Willie Mays
Is Married
Elkton, Md. (U.R) Willie
Mays, the star center fielder of
the New York Giants, was mar
ried and arrested for speeding
all in the space of a couple of
hours today in a hectic celebra
tion of St. Valentine's Day.
Mays was married to Mar
guherite Wendelle of New York
City. She gave her age as 27,
Willie as 25.
The marriage ceremony was
held in the Parish House of
Wright's African Methodist
Episcopal church by the Rev.
Rufus Li. Bond.
"They were both quite com
posed and they seemed to be a
very fine couple," said the Rev.
Bond. "There were about three
others in the' wedding party.
They all seemed quite jovial.
"But do you know I didn't
have the slightest idea who he
was when he came here. . To
think I married a famous man
like that and didn't even realize
it."
The speeding offense occurred
earlier as Mays and his bride-to-be
were rushing down the New
Jersey Turnpike after being noti
fied that the marriage license
Miss Wendelle applied for last
Friday had been granted.

BLM Earnings During 1955
Reach Record $239,500,000
All-time record earnings of
over $239,500,000, more than
triple the $77,400,000 previous
high of 1954, were recorded by
the bureau of land management
during the fiscal year 1955, ac
cording to the annual report of
Secretary of the Interior Doug
las McKay. It was nearly 16
times the $15,451,547 annual
appropriation;
The report indicated substan
tial progress on all five of the
bureau's major operational
fronts during the year ended
June 30, 1955. ;
Principal achievements in
cluded the successful initiation
of a new departmental program
for unlocking resources in the
outer continental shelf the sub
merged periphery of the conti
nental United States.
Two bid sales were held in
October and November, 1954, as
a result of which petroleum
companies paid over $142,000,
000 into the United States treas
ury in bonus bids and first-year
rentals for the fight to explore
for oil, gas and sulphur in 486,
869 acres of lands 40 to 100 feet
deep in the Gulf of Mexico off
Louisiana and Texas.
. Substantial contributions were
made to enactment of public
laws which enable the govern
ment, before, issuance of patent,
to manage the surface resources
of mining claims, including dis
posal of timber and livestock
grazing: to abolish thousands of
acres of reserves by eliminating
certain spaces bordering naviga
ble waters in Alaska; and to
open to mining location over 7,

Rookies Ask
For Games
By UNITED PRESS
Spring training hasn't ' even
opened officially yet but some
rookies are feeling their oats
already.
The rookies in the Red Sox
instruction camp at Sarasota,
Fla., for example, felt they had
progressed sufficiently . Monday
so that they could take on some
competition. .
Accordingly, the Red Sox re
cruits issued a challenge to the
Cardinals' rookie camp at St.
Petersburg Saturday and again
at Sarasota Sunday.
Over at the Phillies' rookie
camp in Clearwater,' Fla., Mack
Burk, a $40,000 bonus catcher
from Houston, Tex., impressed
observers with his ability. Burk
is a '20-year-old University of
Texas junior.
General Manager Roy Harney
of the Phillies announced the
signing of two more rookies,
first baseman Ed Bouchee and
outfielder Bob Bowman. Bou
chee batted .314 with Schenec
tady last , season and Bowman
hit .270 with Syracuse.
Two rookie pitchers current
ly working out in the Yankees'
rookie camp also sent in their
signed contracts. They were Jim
Depalo, who had a 9-3 record at
Birmingham, and southpaw Jim
O'Reilly, who had an 8-8 record
with Birmingham..
Relief pitcher Ed Butschy be
came the 32nd member of the
Kansas City Athletics to . sign
his. contract. Burtschy .won six
games and lost eight with Port
land last year.
