Terps Koyo G. w. in I'd Round
Of Stadium Grid Dates Battle

Georgetown and George Washing
ton always have worked as closely
as possible on Grifath Stadium mat
ters and the fact they both booked
games here on the same day was
the result of a misunderstanding.
With Maryland suddenly entering
the picture, the situation became
too confusing to work out to every
body's advantage.
It is known that Grifith Stadium
officials are obligated to Maryland
because the Mats trained at College
Park during the war years when
spring training below the Potomac
River was forbidden.
On the controversial October 16,
date on which the three teams
schedule major attractions, Mary
land first listed the game to be
played at Baltimore or Washington
but decided on Washington. The
Terps also have their own College
Park stadium.
Neither Georgetown nor George
Washington appeared pleased with
the situation but with Grifith Sta
dunn their only playing site, both
schools are noncommittal on the
subject,
George Washington has two
year contract with Duke and it is
almost certain the Blue Devils win
play here In l9lo-WHITTLESEY.

GEORGETOWN University used TWO

Long hit of the game was q triple

scored Bill Ferguson, who had
walked, and Hudak scored later on
a single by Ed McNeill. Dartmouth

continued with singles by Elmer
Raba, Frank Alagia and Ray Corley
and double by Johnny Moskal.

paugh, among others, branded him
as ready. Peck even went further;
he called Stallcup the greatest short
stop he's seen in 20 years.
This sort of praise doesn't exact
ly hurt the morale of Messrs. Neun
and Stallcup. but it is a fact that
Stallcup has yet to prove that he
can fill Miller's shoes. He figures
to do all right, but he hasn't done
so yet.
1 Stallcup isn't a power hitter, but
Hank Sauer~ is. at least in the
minors. Neun is looking to Sauer
to make good at long last and even
has announced his intention Of al
ternating Sauer in left field with
Augie Galan, whose .314 last year
stamped him as the best hitter on
the club. Sauer has been kicking
around within the Cincinnati organ
ization since 1941 without having
made good. 60 If he isn't ready now
it's not likely he ever will be. Here's
what he did in 1947 in the Inter-
national League:
He was voted the most valuable
player. He batted 1886. losing the
title by point. He was leader in
runs batted in with 141, in hits with
1872. in most runs scored with 1870
and in most total bases, 1862. He
belted so homers. but was second
when a rib injury shelved him for
nearly a month.
With Galan or Sauer in left,
Johnny Wyrostek in center and
frankie Baumholtz in right, Neun
is moderately wealthy in outfielders.
Babe Young is his first baseman,
Benny Bientara and Bobby Adams
will share second, Stallcup will be
at short and Grady Hatton, a COM
ing player, will be at third. With
Ray Lamanno and Ray Mueller to
catch Blackwell and less talented
pitchers, Cincinnati can field q
tough club.
1t isn't a great team. by any
means, but there's a certain amount
of ability and promise, and there's
good deal of hustle. -STANN.

The husky Wynn, making his
finest showing OF the spring exhibi-
ton games, rationed the Athletics
to one hit in six innings. Phila-
delphia nicked Scarborough for a
run with two out in the ninth after
Ray had retired seven batters in
order.
The Mats were granted few liber-
ties by huge Lou Brissie and Bob
Savage, who restricted them to six
hits, all singles.
Wind Hampers Hurlers.
A brisk wind, blowing in from
center field, hampered the effective
ness Of the pitchers and as result
Wynn and Brissie each walked four
in their Ginning chores.
Brissie, a 6-foot ~ Inch left
handler who won Is games and lost
8 with Savannah last year, pitches
with a leg which is protected from
knee to ankle by an aluminium brace.
He was hit by 81 German shell
fragments in the Apprentices and
went through 20 blood transfusions
and % leg operations after rejecting
the advice Of physicians who wanted
to amputate.
For the third time in exhibition
games the Mats negotiated double
steal when they scored two runs
off Brissie in the second inning
After Mickey Vernon lined out,
Sherry Robertson lashed a single
to center and Brissie filled the bases
by walking Larry Drake and Eddie
Yost.
Al Evans then slapped grounder
to Shortstop Eddie Joost, who fum-
bled the ball momentarily but re-
covered In time to force Yost at Sec
ond as Robertson scored. Evans
and Drake then worked the double
steal, with Drake on the business
end, before Brissie fired third
strike past Wynn.
Joost Again Micues.
Brissie was the victim of shoddy
fielding again in the third when
the Mats picked up another run.
With one out Eddie Lyons walked
and Coan slapped a grounder at
the jittery Joost, who tossed the
ball wildly past Pete Suder at Sec
ond base attempting to force Lyons.
Lyons continued to third and
Coan, trying to take second, was
nailed on the play and left the
premises with a puffed ankle as the
result of hooking his spikes in the
bag. Vernon then shot a single
past Joost, scoring Lyons.
Meanwhile the Athletics made
threatening gestures. With one out
in the first inning Elmer Valo
walked and after Sam Chapman
fouled out, valo stole second and
continued to third on Evans throw
into center field. He was stranded,

however. when Hank Majeski popped
to Lyons.
Rudy York opened the fourth
with well-kissed double, a drive
into the bushes bordering left-cen-
ter field for a ground rule hit. He
shifted to third after Majeski flied
to Drake in right field, but Buddy
Rosar fouled to Yost and Suder flied
to Tom Mcbride.
With two out in the fifth the AS
stirred up a scoring threat when
Wynn walked Barney McCosky and
Valo successfully, but the husky
Mats right-hander bore down and
Chapman grounded to Sullivan,
whose toss to Lyons forced Valo at
second.
Macks Avert Shutout.
Again in the ninth the AS jeop-
ardized the Mats shutout and this
time they succeeded In scoring.
With one out Majeski walked and
Rosar drilled a single to left, Ma
jeski stopping at second. In that
situation, Suder fouled to Vernon,
but Joost rammed a single to center,
scoring Majeski.
