Thanks again — GARLAND E. j STILL Herald Sports By David Baity . .What Now? — That’s a good question for one of the most promising pitchers in the (base ball world in years. The rising pitcher was Herb Score, until he was hit flush in the eye (by a line drive rifled from the bat of Yan kee Gil MdDougafld. The twenty - three year . old and million dollar southpaw of the Cleveland Indians was in bad shape but doctors announced that he would not lose the eyeball. At this writing it was too early to teL'l if the vision would be im paired. Fortunately for Score, the ball caught him flush. Striking the top of the eyebrow tbone, the cheekbone, and nose, the (ball fractured Score’s nose. The (bones of his face absorbed most of the shock that would have destroyed his eye. Luckily, there was no brain injury. The eye will be saved and eye specialist said. Damage could not be told because of a hemorrhage. More Eye Trouble — You’ve seen the new, curved windshields, of course. Well, here’s one for the book — or maybe the optomet rists . Dick Hyde, Washington rookie Who wears glasses, dis covered one day, while trying to keep a man on first, that he could not see through his glasses while looking out of the corner of his eye. So Dick ordered new glasses which are so big they look like something a comic wears. But they do the job and he can now keep the base runners close. Novice — Leo Durocher was doing the commentary for NIBIC’s 'IGame of the Week” in a radio booth adjoining that of the Dod ger broadcasters. Allan Sloth, the nimble - brained Brook statisti cian, listened to the former man ager for a spell, then gave his critique: ‘“Good voice for radio, out he doesn’t know a thing a bout baseball!” Capsule Sizeup — johnny 1L0 gan says thus concerning Mil waukee (Manager Fred Haney: The more contact you have with him, the tougher he gets. But he’s teaching us more baseball than any of us knew before. He isn’t making it easier for us to like him personally, but he’s making it easier for us to win (because we’re a smarter team than we were last year.” Short Measure — Football’s fabulous referee, Jim Ourfee, was a squelcher supreme who slaugh tered anybody rash enough to cross him. One alftemoon, (Milan Creighton, coach of the Chicago Cardinals, started needling him from the sidelines. Durfee refus ed to (be baited. Towards the end otf the game, he caught Creighton illegally shouting instructions to his players. Durfee tooted his -whistle and paced oflf ten yards against the Cardinals. ‘What's that for, Jim?” roared Creighton,. 'That’s for coaching from the sidelines.” “You don't knolw what, you’re doing,” belloiwed the Cardinal coach, “and that proves it. The penalty for illegal coaching is 15 yards.” “I know, Milan,” said Durfee pityingly, “(but the kind o(f coach ing you do Is only worth ten yards.” A Helping Hand — Alvin Dark insists that it is a pleasure to be playing with Stan Musial. “(He is the greatest,” the soft spoken (Louisianian said, “a n d if I can help him hit Ibetter, I’ll try.” “How can you help?” was ask ed. ‘iBy gettinlg on base," Dark re plied. “By hitting better myself. Don’t get me wrong. iMusial is a great hitter without any hellp. ®ut every top hitter performs better when he bats‘behind a runner.” Cold Turkey — The 1935 World Series between the Oulbs and Tig ers was played in bitter cold. The first two games in Detroit found the temperature hovering around the 40 degree mark. Then the dlulbs moved to Chicago. (Mike 'Jacolbs, the fabulous ‘box ing promoter, froze through the first two days and then made the trek to Chicago, where the mer cury hit a less than oozy 50 de grees. This was Mike’s first Se ries. He actually hated baseball. He knetw nothing albout it and at tended the Series just to be seen. He,sat 'bundled in a big coat, sad ly watchinlg the teams run through their practice. Suddenly he stiffened. (He look ed at the players out on the field, then turned to his companion. What’s going on out there?” he demanded indignantly. “It’s them same two teams that wuz playing each other in Detroit!” Tulip bulbs should be taken up and replanted every second year.

L Recreation Diiector lake Eariy Feels At Home In New Job Here ‘tBaselbal’l has meant a lot to me, I’d like to 'give something to the game,” says Jake Early as he goes about his newly-aiplpaint ed duties as Kings Mountain Rec reation Director. Early is at home in his new capacity, hawing played tfootiball, basketball, and baseball for three seasons at Kings Mountain High. He has great hopes for his rec reation program here in Kings Mountain and feels that he can do something for the area young people. Recently named tutor of the Post 195 (American (Legion Junior team he says that things (look good after only three workouts. Thirty iboys are reported on the team roster. (With the Kings Mountain clufb opening action on May 31 at home against Shelby, the good - natured coach isn’t worried at ail. IHe wants to play several exhibition games (before the .season gets underlay, though. Early, veteran in the pro ranks for 19 years, ibroke into profes sional hail with Jacksonville of the South 'Atlantic League in 1936. IHe moved uip to Charlotte in 1938 and enjoyed his best sea son. ‘IWe Ifinished half a game off the pace set iby Norfolk and I finished with a .300 batting average,” Ihe recalls. Jake was shilpped to the “Ibig time” in £1940, spending all but one otf his 13-year Major League career with the (Washington Sen ators, who finished second in 1943. (He spent one season (with the St. Louis Brawns and two yearn /with the iU. S. Army. Owner otf a J280 lifetime batting average, (Early caught over 800 games during his career, finish ing it iwlth the Tri-State (League Hornets in 1954. “These Little League and Pony League teams they now have are great for the kids,” states Early. ‘IWe used to gather up some fel lows and walk aibout a mile or two down the creek to play our baseiball dn an open field. “We had to wait until our high school days before playing or ganized lba.ll when 1 was a young ster.” He feels the Area (Four will toe1 a rat • race with 12 good dubs entered. ‘We have some pretty good looking prospects and with a (lit tle luck, we may raise a few eye Ibrows.” Belmont Crashes Mountaineeis 6*0 As Hilton Pitches 2-Hit Shutout Belmont crushed the Mountain eers Iby a score olf 6-0 in their sec ond Southwestern AA conference tilt this season. The scene oif the Mountaineer’s defeat iwas (City Stadium, time 3:30. It was Belmont all the way, taking a lead in the first inning and clinching the game in the sixth. Tolby Bradshaw started the show when he went to first on an error Iby Mountaineer shortstop M’dGinnis. IHe went to ■ second when 'Bowers overthrew in an at tempt to stop his steal. Kermlt Williams, Belmont second . sack er, grounded out to third (base. Dick Suggs went to second base on an error toy Bowers. In an at tempt to cut off Bradshaw at third, Bowers again overthrew and Bradshaw crossed the plate for the first tally. The next two men ulp filed out, retiring Bel mont with a 1-0 'lead over the Mountaineers, In the sixth frame the Whole Belmont team had a chance at the plate, Miller poling a two ibagger to start the rally. Byers got on via an error by Thomas. Don IHayes flied out to second sacker Tignor.
