Army Finds
Cage Star.

A budding baseball career, inter
rupted by induction into the army,
hasn’t discouraged Pvt. Richard
Fort, son of Mrs. Clara Stahli, 1709
Holyoke ave., according to reports
received this week from Germany.
A standout in baseball and bas
ketball while at Shaw High, Fort
was signed to a professional base
ball contract by the Cleveland
Indians following his graduation in
June, 1950. He was farmed out to
Ft. Smith in 1950 and the follow
ing season played with Batavia,
New York in the Pony League. In
1952, he started out at Daytona
Beach and appeared ready to move
up in the high minors when a sore
arm forced him to the sidelines.
Then the army stepped in as Fort
traded his baseball tog* for the
khaki.
Three months ago he went over
seas with the 36th Regiment of the
First Infantry Division. Pvt. Fort
managed to get the feel of a base
ball bat again in Wurzburg, Ger
many and now is looking forward
to playing basketball during the
winter months.
Although Fort was a standout
performer with the Shaw Cardinals
he was "highly regarded for his abil
ity as a basketball player. As a
high scoring center, he paced Coach
Roy Wisecup’s Cardinals to a suc
cessful season and made the team
a strong competitor in tournament
play.

The board has decided to raze
the old frame building it owns at
1585 Doan ave. A few years ago
the board considered a similar ac
tion, but in view of the shortage
of rental units, decided to delay
tearing down the building until
rental units were more plentiful.
With the housing shortage about
over, it will now remove the struc
ture.
Tennants will be given until
April 1st to seek new quarters.
The building will then be razed
and the ground put in condition
to add to its Mayfair school

Experienced Shaw
Eleven Is Host To
West Friday Night
Winners of five contests in nine
games last year, the East Cleve
landers are blessed with the good
fortune of playing at home for
five consecutive weeks—except for
an open date October 9th, this
season.
After Friday’s opener against
the strong West Senate Cowboys,
Shaw will get ready for Collinwood
High in their annual neighborhood
tussle which is next Friday, Sep
tember 25th.
Coach Cawrse is well satisfied
with the performance of his
charges to date despite the fact
that the starting squad is made
up practically of all seniors.
“Last year we were somewhat
inexperienced but gained confi
dence in winning more than we
lost,” said Cawrse, “and we all
hope that this is the year-we can
be in the thick of the Lake Erie
League title chase.”
The 1952 Cardinals won three
and lost three in league action.
Returning lettermen who have
pleased the Card’s coach include:
Dick Kohagen, 155-pound senior
and Bob Cathcart, a 170-pound
senior, both of whom are ends. The
tackles include seniors Dick Del
essandro and George Kalas, 215
and 235 pounds respectively. Ex
perienced guards, both tipping the
scales around 170, are Bob Morri
son and Tom Lowery. Monogram
wearers in the backfield are Bill
Whitacre, 175-pound quarterback,
who will handle the kicking and
passjpg chores in addition to set
ting up the offensive attack Derry
Clay, 170, Jay Hunton, the only
junior, 160, and Jack Hanson, 155,
are battling for halfback posts
while Dick Follett’s 205 pounds
makes him a good bet to be back
at fullback for this season.
