Yost. Toward the end OF last
season was pulling those inside
pitches nicely"
After Physical Ed. Degree.
Yost's belated outbprst last year
supplied him with considerable
confidence. In the Mats final 13
games he was a 1888 hitter and
delivered two home runs-the
only ones of his major league
career.
A muscular 175-pounder. Eddie
is New York University physical
education student during the
winter, travelling an hour to and
from college every school day in
pursuit of a degree. One more
winter of jamming aboard a sub
way in Queens and journeying to
N. Y. U. will fulfill that ambi-
ton.
Eddie signed with the Mats by

playing with an East Orange,

Yost never has played a. minor
league game. although he once
wrote Baseball Commissioner

demotion to the minors. That

LeoffIer Cites Heavier Costs,
To Demand Golf Fee Increase

Leoffler said the drainage funds
should have come out of a Gov
ernment appropriation but none
was available. He added that it
was to his interest to have the
East Potomac course in a playable
condition and thus he proceeded
with the drainage project. A
number of golfng days were lost
last summer because of the flood
ed condition of the course.
Leof1er said the raise in daily
fees would be one of many items
to be discussed when he nego-
tiated the new contract.
The current winter prices. which
are in effect until April l. are 40
cents for 9 or 18 holes on week
days at East Potomac. Anacostia
and Rock Creek, and 40 cents for
9 and IS cents for 18 on Satur-
days, Sundays and holidays at

Yost Ready to Boost Mats With Bat, Coaches Feel

and Eddie could foresee a season
of decorating the dugout.
He was entitled to remain with
the Mats until July under the G1
Bill of Rights. but Eddie wrote
Chandler and asked that the Mats
be allowed to send him to Chat
tanooga. The letter hardly had
been mailed before Travis legs
buckled and Yost was installed as
Washington's third baseman.
Eddie was eager and had a
master of third-base play teaching
him the nlceties of the position.
Ossie Bluege took Yost and made
a third baseman of him in l947.
but so ambitious was Eddie that
he became stale with overwork.
On the afternoons of night
games Eddie arrived at Griffith
Stadium at 5 o'clock. He took
batting practice with the pitchers.
He labored at third base with
Bluege, absorbing the wisdom OF
the old master. Ossie termed
Eddie's development in that period
phenomenal" but Yost was a
frayed figure and batted mild .238.
That schooling was necessary.
For two full years now Eddie has
watched major league pitching. At
the end of last season he learned
to like what he was watching. He's
a youngster who may cash in on
his willingness to work overtime
two years ago.

virtual promise from the Depart
ment of the Interior yesterday
that his contract to lease the Dis

Leoffler said today that under

Bill CisseII, rs, Ex- Shortstop
For Chisox, Dies in Hospital
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Mar. 15.-Chalmers
(BilD Cissell, As, former Chicago
White Sox shortstop, died at
Mercy Hospital today.
Cissell, who lost his job with
the Sox to Luke Appling in 1882
and later played with several
other major league clubs. had
been confined to the hospital
since the middle of January.
He had been found destitute
in a small South Side apartment.
He was suffering from inf1amma-
ton of nerves in his legs and
was scarcely able to walk. Last
week hospital officials said he had
been suffering from a heart con-
dition and had been given oxy-
gen.
The White Soy gave Portland.
Oreg., of the Pacific Coast League
$123.O00 in cash and players for
Cissell in 1927. He was their reg
ular shortstop for the next four
years, but Appling took over in
1892 and still is holding the job.
Cissell was traded to Cleveland
and later had brief filings with the
Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia
Athletics, New York Giants and
Baltimore of the international
League.
Cissell had a lifetime major
league batting average of .273.
He disappeared from the base
ball scene in 1888 and it was not
until 1947 that he was seen by
baseball men when he appeared

in his only appearances at the
plate. One was a sharp grounder
which Buddy Blattner converted
into a double play. The other was
a scorching liner. Third Baseman
Willie Jones made a brilliant back
hand stab of that one.
Such misfortune isn't worrying
Yost. "All I hope is that just
keep meeting the ball the way I
have been," explained Eddie. Sure,
it's rough to be robbed frequently,
but if I keep betting that ball on
the nose I'll get my share of hits. "
Eddie is aware of the fact that
the leagues pitchers have instruc-
tions to keep the ball inside when
pitching to him. Il hope they con-
tinue to do that this season." said

ager Joe Kuhel is testing Gil Coan
as a centerfielder. shifting Eddie
Stewart to left, but a possibility of
running that experiment looms in
the raw-boned form of Clyde Voll-
mer.
Vollmer, a .291 hitter who blast
ed 80 home runs for Syracuse last
year, served notice yesterday that
he isn't to be regarded lightly. The
beefy right handed hitter slashed
a single and double in his only ef-
forts as the Mats lost a 4-3 verdict
to the Philadelphia Phillies.
"1t's a problem. arranging the
outfield," admits Kuhel. Stewart
is a good hitter and although he's
left-handed he hits left-handed
pitching we'll. Coan has improved
tremendously and Buddy Lewis is
numbering the ball. But if Voll-
mer keeps hitting that ball he
can't be kept on the bench. It's
confusing. but love it,"
Kuhel will continue to employ
Coan in center, Stewart in left and
Lewis in right, but he is calculat-
ing on easing Vollmer into every
game. He wants to scrutinize John
Simmons more thoroughly, too.
Simmons, a .304 batter with Mon
treal last year, smashed a single
in one of his two tries yesterday.

Vollmer, who. twice failed in
trials with Cincinnati. is equipped

but the Mats stirred up a rally IN

threatened to offset that blow
against Walter Masterson.
With one out Vollmer drilled a
long double to left. He took third
as Sherry Robertson grounded out
and scored on Simmons single,
but Lou Bevil flied to Richie Ash
burn in center for the final out.
The Phillies clipped Ray Scar
