Teen-Agers Get
NQis1 Chance
Oakland.
NOT Up TO USUAL

Oakland.
NOT UP TO USUAL
Admittedly, the competition in
the double-A Coast League isn't
quite up to pre-war standard-but
these boys have been looking SO
good in their first series that al
ready the big league scouts are
drooling.
Let's take a look at the record:
In five games against the Port
land Beavers, young Picetti, who
was an all-American high school
star last year and played in the
New York Esquire-sponsored game,
handled himself thusly:
came to bat 81 times, scored four
runs, got nine hits, including four
doubles, drove in five runs and had
a batting average of .428.
That's heavy stickWork in any
league and if the lad can come
within 100 points of retaining that
average by the seasons end he
would carry a fancy price tag for
the majors.
AS pitcher, young master Hicks
has made only one appearance
but what an impression.
FIRST BIG CHANCE
TIE southpaw drew a Sunday
starting assignment against the
tough San Francisco Seals before
a crowd of 12,00C 1t was his first
really big" chance and all he did
was go 10 innings to earn a 81
decision.
Hicks has had two seasons of play
in the lower minors-class D Hag-
erstown. Pa, and class B James
town, N. Y.-plus a short fling in
the army.
Ken allowed only nine hits over
the 15-inning stretch and pitched
no-hit bail the final four frames.
He struck out eight batterS and
walked nine.
The purchasing line. gentlemen,
forms at the right
