Kids Take Over Polo
Grounds for Own Game
By OSCAR FRALEY
New York, Aug. 26 (U.R)-The "City of Little Men" was about
ready today to take the baseball play away from the pennant
races. The kids from Boys Town are on their way to New York
where, on Sept. 8 at the polo grounds they'll tackle an all-star
orphans' team
Some of these little big lea
guers will be getting their first
look at a major league park. For
most It will be their first trip In
an airplane on a chartered flight
from Nebraska. Many of them
also will be staying overnight in
a hotel for the first time.
It is the kind of stuff which
has nurtured the elusive dreams
of kids who started off with two
strikes, and who now have high
hopes for the future.
It's another of those mental
hots in the arm which Boys
Town has planned for Its citi
zens whenever possible ever
since the late Father Flana
gan founded his colony In
1917. There wasn't much to
the athletic program at first,
for Father Flanagan started
his town with $90 which he
borrowed and five boys two
from juvenile court and three
homeless waifs.
But Father Flanagan was a
great believer in athletics for
idle hours. Gradually the
sports program expanded until
now the dads at Boys Town hold
their own with the best prep
schools.
Msgr. Nichols H. Wegner has
carried on since Father Flana
gan's death last year. And he,
too, Is for an all-out sports pro
gram. "Keep a boy busy with
athletics baseball, football, bas
ketball or any such sport or
engaged In music or other worth
while activities, and he'll be just
too busy to find time to get into
trouble," explained Father Weg
ner, a former semi-pro pitcher.
So that's the way they work
it at Boys Town. In the last
six years their football team
has won 49 games and had
three ties against 11 defeats.
This fall It will play at Ro
chester, New York, Detroit
and Pittsburgh.
But at the moment the accent
Is on baseball as some 50 citi
zens batlle for the IB airplane
places to New York. And "bat
tle" is the right word.
It will be a terrific moment
for the winners, all of them once
homeless and without hope,
when that plane takes oft from
Omaha for the big city.
Six of the starting nine have
never been aloft. These are
Kmmctt Whiting, 16-year-old
catcher from Minneapolis;
Catcher Don King of Fort
Dodge, la.; Outfielders Dick
Porter of Portland, Ore.;
Marlyn Myers of Eldora, la.;
and Leonard Markiewirz of
Or., Friday, August 26. 1949
' Sugar Ray Roblnaon, Welterweight
1 champion, connects with a solid
Delton, Mich., and Pitcher
Jim Gunnel), also of Portland.
Third Baseman Louis Pasqual-
one of Geneva, O., and J 1 m
Brown of Spokane, the first
baseman, have been up before.
They toured with the Boys Town
choir.
But they'll get a large charge
out of the trip.
Maybe not as much as lit
tle Andy Hernandez, though.
Only 16 and but five feet, two
and weighing 108 pounds, the
tiny shortstop from Taylor,
Tex., is the "Scooter" Rizzu
to of Boys Town.
Andy, typically, has never
been to New York. But he
hopes to play professional base
ball there some day. So it will
be something for the long road
ahead, for Andy and the others,
to say they played there once
upon a time.
Three night games are listed
for Syracuse's football team
this fall. They are home games
with Boston university, Lafay
ette and Temple.
SHORT AND STOCKY
Goodloe Gives Show
Atlanta, Aug. 26 VP) Unless
Dynamite Goodloe gets. home
sick on the way to the national
amateur and decides to come
back home, golf galleries in Ro
chester, N.Y., will watch the
best show in the game today.
Dynamite, whose name is an
almost forgotten William, didn't
win the amateur in Memphis
last year, but he got to the fifth
round. He's never won a big
tournament, but it's not at all
improbable that he will some
day.
Maybe he won't like Rochester
and unless he does he'll come
down homesick. Being that far
from Valdosta, Ga., is hard on a
25-year-old boy.
So barring homesickness or
the early round death of Mr.
Dynamite, Rochester is in for a
fine show.
Dynamite is five feet, five
inches tall, usually weighing 225
pounds and looking every ounce
of it.
Most people don't know that
Upper Umqua is Listed
Best Fishing in State
Portland, Aug. 28 (U.R) The
upper Umpaqua river area of
Douglas county was expected
to provide best fishing results
this weekend, according to the
Oregon State game commis
sions weekly fishing bulletin
today.
Reports from the area this
week Indicate angling conditions
during the weekend will be ex
cellent. Fishermen report most
success with bait, although some
good catches on flies habe been
made.
The coastal area is expected
to improve if forecast of week
end rain materializes.
The prospects throughout the
state:
Portland vicinity Salmon
fishing in lower Columbia river
is very poor and not expected
to improve much this week.
Spiny-rayed fishing in Columbia
sloughs has been very good.
Marion county South fork of
Silver Creek closes August 31.
Lane county-Eugene Fishing
on McKenzie and tributaries
fair with only a few good catch
es being taken. Prospects for
weekend fair. Please mail in
your catch record card for each
day's fishing.
Linn county North Santiam
and Breitenbush rivers Some
good catches being made but
few large fish being taken.
Deschutes area North and
south twin lakes are now closed
to angling. Davis lake closes Au
gust 29. Bend area lakes Suc
cess Just fair with best luck
continuing at East lake.
Clatsop county Angling re
mains fair. Best reports for
sea-run trout are in the lower
Necanicum and tidewater of Big
creek. .
Tillamook county Angling
success has been very slow the
past few days in all streams.
Prospects for the coming week
end should only be fair with
the best prospects in tidewater.

