Basket Ball Costoffs Shine for G. u. Nine
Al Naples Conno Give Hoyos Smooth DoubePoy Combination

Judge didn't know he was get

rolled at Georgetown because

Hoya court coach, had seen Al
play at st. Peters High School,
having lived in the same neigh

nors at Regis High m New York
City and took q liking to him,
after Connors scored 80 points
against Iona Prep.
But Connors mysteriously lost
his scoring eye after arriving at
the Hilltop and was soon out Of
basket ball. Naples spent most
of the time on the bench, al
though ne did get 10 points
against Nays Plebes in a post
season game. AL was rated q
top-notch floor general. but
against sky-scraper competition
the going was rather rough. So
baseball became the chief outlet
for their energy and Judge is
duly thankful.
They're swell boys to work
with" says the coach. Il guess
you'd say Naples was the noisiest.

PHILADELPHIA. April 23.-
Billy Southworth hung dan

This Phillies club is a dam

The warning, from the head
man of National League pen

news to Ben Chapman and Bob
Carpenter. The Phils' manager
and owner spent the winter, and
a lot of money. seeking to bolster
the team that finished IN last

They got Haas and Miller from
Cincinnati, Sisler in a swap with
the st. Louis Cardinals, and
picked up Ashburn and several
other hopefuls from the Phlls'

In the first two games against
Boston the Phils displayed a

Al Naples, Joe Con
By Lewis F. Atchison

"Evers to Tinker to Chance"
Chicago fans chanted in the
horse-and-buggy era Of base
ball. Washington supporters
kept the tune, but changed the
words to Peck to Harris to Judge
in 1924 and '25. But at George
town these days it's Naples to
Connors to Di Leo, and they all
mean the same thing-a smooth,
smart double-play combination
around the keystone.
Best looking college boys I've
seen around the bag" says Coach
Joe Judge. They know how to
handle themselves and what to
do with the ball. They're good
insurance when the other teams
got a man on first and you're in
a hole"
Di Leo is a newcomer to the
act, but last year Naples and
Connors engineered 80 double
plays in 81 games. 1t was a
record for this neck of the woods
and some Hilltoppers believe 1t
might have been national
mark. This season the pace has
been slower, with only seven to
date, but their fielding is as
sharp as ever. The Hoya hurting
corps might have something to
do with the lag in production.

Superb Pitching
Has Tigers, As
Leading Parade
Bosox, Chisox Handed
Third Defeats; PhiIs,
Cards Finally Bow
By Joe Reiehler
Assoeioisd Press Sports Writer

II the Detroit Tigers and Phil
adelphia Athletics had more batting
punch to back up their strong pitch
ing stats, they and not the New
York Yankees and Boston Red Sox
probably would be the co-favorites
for the American League flag.
There seems little doubt the
Tigers and Athletics possess the
best mound corps in the junior
circuit.
Currently they are leading the
parade with three victories and mo-
defeats each. And it takes no Sher-
lock Holmes to come up with the
reason-flne pitching plus clutch
hitting.
Take yesterdays games, for ex-
ample. The Tigers got only six hits
of Rookie Howard Judson and Ike
Pearson, yet defeated the White Sox
in Chicago, 80 Virgil Fire) Trucks
went the route for Detroit, yielding
eight hits. He walked one and al
lowed one extra-baSe hit.
Detroit, As Hurlers Stingy.
That made it only % hits and 7
runs given up by Detroit hurlers
in three games, an average of less
than eight hits and about two runs
per game. Hal Newhouser yielded
two runs and eight hits opening
day and Dizzy Trout and Stubby
Overmire gave up three runs and
seven hits Wednesday. The Tigers,
meanwhile, accumulated only 27 hits
and II runs themselves.
Philadelphia pitchers have been
equally effective. Joe Coleman yes
terday became the first Athletic
hurler to fail to go the distance,
but some splendid relief pitching by
Bob Savage helped the Mackmen
nip the Red Sox in Boston, 5-3.
Savage held the slugging Red Sox
to one hit in a three-inning chore.
He was credited with the victory
when the AS scored two runs in the
ninth as Rightflelder Sam Mele
lost Barney McCosky's fly ball in
the sun.
The Red Sox could muster only
eight safeties off Coleman and Saw
age for a total of only 10 hits and
nine runs in 20 innings against
Philadelphia pitching. That's an
average of six hits and three runs
per game.
Brawl in National League.
On the other hand, the Red Sox
and Yankee pitchers have been
faring badly. The Sox have used
seven pitchers in three games and
the Yankees six.
The National League race, as pre-
dicted, already is showing signs OF
turning into a free-for-all. With
only four playing days gone, every
club has been beaten at least once.
The st. Louis Cardinals and Phila-
delphia Phillies, last of the unbeat-
ems, got their first Ickings yester-
day. The Cards were edged out by
the Cincinnati Reds in st. Louis,
4-3, while the Boston Braves wal
loped the Phils in Philadelphia,
1914.
In the other National League
games the Brooklyn Dodgers de-
feated the Giants in New York,
6-3, and the Pirates shut out the
Chicago Cubs in Pittsburgh, 80
The Yankees, st. Louis Browns.

While attending Usage high,
Dale met the former Miss Doro-

They were married on June
16, 1885, at the Methodist
church in Waukegan with the
Rev. Martin officiating.
Although Dale worked at
the shoe trade with his father,
when he first came to Zion, he
later became affiliated with

work in the Zion Store under
the management of Louis

a shoe repairman for a period
of over 80 years and needs no
introduction to Zion residents.
Besides the expert repair
services provided at the MAIDEN
Shoe store, MAIDEN specializes
in a high grade of economical
ly priced shoes including Num-
Bush, and Robes for men, and
Health Spots for the entire
family, as we'll as the popular
Great Scott shoes for the grow
ing child. The MAIDEN store also
carries corrective shoes for the
ladies. Assisting Dale in the
repair department is Chester
Young, a man who inherited
the trade from his father and
grandfather, both of whom
had devoted their entire lives
to cobbling.
Although Dale is not a ma
tive of Zion, the family may
be traced to the early days of
the community. His father and
mother, originally residents of
Iowa, were attracted to Zion
in the beginning of the city
through the ministry of John
Alexander Dowie and for eight
years from 1904 to 1912, lived
on farm in North Prairie,
owned by Samuel MAIDEN,
Dale's grandfather.
Mr.. and Mrs. MAIDEN moved
to farm near Osikas, Mime
sofa, small farming communl-
ty $50 miles northwest of Min
neapolis and st. Paul in 1902.
Two years later Dale, the old
est of three children, was born
April 8, 1914.
Although Dale started his
education in his native COM
munity, entering Osikas' kin
dergarten, he attended four
different grade schools before
completing his elementary edu-
cation at Independence, Iowa,
in the spring of 1929.
Dale entered Independence
high school as a freshman in
the fall of 1929, but before his
first year was completed, the
family moved again, this time
to Usage, Iowa, his mothers
home town. Here Dale COM
pleted his high school educa-
ton and was graduated in the
spring of 1884.
Although Dale admits that
he didn't grind out any scholar
ships at Usage high, he did es-
tablish quite a record in ath-
letics, starring four years in
football, basketball and track.
Playing forward on the
Usage prep basketball team,
Dale led the team in scoring
three years and, in those days
of low scoring basketball, was
something of a sensation, av-
eraging anywhere between
five and eleven baskets a game.
During this period Usage cap
tured the Northeastern Iowa
conference cage title three sue
cessive years.
On the football team MAIDEN
played end his sophomore year,
and was shifted to the back
field in his junior and senior
years. AS halfback he gained
