Mccarthy Sold, Surkont Aired

Boston, April 20 -- CUP) - First Baseman Johnny Mccarthy of the Boston Braves was sold today to Minneapolis of the American Asso- citation, and rookie pitcher Max Surkont was returned to the St. Louis Cardinals because of sore arm.
 Mccarthy, now 33, was sold to make way for Ray Sanders whom the Braves acquired Monday along with Surkont from the Cards. A na- tive of Chicago, he broke in with the New York Giants in 1897 and later was traded to the Braves. Be- fore entering the Navy in l943, he batted BOA for the Boston Club in 7S games.
 When Surkont reported to the Braves with a sore arm, he was ex- anined by the club physician who said he had an elbow irritation which might take several months to heal. Owner Sam Reardon of the Cards agreed to take him back and cancel that part of the recent deal.

BoseboII Guild Seeks Name Head

Boston, April 20-(UP) The new ly-organized Am CT C n Baseball Guild seeks a former big league star such as Babe Ruth, Iris Speaker or Jimmy FoxX to head it's drive to un- ionize professional ball players.
 Robert Murphy the Guilds labor relations adviser, said the new un- ion was looking for a president who would have the respect of players, club owners and fans alike. A form CT player, he added, would be fam liar with "the wrongs that need fighting"
 The AB.C's purpose, according to Murphy, is to accomplish through arbitration what some players are trying to accomplish by jumping to the New Mexican League.
 We've lost IS or 20 players 10 the Mexican League already" he remarked. and we may lose even more. If they had been satisfied in the American and National Leagues they naturally would have remained in this country It's our aim to in- prove salaries, player conditions and contracts SO that players will be satisfied"
 Murphy expressed enthusiasm for round-table radio discussions with Major League club owners on the subject of unions in baseball
 Though the Guild has refused to divulge the names of any of it's members, Murphy admitted that the owners of at least two eastern di- vision clubs knew which of their players belonged.

This SpOrtingl !. World {
High School Mines Get Of A-WinginR!
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

It may just be possible, because of the chin-music throughout the sports world relative to Uncle Mike Jacobs $l00 per seat tickets for the Louis-Conn repeater in June: Lippy Durocher's rookie find, pitcher Behrman, and the opening of the brook trout season yesterday that the baseball performances of all three public high school squads were given no more than passing notice.
 With football rather than base ball weather prevailing this week, Wilby, Crosby and Leayenworth won their first local games of the sea- son, none of them defeated, though Tech played a 10 inning 3-3 stand off in Seymour last Tuesday.
 What I should like to particularly call attention to at this time was the PITCHING turned in by the local high school moundsmen. An- sonia batters got but hits off Wilby;s Jimmy Ahrcns; Taft Prep sluggers were good for only hits off Russ Hansen of Crosby in 2 inning game; while Watertown stickers got to Leavenworths Al Leach for only hits in 10-5 game won by Tech, no one getting more than one hit; Watertown's first sacker, O'Neil whacking triple. Ahrens of Wilby, a speedy football CT, by the way, turned in a particu- larly fine job against the Copper City boys, usually a tough club for Wilby to beat in any sport; though rival pitcher Big Tom Casagrande touched Ahrens for two Of the three hits allowed. Oddly enough, also was the fact that Faubel, rival pitcher to Hansen of Crosby, got 2 of the 4 hits allowed Taft batters.
 Tn the hitting department, Leav- enworth's Jimmy Piersall is the eavy sticker" of the early games,
 ting five hits in two tests
 inst Seymour and Watertown,
 luding home run and three agger. Wilby's Ricutti, an outfield- CT hit a single and double against Ansonia; while Crosby's shortstop and second Sacker, Jake Lawlor and Nick Barone belted out two hits apiece, one Of them a double by Barone.
 Of course, the fact of first games played and the cold weather caused plenty of juggling of the ball, but, everything considered the local high school lads did themselves proud in convincing fashion by getting off on the right foot" which gives prom ise of continued success to come.

Peglers Won
 U. s. Rubber Pin Cr0On

The Peglers from the Gaytees De- partment, led by Captain Tony Ba- chinsky, bowled over all opposition Thursday night taking four straight games and thereby clinching the championship of the United States Rubber Company 1nter-Department Bowling League.
 Ending up in last place at the close of the first round hostilities, the Gaytees gang rolled into high gear during the second round and upon completion of the regular schedule last Tuesday night they were tied for first place with Charlie Johnson's Waterproof Packers, each showing 26 wins as against 2 losses.
 Tn last nights roll-off, GayteeS were lucky in eeking out a win over the Packers by a 9 pin margin in the first game, but in the second game the Bachinsky men were real- ly on their toes getting enough marks to win by 25 pins.
 The second match of the even- ing paired the Gaytees rollers against Joe Pereira's Tennis Stitch CTS, first round winners, for the league championship. Gaytees real- fly split the tilnbers in the first game, posting a 63l for high game Of the evening and defeating their oppo- nenss by 60 pin margin. The Stitchers frightened up in the next game and in a thrilling battle right to the finish, the contest was de- cided by the narrowest of one pin margins the game, match, and championship going to Gaytees.
 StandOut
 Stan Bottorf, star of the Boot Room team, walked off with indi- vidual honors for the second round. He posted a l58 for high single game and then went on to cut the willows for a high of 425 in three games. Team honors were shared by Waterproof Packing and Tennis Stitching. The former rolled a 602 for high single game while the lat ter's mark of l70l was high enough to win the three game award
 The league season will be brought to a close next Tuesday with the annual banquet to be held at Fred s Highway Grill. E. T. McGrath, Di- rector of Employees Services at the Footwear Plant, will act as Master of Ceremonies. Individual and team prizes will be presented the win- ners, next years league officers will be elected, and entertainment will be provided.
