Baseball Title
Caps Big Year
For WI High
By CARL SELL
Star staff Writer

Washington Lee High
Schools 1872 victory over Lee
last night in the championship
game of the Northern Virginia
Group la baseball tournament
at Alexandria's Municipal Sta
dium capped an amazing year
for the Arlington school.
WI athletic teams won
seven league championships,
one State title, one National
championship and finished Sec
ond in the other four sports
on the program.
The Generals took league
titles in football, wrestling. in
door and outdoor track, crew,
rifle and baseball. The football
team also was the Virginia
champion while the crew took
its fifth straight National title.
Three Batting Stars
The second place finishes
came in basketball, tennis,
cross-country and golf. The
golf team finished second in its
division while the other clubs
were second in league races.
Dave Cutler, Reggie Burner
and Clay Bittinger provided the
batting fireworks for WI last
night. Cutler and Burner each
batted in four runs and Bit
finger knocked in three. Burn
er and Bittinger each Swatted
three-run homers.
Wayne Schiebel and Dave
Hammond combined to stop
Lee from mounting any serious
threats at the plate. Schiebel
pitched five innings, allowing
five hits. Hammond pitched the
last two frames, giving up two
hits.
1t was Washington-Lee's sec
ond straight victory in the tour
nament, which was inaugurated
last year. The Generals finished
in a tie with Lee and Mclean
for third place behind Ham
mond and Fairfax, the co-lead-
ers, in the regular season race.
Rake Two Pitchers
WI raked starter Garland
Fowler and Reliefer Mark Otis
for five hits each and scored six
runs off each boy. However,
only one of the scores off Otis
was earned, while all off Fow-
Ter were earned.
Bittinger got the Generals
rolling in the second inning
with his blast over the left-cen-
terfield fence, $50 feet away,
and Cutler later doubled home
two more. Burners homer in
the fourth barely cleared the
305-foot fence in left.
Lee was trying for its first
league championship since the
Fairfax County school opened
in 1858. Otis, a sophomore
Highlander, had an 30 record
for the Lancers this year, in
cluding two tournament wins.

WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
Calvin and the WoIIeyed Pike
By FRANCIS STANN

1T ALSO MUST IRK Calvin to note
that up to now the Senators have been
pretty tough cookies when they're facing
the top clubs This is more than Griffith
can say for his Twins, who haven't been
able to handle the Tigers, Indians and
Yankees at all. The new Senators have
won nine of IT from the leaders, the Twins
only one of nine.
Meanwhile, new villains have entered
Calvin'S life. They are the walleyed pike,
ftavorite fish of all proper Minnesotans.
The question before the Griffiths seems
to be: Will the Twins lure the fans or the
fans lure the fish? So far the walleyeds
appear to be winning
A Twin Cities correspondent, writing
in The Sporting News, paints gray picture
for the Griffiths. After averaging crowds
of 1880, the Twins attendance dipped
sharply when the fishing season opened
May 49,
While the Twins were drawing 10,103
fans on Saturday, May 13, and only 1925
on Sunday" Operative Bob Inserra reports,
highways on the opposite side of the town
were clogged with cars loaded with fisher
to the Land Of Lakes 10000 lakes) there
was terrific jam 10 miles long"
PRESUMABLY, although not necessar
ily,, Calvin was aware of the Minnesotans'
fondness for fishing before he moved his
furniture to Minneapolis-St. Paul. If he
didn't, Cal knows now. When the fishing
season opened, Minnesota State officials
and resort and travel observers estimated
that about half-million fishermen were
in action over the week end
That's pretty big chunk of the whole
Minnesota population of slightly over
100000 people," Correspondent Inserra
comments. 1T is even bigger when one
considers that the fisherman and the base
ball fan usually are of the same age group
and the same general social and economic
level"
Apoll conducted by the Minneapolis Star
and Tribune indicated that about 10 per
cent OF the adult males in Minnesota go
fishing. The Outboard Boating Club of
America indicates that about a quarter of
million outboard motors and boats are
owned by Minnesotans, who annually buy
more than a million fishing licenses and
spend more than $l00 million on the sport
each year.
Pete Quesada, when he counts his
blessings, might do well to remember that
hardly anybody catches a walleyed pike
in Chesapeake Bay.

