Wilson can vault back into un
disputed first place in the inter
high baseball standings today, but
the Tigers will need an assist from
Western.
Eastern, tied with Wilson for
the top spot wlAa 4-1 record,
entertains West^i, while the
Tigers play at Coolidge. A win
by the Raiders, coupled with a
Wilson victory, would put the
Tigers at the top with a 5-1 mark
and Western right behind at 4-1.
The Eastern-Western battle
stacks up as a pitchers’ duel, with
two of the best schoolboy hurlers
in the District scheduled to meet.
Lou Snouffer, beaten only once
this year, will toss for Western,
while Lefty Sonny Wise probably
will start for Eastern. Wilson
will be relying on Mark Howard,
its^ star curve bailer.

Terps and Hopkins
To Meet 32d Time
In Lacrosse Friday
University of Maryland’s la
crosse team ends its season Frida;
night playing its hottest rival
Johns Hopkins of Baltimore, a'
8 o’clock in old Byrd Stadium
This will be the 32d meeting oi
these rivals since 1920, with Hop
kins holding a 17-14 edge
Hopkins’ margin was earned in
the last four years when the Blue
Jays had a powerhouse outfit that
won three National championships
and a tie with Navy the other
time. The Jays still are strong
but not so powerful that the Ter
rapins couldn’t spring an upset.
Until beaten by Princeton last
month, Hopkins hadn’t lost a
game since Maryland turned the
trick in 1947.
Hopkins is the only team that
holds an edge over Maryland in
games won, and will be a slight
favorite to add to its margin Fri
day night. Last week Hopkins
beat Navy, 13-10, a team Mary
land had edged earlier, 10-9. in
overtime.

[Betty Foss Top Girl Ballplayer,
Max Carey Says, as Daisies Win
By Bill Fuchs
“That’s the greatest woman ball
player In the country,” Max Carey
was saying last night in the dug
out at Griffith Stadium. Carey’s
Fort Wayne Daisies were en route
to a 3-0 victory over their barn
storming rivals, the Racine Belles.
Betty Foss drew the high praise
from the former star of the Pitts
burgh Pirates. Mrs. Foss—she is
the only married member of the
team—probably could make out
playing men’s baseball, according
to Carey. And that’s exactly
where she was discovered—play
ing the men’s game.
“I was playing for a men's team
in Smithland, Ky.,” she says.
“Why not? It was a pro team and
I was getting money for it. Well,
some one from Fort Wayne saw
me and told Max Carey and he
sent for me.
Carey signed Mrs. Foss to a con
tract as his first baseman and he
hasn’t be^n sorry. In her rookie
year Betty led the All-American
Girls’ League, an eight-team cir
cult in the Midwest, with a .346
mark at bat.
Mrs. Foss hasn’t been sorry,
either, for this league, made up of
girls 15 years and older, is oper
ated along big league standards.
“Rookies will make around $200
a month,” Carey says, “while stars
will draw around $500.” As in big
league (men’s variety) ball, the
club doles out for expenses on the
road.
Mrs. Foss’ husband is a farmer
with 200 acres of soil in Metrop
olis. HI. He doesn’t object to her
playing ball, the 21-year-old star
says, and travels the 350 miles to
Fort Wayne several times during
the season to see her play.
About 1,800 fans turned out to
see the girls play last night in a
game which was postponed three
times previously and no one was
disappointed.
The Daisies pounded 10 hits off
Maxine Kline, while Mirta Mar
rero, Cuban curve-baller, held the
Belles to three.
Goldie Ahearn. who promoted
last night’s attraction, plans to
bring the top players of the league
in for an all-star game later this
summer.
Six-Match Wrestling Card
Completed at Turner’s
A six-match wrestling card for

Jack Rush and the Mighty Titan

The other regular match is Hill

while a special event is between

Slave Girl against Daisy Mae.
Third Unbeaten Season

One more victory will give Cath

Through a closely knit system known as Co-ordinated Distribution,
Shell keeps petroleum products flowing smoothly from distant
oil fields and refineries to industry, the Armed Forces, and you.
KNIT TOGETHER~ to fit your needs
Every day the petroleum industry delivers over 290
million gallons of petroleum products to meet the
nation’s needs. You expect and you get your share
when and where you want it.
To fit your needs, Shell employs a sensitive system
called Co-ordinated Distribution. This meshes crude
oil supply, transportation, refinery output, and delivery
of finished products. It knits the intricate machinery
of petroleum production and delivery into an efficient
assembly line stretching from the oil fields to you.
And, as a result, petroleum products cost less here than
anywhere else in the world.
Making oil moro usofuls
Oil contributes in hundreds of ways to the nation’s
*
#
economy, comfort, protection. It produces more than
half of America’s power.
Co-ordinated Distribution is another example of how
the oil industry gets the maximum usefulness out of
our petroleum supply.
And oil companies, to do this, work on 3 fronts:
production, refining and distribution.
Joined to torvo you boot
Production finds new oil fields, gets the most possible oil
from existing wells.
Refining gets more and better products from every gallon
of crude petroleum.
Distribution anticipates the users’ needs, and delivers the
product where and when it is needed.
With production, refining, and distribution all joined
“under one roof”-teamed to exchange ideas-Shell
does its part to assure the most efficient flow of petro
leum products to you.
To strengthen America:
Because they have plowed back over 10 billion
dollars into new plants and equipment since the end
of World War II, America’s privately managed oil
companies outproduce the world-are better pre
pared today than ever before to meet both civilian
and military needs.
