No Double
Header Losses

Neither the pennant winning
Dodgers nor the second place
Cardinals lost a doubleheader
during the 1949 season. The
Cardinals, who played eleven
twin bills during the campaign,
won six and split the other five,
while the Dodgers won three
and divided in the four others
they played. Two other teams
the Pirates and the Phillies, had
a record OF 800 or better in the
twin bill department, The Pi-
rates won 5, lost two and the
Phillies won six and lost six.
The Pirates split eight and the
Phillies ten.
Most Double headers
The Reds played the most
doubleheaders during the sea-
son. They played 81 and, while
they divided in Ia OF these, they
managed to win only four while
losing nine. The Braves, who in
winning the pennant in l948,
tied the Giants for second place
in the doubleheader department
that season, dropped to seventh
last year OF the 10 they played,
thy won only four, lost eight
and split six. The Giants also
won only four last season, losing
six and dividing nine, while the
Cubs split twelve and won only
two. But the Cubs only lost one
more than they won.

More First Year
Rockies

From Florida to California,
the big league training camps
are sprouting a heavy crop of
rockies all with the same burn
ing desire to make good in their
first attempt at big league.
The Washington Mats are
counting on Irv Noren, heavy
hitting outfielder from Holly
wood to lessen Manager Bucky
Harris problems. Noren, holder
of 800 batting mark with
Hollywood, is labeled a cinch
to grab regular job in the Nat
outfield. Steve Macy, winner of
is games and holder of a neat
2.65 learned run average last
season with San Francisco, ap-
pears standout among the
pitchers, along with little Con-
ME Marrero, winner of rs games
last season for Havana OF the
Florida International league.
Boston Red SOx
Tom Wright, whose 1868 mark
took the American Association
batting title, heads a group of
newcomers bidding for that
rightfield job with Boston's Red
Sox, Ted Williams and Dom Di-
Maggie having staked out au-
thoritative claims on left and
center. Big Walt Dropo will try
again for the Red Sox First base
post after a season in which. he
hit ,287 for Sacramento, while
Charley Schanz and Cord O n
Mueller shape up as standouts
in a large batch of rookie mound
hopefuls. Schanz won % games
last season for Seattle, while
Mueller won 10 for Louisville.
New York Yankees
The world champion New
York Yankees may have a cou-
pie of Rookie gems in Infielder
Al Martin, purchased from Oak
land in one of the biggest rookie
deals in Bomber history, and
Outfielder Jimmy Delsing. The
former, expected to bid for the
Yank utility infield post, hit .286
last season for the Oaks, while
Delsing complied a .317 mark
for Kansas City, then garnished
1t with $50 percentage at the
plate in nine games for Casey
StengePs club.
Do you know that; the oldest
boat club in Philadelphia is
Bachelors Barge, founded in
1883.
Do you know that; the foot
ball huddle was introduced in
about 1921 by coach Robert
Zuppke of the University of

caught up with him. This
type of fighting naturally
goes over big with the fans
and is many times successful
against the inexperienced. Espe-
cially so If you can hit like
Flood.
But when you meet someone
who hits just as hard and is not
taking as many in return, it's
trouble. The man takes a merci-
less beating such as Flood took
last Friday night from Charley
Fusari.
Floods inability to avoid
punches was the topic of many
ringside observers when he
fought here awhile back. He won
the fight but took far too many
blows on the head to remain
healthy.
AS one fan remarked here:
'Tf Flood doesn't learn to box
he'll be a has been In a couple
of years. A guy just can't stand
that much punishment very
long" This was also the opin-
ion of many others.
NOV Flood, who Is only 20
A> years old, Is young enough
to change. II he should develop
a good defense chances are he
could be a top-notcher for many
years. II he doesn't he may be
talking to himself for the rest OF
his life.
Getting back to the Fusari
fight, many persons say Flood
was over matched. This may or
may not be true. We are in
clined to agree that he was, but
would have gotten the same
beating a year from now had he
fought the bout in the same
manner.
You can't be a catcher" and
defeat fighters in the Fusari
category. We only hope the men
behind Flood have realized he
can't go on fighting like he has,
and take corrective measures.
Flood is not only an honest,
sincere and hard-working fighter
but is the support of his family
and Is well-liked by all. He de-
serves the break.

EOR more years than we care
Il to remember we have watch
ed referees, both in professional
and amateur fights, wipe a
boxers gloves off on their shirts
after a knockdown. In fact we
have done it ourself.
This only has to be done once
then the front of the shirt be-
comes dirty and many times
rust-colored from the sweaty
gloves. Not only does this make
the shirt hard to launder but it
also presents a sloppy appear
ance.
1t seems to us this could be
corrected by having each referee
carry small hand towel in one
OF his pockets and use this to
wipe off the gloves instead OF
the shirt.
There are probably objections
to using the towel but try as we
may we haven't thought of any.
