him..
After only two intrasquad games,
Myatt has displayed he thrives on

double, but it is his fielding which
has captivated Bluege. Ossie rel
ishes Georges crisp socking of

Myatt might be too erratic at third
base. George rapidly is erasing that
apprehension.
Il like my third basemen to be
able to come in fast for those slow
rollers to the right of the pitcher" :"
says Ossie, "and Myatt showed me
Yesterday that he can do that. He's
covering ground nicely, hitting we'll

first base. He's giving us a grand
job.

He made a sweet play on Dutch
Leonard's third-inning bunt. too"
continued Bluege, who was referring
to situation wherein Gerry Priddy

and none out. Myatt swooped in on
Leonard's bunt and whipped the
ball to Eddie Lyons at second. fore

nicely and while he got only the

|Hoosman Talks Better
Than He Boxes, Loss
To Clancy Shows
By GEORGE Huber

Too bad about this Al Hoosman
the New York fighter who showed
up last night at Turner's Arena. We
had him mixed up with Al Hoosman
the New York fighter who was sup
posed to be rising threat among
the heavyWeightS, so interviewed
him early in the evening to get a
feature story for publication after
ne had beaten Colon CLANCY.
Only he didn't beat CLANCY, sc

how he had planned to be a lawyer
and was attending Los Angeles
Junior College and how he did so
good in amateur fights out there
that they" talked him into enter
ink the pro fight game to get that
easy dollar"
CLANCY Springs Surprise.
You know how that easy dollar
always looks good, so here I am
fighting, and it's too late to 60
back to law now. Anyway. the
fight game gets you after awhile. {"
Hoosman admitted, and I got to
like it all right-and that quick
dollar still looks good. But you
know he added, these fight dol
lars are aWfully hard to hold on
to-" Well, Hoosman isn't the first
! fighter to make that startling dis
covery.
But. being as Hoosman lost and
by big margin. there's no use in
writing a feature story about him.
Too bad, too. because 1t would be
a break for the fight writer's if he
gets to the top, He's easy to inter
view and has an interesting story
to tell all the time, a sharp con-
trast to the usual fighter whose
conversation consists of ives sir"

silent pauses in between
Chaney, a 10 and worse under
dog, won all except the last round
which went to Hoosman and the
eighth which was even. He slipped
in beneath Hoosman's stuck -out left
all the time to score with body
punches before tielng up his heavier
and taller opponent.
Main Fight Dull. Slow.
1t was dull, slow fight. and if it
hadn't been a main event of some
Importance it would have been booed
out of the ring. How HooSman ever
managed to beat Lee Savold, as he
did recently in Madison Square Gar
den is puzzle to District fight fans.

coached Anacostia High before the
war when Chief Guyon was in
charge of the Eastern diamonders,
They naturally were big neighbor-
hood rivals and tried every trick at
their command to outwit the other.
Guyon's big complaint was about
the pitching mound at Anacostia
which he claimed was built higher
than the permissible Is inches to
give Anacostia's tall hurlers a big
edee- He insisted on frequent meas
urements, but never was able to
prove anything.
Lund retaliated with complaints
about Eastern's hard clay skin in
held which gave fast hop to
hatted balls. That was okay for
Easterns fancy-dan infielders who
could handle anything, but Lund' S
slower boys had their troubles. Lund
insisted that the chief took par
ticular pains to water and roll the
tnfleld on the morning of dates
against Anacostia so it would be
cement hard and plenty fast by
afternoon. He, too. never was able
to prove anything.
Their feud ended in a draw one
afternoon when Anacostia showed
up at Eastern for a game and found
the Rambler pitcher equipped with
multi-colored sleeves to his shirt
The windup was dazzling and the
ball speeding plateward hardly could
be seen against the vari-colored
background. On Lund's complaint
the umpire forced the pitcher to
remove those fancy sleeves, and
everybody was happv.
