Apparently.-that doesn't go in base ball. At least it didn't in Tuesday's i Major League Inaugurals. Two dozen rookies, the most In more than 20 years, saw action as the 1952 season got under way. And while the majority of them did little more than fight off their nervousness, up stepped the grizzled veterans to steal the show.

Louis Cardinals, really wasn't dry behind the ears when he audi tioned nis way into pro baseball three years ago. Cardinal scout Buddv Lewis yanked a dripping, unadorned Vin egar out of a swimming hole deen in the Alabama turpentine coun try, watched him elbow three pitches and signed him up pronto. Now such a competent observer as Mannger Johnny Keane of the Columbus Red Birds (American Association) says: "I think, with a little more train ing, he will be the greatest left bander the game has ever had." Fantastic? Well, so's Wilmer. The first night he deserted Vine gar Bend. Ala.

When he was issued two uni forms a white one lor home games, a grBy one for the road he nobly returned the gray tlan nels "because I can only wear one suit at a time." Last Winter he invested his base ball earnings nope, not in a res taurant or bowling alley, but ill a classy dump truck. Even that Vinegar Bend tag Is a misnomer. "I was born in Lenkrsvllle. Miss.." draws Wilmer. "Wnrn't no post office 'round where I live, so I wnlked across the state tine to Vinegar Bend every day to get my mail.

He's been lust as -impressive this Spring In the Grapefruit League. The ai-yctir-olri portslder looks like an over-sized Preacher Roe. stretching to an annilr, ft-3'j and weighing 205 pounds. But he throws with more abandon, if less mule than the Preacher. The first two pitches he threw tn organized ball sailed six feet over the catcher's head. Keane. who managed him at Houston last vear. claims he's fast er than Dizzy Dean or Wild Bill Hnlinhan ever were. Manager Eddie Stanky will set tle (or a little of their success.

Prussian Favored Tonight Georges Dusette. a wrestling man who's heki the top popularity spot here for years, and Kurt Von Pop penheim. as well liked by the fans as a neighbor at dinner-time square off tonight in the top bout on the Armory's weekly mat card.
