Eagles Hall Saturday March 31 8:00 PM Plus 2 Men's Bouts ORT MYERS la The Pittburgh are pinning all their hopes on pitching and a ura ver to lift them out of the National League basement this year Bobby Bragan brand new at the Pittsburgh helm points to Bob riend Vern Law Ronnie Kline Dick Littlefield and Dick Hall as his starters and insists he trade them for the Cincinnati Chicago or St Louis pitching staff He says his Pirates cellar bound for the past four years could finish as high as sixth this year all depends on four Bragan says those four are outfielders rank Thomas and Bob Skinner Littlefield and Danny Kravitz a rookie Thomas and Littlefield both had poor years last season but Bragan is looking for better showings from each of them Skinner who had a trial with the Pirates in 1954 but spent last year with New Orleans is a con verted first baseman who has been installed in left field And Kravitz the best looking rookie in the Pittsburgh camp be another Yogi Berra some day" ac cording to Bragan Right now Bragan cites his pitching staff as chief strength He calls the outfield and the catching the two big weak nesses As far as the outfield goes Thomas has been shifted from center to right field Skinner has been assigned to left and Roberto Clemente Bobby Del Greco and Lee Walls are fighting for center field Holdover Jerry Lynch also is available for outfield duty Bragan is well satisfied with rangy Dale Long at first base but if Long bogs down he has Preston Ward ready for duty Speedy Curt Roberts back with the Pirates after a year under) Bragan at Hollywood has the in side track at second base al though Johnny is receiv ing consideration there too Duke gift to the majors Dick Groat will be the regular shortstop Gene reese has third 1 1 1 1 1 A I il All oase preiiy wvu wnm Dick Cole and Eddie Brien shape up as infield reserves Toby Atwell and Jack Shepard will probably handle most of catching but Bra gan says don't be too surprised If Kravitz is behind the plate open ing day Getting back to the pitching staff immediate con is Hall's arm The six foot six inch right hander a converted outfielder has been plagued with a sore arm this spring but Bta gan hopes it will come around Other than that Bragan is on the prowl for a possible left hand ed starter to go along with Little Held have two good looking southpaws in Lino Donoso and Jank McMahan whom we drafted from Bragan says but thinking of them more in re lief right handed relievers figure to be Elroy ace George Munger and Max Surkont about three and a half years younger than the rest of the Bragan says we have that working for us no question about enthusiasm be cause whenever you have a young ball club it's generally full of spirit far the improvement has been very noticeable These kids don't act like an eighth place club They may get beat bad one day but they don't stay down They come bouncing right back the next Even so it may take quite a bit of doing for Bragan to hoist the

Course the District 13 agreed to the tournament plan along with all other mem ber schools in the state at a meet ing tn Billings in December 1951 But we still do not think that a Agostini Out RESNO Calif (UP) resno State College sprint star Mike Agostini who set a world record in the 220 yard dash earlier this month will not be able to com 1 pete in the Santa Barbara Easter I Relays on Saturday because of pain in his right knee His doctori lias ordered a week of rest to clear up an irritation in the calf muscle nt the knee I ft group of Class schools should be further in debt on tourna ment just to pay a fee to an or ganization that already has over $60000 in its bank account Rex Dailey MHSA Executive Secretary said in the report that the MHSA Is not accumulating surplus funds He said a $3000C cash reserve is held for operating expenses and comes in than is needed it is re turned to the schools This leads us to ask two ques tions: Needed for what? Has the MUSA ever returned any money to the schools? There is no doubt in our mind that the District 13 schools are legally obligated to pay the tour nament assessment because they did agree to it Still we think it is not morally right for a group of small schools to go tn debt while an organization that already has plenty of money and seem ingly nothing to do with it wants their no matter what The MHSA no doubt was or ganized in good faith and with a good purpose in mind Either that purpose was lost along the way or it has been kept quiet to the general public We wish the MH SA would make their purpose and their operations a little more open to the public Perhaps it would Istop the wondering RN landed a 28 pound muskellunge But someone stole the whopper low rcUcf on a wall built by Them Mich (UP) ia ictnni's nnn veins before Christ irauPthVone cbancc t0 show 011 llle tisb he Encyclopedia Brit Crist ice fishing on Black Lake I friends lRni1'ca WlRKTUNG Chinook Paper Tackles MHSA Wlwi 'lol jww mm 43 a New 1956 cars using Mobilgas Special aver? ged 1995 New Proof you too can get More Miles Per Gallon Miles per Galion in Mobilgas Economy Run SOS 4HMUS SALT LAKE CITY I Cc4IAMO Qcoloac 1 2j SWING 1 WGAS I lout fokw by con ir 1936 MobHgoj tconomy gun The route wot telecteJ rf Jpkl the Ru" entirely STAIT by IWted State Auto Club Once again the famous Mobilgas Econ omy Run points the way to more miles per gallon for every owner of a new high compression car! or this great miles per gallon record was set with 1956 stock cars with automatic similar in every respect to one you may now be driving urther? these cars covered a grueling 1469 mile course that included city streets as well as steep mountain roads cold and desert heat every extreme of road condition temperature and weather the average car is subjected to in a full year's driving!