SIGNS WITH CARDS

ST. LOUIS. May 25 CAP).-
Kerry Don Butch Mcdaniel,

Lindy Mcdaniel of the st,

That was the o=ccc amount

He will be assigned to Winni-
peg of the Glass C Northern
League but will work out here
for the next week under the
supervision Of Howard Pollet,
Cardinal pitching coach.
Kerry Don has a more ma
ture arm than Won or had in
school because he started
pitching earlier than we did,"
Lindy said. Kerry Don started

FOR CALVIN GRIFFITH, the baseball
season is not going precisely to his liking
His Minnesota TwinS-aliaS the old, old
Senators-are in one of those Slumps so
familiar to Washington patrons, five losses
in a row. But most of all the Twins haven't
established as yet clear-cut superiority
over the new Senators, so hastily organized
on December morning.
This must be very embarrassing to
Calvin, who left town muttering that his
ball club was on the way up and II the
Washington public and press properly had
supported his enterprise-purely civic, OF
course-his troops were good enough to
make a run for the pennant. Indeed the
Senators-that is, Twins-had first divi-
sion berth sewed up last year until they
lost II of their last IL games.
Press and public let Cal down shame
fully Not a single newSman came down
from the press box to play third base during
that trying period, nor was there customer
who would help Calvin'S beleaguered pitch
ing staff. Little wonder he took off for
Minneapolis-St. Paul A man can't be
expected to do everything by himself.
H*HS
IN THE LAND of the sky blue waters,
Gals Twins looked and acted like con-.
tenders briefly. On April % they were on
top of the American League with a 9-3
record even with Harmon Killebrew ailing.
Zorro Versailles, Bob Allison, Camilo Pascual
and Pedro Ramos were slightly wonderful.
Then Gals thin pitching began to catch up
with him.
The wonder is how the new Senators
are as close to the Twins as they are.
Except for the pitchers, Mickey Vernon has
no stickout individual, whereas Cal and
Cookie Lavagetto have heroes galore. For
instance:
Lenny Green has the longest consecu-
tive game hitting streak in the majors, II.
Killebrew is winging with $40 batting
average and is tied for second in AL home
runs. Allison is among the batted-in
leaders and Versailles is tied with Luis
Aparicio for most stolen bases. And splendid
as have been the Washington pitchers,
there is none yet in class with Pascual,
who can boast of back-to-back shutouts
(although he did fail to make 1T three in
a row last night.
In the spring the Cuban cuties, Pascual
and Ramos, always are about as tough as
any duo in the business, carrying over their
winter baseball form. That they are one
two in strikeoutS bears this out again But
spring isn't for long. It's coming up June
pretty soon.

KANSAS CITY, May 25.-
The Senators don't expect to
win every game they play, but
they are tired of giving them
away.
Instead of occupying fifth
place by a percentage point
over the Twins, the Senators
still are a game out of that
desirable spot and they've only
themselves to blame.
The Athletics did all they
could with the exception of
tying a ribbon around last
nights contest. But bases on
balls and a two-baSe error by
Chuck Hinton, rookie left
fielder, gave it right back to
the AS, 6-5.
The Senators today called on
Dick Donovan, experienced in
Illustration. to take the rubber
match against the AS. Joe
Nuxhall was to pitch for K. c.
The Washington club will fly
home after the game to open a
long home stand against the
Twins tomorrow night.
Walks Hurt Sturdivant
Donovan, who has pitched
well enough to win four games
and is, instead, 0-4 for the sea-
son, has been nursing pulled
muscle in his side. He pitched
two innings of relief against
Los Angeles Monday night, his
first action since April 80.
Tom Sturdivant pitched we'll
for seven innings last night,
giving up only six hits. But he
walked three, and all three
scored.
Still, the Senators had a 5-4
lead as John Gabler faced the
as in the last of the ninth. But
Leo PoSada drilled a single past
Third Baseman Harry Bright
and the ball, though not trav-
cling hard. went through a
charging Hinton. While Hinton
slipped and fell and picked
himself up and gave pursuit.
PoSada went to third base.
Haywood Sullivan hit a dou-
BILE off the rightfield wall 10
send in Posada with the tying
run. Pinch-hitter Don Larsen
hit ground ball to ShortStop
Coot Veal, who threw to Bright
in an attempt to get Sullivan at
third, but he was safe.

"Sturdivant let the game get

The AS committed four err
rors-two by Third Baseman
Lou Klimchock and one each
by his substitute, Wayne Casey
and Shortstop Howser-giving
the Senators three unearned
runs.
Senators Take Lead
Sturdivant walked the first
batter, Howser, in the first in

on Norm Siebern's double.
The Senators went ahead,
