ues his invasion of the middle
weight ranks in the headline bout
on an outstanding fistic card Fri'
iay at the Armory.
Wolfe will meet Tacoma's busy
bunching Prankie Rowe in a sched

The Pacific Northwest welter
weight king (roes against Rowe four
days after beating Eddie Kahut
Monday night in Portland.
The popular champion gave away
some 12 pounds in winning over

He'll be shy almost that many
pounds when he faces Rowe.

Who said youth must be served?
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.

cally blanked the youngsters:

NEW YORK IA Wllnwr (Vine
gar Bend Miiell, the kid pitcher
picked to open the season for the
Si. 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

his pro debut at Albany, Ga. lOeor-1 The town of Vinegar Bend,

hopelessly lost.
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.

In three minor league seasons

weighing 205 pounds. But he throws
with more abandon, if less mule
than the Preacher. The first two
pitches he threw tn organized ball

The Proud Prussian must be giv
