Marylanders saw one Willie Mays, talented 18-year-old Negro outfielder, make his debut in O.1 B. First of his race to play in the Inter-State League, Mays" looked very good arid rapped two singles off Al Bennett, Braves' right-handed ace.

Apparently Mays, who is signed to a New York Giants pact, has what it takes and will play the middle garden for the fast-moving T-Giants of hustling Frank "Chick" Genovese. Mays," the Jackie Robinson of the Inter-: State League, must be a comer or he wouldn't have shunted an A-l defender like Maurice "Mo" Cunningham out of center-field to left. Although just out of high school, Mays has two years experience in Negro National Pro League competition behind him. His appearance with Trenton should help to swell attendance all around -the league. Area fans will get their first look at Willie when the "Giants move into Sunbury Saturday to open a three-game week-end series with the Stallermen.

He's one of half a dozen promising Negro athletes now under contract with the Giants, Coach Harry L. Lawrence, Bucknell grid mentor, now is convinced of the truth of the old saw, "It never rains but it pours." Several months ago he got a bad shock when the ineligibility of his ace halfback, Jim 'Smokey Ostendarp, for the '50 season was announced. Lawrence had counted heavily upon "Smokey" to blaze the trail for the Thundering' Herd next fall, AT and added a pair in the third Dawson held the invaders score-, les until the fifth "Cube" Weaver Drjnvillf. rpcpiver. 1 for the winners.

(AP) Ted Williams he of the unpredio table humor and hair-trigger tem per never batted an eyelash when the who calls him his hero out-slammed him 2-1 home Tun hitting contest. The reigning monarchs of major league mayhem Williams and Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh dueled in a novel swatting contest before an exhibition game between the Boston Red Sox and the Pirates last night. Each slugger was allowed 14 fair hits. Williams drilled four offerings from Red Sox hurlei- Paul Schri-ver into the. right field stands.

Kiner slammed eight well en gineered drives out of the park gardens in left field. "Three Star'-' Hennessey served tnem up to Ralph. Kiner admittedly was gunning for the American League's toD 1950 slugger. While -the Pirattf clouter makes no secret of his admiration for Williams as "baseball's best slugger better than me," he took no chances at slicing at. a bad delivery when- his turn came to bat.

As Williams took his turn at the plate, Kirier studiously observed1 every twinge of the lanky outfielder's muscles from, the Pirate dugout. When the enigmatic Ted rapped a long one, Kiner's mouth dropped open in admiration. But he didn't follow the soaring ball. He was watching Williams who he said "is still the' best hitter in baseball." FOR QUICK RESULTS Use a Daily Item Classified Ad.

(AP). America's women players have a high mark to shoot at in their opening round matches of the Wimbledon tennis championships today. The male contingent of eight Americans scored 100 percent yesterday, winning all their matches before a fashionable crowd of 20,000 that jammed around Wimbledon's 16 emerald green courts under sunny skies.

The girls won't be quite able to match that achievement, because of the luck of the draw. Nancy Chaffee of Los Angeles, meets Marta Barnett of Coral Gables, Florida. Titleholder Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, seeded No. 1, plays Mrs. A.

DENIES RETIREMENT RUMOR George H. Jones, of Williams-port, today branded as false a series of rumors to the effect that he plans to resign from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission. Since the recent Pennsylvania Republican primaries, Jones has been mentioned for several o-ther top-ranking State jobs. MILLER BROS. 255 Market Square (AT BUS StajMaci's GOLD MEDAL BEER 1 PHONE SUNBURY 1 1337-J I FOR YOUR 4th of JULY SUPPLYJ TODAY K( put III in these TtryJr tqatahty By Associated Press "The test of a true batting champion is whether he can repeat." It was wise old Connie Mack who first made that sage remark many years ago.

It still is true today. Since 1900 there have been 44 different major league batting champions. Only eight won the title two or more consecutive seasons although nine others returned to the top after a lapse of a year or more. Which brings us to George Kell, who won the American League batting championship by two ten-thousandths of a point over Ted Williams lastfall. For some unknown reason Kell's victory over Williams was greeted with applause usually reserved for "cheese champions." Perhaps it was because he did not move into the top spot until the yery last day.

Kell On Rampage But did it discourage the American League's standout third sack-er? Well, the top figure in the majors today is compiled by George Kell of the Tigers. He has the most hits, the most doubles. It is by no means certain that Kell will win the championship again this year. These is no doubt, however, that thus far he's been the most valuable player in his league. He, more than any other player, has been most responsible for the Tigers' lofty perch.

Kell had a hand in Detroit's uphill 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox in yesterday's only big league encounter. George got two singles and a walk in four times at bat. He was the only Tiger to score against Billy Pierce until Detroit blasted over the four run winning rally in the eighth. Yanks, Phils Land The victory increased the Tigers' first place lead over the idle New York Yankees to Zlk games. Hal White, making his first start of the year, got his first victory although Dizzy Trout finished in the ninth.

Three exhibition games were played last night. The New. York Yankees downed their interbor-ough rivals, the Giants, 9-4, at the Polo Grounds, the Phillies scored six runs in the last three innings to down Connie Mack's Athletici, 8-5, and Pete Castig-lione cracked a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to give Pittsburgh a 4-3 victory over Boston's Red Sox. Libby, Baumer Make News In Pro Baseball Ranks Two former Sunbury, Inter-State League players were in the spot-light in circuits of higher classification last week. Dick Libby, southpaw pitcher, hurled one-hit ball as Charleston, West Virginia downed Muskegon, in a Central League game at Charleston.

Libby, a member of the Sunbury hurling -corps in '48, pitched hitless ball after the first frame. At Tulsa, Jack" "Red" Baumer jumped his '50 homer crop to 13 with a trio for the Oilers within a space of three days. Baumer, a member of the Sunbury club in '49 is playing second base for the Texas Leaguers. Fabringer Homer Wins Game For Montgomery Outfielder Alvin Fahringer's two-run homer in the ninth inning enabled the unbeaten Montgomery Chiefs, leaaers of the upper circuit, West Branch League, to edge out the Bloomsburg Moose 7-6, in a hard-fought game played at Athletic Park, Bloomsburg, last, night. Jack Yarnell, who relieved Jack Vognetz, a southpaw, in the seventh inning, received credit for the victory.

Yarnell formerly managed the New Berlin team in the lower circuit, West Branch League. Charley Redmond, Northumberland, athlitc caught all lete, figured in a tragic accident and is minus his right foot via surgery.

Competition in the three flights in the Susquehanna Valley Country Club's President's handicap promises to be a razor-keen between now and the second week in July. Williams Ouf For PGA Championship Henry "Hank" Williams, former Susquehanna Valley Country Club pro, gets his chance for gold, glory, and his first PGA championship at Columbus, Ohio, today. Williams, who served as a pro at the area club in '46-47, tees off against Chandler Harper, 36-year old Portsmouth, Virginia, pro in the 36-hole finals of the national PGA event on the Scioto Country Club links, with $3,500 going to the winner." Neither Williams, who 'now is pro at the fashionable Tully-Se-cane club near Philadelphia, nor Harper were given a chance to cop the title in pre-tournament calculations. Williams forged to the front yesterday with a come-from-behind viotory over the veteran former Chocolate Soldier from Hershey, Henry Picard. Williams' putter waxed hotter than the 98 degree temperature.
