professional clown. figuring that
there were enough of them on
the playing field.
Kelly. the most famous clown

years ago as result of a union
dispute. O'Malley said he signed
Kelly Ito ease the tension at
Eobets Field" though he also
will appear at various Brooklyn
farm clubs. They need laughs
too, in the opinion Of O'Malley
Kelly will do exactly as he
did in his circus dayS-take on
the role OF a poor, detected
character in a tattered suit with
himself the butt of a humorous
situation. He'll join the Dodgers
at spring training at Vero

athlete Of last year, and Jerry
Tubbs of the unbeaten Oklahoma
team as the top lineman of 1856.
Wertz. a native of York, Pa,
accepted the award by telling
the 1900 diners-they gave him
a standing ovation-that some
one bigger than all of us figured
in this more than I did" He

Stricken in 1855
The 31-year-old first baseman
for the Indians was stricken in
the Cleveland clubhouse August
20, 1855. He spent four weeks in
a hospital and most baseball ex-
perts. as well as friends and fam
lily, wrote off his baseball career
as a thing of the past, praying
only for his recovery.
Wertz was able to move only
his head during the first week Of
his sickness and at times was in
such pain that he wished for the
end to come. But treatment,
courage and determination pulled
him through. Even then it is
doubtful if anyone thought he
could return to baseball.
But Wertz had no intention of
giving up baseball. He worked
hard during the winter months
to strengthen his muscles. He
kept active by visiting hospitals
to cheer up other polio victims
and bent all his energy to aiding
the March of Dimes Campaign.
One of Best Years
Last spring he reported to the
Cleveland training camp and
surprised everyone by winning
back his f1rst-base job. He went
on to one of his most successful
seasons. Wertz slugged 80 home
