NEW YORK (CNS) - Twice
now Ruben Gomez, the Puerto
Rican Negro pitcher for the New
York Giants, has been unable TO
last long enough in a game TO
work up a sweat.
The Dodgers bounced on him
most happily in the second
game of the season in the
second inning.
This week, the lowly Pirates
flattened him in the third.
Yet this is the same Gomez
who was to be No. pitcher for
the Giants--so commendable was
his work last year.
II could be that Gomez is sui
fering from the sophomore ink
which so often plaques an ath-
lete in his second year.

right handler was deadly TO left

Power has found a berth with

Another masculine stronghold
has been invaded by women and
some of the old timers around
the Potomac Boat Club just don't
know what to make Of it.
The story had to get out some
time or another, particularly
since an all-girl squad repre-
senting the famed old George
town club will be racing in the
Presidents Cup rowing events on
the Potomac August 90.
Here is the story as pieced
together by stunned club mem
berS:
First off, as one old hand
points out, Potomac has no pro-
vision for women members. But
of course, at regatta time and
social affairs wives and girl
friends are welcome. For some
time a few girls, friends of the
younger oarsmen, have been
badgering Coach Charlie Butt
and others to sponsor a women's
crew.
They pointed out, for instance.
that each year the Girls Rowing
Club of Philadelphia comes here
for the Presidents Club regatta
and stages an intra-club race
without any outside competition.
It has been strictly an exhibition
affair.
