He became the 101st player in Major league history to whack three in a game- His batting average was a measly .167 and he had hit only three home runs previously during the entire sea son.

PLYWOOD JOINTS Frank recognition of joints in plywood walls provides nice visual ef fects. Here are several suggest ed joint details. Open joint is particularly effective. Plywood Joints Easy To Handle Joint details and application methods in wood paneled rooms can make or break the finished job. A little advance planning will save you both trouble and expense. One of the most commonly used materials for new wall paneling is inexpensive fir ply wood. The most economical grade for this job is a "one-side" panel that has a good quality face and a low quality back where it can't be seen when it is nailed into place. Because of the versatility of plywood, you can get any effect you want from a semi-textured effect to natural wood paneling. Ip any case joint treatments are important. You can cover them up but usually frank recognition of joints can add much to the architectural effect of the room. Plan Ahead Plan the placement of joints ahead of time to eliminate waste and for pleasing arrangement. A basic principle is to start at open ings with vertical joints and di vide the plain wall spaces In any preferred orderly joint pattern with either vertical or horizon tal joints predominating. Flat battens, half round mold ings or decorative moldings cov er a simple butt joint and lend an impression of added height to the room. One of the simplest and most attractive joints is a V made by beveling the edges of the panel. Another good joint that is practical and good looking is an open joint. In this case, leave an opening of li" between vertical panel edges and back the joint with a plywood furring strip. The best thickness of plywood for studs 18 apart is but V" is fine if you're seeking low est cost - - Ashland High Boasts Flock Of Grid Vets Ashland The Ashland high school Grizzlies are prepping for the grid season with a Hock of veterans on hand despite the loss of some top talent to the military service and by gradu ation. . - There are six backfield men, five ends and six big boys to anchor the center of the line.

James Barton (Mickey) Ver non of the Washington Senators, who has been playing In silent anonymity since his one big sea son seven years ago, is front and center in the race for the batting title. And nobody is more sur prised than Mickey. "If I knew the answer, I'd never hit less than .300," he in sists. Strange Revival Certainly it is one of the strangeest revivals in baseball history. Because back in 1946, the man who had been strictly a nothing hitter marched home from two years In the Navy to win the batting crown with a dazzling mark of .353. He had never approached it before, nor since. Potentially, he had all the at tributes to be a great hitter- He was big, six feet two inches, and close tcj 200 pounds, and he had a fine, flat swing. One of his former managers, Ossie Bluege, criticized him gently as "a fel low who needs more pep and enthusiasm." Back in 1943, a teammate named Gerry Priddy objected physically to Mickey's lack of liveliness in the Infield. Prid dy's exasperation became so great that he hauled off and clouted Mickey on the kisser. Vernon proved right then that he wasn't completely Inanimate, punching back for what wit nesses said was extra bases. Vernon, a one time pre-med student at Villanova college, played a lot of service ball in the Pacific in 1944 and 1945. When he came back in the spring of 1946, he was benched because he couldn't buy a base hit. But once back in the lineup he caught fire and bounced out of nowhere to beat Ted Williams for the batting crown. He was so impressed that the Yanks re portedly offered f 100,000 for him. emblem of 1 excellence ' BOURBON 16 rVW Kentucky Straight Bourne Whisky JAsJI.a..SIAIs ISIUIIH s "asass . m . OSCAR FRALCY United Press Sports Writer After that one splurge, how ever, Mickey dropped back into obscurity. Ever since, until now, he has been strangely silent phy sicially as well as personally. This year, though, he has re captured the touch with a mark which has been nudging upward toward the -330 level. "I' completely relaxed," said Mickey, making an admission which comes as no surprise to anyone who knows him. "I just get up to the plate lazy-like and meet the ball. That's how it was in 1946 and that's the way I'm hitting the ball now." Medford Drivers Catch Fans' Eyes At Ashland Oval Ashland New drivers re turning to racing circles are con tinually appearing on the Ash land speedway scene but none have caught the eyes of the fans in their first appearances like two Medford drivers.
