The BulL By MATT ZABITKA Times Staff "ROSY" ROSENBERG, well- known, local mahagony tender, buttonholed Chester haberdash- er'' John McCiovern at 5th and Market Streets In downtown Chester a few days ago and inquired: much do you charge for to attend ilmt baseball finishing school that you're operating under the guise of a men's store? If it's not too much, I'd like to enroll my youngster." Rosenberg was good-naturedly joshing McGovern, relative to all the baseball greats he has produced from behind his coat and shoe racks, the latest of which is fabulous Lew Krausse who last week signed with the Kansas City Athletics at the staggering bonus of $125,000. Jovial John, a baseball buff from way back, has been getting many such comments regularly ever since Mickey Vernon and Danny Murtaugh made it big. And with young Lew's signing, the needling has increased. With an "alumni" like John has, it's easy to see why people are starting to refer to his store as "that baseball school." McGOVERN'S products Include 1. Danny Murtaugh, cigar- smoking, tobacco-chewing manager of the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates; 2.

Mickey Vcrnon, manager of one of the most amazing teams in the big leagues today the Washington Senators. 3. Lew Krausse former major league pitcher with the old Philadelphia Athletics, who now scouts for the Kansas City 4. Charlie (Cougar) Johnson, who is now playing with Little Rock, in the Southern Association. 5.

Timmy Murtaugh, son of the Pirates' pilot, who is headed for Holy Cross College and is already being labeled as "sure fire" major league timber. 6. Lew Krausse the 18- year-old lad who signed up for a half interest in Fort- Knox last week. McGovern was reluctant to claim Lew Jr. as a full-time performer with his "Haberdasher Nine." "Lew hasn't worked too long for me," smiled big John between puffs on his ever present cigarette.

"I think we'd better list him as a relief pitcher on my team," he kidded. 1 'WHEN ASKED whom, of all that outstanding baseball talent is the best salesman of under- wear and overcoats and shoes and. garters and such, McGov- crn replied, "They're all good. I just couldn't list them in any specific order. They're as great as salesmen as they are on the playing field.

What makes them go-go-go kids in salesmanship is the competitive spirit in -which tficy have been immersed since they were little tykes." McGovern chuckled when he remembered an incident that occurred in his store one afternoon. "I had a real pro, a non- baseball man, taking care of my shoe department His name was Fred. "Fred look great pride in his shoe salesmanship and wasn't afraid to let everyone know it. "Well, one day as he was going out to lunch he asked Murtaugh to look after his department while he was out. "During Fred's absence, Danny sold a pair of alligator shoes to a customer, one of Ihc biggest shoe sales we had in a long time.

"When Fred returned from lunch, Murtaugh was stationed at the front of the store, near the cash register. Upon seeing Fred enter, Danny heaved the big shoe horn clear across the store, towards the shoe depart- parlmcnt in the rear, wisecracking "Here's your lousy shoe horn, WHAT KIND of a salesman 'is Vernon, McGovern was asked? "He's tough, very tough. He hates to lose a sale. He'll do anything to stow up Murtaugh, and many times he has." As for Tim Murtaugh Mcgovern classified him as "the personality kid." And Johnson was tabbed as "the guy who goes over like Eliot Ness with the young, female customers." Lew Krausse Sr. was tagged as "a real hungry competitor, who can sell refrigerators to Eskinos." Lew Krausse Jr.

was listed as "a real comer with a Mot of promise in salesmanship." McGovern explained that he's got more than his money's worth from the baseball men who clerk in his store during the off-season. "I don't mean in publicity," he was quick lo add. "I mean in genuine salesmanship. They really know their 3 business. "Take for example Vernon and Murtaugh.

When they slart working for me during the off- seasan (he first thing they do, all of Ihcir own-volition, is to make a. personal inventory of all the stock, prices and location of everything. They go around with pencil and paper and make written notes. Why if I hired some raw recruit on Dec. 1 lie still would be learning the whereabouts of everything on Dec.

