Roller Derby
Friendly for
These Rivals
SPTS
New York. June 5-4U.R) An
nabclle "SluRRor" Kealcy of the
Brooklyn Roil Devils and Gorry
Murray of the New York Chiefs
are a pair of sizzling rivals In
the middle of a roller derby im
broglio, but like as not they'll
sneak off to a cafeteria together
afterward for a cup of coffee.
They've been in each other's
hair ever since the antediluvian
days of the roller derby business
when they first tangled in Chat
tanooga. That was back in i939.
"Oh. yes. Annabelle and I
have had some fights once in a
while." says Miss Murray, a red
headed cutie from Des Moines,
la., who looks as if she should
be hustling across the campus to
a history lecture. "Remember
that dressing room fight we had
afterwards in Omaha?"
Annabelle does because that
was the night after Gerry gave
her the elbow right into a mouth
ful of broken teeth. And in turn.
Miss Murray who is Mrs. Gene
Gammon, assistant coach of the
Chiefs, in private life can re
call the evening Annabelle skat
ed into her noggin, leaving room
for four stitches.

and Jack Cooncy still nurses a

Hits Easy for Gems
The high-flying Gems from
eastern Oregon pounded out hits
with little trouble in both games
although LaVerre Herrmann in
the nightcap put on a top pitch
ing performance for the first
four innings. Then the "roof fell
in" on him and Glenn Hyatt who
succeeded him.
A home run drive over the
right field wall in the first game
by Klamath's Chet Ashman was
