Skinner slammed four hits in

feat boosted his batting average

to keep anywhere near that pace.
but both predict he will some
day be one of the best hitters
in the majors.
Hes absolutely the best nat
ural hitter I've seen in many
years." Hickey enthused. Hes
a southpaw who gets an awful
lot of power into his swings. He
does not seem to go for too
many bad balls. The boy has a
tremendous future"
Haney, just as enthusiastic,
chimed in:
Hes destined to be one of
the great hitterS in baseball. He
has a wonderful attitude, too.

he got so much power IN that

Field Of 10 70 Run
tomorrow in Tough
Maryland Hunt Cup
By Robert B. Phillips
Special correspondent Of The stor


GLYNDON, Md, April 23.-
Ten horses will face the starter
at 4 pm. tomorrow for the 58th
running Of the Maryland Hunt
Cup-the toughest steeplechaSe
in the United States.
The No. and No. 2 horses
will be back. They are Harry
Loves Third Army and Mrs.
William Strawbridge's Lands
Corner. the only two jumpers
able to complete the course last
season.
Third Army hit his best form
in taking the Grand National at
Butler. Md, last Saturday. The
week before, Lands Corner beat
him and smashed a course rec
ord at My Lady's Manor at
Monkton. On that day, Arthur
E. Pew, jr.'s Head Agent was
second by a neck after losing
so lengths because his rider lost
the way. OF that race Head
Agent looms large among the
unknown quantities in the start
ing lineup. Like some of the 9TH
ers. he has one large question
mark against him-can he jump
the Maryland?
ReguIar Riders Tin.
Jockey R. McCrecry will be
riding Head Agent again and
he will find the Hunt Cup is no
place to get lost. Third Army
and Lands Corner will be han
died by their regular riders, Gene
Weymouth and Tiger" Bennett.
Another recent winner in the
paddock tomorrow will be Janon
Fishers Sohrab. which took a
maiden race in the Grand Ma
tional. The Fisher family is
going strong this year. Another
member, young John R. S.
Fisher, will be riding Mrs. Ben
jamin Brewster'S Edward NJ.
Those who like to bet the
riders probably will back Cynthia
Cannon's Marchized. In the sad
die will be D. M. (Duke) Smith
wick, who has won four times
here since 1948.
Mellon Sends Two Horses.
Only one stable has two horses
ready to go. Richard K. Mellon
of the Rolling Rock Hunt is
sending Induction and No Wings
with George Clement and Louis
Nelson, jr.. to ride them. Both
are conceded to be good horses.
From another Pennsylvania
stable comes George S. Straw
bridges Black News, a rank out
slider. He will be ridden by Carl
Meister.
Ned's Flying in Field.
Paul Denckla's Ned's Flying
took a hard fall here last year,
but he will race again tomorrow
Riding him will be B. H. daddy
Murray. another of the young
Maryland jockeys who did his
teething on the top rail of the
third fence, otherwise known as
the Union Memorial Hospital
Fence. Laddy and Ned's Flying
could make it.

Pot Luck Supper
Planned to Aid
March of Dimes

The Juniorettes held a meeting
at the home of their president
Pat King, on August % to plar
projects for the coming year.
The foremost project discussed
was to contribute needed money
to the Emergency March OF
Dimes fund. The girls feel that
every little bit will help in some
way. They planned a Pot Luck
Super for their friends and flu
.ture members. 1t is hoped that
through a collection taken, some
help may be given to such q
worthy cause.
The Juniorettes also planned to
investigate the possibility OF
working under the supervision
of the Red Cross in such fields as
First Aid, Child Care, and Nurs
es' Air participation. They felt
these were fields in which they
are weak and would profit them
selves and others by strengthen
ing.
The girls look forward to this
years work and are anxious tc
encourage others in joining theil
club.
