the World Series. They gave the
right answer. Then they wanted
to know the pitchers names.
They gave them that, too.
THAT was good enough"
Burton himself never played
much baseball. except as a
youngSter in street corner games.
Football was his dish. He was
f1rSt-string quarterback for Bow
doin College (Maine) for two
years.
Il wasn't very good in base
ball." he says. II used to have my
secretary warm me up before
opening day in Cleveland so I
could throw the first pitch prop
erly. Even then. I didn't do too
well.
Must Throw from Mound.
"You know, in Cleveland, you
can't just toss the ball from the
grandstand. You have to throw
it from the pitchers mound and
try to get it over the plate"
Burton says his wife is IAN
even more rabid fan than I
am" and his grandson. Jamie
Weidner of Cleveland, son of
daughter Barbara, "idolizes"
Outfielder Dale Mitchell of the
Indians.
Among his baseball friends,
the Justice counts Roger Peckin-
paugh, who managed the Indians
when Burton was Mayor, and
Iris Speaker. another former
manager of the Indians.
Speaker was chairman of the
boxing commission in Cleveland
when I was Mayor" Burton says.
"He did a fine job"
Then he added: "I'll tell you
why I like baseball so much.
It's a great common asset all Of
us have. people of all sources
of income. It's something we

Wilamowski loses all four to

the most out of them. Playing
together as a unit for three
years, this quartet led Friends
to a record of II wins, 5 losses.

a few more than 100 boys of high

Habicht, who remembers very

WilamoWski, who also coaches

Night prowling mosquitoes that rest on shrubbery during the day are due for short lives in moun- tain camp sites.
