-PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: TUESDAY, JUY 11, 1948 Riddle, Kiner Skare Glory in 4 Sidelights on mi -12 By AL ABRAMS, Sports Editor Elmers 5 -Hitter, Four Quintets Jump to BAA Kiner Booing Uncalled For Only way I can describe those fans who have been booing Ralph Kiner of late, is to use an old Hill District expression: "They have rocks in their heads!" Nothing short of ignorance will permit a person to jeer an athlete undeservedly. There may be those who permit their money, bet on the outcome of the game, to talk for them in this fashion, but I am convinced that the Ralph's Slugging Defeat Brooklyn Bucs Steal Game From Bums Washington Declare War When Draft Is Opened Rally Beats Browns, 6-2 Podoloff Is Re-Elected, And Single to Drive In 3 Huns As 31,355 See First Night Game By Vince Johnson Post-Gazette Baseball Writer Elmer Riddle, who cost a paltry $10,000, continue Piggy Lambert Quits Commissioner Post Pound Sam Zoldak For Four Tallies In Sixth Inning WASHINGTON, May 10 UP) majority of those who were on Kiner back were not betting. The booing was too scattered for this. I am mindful too of the fact, that any person who purchases a ticket, has the right to cheer or boo as he or she wishes. But why pick on a boy like Kiner, who was our only claim to baseball distinction last year? Neither Frankie Gustine nor Wally Westlake could "buy" a base bit during the spring exhibition games but CHICAGO, May 10 UP) Four Washington pounced on Sam Zol look like a $100,000 pitcher Monday night as he set do the Brooklyn Dodgers on five hits to give the Pirates a -victory.

AI Abrams look at them now. Gustine, who went into Monday night's game sporting an 11-game hit streak, has connected safely in 14 of the 17 contests to date, while Westlake came through in 12 out of 15. While statistically minded, I might add some gruesome figures compiled by the Pirate pitching department in the four games prior to the night tussle with the Dodgers. The Giants and Bums raked Bucco slabmen for a total of 43 runs and 57 hits, an average of almost 11 tallies and 16 bingles. Sixteen of the blows went for doubles and five for home runs.

Add to these 20 bases on balls and you will see why Billy Meyer is beginning to get his early season headaches. Polio Fund Enriched Dr. William D. McClelland, chairman of the Allegheny County Sports Committee of the Polio Fund, has acknowledged receipt of a $6,000 check from the Dapper Dan Club of Pittsburgh to go towards the fight against Infantile Paralysis. This makes a total of $24,149.29 given the Polio Fund by the Dapper Dan Club.

This also raises the organization's all-time contributions close to the $100,000 figure. College Boys Best? The late Jock Sutherland would never commit himself when asked the question: "Which coaching job did you like best college or pro?" His answer was always something like this: "The professionals are more experienced and in most cases easier to work with. However, I got much enjoyment out of working with young boys and seeing them develop as football players." Recommended Reading Fred Lieb, former New York sports writer, does an excellent job on the latest baseball book dropped on this desk, titled: 'The Pittsburgh Pirates." traces step-by-step the city's colorful and eventful diamond background. Lieb devotes a couple of chapters to the famous "Banjo Boys" of 1921 to 1924 namely Charley Grimm, Rabbit Maranville, Cotton Tierney and George Whitted. The Pirate mutiny in 1926; the Cuyler insurrection and other historic happenings make the book well worth reading- Columbus Adopts Pirates Columbus, Ohio, is approximately 190 miles away, but according to Lew Byrer, a writer there, baseball fans in that city have adopted the Pirates in place of the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians.

This is due, says Byrer, to. the fact that John Gal-breath, one of the Buc owners, fives in Columbus and that eighth with the Pirates behind, 2-1.

Luke "on" Dempsey Luke Barnett, the famous ribber, once went up to Jack Dempsey and asked for the former heavyweight champion's autograph. The always-obliging Jack wrote down his name with a flourish and handed the paper back to Barnett. The latter took one look at the name, made a wry face and handed it back to Dempsey with the following comment, in a German accent. "Jack Dempsey! I didn't vant your autograph. 1 thought you was Fritzie Zivic!" Luke turned on his heels while the astonished Dempsey stood there unable to say anything.
