One-Armed Pete Gray Is Back
In Baseball for Last Chance
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ELMIRA, N. Y, May 20.-Pete
Gray, the one-armed outfielder
from Nanticoke, Pa, who played
in the big leagues during the war,
is back in organized ball. 1t
probably is his last chance.
After a wartime furry at
Memphis in the Southern Asso-
citation where he hit 1888, stole
60 bases and had IS extra base
hits Pete went up to the st.
Louis Browns. In I945 he hit
only .2ls against big league
pitching and the next year az
Toledo he batted $50 IN 40
When Gray refused to report
for the money offered in l947, ne
sat out the year on the sus-
pended list. $1,000
This spring, at an admitted
age of 81, the balding Pete
wanted to give organized oa1
another whirl, 50 the Browns
sent him to their Class A Eastern
League farm. 49,.
Everyone is roofing tor the
softspoken lefthander, including
the $500 who jammed Elmlra Is
ball park for the first game IN
which Pete started.
Grav put on a show for the
Sunday crowd.
Hitting from the No. spot
pete came to bat in the f1rst
inning with a runner on nrst
base. His tap back to the pitcher
resulted in a force at second out
there was no chance for a double
play. Pete then stole second out
was left stranded.
Gray dunked a single into ielt
field opening the third ana
scored from first on a double: In
the fourth he singled to right
and again stole second Wnen
the harried catcher threw the
ball into center field. Then ne
scored the winning run when the
next batter raped = single 10
center.
That second stolen base, how
ever. cost Pete and Elmlra
plenty. He pulled a muscle ana
sat out the rest of the game.
When Gray gets back In shape,
Elmira Skipper Pack Rogers
hopes he'll have q regular
fielder.

Eastern Big Favorite
In High Track Meet

The District public high school
championship track meet scheduled
tomorrow at Central is shaping upI
as a battle for runnerup position.
Easten already has tried the crown
for size and found it a perfect f1t.
The Ramblers qualified 81 men in
the trials held yesterday, while their
nearest opponent. Coolidge, came up
with only nine. Central qualified
seven. Tech six, defending cham
pion Wilson five, Roosevelt four and
Western and Anacostia each three,
Eastern further demonstrated its
strength by smashing records in
three events. Fleet-footed Forrest
Miles covered the 100-yard dash IN
90 seconds to better the mark OF
10 fiat set by Dick Dear of Central
more than 40 years ago and since
tied by many others.
Otis Brown set new marks in the
shot-put and discus. He tossed the
shot So feet 2ila inches to better the
mark of so feet inches made by
Jimmy Kurt of Central in 1912
Brown heaved the discus l25 feet
7 inches to break the record OF l24
feet 6 inches made by Morgan OF

was better than the fourth-string
rating Tatum gave him. He had
something nice to, say about all
his coaches, with Bryant the
favorite.
I'VE hated Spears in practice
because he worked the pants of
U.s." Behr recalled, but we all
liked him off the field. He sure
did have a lot of funny express
sions and could give you a good
tongue lashing.'
He thought the players re-
spected Shaughnessy more than
the others but that the veteran
mentor was too easy on them.
Sammy thinks he'll hit it of
all right with the Redskins. He
remembers their visits to Col
lege Park when Dud De Groot
was at the helm and thinks Mr..
Baugh, Mr.. Moore and the others
were right nice men. He called
them all mister. too, so If cock
mess was the sin that led to his
downfall at Maryland last year
he won't be guilty of it with the
Redskins.
