Be Proud Of 'Boneheod,
MerkIe's Grandson Told

nous play in 1908, he played big
league baseball for nearly 20
years.
"Canny, tough John McGraw,
manager of the Giants didn't
talk him back to self -conf1dence
and keep him on the Giants all
those years, or become one of his
closest friends, because he
thought he was a bonehead.
$50 here is my suggestion to
you, Freddie, for whatever it may
be worth to, you-now or at some
future time. If there is ever any
occasion for this 'Bonehead' bus
mess to come up, just say, Yes,
sir, my granddaddy was Bone
head" Merkle. Just call me Bone
head. I want to be the kind of
bonehead he was
Because you see, Freddie, he
carried that name for 20 years
in major league baseball and
made it a proud name among
those who knew the truth
Don't shy away from it. It issa
proud name. Wear it proudly
Merkle always commended
and virtually everyone backed
him up-that it was the practice
back in 1908 to skip second base
and head for the clubhouse when
the game winning run was
scored in the bottom of the
ninth. But the Chicago Cubs
noticed Merkle failed to tag Sec
ond that day, got the ball after
a wild scramble and tagged Sec
ond base. The umpires called
Merkle out and the game was
ruled a tie. When the Giants
and Cubs ended the season tied
for the pennant, the tie game
was replayed. The Giants lost

Young Pitchers
Allow One Hit
In Six Innings
By BURTON HAWKINS
Star staff Correspondent

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. s.
Three more pitchers who figure
prominently in Chuck Dressen'S
plans will pitch tomorrow in the
Senator's second squad game,
and the peppery manager hopes
for the same encouraging per-
formances he obtained from AL
Curtis and Hal Griggs yesterday.
Bob Wiesler. acquired in a
trade with the Yankees, and
Dick Brodowski, picked UP from
the Red Sox in another deal,
will make their debuts. Ted
A oernathy. the side-arming
Highlander who had So rec
ord as a rookie last season, also
will fire, along with Bobby
Brown Q5-11 at Hagerstown).
Alex Gordy t23-9 at Orlando)
and Ralph Groves t6-10 IT
Charlotte.
Wiesler, 6-foot-3 lefthander,
is destined to be a starter if he
can show some semblance of
control. Dresser may get some
inkling of Bob's accuracy to-
morrow,-or he may detect some
flaw in his delivery and suggest
a remedy.
BrodowSki, who pitched only
80 innings for Boston last season
and achieved his lone win in a
1912 SUGGEST with Kansas City.
will try to demonstrate he'll
thrive on more steady employ
ment.
Many Not Ready Yet
Dresser isn't placing much
emphasis on his players early
performances. "a lot of the boys
aren't in shape yet" Chuck said.
land they'll do better as we go
along. Of their work yesterday,
though, I'd certainly have to like
Curtis and Griggs."
Pitching for Coach Joe Fitz-
gerald's team, a 1875 victor over
Coach Ellis Clary's outfit, Curtis
had three hitless innings. Griggs
added two more hitless innings
before Neil Chrisley doubled to
open the sixth for the only hit
off Hal.
There were some hitting he
roles among the youngsters, too.
Tony Roig, who batted .231 with
Charlotte, .205 with Chattanoo-
ga and .228 with the Senators
last season, led the Fitzgeralds'
15-hit attack with triple and
two singles, humping across
four runs.
Jose Valdivielso socked three
run double and his chief COM
petition for the shortstop job.
Lyle Luttrell, banged a three
run homer and batted across
four runs. Harmon Killebrew,
who played flawless first base
in his initial stab at the position,
contributed a two-run homer
and a single.
Free Agent Looks Good
Another who caught Dressen's
eye was Rudy Tanner, a 800
hitter with Clovis, N. Mex. last
year The muscular, bronzed out
fielder slammed a home run and
single in his only appearances.
Now a free agent-he insisted on
being declared one at the end of
last season before he signed with

