If Charley Bums Is serious about boxing as a pro. why not match him with Bob Vance? Both artists were amateur fighters, of a fashion, and the bout could be for the drawing-board championship of New Castle County.

Burnsie would have a big height advantage, but Vance can see better. Motoring through the provinces yesterday, we came across a community entitled Lynch Heights, just outside of Milford. Wonder if it was named after an The novelty Is wearing off the Phillies special trains from Wilmington, and the customers now are going only for the attractions. Last Friday was "Wilmington-Chester Night," but only IS tickets were sold here. However, the DuPont Engineering excursion was held at the same time, a week late because of a rain postponement, and there were more than a thousand employes and friends who made the trip.

Saw Tom Earnest, the released Blue Rock pitcher, who was up at Shibe Park that night to talk to the farm office. He doesn't want to report to Salina in the Western Association, and probably will go on the retired list. Frank Colley of the Hagerstown Morning Herald blows his stack with this column on the Wilmington franchise situation, complete with all sorts of. bad information: "You can lead a horse to water, but 3ou can't make him drink and you can give fans baseball but you can't choke it down their throats. "It seems that is what Bob Carpenter is endeavoring to do with the fans of Wilmington and they just won't take it.

"When the Phillies were bringing up the tail end in the National League, the Wilmington fans were content to patronize the Blue Rocks. That club was right in the thick of the fight for the pennant. Now the Phils are attracting attention in the National League and the Blue Rocks are right in thick of the fight for the Inter-State flag. Bob" Carpenter is satisfied to boost the Phils and let the Rocks slide. 'Out in left-center field there is one of the largest signs in the entire Wilmington Park and it advertises all of the Phillies games.

The sign tells the fans who 13 playing in Philadelphia, what time the train leaves Wilmington and what time it returns. What the price of a roundtrip ticket and admission to the Phillies game is and on top of that the management is boosting television. "Bob Carpenter wants the fans to attend the Phillies" games but he has threatened to move his franchise in Wilmington if the attendance does not pick up there, but you lay your own odds. Bob Carpenter wouldn't move his Wilmington franchise if he last $50,000 a season. "But it might be a very good idea to start boosting the Blue Rocks instead of trying to educate them to the train service to Philly." Won Lot Pet.

"Among Lakeys most outstanding achievements on the mound this season were the three victories that he scored over Washington-Lee's Little Generals, which were, incidentally, the only three blots on the W-L record this season. "Lakey defeated the Little Generals, 5-0. to break their 18 game winning streak in regular season play then came back twice a gains- them in the Metro tourney and defeated them, 8-6 and 3-1.

The latter, contest was for the championship and was played at the Arlington school in the second game of a doubleheader. "In the three wins over W-L he allowed but seven runs and 20 hits. He was the lone master of the Generals on their 25-game schedule this year. That's an outstanding accomplishment in itself. "Lakey pitched two years of Legion Junior baseball for Fort Belvoir Post No.

It seems as though the Fort Belvoir Legion was giving away a trophy for the most outstanding player in a Belvoir-Lorton post game, decided by the voting of the spectators present. They voted between the fifth and sixth innings and Lakey, the starting pitcher of Post 313, won the award but in the very next inning, after it had been announced that Sonny was the tar, the Lorton nine proceeded to get 11 runs off of hint and win the game. However, Coach Lee says that's all in the game and Lakey is on the other side of the fence now pitching for the Leemen.".
