SPORTS WITH STODY
BY RALPH WARD

The Red Soy nearing the end of the current sea-
son. already making plans for 1857 1t was not too
many seasons ago that the roster of the Augusta Mill
iOnareS carried the of many college stars now Ia
the minor and major leagues
ants played the Augusta team which had such classy
players Ted LepScio of the Red Sox Billy Porter of
the Braves system and Hayward Sullivan now OF San
Francisco After this trio Harry AgannS who inn
proved SO greatly with Louisville and was his way
to stardom with the Red Sox when he so tragcay
stricken. Today the NE baseball picture has faded;
good travelling team can't find opponents to play
fans interested in the past Big League scouts have
found this area barren of colored players hoping
of building good negrated team here in Boston next
year.
Charlie jenkins of Cambridge, the Olympic track
star the toast of Rndge Tech few years ago; and
mes Wheaton, advised and helped Charlie great deal of
his way to track fame right up to the Oympics Her
loyalty carried her to almost all of his meets and she
loyal not only to Charlie but to the entire Rndge
team. This little made many sacrifices to go to
such distant places as New York, Philadelphia Maine
and wherever the team meets were scheduled. Cam
bridge policeman, George Buchanan also had boy on
this team and sometimes travelled with the SQUAD to
assist in the discipline and also keep cheerful morale
among the boys, as well root the team to victory
line athlete in his day, George always enjoyed all kinds
OF clean sport and devoted much of his life toward it's
advancement. One day Buchanan heard of the plight
OF Mrs. Wheaton who was unable to make the trip to
New York with the track team and Charlie Although
she planned many months for this trip she had not
saved enough money due to other expenses When
George heard about loyal little Rndge rooter and being
unable to contact her by phone he turned his car over
10 ms boy and told him todrive out to Mrs Wheatons
and extend the Buchanan family invitation to accom-
pany them to the meet in the family car as they were
all ready to leave for New York and would welcome her
as their guest OF course, Mrs Wheaton overioyed
and everyone had fine time, thanks to a fine Cam
bridge police officer This real Indignation and it
IS TOO bad more OF it does not exist in our everyday
life even here in New England I understand that
Charlie jenkins is going to be married in the very near
future Good luck to you old boy and may all your
PLooieIns pc small ones And of course everyone is
wishing Charlie top success in the Australia Olympic
Games.

coaching staff to send instructions out onto the
