Sports Roundup
By GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK R-It says in the
paper that the New York Giants
have sent outfielder Bill Taylor, in
field Ronnie Sanford and pitcher
Al Worthington, among other play
ers, to their Minneapolis farm
team. Their names sound family
familiar.
Taylor? Now We remember. He
was that great big fellow just out
of the service who could hit base
ball country mile. He was the
talk Of the camp for the first week
at Phoenix. Almost every time he
came up he either hoisted one far
and away over the right field fence
or slashed a double into the open
spaces.
There's this much for certain
he can really hit that ball." said
Manager Leo Durocher. with that
big bat and the way he swings,
all he needs is to get piece of it.
That short right field wall of ours
is built for him. He could give
what | need out there. p"
For quite time, we recall, the
handsome ex-soldier played right
field every day and the boys began
to speculate on what would be-
come of Don Mueller, the splash
hitter who had previously owned
the job. The only thing was, they
noticed, that Taylor seemed to take
an awful long time getting to first
and that he had difficulty locating
line drives.
Worthington? All, yes, that was
the youngster who wasn't even on
the clubs official roster-a sleeper
If there ever was one. We won't
forget the evening that Frank
Shellenback, the Giants astute and
vastly respected pitching coach.
told of his find.
Don't overlook this kid" he
warned. HE could be the surprise
of the year. He couldn't throw a
ball straight If he wanted to.
Everything he throws has some
thing on it, and usually a lot. All
he's got to do IS get it over the
plate and nobody's going TO hit
him. I'm anxious for him to get a
chance to show you what he can
do"
| Unfortunately, we missed the
Worthington debut a few days
later, but checked up anxiously to
find if the youngster had forced
the opposition to fan the high
Arizona air. Turned cut he hadn't.

jumped and swerved and given his
catcher a bad time. We we're ad-
vised to wait until next time.
Sanford? Why, sure, he was the
little pepperpot second baseman
| who teamed so brilliantly with
Daryl Spencer al Minneapolis last
season and was going to nail down
at least a utility job with the
parent team. Every time he got
in there in the late innings he
looked like a million dollars and
evoked stirring praise from Du-
| rocher.
What Taylor, Worthington and
Sanford have been doing with
themselves lately We wouldn'I
know. Anyway, they had their
respective days, and maybe all Of
them viii be back.

1. Obey legal and common sense

2. Keep your car under control
at all times, so you can stop if you
have to.
8. Slow down before you get to
an intersection or traffic signal.

1852, 400 boys attended Camp
Barnes for two weeks.

be the Camp Director. Several addi-
ltiOns have been made to the Camp
Program policy in offering to the
campers all of the facilities for

Perhaps of most interest to all
campers will be the completion of

age weight gain per boy was ap-
prOximately three pounds, and the
same high standard of wholesome

State border to Canterbury. An
other section of this highway is a
dual road from a, point south of
Greenwood to point north Of
Seaford and at present work is
progressing on extending the dual
highway from SeafOrd to the Mary
land Line. This work is not ex-
pected to be completed until next
fall.
The section of the dual highway
from Camden Campmeeting Woods
to Canterbury is 5.S5 miles in
length and consists of two lanes
of concrete highway, each "a feet
in width with a so foot parkway
dividing the traffic lanes. The con-
tract price Of this project is ST.
192,904.05.
George and Lynch, the contrac-
tors building the project, have been
bothered by weather conditions at
various times since the work was
started but at no time were they
more handicapped than they were
during the spring months.
Bids were received on the project
on March 2S, 1852 and the contract
was awarded on April 2, 1852
George and Lynch started opera
tiOns on the project on April IA,
1862 and the completion date was
fixed by the Department for June
LIST of this year.
Because of the anticipated heavy
traffic during the Memorial Day
weekend, the Department was an
xious to have the new highway in
operation before that date and the
contractors cOOperated in this
effort but were handicapped by the
continued wet weather in complet-
ing their drainage and grading
work.
The new dual highway starts at
the terminus Of the Dover Bypass
highway, and continues in a
straight line with the exception of
one curve, through new location to
Canterbury where it rejOins the
existing highway of Route 1S.
It by-passes Camden and Wood
side to the east and eliminates sew
eral severe curves that are along
the existing highway of Route 13
between Camden and WOOdside.
The Highway Department is now
preparing plans and specifications
for continuation of the dual
highway from Canterbury to the
start of the existing dual highway
south Of Greenwood, a distance Of
about Is miles.
On this project the existing
highway will be used for the
southbound lane and new road
way will be built for the north
bound lane with a fifty foot park
way separating the two lanes.
1t is expected that contracts for

British Car Ferry Sinks
In Irish Sea During Storm
With Death Toll of 100

STRANRAER, Scotland, up -
The British steamer Princess Vic
toria capsized and sank in a hur-
ricane Saturday, carrying an esti-
mated 100 to 1870 persons to their
deaths in raging seas off the
Northern Ireland coast.
The first exhausted survivors of
1873 aboard were landed at Dona-
chadee, a North Ireland coast
town Is miles from Belfast, but
their number was not disclosed
Immediately.
Several airplanes, reported to
include an American aircraft,
were helping spot survivors by
dropping flares in the dark. BY
the time lifeboats came into the
light of the flares, however, the
survivors usually had disappeared
in the surging sea.
High seas washed benumbed
survivors off RATS, and the res
cue ships themselves took heavy
pounding in the northern neck of
the Irish Sea. Veteran sailors said
the seas were the worst in their
memory.
The Princess Victoria, a twin
screw vessel, was especially built
for the shallow Stranraer harbor.
She was the first vessel Of the
car ferry type put into service be-
tween Scotland and Northern
Ireland. Her car deck was equip
ped with turntables and had ac-
commodations for 80 vehicles.

Grounding Day, February 2, is
an old American tradition, but it
seems possible that the whole idea
is based on a case Of mistaken
identity. The grounding is sup
posed to come out of his den on
that day and take look around.
If he sees his shadow, he is
supposed to hurry back to his den
and hole up for an extension Of
winter for six weeks. If he does
