Jensen. signed by Oakland for
a $4,000 bonus, is a blond speed

with Mickey Mantle for the Yam

Joe DiMaggio. He was in CENTER

was removed from the lineup.
Sought by Many Clubs.
The 25-year -old Jensen was be-
seiged by offers from major league
clubs despite batting a mere .261
with Oakland in his first season
in organized baseball. The Yam
KEGS obtained him along with In
fielder Billy Martin for a reported
100000 and five players.
A pitcher in college, when he
helped hurl California to the
NCAA championship over Yale in
1947, Jensen was no immediate
sensation with the Yankees as an
outfielder. Used sparingly in 1850,
he batted Ill IN As games. Last
year he compiled a creditable .298
average with the Yankees in Sc
games and hit 1868 with Kansas
City in AZ games.

Bobo Newsom, who replaced Don

from the contest as the winning
pitcher, but Bobo was no hero in
snaring his first major league
triumph since 1947. He was the

and was a glum figure until Run

Pre-SchOOl Age
Summer Program
At TlUin Brook

The Pre-School Age program at
the Twin Brook Recreation Center
will open Tuesday, July /. This
program is being sponsored as a
project of the Homemakers Club
for the under-6-year-old children.
The days are Tuesdays and Thurs
days from $50 to 1870 am, dur
ing July and August. Organization
has been under the very capable
leadership of Mrs. Richard Canon,
Recreation Chairman of the Club.
Mrs. Canon and her committee
have worked long and hard and
report much enthusiasm and ex-
cGllent cooperation. A survey was
taken of each family to ascertain
the number and age of the child
rcn, and the interest of the mother
in helping out. A Bake Sale was
held to raise money for play equip
ment. The program r,N for an 49,
day period. Each of the ID streets
is in charge of a street leader who
will be responsible for one days
program, with streets taking an
extra days duty. 1t is planned to
have play period during the first
hour, serve cookies, and then that
the last hour will be taken up with
stories and records.
Residents should bear in mind
that the insurance carried by the
regular city sponsored recreation
program for the older children
does not cover this younger group.
Also, that transportation to and
from the area will be the definite
responsibility of the parents. Each
child should furnish his own iden-
titled drinking cup.
Mrs. Canon wants to express
thanks on behalf of the Club to
all who have helped in any way to
get the program started and es-
pecially to those mothers who have
volunteered as street leaders or to
assist, to Messrs. Gearhaert and
Gingery for scrap lumber, and to
the following men who made sand
boxes and helped clear the area:
Messrs. Durant Burton, Bill Herr
stock, A. M. Harloe, Edwin Libby,
Claud Cross, Harvey Pearce and
West.
There will be another "work-
day" Saturday morning, June 20,
and all men who can are urged to
come and help with the building
of playhouse and do other things
to put the area into final shape
for opening day.