Lamb Sales Get
Boost Through
Promotion Plans

The lamb industry has launched
a drive in the Cleveland and De-
troit areas to speed the turnover of
lambs, popularize lesser-known
lamb cuts and boost market prices
to producers. The campaign will
run through December.
Ralph H. Grimshaw, Ohio State
University animal science extern
sion specialist, says special cuts are
being featured in the Cleveland
area through Cleveland newspaper
advertisements and radio CONNER
Gals In the Detroit area television
stations are being used to stimu-
late sale of lamb cuts
The American Sheep Producers
Council, Inc, is sponsoring the pro-
gram, and wool growers are fl
nancing it with / cent per pound
deduction from the sale of shorn
wool and live lambs.
Similar campaigns, Grimshaw
says, have brought lamb sales up
100 percent in the Denver area, 80
percent in Los Angeles and 200
percent in Birmingham.

statement today as National Farm
Safety Week, July % to %, swung
into concerted promotion of all
phases of farm safety.
Combines and hay-balers are

pickers on the highways becoming
the main farm traffic difficulty in

u. c. Felty, Highway Safety Di-

need to recognize and be alerted to
the summertime increase in move
ment of large farm equipment. On
rural state highways, especially,
where speeds reach the prima facie
limit, drivers must constantly eX-
pect to encounter farm tractors
and machinery and be prepared to
slow down exercising both caution
and courtesy"

AMVETS Ask Thai
Mckeon Sentence
Be Made Lighter

Ohio AMVETS have asked for a
reduction in the court martial sen
tence Of Marine Sgt. Mathew c.
McKeon so he would not suffer a
Bad Conduct Discharge.
State AMVET Commander Ed
gar L. Williams revealed he had
sent a letter to Secretary of De-
fense Charles Wilson making such
request at the direction of the
State AMVETS Steering Commit
tee.
Commander Williams said AM
VETS claimed the National De-
fense of the United States has been
injured by the extreme sentence.
He predicted the recruitment OF
servicemen will suffer because
young men will not want to place
themselves in a position where
they, too, might suffer the "Inius-
tice of being the Goat for a COM
mon practice of branch of serv-
ice.''
AMVETS also claimed the past
valiant service of Sgt. McKeon i'm
Korea had not been adequately
considered in his sentence. The
testimony of the Marine Corps.
Commandant and Retired Major
General "Chesty" Fuller was cited
at being widely at variance with
the extreme sentence"
Commander Williams said AM
VETS have no comment about the
findings of the Courts Martial ex-
cept the sentence.
I'VE cannot stand idly by with
out voicing our objection to what
appears to be miscarriage of Mil
itary Justice We feel that Military
Justice itself is more to be CEN
sured than Sgt. McKeon whom we
feel was generally acting in ac-
cordance with approved military
practices" Commander Williams
explained.

Revenue Up For
States Turnpike

Shattering all previous records,
revenue from operation of the
Ohio Turnpike climbed to an esti-
mated $1,815,00 during the month
of July, the Chairman of the
Ohio Turnpike Commission, James
w Shocknessy, announced today.
The July revenue exceeded by
$270,090, or 17eo the previous re-
cord monthly revenue of S1,544, :
go established in June, Shock
messy said. Cash tolls paid during
July totaled 81, 1887 ,683. These re-
ceipts are likely to be increased
by an estimated $427,317 fmm
charge accounts and concessions.
Schocknessy continued: THE
July record was set despite an
estimated substantial decrease in
revenue from commercial vehicles
because of the steel strike. The
passenger automobile traffic on
the turnpike in July continued the
spectacular rise begun in June.
CAS- often before said, there can
no longer remain any question
that the passenger automobile is
and will continue to be the as
surance of the success of the
Turnpike both financially and a
transportation facility designed to
afford relief to traffic congestion.
Sleepy drivers, not income from
tolls, have become the greatest
cause for anxiety on the turnpike
with restaurant operation now
running a close second as a cause
for concern"
