for $185.ooo. But Dizzy's stuff
was gone.
One Of DR.. Hyland's most cele-
brated cases was that Of Johnny
Mice. once the star first base
man Of the Cardinals. Sold to
Cincinnati in 1885. Mize was told
by that clubs physician that bone
spurs in his thigh threatened to

Az q result. Mize's baseball
career was extended and last
year he was still winning ball
games for the New York Yankees
with his powerful smuggling.
DR.. Hyland's study Of pitchers
ailments made him something Of
an authority. In Boston last o.
tober he told the American Col
lege Of Surgeons that trick
pitching can throw q hurler out
Of q career.
Played Baseball, Football.
"A pitcher can and should be
taught 10 develop and use only
those types Of delivery which con-
form as far as possible to the
normal movements of his shoulder
and elbow joints" he said.
DR.. Hyland was born In Grand
Rapids. Mich, and attended ool-
lege at Quincy, Ill.,, where he
starred In baseball and football.
He showed definite promise In
baseball but his parents insisted
that he concentrate on medicine.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 15.-How
has Paul Bryant, the Arkansas

football a major sport at the

Kentucky, under Bryant's direc-

time in the schools history.

added he would visit "at the prop

interest in his services.

Donovan recalled that Bryant
told university officials that it
would take him five years to

and "if you look at the record,
you will see that Bryant has

Why has Bryant succeeded at

He was relieved in turn by Wilson

The feature of the game was the
hitting of Jay Simmons and Ed Heap,
both of whom got two for three.
Hagerstown won the game in the
first inning when they hoped on
Mains for four runs to drive him
from the mound. They added an
other run in the fourth and another
in the fifth to give them a 60 lead,
but Trenton came up with mild
rally in the bottom half of the sixth
when they scored both their runs.
Hagerstown promptly got those two
back in the top half of the seventh.

third, and that rally ended. Tufano
flied out for the second out and then
Heinbaugh forced Tedesco at second
to retire the side.
The Braves lone run in the eighth
was unearned. Simmons, the first
man up, grounded to Young at third,
who made wild throw to first, with
the result that Simmons pulled up at
second on the error. Heap then
grounded out second to first, sending
Simmons to third, and Levan also
grounded out second to first, with
Simmons scoring on the play. Tedes-
co followed with a single to right,
but was thrown out trying to steal
second.
A possible rally in the ninth was
nipped in the bud. Tufano beat out
hit to short but Heinbaugh lined
one right into the pitchers mitt and
Tufano was doubled off first.
The Blue Rocks two runs came in
the bottom half of the first, and
here's what happened. Newsome
opened the inning with a single to
center. Tesauro followed with
single to left, with Newsome stop
ping at second, and Schell came
right behind him with another single,
this time to right, scoring Newsome
and sending Tesauro to third. Hey
man was up next, and he sent long
fly to center field, and Tesauro trot-
ted home with the second run after
the catch. Command then flied out
to left and Pliszka grounded to Heap
to end the inning.
Wilmington put two singles to-
gether after two were out in the
fourth, but they died there when
Waytula flied out to right. And then
in the seventh inning two hits put
men on base with two out, but Hig-
ham took care of that situation by
getting Tesauro to ground out, second
to first.

pick him off first, from where he

The Braves lead was cut to one
game on Monday night, when the
second-place Wilmington Blue Rocks
took the first of their two-game Sc
ries by score of 2 to l.
Charlie Higham went the route for
Hagerstown and although he gave up
ten hits he only had one bad inning
the first-when the Blue Rocks
scored both their runs. The rest of
the way he was unbeatable with men
on base and received superb support
from his teammates. Danny Long
was his catcher.

and chalked up his fourth win. He
pitched magnificent ball the entire
route and but for an error would
have been credited with a shutout,

hits, two of which were scratch hits

hind the plate.
Hagerstown had two fine scoring
opportunities but was unable to cash
in on either of them. In the first
inning, Simmons got on when Way

up next, and he sent a high fly to
Schell in left field, who momentarily
lost the ball, but managed to get his
glove on it, only to drop it and be-
fore he could recover it Simmons
went all the way to third. Levan,
the next batter, then grounded to
Christante, who elected to throw to
third trying to get Simmons, but Jay
scrambled back safely, and all hands
were safe on the fielder's choice
leaving the bases loaded with none
out. But at this point Christante
really took command. He struck out
Tedesco and then Tufano lined one
right into the glove of Waytula at
short, who whipped the ball to Young
in plenty of time to double off Sim

Then in the sixth, Heap, the first
man up, got clean double to cen

The Braves broke even in their
Sunday double-header at Trenton,
to give them an even break in the
four-g game series. They lost the first
game by score of 8 to 6, but won
the second one 6-5.
First Game
In the seven-inning opening game,
Herndon started for Hagerstown but
was knocked out in the first frame
when Trenton scored four runs. He
gave up three hits, walked two, hit
one batter and was charged with an
error. He was relieved by Bradford
(the losing pitcher). Pottenger was
behind the plate.
Monahan started for the Giants
but was knocked out in the third
inning, after giving up four hits and
six runs, hitting two batters (Sim-
mons and Tedesco) and walking
three. He was relieved by Mains
(the winning pitcher). Matte did
the catching.
The Giants jumped on Herndon
for four big runs in the first frame,
but the Braves came right back in
the top half of the second and got
back in the ball game when they
showed three runs across.
They went ahead GA with another
three-run splurge in the third, but
Trenton got to Bradford in the bot
tom half and pushed four runs across
to go ahead 8-6, and then they added
one more for good measure in the
fourth.
Mains silenced the Braves bats
after he took over, and set them
down the rest of the way with just
one hit.
