Schultz, the guy who was too tall
to get into the army, is the man.
Highpockets Howie, who placed
a college education ahead of a
career with the Dodgers. was late
in reporting because he wanted to
get his degree from Hamline Uni
versity at st. Paul where he cre-
ated quite q stir as an amateur
basketball player last winter.
The 6-foot 7-inch youngster,
now in his third season with the
Dodgers despite the fact he is
only % years old. moved into
Brooklyn a little more than two
weeks ago. and since that time
the Dodgers have moved from
fourth place to the league lead.
While he has not been tangibly

noted for coming through in the
pinch and he played the role to
perfection last night as the
Dodgers subdued the Giants, 2 to
l. in 13 innings.
The Dodgers, who haven't been
lacking for base hits, were hav-
ing their troubles against Harry
Feldman of the Giants in a night
game at Ebbets Field. They didn't I
score until the last of the ninth
when Goodwin Rosen singled,
moved up on an error and came
home on Dixie Walkers one
baser. Ace Adams, who took over
for Feldman, and Clyde King,
Dodger relief pitcher, settled
down into a duel and it looked
as if the game might go on in
definitely. Schultz broke il up.
Miffed because manager Mel
OFT of the Giants had passed two
players, Walker and Luis 'Olmo,
to get to him in the thirteenth,
Schultz promptly screeched a sim
gle into center to score the game
winning run. The victory in
creased Brooklyns lead over the
idle Pirates TO a game and half.
