Only one thing haj become certain about th Magic Valley Cowboys this year John Costen Shockley is jjoing to get his hits. Shockley, a hard-hitting high ichool pitcher turned professional first baseman to take advantage of his bat, has been among the leaders of the Class JOHV WAS disappointed in the West, but he acknowledges DIG DISCOUNTS! Sanders have had big nights, their best effort came one night against Pocatello. With Magic Falls trailing by one run going into the eighth inning, Sanders belted a homer to tie it.

On the next pitch, Shocktey won the game with a blast that went at least 450 feet. Shockley broke in very impressively in Jaycee Park in Twin Falls when he smashed a homer over the scoreboard in dead center field his first time up. Since then the fans expect base hits from John. He is tied for total bases in the league (137) and ranks third "I really don know wnat 1 expected, either." "I cuess I kinda wanted to ing but space in between.

His improvement at first base has been considerable Sibby Sisti, the minor-league infield coach for the Phillies, spent several days with the Cowboys and had nothing but praise for Shockley. Before leaving, Sisti tabbed him as one of the brightest prospects in the minor leagues and especially the Phillie chain.

SHOCKLEY is looking forward to a great second half. Right now the lefthanded hitter feels his swing is at its best. "I'm getting around on the ball a lot better now. I'm pulling almost everything." Injuries haven't left him entirely alone since he hurt his wrist. He incurred a back injury that took him out of one game but again he was begging Manager Jack Phillips to play two days later.

SHOCKLEY went 0 for 4 that night, with the four stitches giving him some misery. But the next night he rebounded with a 4for-5 effort.

Nineteen years old and playing his first year of organized baseball, the strapping native of Georgetown, is highly prized by the parent Phillies. There are a lot of new things going on around Shockley this season but none of them has affected his bat. After attracting 15 major-league clubs as a pitcher, John he says he prefers that name to the Costen or "Coss" he is called back home signed with the Phillies as a first baseman and that position still surprises him. "I LIKE first base because it 'gives me a chance to play regularly," he says. "But it seems there's something new coming up every game something that I'm not quite sure about." The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder came West to play ball and has missed only four games.
