COLONIAL HEIGHTS, Va. -
The wheel of baseball fortune fin
ally swung full circle for Montia
Kennedy, onetime southpaw whiz
kid who always seemed one step
away from major league stardom
but never quite achieved it.
Eight years after he was sold
to the New York Giants for a re-
ported $4,000 by Eddie Mooers,
veteran Piedmont League Club
owner, Kennedy is back in the
Class B Piedmont, once more on
the Mooers payroll. -isi3
Won First Outing
In his first appearance, al six
inning relief chore for Mooersu
Colonial Heights Petersburg Colts
July 20, Kennedy was credited
with a 1913 victory over the Ha-
gerstown Packets though he gave
nine hits and four runs and had to
be lifted in the ninth.
The feeling Of winning must
have been welcome, for it has
been a long time between VIC
tories for the lefty who as late as
1s47 was tagged by the giants
as the only player mot for SALE"
In many ways, Kennedy's pro-
fessional baseball career has been
one OF tragic Illustration. For
years with the Giants, he had all
the requirements for stardom ex-

Big Bayer Is Pros Choice
AS Longest Driver In Golf

Until Bayer came along, fnder-
son was the pros unofficial choice
as the longest hitter in their
ranks.
Georges most sensational tee
shot came on the recent Tam
0'Shanter tourney when he used
a one iron on the $50 yard eighth.
No one can claim he under club
bed as he holed out. In another
exhibition match, a spectator was
struck on the first bounce by one
of Georges booming tee shots
when he was 420 yards away.
There was a following wind but
they hadn't raised any storm
warnings and the small craft were
still at sea.
The second hole at Tam is 400
yards with water in front of the
green. Many have a go at it with
wood seconds and Snead has been
home with a drive and a full iron.
From the back of the tee and with
a cross wind, Bayer was 20
yards over the green with a drive
and a four iron.
George has one popularity that

At the top of his back swing, his
heel never leaves the ground.

have to stay in the fairway."
Today George Bayer's name is
bruited about wherever profess
SIGNALS gather.

the young giant. II just swing
naturally and hope they stay in
the fairway. Putting is lots hard
er than driving, anyway"

Progress Toward
"Woman's World"

ROME Up A University of
Chicago professor says American
husbands help with so much of
the homework these days that the
only tasks now left solely to the
wife are 'child bearing and sew
ing"
Describing the progression to-
ward a "woman's world" in the
United States, Prof. Nelson NJ
Foote, director of the university's
Family Service Center, told the
U.N. Population Conference here
yesterday:
"Diaper-changing, dishwashing.
ing, shopping, all tend to become
duties shared with the wife, es-
pecially when she works outside"
And he said that n per cent of
all American wives do work away
from home.
eff sewing were not in severe
decline generally in American
homes" Foote added, husbands
might have invaded this province. !"

Currently, ten gets you twenty
that George Bayer of Long Island
is the longest hitter in golf.
George is 6-5l1 and weighs FAC
entry and a Johnny Come-Lately
for he has been a professional
less than a year and has played
infinitely less golf than most
29-year-old pros.
George os 6-511 and weighs 24O
pounds. For four years, he was
a terror at tackle for the Univer-
sity Of Washington and then took
a one year fling with the Wash
ington Redskins. He was ALI
Pacific Coast.
He has hands that can palm
medium sized watermelons and
he'd be a very comforting COM
papion in any sort of riot or civil
commotion.
George uses a fourteen and a
half ounce driver with a shaft
an inch longer than standard but
the thing still looks like a fragile
wand in the grip of this young
giant. II concentrate on &C.
curacy," says George.
Bayer has played exhibitions
with Sam Snead, Chick Harbert
and Andy Anderson, three of the
longest in the business and eye
witnesses insist he was always
20 to 40 yards in the van. At
the end of the joust with Snead,
Sam shook hands with him and
said: II guess I'm getting to be
an old man."

Moving Day Is
Major Feat For
.Boysen Family

BURBANK, Calf. R-Moving
day for the Boysens is no light
operation.
Mrs. Dolores Boysen, IS, moved
her brood of 10 children, ranging
from IS years to IS months, into
their new home yesterday. The
head of the family, Cyril Boysen,
was still in Sioux Falls, S. D.,
cleaning up matters before assum-
ing new duties for a meat packing
company here.
"It's like moving Hogan's Alley
hallway across the nation" Mrs.
Boysen said. 1t took three moving
men two hours to unload the fam
ily's household goods. The Boysens
came by plane.
Mrs. Boysen got quite a rush
from statesmen, and of course milk
men. The family takes six quarts
of milk a day.

Tough Road
To Stay In
Flag Race
By GEORGE BOWEN

BALTIMORE, U - Manager
Casey Stengel was stewing yester-
day about what pitchers he'd use
next against Chicago and Cleve-
land and ran Into an almost" no
hitter by q lowly Baltimore Oriole
for q serious setback.
The 10 loss on Joe Coleman's
one-hitter dropped the Yankees
55A games behind Cleveland, as
far as they've been behind all sea-
son.
ALI the talk before the Orioles
game in the Yankee dugout with
the old maestro was about the up
coming games with Chicago to-
night and tomorrow and Cleveland
on Sunday.
I'VE have to play two teams at
once" bemoaned Casey. They're
both just laying for me since
they're both in the West and can
throw their best at US. II one of
them was In the East, / could play
them one at 4 time. This way
have to plan for them as one
team"
There was a give and take about
his pitchers for the two series.
Harry Byrd and Bob Grim would
be the starters against Chicago
and Whitley Ford and Ed Lopat,
"our two lefties," in the double
header ut Cleveland.
To some listeners, this was a
reversal of Casey's previous plans.
But he explained that Byrd had
beaten Chicago before and Grim
had been knocked around in the
last series with Cleveland.
The pitcher Stengel forgot in his
thinking was Coleman. :
It was the second time this sea-
son he did, but yesterdays was the
costly one.
The Yankees couldn't get a de.
cent hit off Coleman. The only one
was due to Baltimore's bumpy in
field. A grounder hit by Enos
Slaughter In the eighth inning took
. bad hop over second baseman
Bobby Young's head for a single.
Otherwise, the Yankees got only
two men to second base and they
were due to walks and wild throws

