MONOGAH, w. Va, Feb. D.
"Sad Sam" Jones, already dubbed
the poor mans Bob Feller, has q
good reason for wanting to make
good in his first trip to the major
leagues.
"I'm just getting a bit weary OF
playing ball the year round"
If he can keep up the pace, his
worries are over. The Cleveland

Sam has anything but a base
ball background. He says he
didn't even play sandlot ball while
he was growing up.
He first began pitching for ar
Army team at Orlando. Fla, ir
t1943. And he kept his fireball

from this in the light Of what has
happened since"
Collins was among those ques.

that neither he nor anyone elst

was disguised. For one thing, that
system is not going to work any

ing that kind of ball is good
enough to win playing the right
way. Chamberlain isn't.
Made Game Farce.
"Powars sat there on the bench
with a watch, waiting for those
last seconds. It didn't work. AL
it did was make a farce Of the
game. What could we do? We
fouled them three or four times
in the first quarter, but they
wouldn't even take their foul
shots. They took the ball out in
stead. Sure, I could've kept on
fouling them until all my team
was out"
Frosty's freeze is legitimate.
There is no rule in scholastt"
ball, which follows the pattern se
by colleges, against stalling, as
such. There is a rule against it
in the professional game. It was
put in hastily after the Fort
Wayne Pistons made a farce out
of a National Basketball Associa-
ton game with the Minneapolis
Lakers. But then, the pros, if
they want to keep on eating, must
accommodate their customers.
No one can accuse PoWars OF
taking the Tech game lightly. In
fact, Frosty had his team prac-
ticing in the Tech gym almost
two hours before game time. 1t
seems they wanted to get warmed
up so as to be in better condi-
ton to cool off the game.
The question arises now and
then as to what specifically makes
one basketball player better than
another. Two players can be alike
in every apparent respect, but one
like Techs Snookie Herman, for
example, will be SO far above the
average that comparison is ridicu-
lous.
Reaction time" Usilaner says
"and the ability to see all over at
|once-peripheral vision. I use q
stop watch during practice to see
how long it takes a boy to get rio
|of the ball. They have to be able
to spot all five players on the
other team, know where their own
players are and get rid Of the
ball in a fraction of second.
"'And that" Dutch adds. .'is the
difference between our team and
other teams which use the fast
break"

This Years Hambletonian
A Harrington colt has the honor
of being the only candidate on the
Delmarva Peninsula for this years
Hambletonian. Furthermore, Kirby
and Holloway's Federal Hanover
should have more than an outside
chance in the turf classic. The bay
Peter Song colt performed well
last season in contests with two
prime contenders for the trotting
epic, placing in races won by Har-
dy Hanover at Bloomsbury and
Duke of Lullwater in the Reading
Futurity. The colt was bought at
Harrisburg sale from the Hanover
Shoe Farms and broken and train
ed here. Trainer S. R. 'Polly" Sipe
said Federal Hanover would be at
Harrington during the annual
spring meet of the Kent E. Sussex
Racing Association which begins
May 1st for 20 nights of pari-
mutuel racing. Polly, who has
been prominent in harness racing
circles more than 40 years, says
the trotter won more than $4,000
last year in competition with top
notch contenders. The juvenile
handles easily, Sipe said. "He is
perfect to handle" said the veter-
an reinsman, as he cooled off Blu
cite Hanover on a raw Saturday.
HE drives nice and you can use
him any place in the field you want
to. He has worked a very handy
mile this spring in 2:20, with the
last quarter in 30.3 seconds"
