Tel, 3887 Finding his bearings after a rocky start, Stanton Brownell pitched the Bove-Chevrolet team to a 4-2 Sunset League win over the Training Station Sunday afternoon at Cardincs Field. Brownell walked seven in the first three innings, but he was almost unhittable with men on bases. He allowed only three hits, one a solo homer far over the' right-center field fence in the seventh by Roy Ogden. Brownell fanned nine. The Station stranded seven runners in the first three innings.

Once Brownell located the plate the sailors were powerless, save for Ogden's long Foster Bolclt and Jim McKee, keynote Station sluggers, both were horsecollarecl. The Chevrolet nine scored three runs in the first, added another in the third and had runners on second and third with none away in the fourth when Jimmy Smith was summoned as a relief pitcher. Smith held the civilians, to two hits the rest of the journey, walking one one and fanning seven. He retired the first 12 batters in order. Charley Young finally broke Smith's spell by doubling down the right field line in the eighth with none away.

Charley raced to third on" an error. Billy Martin followed with a fly to deep menter, but Young- thought two men were out and didn't tag up. So the Bovo team lost almost run. Everett Borges opened the winners' three-run first inning by coaxing a. pass.

After Joe Hattub sacrificed. Jackie Alien and Geneo De Ascentis singled. An error and a fielder's choice did the rest of the mischief. The Chevrolets picked vp their fourth and final marker in the third on singles by Brownell, Ray Garcia and an error. In their haff of the same inning the Station Islanders tallied one run, thanks to two walks, an error and "Willie" Wilson's infield hit.

The rest of the game was a pictheiV duel. Smith did some excellent pitching especially in the fourth when a double by Borges and Hattub's single drove starter John Albright to cover. On an attempted "squeeze" play. Allen was out bunting foul on his third strike. DeAscentis popped to Ogden and Brownell lined to left where Therrault made a glove- hand catch.

Left on When Frank Corridon, Newport's only contribution to major league baseball, pitched for Rogers High in the late 1890's, the high school diamond team had little crowd appeal. In describing the lack of followers, The Daily News commented that games were played in the presence of enough spectators to pay for one ball," or "before about a dozen spectators." Rare for a pitcher, Frank was Rogers' lead-off batter, and a good one, too. The slender Corridon waa a crack high school pitcher though the hurler who later annoyed John McGraw's Giants and other big league clubs, was not im'incible. His strike outs usually were in double figures, but he lost ta Rhode Island State and Providence High when his support sagged.

Rogers committed 11 errors in the latter game, So even the passage of half a century has not changed baseball much. The Vikings still occasionally bob up with 11 misplays. Even the weather is the same. Fans in '98 complained that the first warm day didn't come until May 21. The Newport club in the New England League huddled around a pot-bellied stove in the dressing room at old Freebody Park on chilly spring days.

One thing is different today. Thst is the time required to play games. The old-timers did not dilly-dally around for three hours. The Newports played 19 consecutive games in under two hours. When they finally took 18 minutes over the' two-hour mark there was a reason: they beat Taunton, 26-10.

Some Sunset League pitchers have shot-gun arms--their throws fly in all directions. Statistics of the first four games show that pitchers' on the winning clubs walked 27 in 31 innings and the losing flingers issued 26 passes in 30 rounds. Contrast this wildness with the accuracy displayed by such control specialists as Bill Cooper, Lennie DeSantis or Sam Crawford, to mention just a few of the former Sunset slingers. Crawford walked batters at a rate of once every five and one-third innings. Control is still as important as overpowering stuff.

When a pitcher has both he is even a more vital figure than a Williams or a Musial. In the big show Christy Mathewson of the Giants, and "Pete" Alexander, Phillies, Cubs and Cards, were two of the best. "Matty" walked a batter every 5. 8 innings, Alex every 5.5. When Chief Bender, the one time Philadelphia A's star, was through as a major leaguer, ne managed and pitched for a club in the Virginia League.

The Indian pitched 280 innings that season, von 29. lost two and doled out only 22 bases on balls. Stanton Brownell. Bove-Chevrolet's star pitcher, is one of the Sunsetters handicapped by poor control. In two starts this season, totalling 15 innings.

"Brownie" yielded only eight hits and fanned 18. But he walked 17. more than one per inning. Bill Kenney, former De La Salle star, lost to top seeded Jimmy Evert of Fort Lauderdale, 6-3, 6-4, in the final of the annual Spring tournament of the Professional Lawn Tennis Association last week at Elnsford, N. Y.

Kenney is a professional at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. His brother. Harry, pro at The Courts, Ardmore, was beaten in doubles. On his way to the final Bill upset second seeded Mitch Gornto. Canadian pro champion, 10-8, 2-6.

6-3. Ed Copeland of New York, seeded fourth, was another plaj-er who bowed to the Newporter. Bill and Harry are sons of the late Daniel Kenney, who was for many years the tennis professional at the Newport Casino. The other two Kenney brothers also followed in their dad's footsteps. Frank is the pro at the Wilmington, Country Club, and Jack, who was killed in action during the recent war, was a tennis instructor.
