Poppy Howes,
Freshman at 33,
| Star for V. p. |.
By fhs Assoeio,sd Press


RICHMOND, Va, May 4.-Meet
John tPappy) Halves.
Hawes is the catcher on Vir-
ginia Techs 1948 baseball team
that today was resting in second
place In the State collegiate
standings with a record of six
victories and two defeats. Hes
80 years old-s freshman.
Hawes, an ex-soldier from
Alexandria. is leading the Cob
blers in runs batted in with IS,
and in batting with a fat aver
age OF 1857. He has an accurate
throwing arm, hasn't had a
stolen base charged against him.
And he hasn't been charged with
a passed ball.
Pappy broke into the Virginia
Tech lineup when Tom Kennedy,
regular catcher, suffered an in
Jured 1oot IN the G0bblerS' second
encounter of the season at Wof-
ford. He's been there most of
tine time since.
The Gobblers were trailing the
State collegiate-leading Virginia
Cavaliers and William and Marys
Indians, but they were certainly
proud of Hawes. His biggest
accomplishment this season prob
ably came in the Gobblers' 1919
loss April % to Virginia. In the
game with the Cavaliers, Halves
cracked a single and a home run
to drive in five runs.
Hawes played sandlot ball with
the Heurich Brewers in Wash
ington before entering the Army
in 1912.

lndions Engage Scout
To Seek Negro Players
BY the Associoted Press

CLEVELAND. May 4.-The Cleve-
land Indians announced today ar
rangements had been completed
with Abe Saperstein whereby his
organization would provide scouting
facilities for promising Negro ball
players.
Saperstein, who is the promoter of
the Harlem Globe Trotters profess
sional basket ball team and a for
mer owner of the Birmingham
Barons of the Negro American
League, has tar-flung organiza .

At night and are to be found in
Shoal waters. Many are running to
good size and as usual in the early
season seem to prefer blood worms
as bait, although shrimp also are
acceptable. Under these, conditions,
the hardhead is a very shy fish.
One must get the bait as far away
from the boat as possible and fish
as quietly as possible. But when
the fish does take hold, the angler
is in for real battle.
Maryland'S Commission OF Game
and Inland Fish has closed the
coming season on wild turkey in
Garrett County, Md, and elsewhere
limits the season from November Is
to 30, inclusive. This is due to the
dWindling number of wild turkey
ana is a much needed restriction.
With news of Senator Wilson'S
Dill to put striped bass under Fed
eral regulation comes report of the
passage of a bass bill by the Legis-
lature IN New Jersey. The measure
makes striped bass a sport fish by
setting the season In which it may
be taken from Jersey waters be-
tween April l and November 80, i'm
posing lO-a-day bag limit, an l8-
inch overall length limit and max
ing 1t illegal to take it by any other
method than by hook and line.
We're wondering just how long it
is going to take Maryland and Vir-
ginia to see the handwriting on the
wall and get together on some sane
program for protecting stripers in
their spawning waters. The rock
fSh situation in Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries long has been
dlSgraceful.

InfieId Whistles as 1t Works

robust wolf call. Cuisine Just
unlooses q plain old whistle.
It's not rare for ball players to
vent their appreciation in the old
American style by whistling, but
so much footing from one infield
is a bit unusual.
The Bucco lip doodlers all
claim the habit dates back to
knee-pants days.
All three insist q good loud
whistle does more for a pitcher
than a whole chorus OF chatter.
1T saves wear and tear on the
larynx. too,' chuckled Stevens.
Besides, you get in a rut II
you keep up that talking. You
find yourself saying the same
thing over and over again"
1T (the whistling) shows
pitcher the boys are pulling for
him." interjected Mel Queen, a
hurler. you get so you don't
notice that chatter behind you
until a whistle reminds you the
boys are back there"
Aside from morale purposes,
Stevens. Gustine and Murtaugh
all have something to whistle
about. Their work afield and at
bat to date has the fans footing
with them.

all three tournaments last year, one

and a third in California. The pic
ture became bit confusing.
The USGA is not bending over
backward to entice the junior golf
ers. Only boys who have not reached
their 18th birthday by August IA
will be eligible. and the USGA is
going to be strict as to who pays
the freight, If the boys are unable.
The entry fee will be higher than
the others and although all junior
amateurs regardless of club affilia-
tion will be eligible, the number of
berths will be limited.
But the USGA winner probably
will be recognized as the junior
champion of the country. 1t has the
backing of all the major golf asso-
Citations for its championship.
Locally, DR.. r. A. Keilty, USGA
representative in this section and
secretary of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association, will conduct the
sectional trials with Frank Enmet
the general chairman. The District
and Maryland Golf Associations will
assist.
The qualifying round for Mary

Public links players and sons of
club members will be eligible. The
number of places will depend upon
the number OF entries.
The tournament will be held at
Ann Arbor. Michigan. August lila
with the University of Michigan as
host. The USGA will handle the
entries with the deadline to be an

A second appeal from DR.. Keilty
was request for the amateur golf