24. Not so with Mick and Dan and the others. They're real pros, whether making a sale or whether making a strategic move on the playing field." McGovern has been seriously considering adopling a new McGovern's makes, pro ball takes." Callison's Sock Gives Phils Win PHILADELPHIA John Callt- son had been planning to get a hit for better than two weeks, and Tuesday niglit he chose an opportune moment tp slam a double to left-ccntcrfield. The blow brought home Tony Taylor with the winning run as the Phillies defeated St. Louis, 3-2.

Callison's heroics made a winning pitcher of Frank Sullivan, his third victory of the season. He had to survive a ninth inning threat to pick up the triumph, however. Joe Cunningham was In position to score the tying run at second when Sullivan got Gene Smith on a fly ball a few feet from the fence. Sullivan had replaced Don Ferrarese in the eighth. Two men were aboard and two were out.

He" got out of the predicament by retiring Jim Schaffcr on a fly to left. Callison hadn't started a game In 11 days and had gone 20 times at the plate without a hit. SI.

Juno 14, 1961 21 Unheralded Aces Could Steal Show CHESTER--There are four All- Dolco selections among the 33 players who will a (he costume of the North team in the seventh annual Delaware County High School All-Star football game- at PMC on Saturday morning' 10:30. Taking nothing away from llio All-Delco boys, don't be loo surprised, however, if (he big scene slealcrs for the North clev- eir arc lads whose trophy cases are relatively uncluttered.

North couch Bob Leslie of Upper Darby seems most enthused about a group of boys of lesser, reputation. Heading the list is Upper Darby's Mark Lichlcnfchl. Leslie re- ports that the quarterback pears at the top of his game. "We plan to throw as much as run" he "Licbtenfeld has been looking good and he passes well." This estimate- is close to South coach Andy Nacrelli's announced strategy. If bolh coaches abide by Ilieir present notions, liie be a wide open cvicoumer.

Lichteiifcld did a solid job as field general for Upper Darby last fall, but he wasn't as widely heralded as some other county QIJ's. Another player of the same mold is Monsignbr Bonncr halfback Dick Sernyak. The 5-9, 172 pounder, though not huge, was a FREE PARKING BEHIND STORE slashingly powerful runner perhaps the hardest line puncher in the Catholic League--last fall. But he wasn't as well known as fellow Uonncr back, All-Dclco Russ Hendricks. Leslie has plenty to say about Serynyak.

"Scrnyak's a real football play, or. He never has anything (o say, but does lie play ball! He's still driving when he's on the ground." Ser-nyak seems lo have one halfback slot nailed down. The oilier will probably be shared between Upper Darby's Don Manlove and Clifton's Ron Curay. The fullback duties will be alternated by Bonner's Vince Grubb and Jim Hess of Clifton Heights. All-Delco Randy Franklin frotn Clifton Heights will see action as a flanker halfback or end.

Leslie is also excited about Media's Richard Baughn. Accustomed to playing offensive fullback, Baughn has been working surprisingly well on defense. "The kid's a terror," said Leslie, "He'll be one of the linebackers." Radnor's Bill laconc, one of the All-Delco players, will probably operate from a line backer post as well. "Bonncr's (Allen) Atkinson is another bear," continued Leslie, warming up the subject of defense, "And then there's Butch McBreen from Clifton. He will play both ways at end.

Perm- crest's Gene Ruder will be in there at a 1 too. And Lans- downc's Bill Sharpe." One of the most surprising performers lias been Marplc Newtown's Tommy Gray. Gray's a center," explained Leslie, "But he converted very willingly to offensive guard. Ho could well start for us. That's the sort of altitude the boys have.

They've been knocking heads since the second day of practice. The kind of boys 1 like. They keep their mouth shut and go to work." The North coaches aren't worried about the manpower. They have a tentative lineup selected. Honold Breaks Victory Famine PROSPECT PARK-Honold defeated Norway, 6-5, for its first victory in 15 games in the Inter- boro Teener League.

Drew Gregg drove home the winning run in the bottom of the fifth.
