Super vision and instruction by Messrs. SPORTS Chatter (Continued from Page 1) runs, one of which was unearned and walked five men. Everett Stephenson, the league’s leading pitcher, has been having trouble with that old “home-run” pitch this season. Fred Pence con tacted him with a homer in the last of the seventh to give the Methodists a win over the formid able Chapel team, Lee Marett broke up the All-Star-Friendship Chapel game with his homer in the top of the seventh, after Doyle Turner's two homers had kept the All-Stars in the game. In the Friendship Chapel - Ridgecrest game, Paul Harris tied up the game with a fourth inning homer. However, Stephenson looked mighty good in the second inning of that game when he bore down and struck out three tough batters in a row, Turner, Gray and John son. “Punk”' Willis has developed a “new look” in his pitching style. It looks as if it might add speed, something Willis always lacked, but, just now, it has hurt his con trol, whieh was always a strong point. The old saying that a pitcher is usually a poor hitter doesn’t apply to our league. Stevens and Whitaker are feared as distance hitters, while Stephenson who “hits away” more often this year is pulling up his batting average. Styles is a hard man to get out, and “Pug" Morgan who is at present in a batting slump is apt to break out with a rash of hits anytime. Cecil Nanney keeps saying he is “too old to play ball,” but his actions belie his words. In the games he’s played he has come up with some sensational catches and at present has nine hits out of 17 times at bat. We remember Cecil as the home run king of the first year of church league play. But enough of sports chatter and on to the Sports Story of the week. "Joe DiMaggio was discussing those $75,000 salaries being paid to a few baseball heroes. He ex plained a plaveFs peak activity is limited to a few 7 years, that he is conscious of this constant fight against the inroads of age, and that he must make the most of his limited time at the top. Listening to Joe without any sympathy was Mrs. Paul Gallico, w ife of the famous author. ‘‘Now,” she said, “you have some idea of how it feels to be a woman.” • TRY A CLASSIFIED-They sell Albany and Leavitt.
