Kent Education Group
Gets Activity Award
(contin ded from page one)

A scrapbook committee develop
ed the plans for the project. The
committee requested the help of
the officers, the board of directors,
all committee members, and build
ing representatives in collect
ing materials for inclusion in the
scrapbook.
After the materials were collect
ed, they were arranged by the
committee and attractively s.
played in an oversize scrapbook
with wooden cover and metal
hinges. The 20" X 80" scrapbook
contains 81 pages divided into Is
sections. Each section begins with
a symbol related to the section.
One section of the scrapbook
deals with leadership conference
sponsored by the association to
prepare members to take more
active role in professional affairs.
Another section covers a humani-
ties workshop at which members
considered the role of the humani-
ties in an age of science. A third
section reports on a EurOp n
travel and study program con-
ceived by the Kent County Educa
tion Association and sponsored by
the state education association.
The scrapbook has fulfilled its
primary objectives of providing a
permanent record of the years
program and of increasing mem
bers' awareness of their profes
sional associations. 1t has also in
voked enthusiasm among members
of the Kent County Education AS
sOciation, who gave the associa-
tion record year worth emulating.
In addition, the scrapbook has
been a source of ideas for other
organizations whose members have
examined it.

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
In Dodgertown, Not So Much Hoop|o
BY FRANCIS STANN

Aston sensed the next question be-
fore 1t could be phrased. Don't ask me
why we scored so many runs on so little
power and such low batting average.
Maybe it was speed, maybe 1t was luck,
maybe simply timely hitting"
Maybe" he appended, "it was COM
bination. But speed must have played some
part" The books show the Dodgers were
the fleetest Of all MI clubs last season.
They stole SO bases and could make the
dasheS from first to third and second to
home.
Eyes, I think our running helped a
lot" Aston conceded But having speed
isn't enough. You've got to have power, too"
SAN FRANCISCO HAD POWER. The
Giants scored 118 more runs than they al
lowed las against the Dodgers final tally
of 48 more runs, yet Los Angeles beat out
its California enemies, who finished third.
What power we had" Aston volun-
teerS, was mostly lefthanded. This sounds
strange, know, when you consider that
we played in the Coliseum and had our
righthanded hitters shooting at that trick
wire fence $50 feet from home plate.
But our power came from John Rose
boro Ron Fairly, Wally Moon and Snider.
All except Moon had to hit the ball mile
for home run OF all the hitters I've had
during our four years in the Coliseum,
Moon was the only one who adapted him.

handed hittsrs consistently pulled the ball

he said. What a shame he didn't get to

THIS is THE YEAR of Chavez Ravine
for the Dodgers The lavish arena with its
$1,000 seats, $4,000 parking spaces and uni
form 325-foot foul lines will be shared by
the Dodgers and Angels, but it really is the
National Leaguers' home. Specifically, it's
Project O'Malley.
Aston thinks Chavez Ravine will help
his club for several reasons. "It will mean
that our lefthanded hitters won't have to
hit the ball any harder than the right
handlers to get home rum" Walt says.
"It also means that our pitchers won't
have that monStrosity of a screen looking
over their shoulders. It means that our
hitters won't be tempted to change their
natural styles, as they were with 25O-foot
fence"
There is one other reason which Aston
proffers. Chavez Ravine will be park in
which our players will take PRIDE" Walt
says. Tt's their ball park; the Coliseum
wasn't. Everybody kidded them about the
Coliseum. Nobody will kid them about

VERO BEACH, Fla, Mar. 15.-You
don't hear the hoopla in Dodgertown,
U. S. A., that was heard year ago. The
so-called experts don't predict a National

