TWELVE EVENING TIMES, CUMBERLAND, TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1952 Phone 4600 for WANT AD Taker Maryland. Hard Worker In 'Drum Beater' Joe Blair On the surface, the job of writing athletic publicity for a university appears to be a "snap." Generally! speaking, all of the publicity that emanates from a campus in a day can be written in an hour or less, the college "drum Besides, beater" accompanies the team oa football with all expenses paid. Yet, In the ease of Joe P. Blair at the University of the job is jp anything but -j soft. Joe works "day and night as 5 director of, the STerps' publicity.

In fact, it's to impos- for' a pub- man to be more conscien- Joe Blair tious -than, Blair. Joe was assistant to George Carroll, then took 'over, when the latter resigned a. year ago for a publicity position in Washington. Since that time, Blair has been a "one-man" itaff, doing all the work himself. Because Maryland has entered "big time" football, requests for special stories pour in from all over the country.

And they're all capably filled by the hard-w i first- soft-spoken, Blair on a served basis. Since the Cumberland area is so well represented in football at Maryland, we've had numerous occasions to use Blair as a medium for following the activities of these local players. Some of the information sought difficult to get, we know, but not once has Blair attempted to give the "run-around." In spite of the deluge of work in which. he continually swims, Joe is always polite and ever willing to lend a helping hand. this is his job, but a lot of other fellows in the- same capacity aren't nearly as accommodating, and Joe deserves 'an assist for much of the The Times, given area athletes at Maryland.

In his job as athletic publicity director, Blair has, twice visited Cumberland for sports dinners. He was here a. year ago for the Allegany Campers all-sports affair and in January sat in on the Dapper Dan festivities. Bob Pence In Charge Of New Kind Of 'Army' Unlike professional ball where the boys play for pay, participants in the Rocking Chair Softball League this year will have to pay to play. And in doing so, they'll be forced to join an "army." This is an entirely new army.

It's the one most of the players were in during World War only in the matter of work details. The similarity ends there. The new "army" requires no close order drill, no hikes, no reveille, no retreat, no' 'range practice and no manual of arms. And the uniform is optional. Instead of shouldering a gun, soldiers of the new "army" will be handed rakes and shovels and their only assignment before being discharged a Field, that is.

Self-appointed commander-in- chief of the Rocking Chair "army" is Lieut. Bob Pence, city recreation director. Details of the tactical problem have not been entirely worked out, but Commander Pence said today the, project will work something like this: Each team or "company" in the Hocking Chair "army" will be asked to appoint volunteers on the old Army basis of "You, you and you!" If the "soldiers" have rakes, they should take them- -to the- 'Stitcher Field "battleground" on the days of assigned assaults and begin attacking the small stones and other debris left by the "blitzkrieg" of men and machines. i 'Several Saturdays ago, local contractors donated equipment, men and material for a lightning attack that leveled the area as the first step in converting it into a suitable baseball diamond. Before it is ready for use, a 'raking assault is essential, hence the "call to arms" by Lieut.

Fence. The commander said members of Allegany Ballistics team in the County Softball League will also be asked to send "volunteers," as that "company," along with Rocking Chair clubs, will use the field during the diamoqji campaign. If the emergency, is met "by an adequate number of volunteers, Lieut. Penc.e said he is sure he can start dishing'out the discharges after only a week or more.

Will Bob.

Feller, Bob Leraon, Early Wynn and Mike Garcia, doing double duty, be able to finish strong pitching at this workhorse pace? Time will tell of course but based year's 'resulia the is 'no." A year ago, the "Big Four" carried the light-hitting Indians all the way until mid-September. Starting and relieving, the combination finally broke down under the stfetch-run burden despite the 20 or more victories racked up by Feller, Wynri and Garcia. Work At Killing; Face The same four are working at a more killing pace this -season. In Cleveland's 19 games, Feller, Lemon, Wynn and Garcia -have started all but one. They've also been used in relief four times.

Manager Al Lopez has been forced to use his big guns in relief because Lou Brissie, and Bob Chakales, his No. 1 and No. 2 reliefers, have been slow getting started. Lopez had to use Wynn in relief of Lemon yesterday and the.move paid The Indians from defeat the Boston Red Sox, ten innings. Wynn, who started and was knocked out'Sun-, day, yielded one run'in three in-' nings and was credited with his fourth victory against one defeat.

Shea Wins For Nats Righthander Frank Shea and Outfielder Archie Wilson, obtained via. trade from the New York Yankees Saturday, teamed up to give the Washington Senators a 13-1 victory over the skidding St. Louis Browns in the. only, night activity in" the 'major lea.gues." Shea surrendered one run before retiring in the eighth inning because of a cramped finger. It was bis first victory.

Wilson, who collected five hits Sunday, rapped a double and two singles and drove in five runs to lead the Senators' at- iack against starter Ned. Garver and relievers. Gaints Win Seventh In Row New York's Giants maintained their slim half-game margin over the Brooklyn Dodgers in the National League, making use of their four hits to nip the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, West Westrum's two-run homer and Bobby Thomson's run-scoring triple, plus the brilliant relief pitching of Montia Kennedy, earned the Giants their seventh straight victory. Ralph Branca, limited Pittsburgh to four hits as Andy Pafko and Gil Hodges paced the Dodgers to a 5-1 victory.with;home runs. All other teams were not scheduled.