Bonus Baby Makes Comeback

Now he is plagued with a sore
arm. Kennedy, at 80, thinks if he
can work often enough for the
Colts, he may overcome this all
ment and-maybe-get back into
the big time. But for the present,
he holds up the arm and says:
'It's hanging there; that's all"
Mooers, captivated by the blazing
fast ball Kennedy had shown at
Amelia, Va, High, signed the err
ratio pitcher in 1912. He finished
out that season with the Colts,
the Richmond, winning one, los
ing two.
l2-Game Winner In ~
Kennedy's best year with the
Giants was 1949 when he worked
223 innings and posted a 1914 re-
cord. He was 5-4 in 1910, growing
wilder all the time. The Giants
just about gave up on him in 1851
and he worked IS innings, winning
one, losing two. In 1852 he finish
ed "a and last year went without
a decision while pitching just 1S
innings. 20" - u
The Giants sent Kennedy to
Minneapolis last spring but he was
optioned to Richmond's new Inter-
national League team. The lVir-
ginians released him.
Kennedy tried healing his sore
arm playing semi-pro baseball for
a few weeks. The Mooers persuad-
ed him to sign with CHIP Petersburg.

GLOW does radiobuoy oper-
ate? X. L. Marriott, Fl. Lauder
dale, Fla.
A radiobuoy is a floating
radio transmitter. The purpose Of
this device Is to provide a means
by which fishing gear may be
found. Each buoy is made so that
it transmits only the call signal
OF the vessel to which it belongs
thus enabling the owning vessel
to find it regardless Of weather
or visibility. The buoy's lower Sec
ton, which is cylindrical, contains
a small transmitter on a 12-volt
battery. Gaping this cylinder, by

Q.-Why are purse seines illegal
In Florida? T. B. Campbell, TT.
Pierce, Fla.
A.--Actually purse seines are
legal for one type of fishing, and
that is for menhaden, a fish made
into meal and oil. They are illegal
in Florida for catching food fish,
and the reason is that they are
efficient and it is thought that
they catch too many fish. Purse
seines can make large catches and
they support highly valuable fish
cries in many parts Of the world,
particularly in the herring and
salmon fisheries. There is
strong doubt that this prohibition
is proper. It is considered improp-
er management Of fisheries 10
penalize fishing gear merely be-
cause it is efficient, and many
conservationists regard the out
lawing of purse seines as wrong.
II restricted catches are necessary
to protect stocks, the reduction
should be made in some other
way than by penalizing efficien-
cy. Forcing the use of inefficient
gear means that the fisherman
must take more time as a rule in
making his catch, that more fish
ernnen share smaller profits and
that the quality Of fish is often
reduced. AS result, the price
of the fish must go up so that the
fisherman may be able to make
a living wage.

Residents Protest
Proposed Firehouse
On Seminary Road

Residents of the Montgomery
Hills section of Silver Spring last
night protested proposed con-
Struction of a flrehouse on Semi
nary road in the block adjoining
the business section there.
: The Silver Spring Fire Board
had asked the Montgomery
County Council for approval of
the proposed purchase for some
$4,000 Of one lot and part of
another running from Seminary
road to Seminary place.
Page Hopkins, Fire Board
president, told the council the
proposal to build a substation
in the Montgomery Hills section
was a matter Of second choice
with the f1remen.
Site Rejected.
The council already has re-
jected a proposal to build a new
f1rehouSe at Ballard street and
Georgia avenue to replace the
present one at Silver Spring and
Georgia avenues, in the business
section.
A new f1rehouse headquarters
or substation is needed to pro-
vide adequate coverage for the
fire tax area, Mr.. Hopkins said.
The board president added
that the department would not
have to issue any bonds for the
firehouse and that the tax rate
in the area is being cut from 10
cents 10 9 cents per 500 assessed
valuation.
A spokesman for the Allied
Civic Group approved the Mont
gomery Hills area for the sub
station but opposed the proposed
site because of the coming classi-
fication.
Warren Seaton, Of the North
Woodside- Montgomery Hills
Citizens Association, said the
lot in a residential area would
force commercialization of the
stretch between it and the pres
ent business section.
Traffic Hazards Cited.
Mr.. Seaton also charged the
proposed site would create in
creased traffic hazards at the
Georgia avehue-Seminary road
intersection.
Representatives of the Linden
and Woodside Forest Citizens
Associations also Joined in pro-
test Of the site and charged it
would depreciate surrounding
residential property values. The
Montgomery Hills Junior High
School Parent Teacher Associa-
ton said it would disrupt classes
at the school and endanger
children's lives.
Mr.. Hopkins said the site was
1000 feet from the school and
that most Of the runs would be
away from the school area.
The public hearing was held
at the new county building in
Rockville.