Everybody is hopeful, but nobody is spend

I'VE were over-optimistic year ago."
Manager Walt Aston confesses. That in
Guided me. We looked at the good minor
league records of the young players and
were impressed. None of us was quite as
practical as he should have been. And, then,
we were hurt by those injuries"
The speedy, unrelated Davis boys, Tom
and Willie, had burned up the Pacific
Coast League. The Older Davis-Tom,
who isn't quite 23-had batted .S46 for
Spokane in 49, Willie, year younger also
led the Pei in go with .346. They were
supposed to arrive last season but didn't.
Tom hit 278, Willie only 254
People were rating our kids with
established players like Mays Mathews,
Aaron, Pinson and Robinson" Aston points
out. "ShuckS, you know what they're
going to hit. 1t was a mistake to assume
that our youngsters could do in the majors
what they did in the minors"
THEN THERE WERE the casualties
I'm not going to dwell on the injuries,
says Aston, the ex-schoolmaster from
Ohio. 'It's enough to remind everybody
that Duke Snider, our power hitter, broke
an elbow in the eighth game of the season
and that Daryl Spencer broke leg on July
4. The only other ones that cost us were
to Charley Neal, who's gone now, and to
Larry and Norm Sherry.
But we didn't play too we'll Our
lefthanded pitchers-sandy Koufax, john
ny Podres and Ron Perranoski- sharp,
but our righthanders- Drysdale, Larry

statistics. I'VE were fifth in club batting
and only the Phillies had fewer total bases"
Walt says as accurately as if he were reading
from the record book 1--WE were sixth in
pitching.
when your pitching and hitting are
down that far, he smiles, wryly, you easily
can finish fifth or sixth in the standing.
We managed to finish second, though, be-
cause for some reason we scored more runs
than any club in the league except the
Giants"

have escaped most people-735 runs scored,

The Reds got only five hits
three off John Gabler in his
debut, and two singles in the
last three innings off Fred
Green, the lanky lefthander
obtained from the Pirates.
Gabler, who had elbow trou-
BILE last spring, said he threw
with more freedom than at
this time last year, but he was
not quite satisfied. Green, who
gave up the only run on a
walk and Coleman's single, was
sharp.

Ycuzu Gives
Garry Back
Big Boost

MIAMI, Mar. Is (AP).-
Garry Backs owners. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Price, must feel en-
couraged today on their choice
of Manual Ycaza to ride their
thoroughbred in the Gulfstream
Park Handicap Saturday.
Ycaza booted Eurasia to q
record-matching victory on the
turf yesterday in Gulfstream's
SIT, 500 Green Valley Handicap.
Eurasia ran the mile and one
sixteenth under top weight of
122 pounds in 1:41, tying the
American turf mark for the
distance set three years ago
by One Eyed King.
Ycaza said his Greentree
Stable mount turned it on
when he needed it" to hold a
neck's margin over Masonic,
who surged up from dead last
in a field of nine.
Ycaza was engaged a week
ago by Price, of Dorchester
Farm Stable, to succeed Johnny
Sellers, who rode Garry Back
after his campaign as a 2-year-
old and hung up nine victories
in 16 starts last year. Sellers
triumphs aboard Garry Back
included last seasons Florida
Derby, Kentucky Derby and
PreakneSS.
However, this season, victory
eluded Sellers and Garry Back
in the Palm Beach, Seminole
and Widener Handicaps-they
finished second in each-and
the horse also wound up third
in the New Orleans Handicap
under Sellers ride.
Price said, II must have re-
ceived 200 letters from people
all over the country demanding
that I change riders or do
something to keep Garry Back
from getting beat.
Sellers is a wonderful boy
and I would rather cut off nyE
right arm than hurt him. But
Garry Back has lost four
straight races this year. and we
feel we've got to try something
different"

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-15

Bouldin, who signed after
school last year, had a 80 rec
ord with Pensacola, 6-5 with
Middlesboro, and pitched 3h
innings in two appearances
with the Senators. He struck
out l09 in 70 innings at Mid
dlesboro.
TaSby Makes Debut
A favoring wind behind the
righthanded hitters helped the
Senators yesterday, but the
same breeze was valueless to
the Reds. The only ball hit off
Bouldin was a line drive to
Willie Tasby in left. Willie was
making his debut after sitting
out four games with a stiff
neck.
The Reds paraded four pitch
ers and two of them, Jim Ma
lone (6-9) and Ken Hunt g.

captured the pennant last year.
John Flavin. who was SO with
Topeka, was bombed for five
runs in the sixth. The only
pitcher to escape was Bob
Miller. former bonus boy with
the Tigers, who gave up a
single to Tasby in the eighth.
Bob johnson, Schmidt and
Chuck Cottier parked home
run balls over the leftfield
fence, Danny O'Connell smack
ed two doubles to right, and
Dale Long included a double in
his three hits.
NOTES.-The Dodgers move

Ray Rippelmeyer and Jim
