THE SPORTS STAGE

DIAMOND DUST: “He’s quite a character,” said Fred
Hutchinson, the Cardinals manager, “a character because
he’s so intense, tries so hard that, gritting his teenth, glower
ing and bearing down so much, he looks like the meanest man
in town. Yet he’s a real nice kid.”
The subject, sports fajis, was Joseph Robert Cunning
ham, blond 26-year-old reserve first baseman who fought
his way into the Redbirds’ lineup fibd most recently has
been the hottest hitter of the National League’s surprise
ball club.
Hutchinson and his coaches have a fondness for Cunning
ham that goes back to or before the 6-foot-l, 190 pound
athlete ever got a base hit for them. As Coach Terry Moore
said in spring training, “A guy they won’t keep off this ball
club is Joe Cunningham. When Hutchinson suggested the
way for an extra first baseman to make it would ^ to show
some ability plimged right into it. This guy really wants to
play.”
Still not fast, Cunningham was slow and awkward
when his bat and aptitude impressed Scout Benny ^rg-
mann back in 1949. That’s when Joe began to take up
dancing—his other hobby is skiing — to improve his
ability and, in addition, he practiced stopping and start
ing to increase his speed.
By the time he finished military service and hit so prom
isingly that Manager Eddie Stanl^ asked for him in mid
season 1954, the left handed hitting blond bomber came up
to break in spectacularly as a replacement for Tom Alston,
the $100,000 acquisition and the Cardinals first Negro play-
cr, a clever finder who couldn’t hit, Cunningham homer^
and doubled at Cincinnati his first ni^ht up, then hammered
two home runs off Southpaw Warren Spahn at Milwaukee
the next afternoon. ,
Buck Forbes, a big solid bulk of a man, will be back in
the Eagles lineup for the coming football season. This
will be a big factor in the Eagle backfield. Coach Her
man Riddick stated: “I plan to use Buck in my back
field. He’s big, mean, and plus the fact he has speed.
With him running the ball, along with my other back
field and linemen, we should have another champion-
sliip football team.”
INSIDE SPORTS: “COUNTRY” LEWIS GETS NEW
COLLEGE ATHLETIC POST. Two promotions in the ad