fat.
He'll probably bring along
some pants this year as well as
shorts, although he prefers
shorts.
In case his legs do show,
they'll be even larger than you
expect. Dynamite is an ex-freshman
guard on the Georgia Tech
football team.
When Dynamite mounts the
tee you'll swear he can't reach
as far as th eball. But he can.
He hits Sammy Snead-Jimmy
Thompson drives and they're
just as straight. He sights
through tiny, squinting eyes
which peer happily from a
round, baby face, swings th
short arms with his big should

better duck.

Tront angling in the Siuslaw
river has been rather slow, but
it may improve considerably
with more rain. A few jack
salmon have been taken, and
the adult chinooks should start
to run soon. Bass, catfish, and
perch angling in the central
coastal lakes remains good.
Lincoln county The Alsea
and Yaquina rivers continue to
show fair catches for sea-run
cutthroat trout anglers. The
Alsea and Yaquina bays are also
yielding some nice catches for
salmon anglers. Trout fishing
throughout the county is slow
and spotty, but the forecast of
rain for this week should im
prove all angling for the com
ing weekend. Good bass and
spiny-rayed fishing reported in
Devils lake area.
Douglas county Roseburg
Upper Umpqua area water con
ditions excellent so far this
week. Angling success for
trout generally high. More fish
taken on bait, but some good
catches on . flies of varied pat
terns. Some steelhead continue
to be taken. Salmon trout an
gling good but fish appear to
be in bunches.
Reinstatements
Granted to Two
Columbus, O., Aug. 26 (P)
George M. Trautman, boss of the
minors, reported last night that
two players of the Houma, La.,
team in the Evangeline league
have been reinstated to organ
ized baseball.
Trautman named the two as
W. C. Thomas and Leonard P.
Pecou. They were banished from
baseball late in 1946 on charges
of associating with bookmakers.
The minors boss said Thomas
and Pecou had applied for rein

On the way to his ball Dyna
mite will consult his caddy
about the next shot and very
likely do as he's told. At least
he did in Memphis when his
caddy, "Dynamo" was with him.
Dynamo and Dynamite were
shaped alike, only Dynamo's
skin was black.
Dynamo very likely won't be
in Rochester and that's Roches
ter's loss, because that pair tee
ing off can be the event of the
day.
Dynamite qualified for the
1949 meet with a pair of 72's
over Atlanta's East Lake No. 1,
the course where Bobby Jones
learned to play.
Seventy-twos at East Lake are
most respectable and if Dyna
mite still Is on his game, Ro
chester will see him for several
days and be much happier for
his acquaintance.
