Wright, Former Ace Catcher,
Returning to Game as Umpire
By Ben McAIwee

After eight years away from his
first sports love-baseball-it will
be back of plate again this season
for Al Wright Of Arlington, who in
the interim has become one of the
country's leading duckpin bowlers.
But this time instead of crouch
ing to catch the pitches from the
likes of Lem Owen, his old Ballston
battery mate, Wright will be call
ing 'em as a member of the Dis
trict Umpires' Association.
I'm confident Al will make a
first-rate umpire" Clarence Dike)
Desper, secretary of the local UNI
.pires' association and former star
catcher Of the Union Printers, said
today.
AL, whose latest bowling achieve
ment was firing high scratch set
of 457 in The Evening Stars big
tournament which ended last
night, started his diamond career
Washington-Lee High School.
He was one of Arlington Coun-
tvs rising young ballplayers when
he Joined Waycross A. c. more
than 20 years ago. Among his
teammates were the three Nc
Quinns-Billy, John and George.
The last named became the New
York Yankees first baseman.
Guess I missed out on big
league chance when I failed to
report back to the Wheeling (W.
Va team after a pretty fair sea-
son." says Al. You know that's
where McQuinn got his start to
the majors"
Wright was with the, Leesburg
team that won the Tri-County
pennant during the early 1930s.
For several years he was the
leading catcher on the Ballston
team. Its roster numbered some
of the best semipros of that era,
including Buck Splitter, Archie
Via, Owen and Bill Moore. also
prominent with the D. c. Fire De-
partment team.
During the 1887 season when
Ballston won 66 of 72 games, AL
hit .359.
THE old Ballston Stadium
probably stin would be a hotbed
for county baseball had not the
busline taken it over for a park
ing lot," AL says.
