OUTDOOR LIFE
FEATURES PIECE
ON FISHING
OFF REST BEACH

Adding to the growing number
of articles and stories about Key
West is one called THE Hammer
head" in the January issue of
Outdoor Life on the stands now.
This is an adventure of a fisher
man in a kayak off Key West
written by Hank Bruins. His strug-
gle with the hammerhead lasted
five hours, he says. Hiss little
kayka was fashioned in his back
yard in New Jersey.
'The kayak worked fine in New
Jersey, especially on lakes like
Budd, Swartswood, and Hopatcong.
In Key West it created a small
sensation. People turned to stare
at it, and sometime they smiled
or laughed"
Bruins kayak mounted on two
pontoOnS was put in the water off
Rest Beach.
Bruins was just looking for tar
pom and other pleasant by not dan
gerous game fish. What he found
was a shark.
The big monster opened its jaws
and bit right through the pontoon
of the kayka. Of course he could
have cut his line at any time and
gone free, but like most fishermen
he wanted to continue to fight
pour lie sport. Finally he was res
cued by Bahama Slo0p which
took him to shore. The hammer
head was weighend in at 127
pounds.
Bruins wife asked him:
What we're you trying to
prove?"
Il still don't know, not well
enough to put into words. But |
think the other fishermen will
understand.

600 operating budget and au-
thority for the board to borrow
up to So million for building

COVER. The agile young man on our cover
is 3O-year-old Ferris Fain, probably the best
first baseman in the majors and two-time bat
ting champion of the American League. Fans
will be watching him this year to see if he can
make it three straight.
Fain, sometimes called Fearless Ferris, is
more than adept at all infield plays, but he
shines particularly in defending against bunts.
In fact, it's wonder he doesn't get killed.
With the opposition attempting to sacrifice,
Fain will charge the plate with the pitchers
motion, sometimes wind up foot IN front of
the batter. There he is in perfect position to
pick up the ball and make play at any base
-or, if the batter should swing, to get the
ball knocked down his throat. So far this has
not happened, and Fain just stKugs his shoul-
ders when someone mentions the possibility.
Ferris, who played six years with the
Philadelphia Athletics, is just starting his
first season with the Chicago White Sox. A
sturdy, five-foot-l0 left-hander. Fain has an
explosive temperament which occasionally
backfres on him. One day he came up to bat
against the White Sox, his present team, with
a couple of men on base and chance to win
the game for the AS. He popped out and was
so annoyed he kicked the first-base bag and
broke toe That kept him on the bench for
six weeks - one position he has no use for
at all. THE EDITORS

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-"The
Chicago Cubs are stronger than
at any time since I took over"
said Wild Matthews, who as per-
sonnet director is responsible for
the club which will perform at
Wrigley Field next summer.
"A year ago at this time" he
pointed out, I'VE were in trouble.
Today we are pretty well set in
most positions and have an out
standing group of youngsters
ready to step in should the vet
Grams show signs of faltering. We
are pleased with our pitching.
Our first-line four naturally will
be Bob Rush, Warren Hacker,
Johnny Klippstein and Paul Min
ner. The second. line will con-
sist of Turk LoWn, Bob Kelly,
Bob Schultz and Joe Hatten.
Dutch Leonard and Sheldon
Jones will take care of the re-
lief.
THAT leaves room for just one
pitcher. We should be able to
find one among the newcomers,
who include Vernon Fear and
Tom Simpson, graduates of
Springfield: Calvin Howe of
Macon; Dick, Verbic from Des
Moines: Bill Willis from Shreve-
port and Fred Baczewski and
Elvin Stablefield, just out OF the
service"
Matthews believes the Cubs
catching is finally set. The &C
uuisition of veterans Clyde Nc
Cullough and AL Evans and the
return of rookie Carl Savatski
from the service, together with
first-stringer Toby Atwell and
Johnny Pramesa gives Chicago
quantity as we'll as quality.
"We're going to look over Gene
Baker, a Negro shortstop we've
had at Los Angeles for two
years." Matthews said. "It will be
the first time the Cubs have ever
invited a Negro to spring train
ing. Baker may be year away
but our shortstop spot is wide
open. Three fellows will fight it
out-Eddie Miksis, Roy Smalley
and Baker"
The dope on Baker is that he
is an outstanding fielder and a
speedy runner but a light hitter.
He batted 1853 in 174 games last
year but hit Is home runs. He
hasn't missed q game in two
years.
Two outf1eld jobs are set, &C
cording to Matthews. Hank
Sauer is certain to start in left
field and Frankie Baumholtz
definitely will be in right.
