Teenage Highlights

Hellow Teenagers:
The Monarchs took two startling
football victories last week. Their
first victory was over the Litch-
field Owls in which they won 26-0.
The second game was with Saint
Arizona sun., 1949-11-04

Marys Vikings. In this game the
Monarch gridders took a 1912 VIC
tory. In both games Paul Kemp,
Douglas Engram, and Bernice
Brooks showed their ability as a
true Monarch. To top it all, they
took an amazing 1877 victory over
Parker.
Carver's colorful Halloween fes-
tival was quite a success. It was
house of fun as well as festival
of entertainment. There was a
small fortune offered to any one
who could top any of the games
or to the person with the lucky
number on the give-aWay prizes.
Two of these small fortunes was a
shirt for Eldridge Conaway and a
ham to r. B. Ellison. J. G. ELMER"
Walker won box of candy also.
The funniest of all of the enter
tainment was head stuck through
a hole in which balls were thrown
in it's mouth. The head belonged
to Ben Peterson.

Speed, Stuff Not Necessary
ToExceN on Slab, Hickey Says

while 1t should be the other
way around"
Never, never, mention speed
to a young pitcher. You don't
want it and you'll get it in
time without asking.
The grip on the ball is the
, most incorrectible thing in
coaching and if a pitcher can
let loose with the same angle
of delivery every time, you can
jolly well know he's got some-
thing.
He might not be a stuff
pitcher; he might have no
speed. But he still can produce
such terrific timing problems in
the mind of a batter that he
is sure to make good in the
major leagues. We have such
pitcher with the Dodgers now.
He's tops with us-Preacher

Tonight With Mats in

The Mats are in no mood to eel

the background to provide scenery
tonight when creaky, aching, but
still highly capable Shortstop Luke
Appling of the Chicago White Sox

Appling. 40-year-old chronic

Washington's four-game losing
streak. The Mats dropped 6-3 and
t14-1 games to Cleveland last night
before a crowd of 24,299, and out
of the proceedings the only heart
ening item the Mats could point to
was the pitching of Rookie Dick
Weik.
Dolby Starts Weik's Downfall.
Weik carried the Indians II in
nings in the opener before weak
ening. He owned 4-hitter enter
ing the eighth, when Lou Boud-
reau singled across two runs to
present Cleveland a 80 lead. The
Mats locked the score in their
portion of the inning when Ed
Stewart doubled and came around
on Buddy Lewis inf1eld single and
Eddie Robinson's fly.
Weik hurled hitless ball for the
next three innings, but Larry
Dolby opened an extra-base bar
rage when he started the 18th with
double. Mickey Vernon tripled
to chase Weik, but Boudreau also
trippled off Joe Haynes and Bob
Kennedy doubled him across.
Joe Gordon blasted his 18th
homer in the second inning of the
opener and Sherry Robertson
slammed his ninth with one on in
the sixth. Bob Lemon, fifth Cleve-
land pitcher. blanked the Mats for
the last four innings to register
his 18th win.

Mats Robinson One
OF Three 10 Homer
Around Circuit
by the AsSocjoted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. with the
season two thirds gone. three
players-Ed Robinson of Washing
ton, Hank Sauer of Chicago and
Duke Snider of Brooklyn-have
hit home runs i'm all eight parks
in which they've played.
Four others-Ralph Kiner, Bill
Nicholson, Vern Stephens and
Clyde Vollmer-need only a homer
in one more park to complete the
cycle.
Sauer, clouting outfielder of the
Cubs, became the first to accom-
plish the feat when he cleared the
wall in Philadelphia Shibe Park
on July 20. Robinson completed
the circuit four days later with q
drive over the right field fence in
Cleveland. Snider made the rounds
in Pittsburgh August l.
During the last Is years only sc
players in both leagues have been
able to clear the wall in all parks
in a single season. Ted Williams
of the Boston Red Sox and Jimmy
Foxx, former Philadelphia and
Boston slugger, have done it the
most times, four.
The New York Yankees Joe d
Maggie. former Detroit dynamiter
Hank Greenberg: Johnny Mize OF
the New York Giants and JEFF
Heath Of the Boston Braves are
next with three.
Heath owns the unique distinc.
ton of being the only player to
accomplish the stunt in both
leagues. He did it as a member
OF the st. Louis Browns in 1916
and 1947. and again with the
Braves last year.
