Schumacher, who sella baseball bats, won 23 (antes for the 1M4 Giants. Hall of Earner Hub won 21 that season. By FRANK ECK AP NemfntuiM Sport* Editor Ten yean ago Prince Hal Schu macher treated all hitters as though they were trying to take the meat from hi* table. Today they are Ms bread and butter. Schumacher, a great right band er who pitched in the shadow of Hall of Faraer Carl Hubbell. won 23 games for the New York Giants in 1034. He put in 13 years in the big time. In 1046 at 35 he tried a comeback but gave up after winning only four games The hitters beat him. Now he travels almost 20.000 miles a year to help put bits back into the swings <>f batter* in both Issues. A few years ago Schu. a grad uate of St. Lawrence University, talked about laminated baseball bats. Two years later it was thick handle bats and this spring he has come up with flame treated bats. "They'll burn up the leagues," says Schu. "The barrels of the bats are treated over a flame 1,800 degrees. Batters no longer must hone or bone their bats to seal the pores. The flame helps bind together the wood fibers. The idea came from the Indians, not the Cleveland kind. They uied flame to harden the heads of their spears" Schumacher says If the flame treated bats go over, next year they will be made for children ahd then for Little Leaguers. "Ted Kluszewski, Mickey Vernon and Gil Hodges used the bat with the light colored handle and dark barrel late last season." says Schu. "They got good results. Hodges switched to the bat in the World Series. After getting only one hit In the first three gardes he went to the flame-treated bat in the fourth game and drove out a home run and two singles. And his bat drove in both runs to win the seventh and deciding game for Brooklyn." Schumachee, besides catering to the whims of the hitters as to handle thickness, weight, length and graii), also signs young play ers for bat autographs. "I've signed a lot of youngsters (he last two years," says Schu, "but 1 haven't signed a real good hitter since Willie Mays came up. But then who has? I missed De troit's A1 Kaline by one day!" A lot of baseball teams also missed Kaline. IAFF ? A - DAY &IMSIY &ho? sra "Well take a boa borne ? we east afford to walkl" , 1 Bowling I ! '.0.

(Bus) BRIDGES This so-called "blackberry wiri er" Weather we have been having 'oi the past few days has curtailed tohing, especially in the streams if this section. The water was lust beginning to warm up a bit, ivhen "bang" it turned cool again. We have heard of only a few "etches in the trout fishing, but some of them were nice creels. We cannot help but think back some twenty to twenty-five yeari igo when trout Ashing in this sec tion was somewhat different from ivlutt is is today. Back in the "good >ld days" an angler had only to trive a short distance into the mountains to some fast-flowing itream and get as many of the native speckle trout as he desired. Perhaps that is why there are so Few of them today, and the re docking operations so heavy. The ingler did not conserve the fish. 'Conservation of the fish in our dreams is Just as Important as Mving the forests or the land if we are to have fishing In the fu mre. Even today with the heavy ?estocking program in effect, the toh only stay in the streams a few lays until they are caught by some ingler The answer has not as let been found to keeping our dreams well stocked with trout. Lake fishing is beginning to lick up and should reach its peek his month. We were talking to one of the wardens last week that checks Fon ana and he stated that Saturday was one of the biggest days for Ishermen on that lake so far this fear. He. checked some 45 ang ers in a little over an hour Satur iay morning and was Just scratch ing the surface as far as numbers lo. Ptchind In ttio loeflor Inlroc <? ilso Betting better. Several nice strings of bass have been reported from Fontana, and the crappie seem to be larger this year. Canton Downfe Blue Demons to Bethel 11-5 t Canton wrapped up another Blue lidge Conference victory Tuesday it Bethel by whipping the Blue Demons, 11-5. It was the second win of the season for the Black Sears over the host team. Rhineliart was on the mound for Canton and gave up only four bits, while bis mates were getting eight iff Bethel pitcher Capps. Neither earn committed any errors. Bobby Miller sparked the Black Sear attack with four for four. Canton 100 243 1?11 8 0 Jethel 010 002 2? S 4 0 Bhinehart and Baxter; Capps and Jurris, Henson (8). Johnson Replaces Cy Young NEW YORK <AP> ? The revis ed edition of "The Official En cyclopedia of Baseball," by S. C. rhompson and the late Hjr Turkin shows that Walter Johnson has re placed Cy Young dad the hoMer it the record for the most games ever played by a pitcher. Jotomon was in W0 major league games. *4 more than Young. The mm Wi den hat been published by A. 8. Barnes 4t Co. ? Hi Incidentally, two of us last Sat urday managed to get 29 nice crappie in just a few hours Ashing. Hiawassee is beginning to pro duce some nice pike as well as small-mouth bass and crappie. A number of nice catches have been reported from this lake. Just a bit of advice to those who fish the TV A lakes at nl&ht. The Tennessee Valley Author ity require that you have a light of some sort for safety sake, and with the amount of debris that is floating on the lakes, It Is almost a necessity. But there is another warning. If you do not know the lake, the chances of getting lost arc good. Last Saturday we found a boat with two fishermen, who, inci dental was doing a good turn to another angler that had motor trouble and was towing him in, that did not have the slightest idea where they were. They had plenty of light, but with the water rising so rapidly it changes the appear ances of the shoreline. They fol lowed us to the boat dock, where we found they were running short on gasoline. Fishing can be fun, but if you are lost on one of the lakes when there is no moon, it can be any thing but fun, and could turn into a tragedy. Practice safety on the water as well as on the land. This section is becoming known far and wide for its Ashing. We have reports that a number of anglers from other states have journeyed long distances to try their luck in our streams and lakes. Welcome to our section and may your luck be good. me nrsi woikoui oi me season j for Mountaineer Pony League play- ( ers will be held at I p.m. Saturday < on the Hazelwood Little League i diamond, according to Manager Rock Powers. ? j All boys aged 13 and 14 are 1 eligible to try out -for one of the four Pony League squads.
