 Lanky, but well built Steve George has been playing first base for the Bunker Hill Esauires n the Public Parks League since he was dlscharg- ed from the Navy about 2 month ago. And since that time has showed that he has the makings Of 2 ball player as is testified to by his modest 300 batting average and 1000 field ing average. Besides this Steve has had the experience Of playing against such big league stars as Stan Musial, Del Ennis and Schoolboy Rowe while with the Eva Marine Corps Flyers in the Pacific. Before coming out of the service he was of- fered chance to play ball with Detroit Pro outfit, but turned 1t down because of being anxious to return to Waterbury and his old pals, after being away for such a long time.
