn Sc Explained
by the fact that Father, James K.
Martin, Catholic Central coach,
also handles Learned Post in the
American Legion League. At the
start of the season Father Martin
decided the Legion team needed
Kelly more than the school nine
did. The Shamrock coach was
within state prep rules by using
him on the school team yesterday
after he had competed in Legion
contests.
7RUNS IN FIRST
The Shamrocks, one of the best
prep baseball teams here in years,
could have gotten by Lourdes with
a lesser performance from Kelly,
but the seven runs his team gave
him in the first inning made no
