Despite the enthusiasm Of men like
President George P. Marshall and
the husky bunch of men the Skins

club is about lost in the seething,

the normally placid, sleepy little
town of San Diego is ingulfed.
So far in their training chore the
Skins hardly have caused ripple

few miles from the Pacific and the

in comparative isolation. Outside
the shrine folk, the athletic heroes
who are the world football cham

San Diego.
Normally San Diego is a city of
about 100000 people, but today it
is overrun with more than half a
million folks. The elderly couples

took from the Tigers their best
hitter of 1912. While he did not
quite reach the 300 mark in De-
troit's collection of weak stick
ers, Barney was tops among his

better than a 800 hitter. was far
below caliber.
Thus, the kid from University

Steve O'Neill's aging athletes.
O'Neill, who managed Beau
mont's Texas League champions
last year believes Wakefield Is
capable OF hitting big league
pitching and that he will be a
batting star in the American
League.
Wakefield compiled a brilliant
batting record in the Texas loop
last season. Whether he can APP
proach the accomplishments OF
his minor league experiences Is
something else again. At Beau
mont. in 149 games, Wakefield
averaged .345. He scored 100
runs. rolled up 1872 hits and 277
total bases. He banged out A
doubles. seven triples and nine
home runs. He led the Texas
loop in hits, total bases and two
base blows. He batted in over
100 runs.
