ing forward, Wayne Stanley , has
dropped only two contests in the
tough Industrial loop competition

Valley Springs tournament by lick
ing the fine Black Mountain VFW

The current scoring ace for the

current lineup generally is well
balanced otherwise; as far as scor
ing power is concerned.
BALTIMORE CHANGES MIND
AND NAME OF STADIUM
(AP Newsfeatures)
BALTIMORE - Baltimore's hy
brid stadium cross between a
modern, concrete-stand arena and
an elderly wooden bowl has had
its name changed once again.
The stadium was named for Babe
Ruth almost immediately after that
baseball great died In August, 1948.
A large wobden sign reading "Babe
Ruth Stadium1' was erected outside
the structure.
Veterans groups protested. They
pointed out the arena was to have
been a memorial for the city's
World War II dead. Little heard at
first, the complaints gained force
and finally avalanched.
Sixteen months after the hasty
christening, a city-wide veterans
committee once more carried its
case before Mayor Thomas D'Ale
sandro, 'Jr.. He agreed the bowl
should be a war memorial after all.
Down went the Babe Ruth sign in
a hurry, it's the Baltimore Memo
rial Stadium now.
