BY DICK SLAY

too little, but too late. it seems
to this department.
In this vicinity there has been
scant criticism Of boys baseball
in recent years. and If there has
been any at all this season it has
not reached these ears. The
presence Of approximately 500
teams in all age groups attests
to the popularity Of the idea
here.
Teller, himself president Of a
Little League in suburban Cleve-
land and father Of two active
players, directs some potent am
munition at the critics. but the
critics probably are hard to find
these days, even in the national
picture.
However, the great Cleveland
fast baller strikes home with this
statement: II owe about every
thing I have to baseball. but I
would not support Little League
for an instant if I thought it
could harm my youngsters"
Besides his arguments in favor
of such leagues, Teller offers tips
to players, coaches and parents
which should be practiced in
every boys baseball program.

On the heels of a remarkable
pitching record turned in by one
youngster in the Springfield Lit
tie League this summer, there
comes to light a tale even more
unusual.
Bill Dannemann, 5-foot-4 and
100 pounds of 12-year-old pitch
er, allowed just two earned runs
and six walks in 581s innings
as he paced the Tigers to the
Springfield pennant with an S-2
record. He was the leagues lead
ing home-run hitter and batted
in the high .400s. One good rea-
son was that this was his fifth
year in Little League COMPETE
ition.
The previous four we're spent
lin the Philippines, while his dad
Mai. Stanley Dannemann, wal
stationed at Clark Air Force
Base. Young Bill practically was
"a charter member at the age Of
when the Philippines league was
formed. Two years later he wal
the star pitcher on the cham.
lpionship team.
Little Leagues in the Far East
are too distant to permit post
season tournament play leading
to the annual Little World Sc
ries at Williamsport. Pa. But q
week from tomorrow Bill gets
his chance as a member Of
Springfield's first all-star group
in the tournament. 1t is almost
a certainty that he will be the
starting pitcher against Bowling
Green in the first round of the
district playoffs.

Around the league Bill /.
known as a poised, attentive
player; a good student last veal
lat st. Michael'S School. His ia.
vorite pitch: a crosS-fire which
burns across the plate from the
Short Little League distance.
The story goes that Dame,
mann was throwing one day il
a practice game when he caugh
the corner with that croSS-firC
and one of the fathers who wa
umpiring called it a ball.
Bill, I think missed tina
one" apologized the adult.
That's okay. Mr.. -" tn,
youngster replied, "just watcl
this one" Whereupon he GU
the plate in the same spot will
the same pitch.
Such control explains tn,
mere half-dozen bases on ball
he issued while working almos
