Major Scouts Comb
Talent in Virginia
Schoolboy Tourney
By Bob Hanson
Major league scouts attending
the throe-day Virginia State
aeholastle baseball tournament
at Mount Vernon High will con
sider themselves fortunate If able
to bag two prospects.
This was according to Mace
Brown, who pitched for the Pitts
burgh Pirates for seven years and
the Boston Red Sox for three and
is now a scout for the Red Sox.
The three-day tourney opened
last night with George Washing
ton of Danville, defending cham
pion, defeating Highland Springs,
8-2, In the opener, and Maury of
Norfolk squeezing by Mount Ver
non, 4-3.
Three games are scheduled to
day In the double elimination af
fair. Mount Vernon will meet
Highland Springs at 2:30; Wash
ington-Lee, which drew a bye
last night, will play Danville at
6 o’clock, and in the nightcap at
8:30, Maury will play the winner
of today’s first game.
Criticizes Large Bonuses.
Brown also believed that the
high school and college gradu
ates who accept large bonuses
to sign with major league teams
are definitely being hurt. The
smart move would be to take a
bonus bf $4,000 or less and go
to the minors for the experi
ence needed, he said.
“It’s hard to turn down a lot
of money, and you can’t blame
the boys for wanting to make It
quick, but they are only hurting
themselves in the long run,” he
said. “A boy would be much
better off taking a small bonus
and playing In the minors. He
could still attend college (In the
off season and get his degree,
even if it took five or six years.”
“Sitting on the bench in the
majors doesn’t help the boy or
the club,” he added. “He pre
vents the club from obtaining
an experienced player when
needed because its roster is
filled and the bonus player can’t
be sent down for two years
unless put on the draft list,
a move that might cost the
club loss of the player.”
Senators’ Scout Attends.
Scouts attending in addition
to Brown include Sherry Robert
son, Senators; Tim Murchison.
Giants; Gil English, Braves;
Harry Posto, White Sox; Red
Hazlitt, Indians; Percy Daw
son, Yankees; Rube Wilson,
Cubs; Rex Bowen, Pirates; Wes
Livengood and Curly Ogden,
the latter a former pitcher for
Senators, Phillies, and George
Ferrell, brother of Wes and
Rick Ferrell, also former Sena
tors, Cards.
Brown’s chief contributions to
the majors as a scout are
Pitchers Willard Nixon and Tom
Brewer and Outfielder Tom
Umphlett, the latter traded over
the winter to the Senators.
In last night’s games. Danville
gained a 5-1 lead after three
innings and was never headed.
First Baseman Jack Phillips
paced Danville’s attack, driving
in two runs with a double and
home run, the latter hit a 340-
foot blow over the centerfleld
fence and the only homer of the
night.
Maury got off to a three-run
lead in the second inning, but
the Majors came back to tie It
up in the fourth on a single by
I Catcher Roy Daniel with the
bases loaded and an error which
followed. Maury scored its win
ning run in the eighth when,
with the bases loaded. Pitcher
Ed Norris of Mount Vernon
walked Pinch-Hitter Mike John
son.

Roberts Breaks Run
Os Hard Luck With
Memorable Victory
§y the Associated Press ,
PHILADELPHIA, June 18.—
Robin Roberts, a 20-game winner
for the last four years, is having
his toughest luck in years, but :
hell probably never forget last
night’s 3-2 victory over the Car
dinals.
The ace righthander had to
go ,15 Innings—longest National
League game of the season—to
get credit for his eighth win in
15 decisions. That’s not all—he
had to score the winning run to
boot. And he won the game
without giving up a walk.
Roberts, who had an 11-4 rec
ord this time last year, has
caused lumps to grow in the
throats of Phillies fans this sea
son. Os the seven games he’s
lost, three have been shutouts
and his mates tallied only six
runs in the other four losses.
Last night the Phillies’ attack
was only a little better. For the
first eight innings they could col
lect only an unearned run off
Gerry Staley. Bobby Morgan’s
two-out homer in the last of the
ninth sent it into extra innings,
and Roberts stayed in.
Roberts led off the 15th with
a walk and scored the winning
run on Del Ennis’ single to cen
ter after moving to third on a
sacrifice and an infield out. .
Although his won-lost record
is disappointing, Roberts has
given up only 14 walks in 130%
innings this year—the lowest in i
the majors on the basis of in- j
nings pitched. And he’s fanned
73—six less than Harvey Haddix,
the league leader.
There’s only one really dis- j
turbing aspect in Roberts’ hurl- ; I
ing this year. He’s been tagged
for 16 home runs in as many j
games. Last night he gave up j
one to Bill Sarni. Home runs i
have figured prominently in
most of his losses.

Ryan Bids to Regain
Job as His Hit in 15th
I
Gives Belvoir Victory
Jack Ryan, 20-year-old in
fielder who was benched earlier
for weak hitting, made a solid
bid to regain his first-string
berth when he singled and scored
the winning rim in the 15th in
ning to give Fort Belvoir a 4-3
victory over Fort Eustis at Pullen
Field last night.
Art Grenon had allowed only
one hit after the seventh inning
until Ryan, who had gone in to
play second base in the 13th in
ning, singled with one out in the
15th, went to second on a walk
and scored when Eustis gummed
up an attempted double play.
Bill Sachs sent the game into
extra innings when he doubled
with the bases loaded to chase
in two runs for the visitors in
the eighth inning. Deward Wil
liams, who belongs to the Pitts
burgh Pirates chain, thwarted
Eustis from then on. Williams
fanned 16.
