HEADS ANGELS ROCKIES
l. A. Already Touting
Catcher Bob RODGERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (AP).-'
The Los Angeles drumbeaters,
even at this early stage, already
are boosting one of their own
for rookie-of-the-year honors
for 1862. They have a good can
didate in Bob Rodgers, a %
year-old switch-hitting catcher
who made a good impression
in a sort of preview appearance
last September.
Rodgers, who oddly enough
lives in Prospect, Ohio, is one
of Is freshmen who will report
to the youth minded Angels
training camp in Palm Springs,
Calf, next month. The Angels
accent on youth is illustrated
by their roster, which averages
nder rs years in age per player
Bob is one of the youngsters
drafted by General Manager
Fred Haney when the Angels
were organized in the winter of
1860. He was acquired from De-
troit. Last year at Dallas-Fort
Worth, Rodgers batted 1856 in
1874 games, with three home
runs and 81 runs batted in.
Natural Ability
Irv Kaze, the Angels pub
licity chief, contends that Rodg-
erS has a chance to become a
long range American League
catching star. He bases his con-
tention on the youngsters nat
ural ability, plus what he
showed in Is games with Los
Angeles last September. During
that stretch he batted 1921 and
knocked in Is runs while hit
ting two homers, one a grand
slammer.
I'VE are counting on Rodgers
in 1862" Manager Bill Rigney
said. "He has shown me he is
a fine receiver and good handler
of pitchers. He looks like he's
going to be a solid hitter"
Haney calls the youngster
who attended Ohio WESLEYAN,
and Ohio Northern colleges,
lone of the finest catching
prospects I've seen in quite some
time"
Nine of the newcomers are
pitchers. Those with the best
chance appear to be Dean
Chance, a 20-year-old right
handler, and AL Neiger, a 23-
year-old lefthander. Chance, a

surface for nine races a day?
Charley Funk, the Charles
Town track superintendent,
wants just that. And he has
sound reasons for desiring sub
freezing temperatures.
For more than a week, thaw-
ing conditions have nearly
wrecked the 34-mile racing
surface at Charles Town. The
frost, snow and ice which was
buried below the surface have
boiled to the top to cause a
deep, muddy footing. The chart
callers term it heavy.
After last Saturdays torren-
tial rain, Funk, who is referred
to as the track magician, worked
the entire week end pressing
water out of the track with
huge floats drawn by tractors
IT believe we have gotten
nearly all of the frost out of it"
Funk said, watching disconso-
lately as snow came down in
flurrieS yesterday.
"A cold wave is predicted
and that's music to my ears.
Once this track tightenS up in
sub-freezing temperatures, we
can then bring out the discs
and cut a good dry racing sur
face on the top"
Funk, a native of Chambers
burg, Pa, has been employed
at Charles Town since the early
1950s. beginning as a construc-
ton man. He inherited the track
superintendent job shortly be-
fore the Cohen brothers of Bal
timore bought the track in 1859
He has learned his unusual
job through experience with the
wide variety of weather in the
Shenandoah Valley and con-
sultation with other race track
surface experts.
It Is not unusual for Funk to
put in 20-hour days during the
winter session, directing his 81
man crew in the battle to keep
the track open. This meeting
has been a real test to date,
with two major snowstorms,
sleet, heavy rains and the dew
aStating thaw.
About the only thing Funk
gets to read these days are
weather reports.
If it turns cold as predicted

doubt school officials will re-
examine these matters as a
result.
This is not to say that the
District school officials have
their eyes closed to the prob
lem. There has been a major
effort this year to promote
craftsmanship among Interhigh
League pupils.
However, one bad incident
can ruin months of hard work
It's tough to have to start
over again.
One veteran basketball Off
cial blamed the trouble at Tech
on lack of respect. He wasn't
necessarily speaking of respect
for teachers and police-he
meant respect for the boys who
play the game. The youngsters
put in long hours of practice
in order to represent their
schools and deserve respect
from classmates and outsiders

after that first welcome sighting

quite conclusive. The uncom-
forting word was apparently"
to which I took instant dislike.
Then came the reports that
he was waving his arms at the

it for most, although there are

In case you missed "At The
Drop Of a Hat" too, here are
some excerpts from enthusias-
tic reviews Of the two-man (Mi-
chael Flanders, Donald Swami
revue that may convince you to
stay home.
The New York Herald -Trib-
une'S man found it "just as good
as it ever was in the the
ater. If anything, it was better.
Most Of the patter which Flan-
ders propounded between num-
bers was new and delicious
ly funny and sometimes sharp
ly satiric. There were also
q couple Of new numbers in ad-
dition to such familiar delights
as I'm a Gnu and The Reluc-
tant Cannibal.'"
The New York Times man
thought it might be better
suited to the stage but admitted
it "often was tremendously
amusing"
We should mention that
their revue was a solid hit on
its original Broadway presen-
tation.
