Pied Piper' Will Help
Time was when Portland, as a
Pacific Coast league baseball city,
defeated her own purpose by let
ting many of her sandlot ball
gaming kids slip by and into the
majors almost unnoticed. Beaver
enthusiasts have beefed many ,
times over such carelessness. But j
as we see it now. Rose City sand-
letters with a future in the game ;
stand hardly a chance of escaping j
at least consideration by the Beav- j
ers what with Jack Wilson on
the payroll. The new Senator
boss, who will do some scouting 1
for both the Salems and Portlands, !
Is sort of a Pied Piper of the j
Portland sandlot. A Portlander
who graduated from those lots
himself. Jack knows practically i
every kid in the big town who !
pulls on a pair of spikes. And if '
he doesn't know them, they know .
who he Is. Which will be Just as i
Important to the Beavers in the !
long run and win put a stop to
their costly blindness we're sure
. . . Wilson will likely do little
pitching for the townies because
f his bad elbow, but when he
does Uke to the hillock the natives
will see one of the better knuckle
balls residing In this part of the
land. Jack has a good one . . .
Dom Better Than Joe9
Walter (The Great) Malls has
had his wacky moments In base
ball, but he'll look you squarely
In the eye when he Insists that
Spectacled Dom DiMaggio of the
Red Sox "Is a much better ball
player than his brother Joe." In
fact, Walter opines that Dominic,
who graduated from the SF Seals
as did Big Brother Joe, "will one
day go down In history as one of
baseball's all-time greats." A San
Franciscan himself. Mails has
watched both DiMigs grow from
diaperhood. He insists "Dom san
bring down fly balls by the doz
ens that Joe can't even reach." . . .
"The Great" leaves a word for
the local junior ball people also.
The picture "Play Ball. Son,"
made in Hollywood and featuring
14-year-olds in diamond action,
can be secured through the Ford
Motor people. The film exempli
fies in slow motion the arts of
running, hitting, throwing, sliding,
etc., and Mails vows it's top tonic
for aspiring kid ballgamers . . .
