M MB f* r fa fl bMer TODAY'S SPORT PARADE By OSCAR FRALEY • (United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (If) Major league baseball scouts are missing the boat. The boat to Africa, that is. “Where are the baseball modems who can hit, throw, field and run the bases like the stalwarts of a' generation ago?" the Immortal Ty Cobb recently asked. Nobody knows, although the big league “ivory hunters” have been doing what appeared to be a capable job. All you have to do is take a peek at the major league rosters and you understand how much ground they have covered. For instance there are 24 guys from eight foreign countries in the majors this season. That includes 14 from Cuba, four from Canada and one each from Scotland, Austraia, Venezuela, Mexico, Czecho slovakia and France. There are 38 players from 13 foreign countries if you want to count the 10 from Brooklyn and one from Chattachooohe, Qa.; Cou shatta, La.; Marmaduke, Ark., and Holland, Mich. • But the National Georgraphic Society has come up with a tip that may send the scouts storming into Africa, and don’t think that’s too far fetched considering that Bill Veeck is having the Japanese scouted for his St. Louis Browns. Anyhow, for the benefit of some enterprising ball club, the National Georgraphic in a special news bulletlng' tip off the "ivory hunters” to the fuzzy-wuzzies of the Anglo-Egyptlan Sudan. These are the same fighting men lauded by Rudyard Kipling and who could be immortalized in the future by our dashing baseball writers. The Fuzzy-Wuzzies, the National Georgraphic tips, have away of settling minor differences which fits Cobb’s prescription for coming 1 up to the big leagues “the hard way.” For instance, when two men quarrel they strip to the waist and each takes a place in a small circle about as far as it is from home plate to the pitcher’s mound. At hand are piles of rocks the size of baseballs. At a starting signal, they let fly at each other. Control is a necessity in this sport, because there just ain’t gonna be anybody running in from the bull pen. The characters at odds may dodge or catch the flying stones But the lad who cringes out of his circle is branded a coward. So from now on I’ll laugh at anybody who says a pitcher-wtth no body throwing back at him-is the epitome of courage. Pitchers who throw infield liners expected. Stone duels can be serious, the National Georgraphic admits, but adds that they can be deadly when two entire tribes start pitching as is it was the final game of the World Series. Then it is assumed the situation assumes the aspect of the Boston Red Sox infield. Buy, anyhow, it looks like .it’s worth investigation. These warriors are natural-born athletes. Their couage is unquestioned. rThere is Ino doubt about their ability to throw and, as for their running they chase mountain goats into the crags and bean theim with these I same baseball sized stones. Only one question remains unanswered. Can they hit? City in 1951, appeared today to 4)61 winning a regular berth in the New I York Yankees’ outfield on the pow er of his lusty bat.
