Tuesday, May 17, 1949 NEVADA CITY NUGGET ; Page Three By JOE MAHONEY BOSTON'S “SPLENDID SPLINTER,” GETS MORE WALKS PER GAME THAN ANY OTHER BATTER IN ALL BASEBALL HISTORY. SPORTSCOPE IN 1919 THERE WERE 531 THOROUGHBREDS COMPETING ON AMERICAN : 3 TRACKS. IN 1947 THERE CHUCK BEONARIK, PENNS BRILLIANT CENTER, RECALLS THE TIME HE PLAYED AGAINST ARMY.AND BLANCHARD AND DAVIS. “DAVIS RAN AWAY FROM ME,”SAYS CHUCK, “AND BLANCHARD RAN OVER NE!” -—SPORTLIGHT AS 16 MAJOR league clubs move off under full steam, there will be more than one or two high spots to watch as the campaign rolls along. It is’only natural that most of these elevated notches will take in the stars of 1948, such as Stan Musial, Lou _ Boudreau, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Harry’ Brecheen, Gene Bearden, the home-run duel between Ralph Kiner and Johnny Mize, plus such odGrantland Rice dities as Larry “Yogi’’ Berra’s catching improvement. With Joe DiMaggio’s wounded heel in such a precarious state, the three holdover leaders from 1948 will be Musial, Williams and Boudreau. Boudreau is the mystery man. His batting average for 10 seasons is now .299. It was well below this mark. at this date last season. Yet the Cleveland pilot lifted his batting count to .355, a phenomenal upward leap. Lou is now 32 years old. The question is: Will the Cleveland star keep in the general neighborhood of .355 this season, or drop back to his lifetime average, around .299? Boudreau’s 1949 career will write an important chapter in the new American league race. What about the duel between Williams and Musial? Last year Musial struck for .376, Williams for .369. Musial hit 39 home runs, Williams 25. Musial drove home 131 runs, Williams 127, The Cardinal slugger had a fair edge in every department of hiting, but it will be interesting to see whether he can repeat this triumph against. one of the greatest hitters of all time. On the other side of the question, it might be noted that Stan Musial can also handle the old ash rather deftly. His lifetime big league average is .348, Williams’ being .354. These are the two top men today, with no one else close. What about. the big league pitching duel between Harry Brecheen and Gene Bearden? Last year each won 20 and dropped 7 for a mark of .741. Brecheen allowed 2.24 earned runs per game, Bearden 2.43. This is about as close as the count can be. Johnny Sain, the “Brave’s able These Hitters Will Bear Watching By GRANTLAND RICE star, won 24 games to lead both leagues. Hal Newhouser, possibly the best pitcher in baseball today— at least he is one of the best three —is another contender who hopes to lead both leagues in games won, even with only an average outfit. Newhouser would roll home working with the Red Sox or Indians. Sain, Newhouser and Vic Raschi should lead the pitchers with Brecheen, Bearden and Lemon close. The Home-Run: Picture The section or sector allotted to home-run hitters will be a highlyinteresting compartment this season. First of all, it is high time the Johnny Mize-Ralph Kiner deadlock was broken, The two tied in 1947 and they remained tied in ’48. They each struck off 51 homers in 1947 and 40 last year, making a total of 91. This can’t go on forever. It is due to be snapped this new season. Last season both Joe DiMaggio and Stan Musial hit 39 home runs each. *“‘Here’s the odd part about this count,’’ Stan Musial told me this spring. ‘I actually hit 41 homers. Two were credited only as two-base-hits. Yet certain umpires stated they were home runs, They really were.” “There’s no question of a doubt about this fact,’’ manager Eddie Dyer cut in. ‘Stan actually had 41 homers last year, which would have given him the triple crown.” Umpires make few mistakes. But. apparently two blew a pair of four-baggers in the Musial case. Musial rarely complains. The fact that he was supported by. Eddie Dyer and a number of umpires is proof enough that he was right. No one can say yet whether Ted Williams will go out for right field swinging into the home-run zones, or fight for the batting leadership of his league. Williams and: Musial are two all-star hitters. The condition of Joe DiMaggio’s heel may eliminate one of the strong contenders. Mize, Kiner, Musial and Williams should provide most of the four-base artillery. But there is one more entry—Sid Gordon of the Giants. Gordon blasted 30 home runs last season. He is far in front of the pack this spring, with a March and early April record that takes you back to the big years of Babe Ruth. This home-run scramble should be one of the most interesting features of the new season. palesiowr seckasbuene By Tom Grecory Another use for HERE'S ONE FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN.

CLOTHESPINS ars 10 By INEZ GERHARD LITTLE over two years ag¢ two young men, a singer and a comedian, decided to form the team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Today they are considered top entertainers, switching from night clubs to radio to movies with the greatest of ease. There is na definite format for their NBC program on Sunday nights, except that they can be expected to show up on MARTIN AND LEWIS They have just . completed a Paramount picture, ‘My Friend Irma’; Martin is Jane’s romantic interest in the movie version of the radio show, and Jerry, an orange: time. juice salesman is “His. side-kick. Give them another two years and there’s no telling what they’ll be doing! Kirk Douglas is back in Holly: wood after a New York visit that was strictly business; he covered the swing cafes, getting background material for his first starring role, in Warner Bros.’ ‘‘Young Man With a Horn.’’ The famous coach in which King George V made his ceremonial drive at the Royal Ascot race meeting will be used in a sequence in Alfred Hitchcock’s ’?Under Capricorn.’’ Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotton and Michael Wilding star. RKO’s ‘‘Adventure in Baltimore” meant more school. days for the three principals. Shirley Temple studied painting every morning for her role. On another corner of the lot, Johnny Sands was learning to play a trombone. Shirley’s husband, John Agar, didn’t escape; he and his wife took dancing lessions when they weren’t before the cameras and she wasn’t painting. After’ eight weeks’ work, a 300foot tramp steamer for use in Pine and Thomas’ ‘‘Captain China’’ was completed; it can be divided into 12 sections, built on rollers, easily moved or assembled into one unit for over-all shots. The water in the huge tank which holds it is heated to 84 degrees; John Payne, Gail Russell and the other principals won’t shiver while they work. Barry Fitzgerald’s brother is teaching Shirley Temple to talk like an Irish colleen for her role in ‘‘Always Sweethearts.’’ Barry’s niece, Oona, did the same for Vanessa Brown for Vanessa’s role as an Irish maid in “The Heiress.”’ Andre Baruch felt right at home when he signed up to return to the Hit Parade as emcee; he first won network attention there 10 years ago, and has been a regular there except for his four-year stint as a major during the war and during the Parade’s recent two years in Hollywood. He joins it July 4 and steps into the Jack Benny summer replacement in June. When Virginia Mayo got home and found a note from husband Michael O’Shea, ‘‘Out with a posse on manhunt,’’ she thought he had a role in another Western. He hadn’t; he was combing the surrounding hills for an alleged wife killer. ; Jane Wyman’s children, Maureen, 8, and Michael, 4 have never seen her as the deaf girl in ‘‘Johnny Belinda.’’ They are too excitable about her pictures. ‘‘Maureen has never forgiven ,me for being mean to the deer in ‘‘The Yearling,”’ said Jane. Lucille Ball, of the movies and CBS’ “My Favorite Husband,” may be a glamorous star to other people, but to her bandleader husband, Desi Arnaz, she’s ‘‘Johnny.” He gave her the nickname because, around their ranch, she looks like a tomboy. Her favorite ‘‘at home’’ togs are dungarees and an_=old sweater and straw hat. Gordon McRae is considered unusual by his contemporaries at Warners’ because whenever he does a love scene he has his wife present to act as his ‘‘technical adviser.’”? Results prove that it’s an excellent idea. Barbara Stanwyck, whose auburn hair is now mostly a beautiful gray, refuses to dye it for films. She feels that would be dishonest! Anyway, she thinks dyed hair looks artificial and gray: hair ‘is usually becoming. Britain Trains Army -Cf Soldier-Scientists : One thousand young men have just entered a new college in Britain to train as army officers for the era now unfolding of super weapons based on atomic power, rocketry and advanced electronics. The formidable new renge of weapons now being developed will require’ many soldiers of the future to be scientists or engineers. The new Military College of Science at Shrivenham, England, will train leaders for this new type of warfare. They will pass through chemical and physical laboratories that give training under the personal tuition of some of Britain’s most renowned scientists. Some of them will specialize in jet propulsion, which was invented in the '30s by Air Commodore Frank Whittle of the R.AF.~ Others will concentrate on rockets of the V-2 types, now being extensively developed in the arid wastes of Australia by British experts. Their range has already reached over 2,000 miles. Another section of the students will explore the wide range ‘of possibilities opened up by radar. Modern Research Laboratory A modern research laboratory, the largest in the world devoted exclusively to the development of safety equipment for mines, industry and public service organizations, will be built in Pittsburgh, Pa., by Mine Safety Appliances company. Facilities of the laboratory will be made available to all industry for the investigation of safety equipment problems affecting health and property.
