A Fish Story...
Bosox Fan
Eats Frozen
Mackeral
Boseton, July 6—UP)—Joe Cap-
illo kept his word and pushed a
frozen mackeral up Commonwealth
Avenue yesterday—and then ate it.
Joe, an ardent Boston Red Sox
fan, was a little rash when he
wrote a Boston newspaper (the
Post) a few weeks ago:
“PH personally push a mackeral
up Commonwealth Avenue if the
Red Sox aren’t in first place by
the Fourth of July.”
The holiday came and went—
with the Sox in fourth place.
So yesterday, Joe, who lives in
Gloucester and the mackerel, for
merly of the Atlantic Ocean, were
driven to Boston.
Dressed in a yellow sou’wester,
oilskin pants and hat—and his
knees padded—he got down and be
gan pushing the macheral with his
nose on the sidewalk outside the
Hotel Kenmore.
He was coached by George
“Birdie” Tebbetts, the Red Sox
catcher, and cheered by Red Sox
fans, but booed loudly by three fair
young ladies who admitted they
were fans of the Boston Braves
in the National League.
The “push” ended when the 21-
year-old youth had shoved the fish
a distance of 20 feet. Friends de
cided Joe could eat his words as
well in 20 feet as in the whole long
length of the Avenue. %
Afterwards hotel officials offer
ed to cook the fish for Joe if he
wanted to eat it.
Joe did—even though it was
somewhat bruised and battered.
season as he retired the visiting
hitters consecutively in six of the
nine innings.
Today at 6:30 p.m. in Sports
Park the duo will clash in a double
header.
Trojans Scored Early
The winners started scoring early
with two runs in the third frame
off of three singles and a fielders
choice. The Sports had loaded the
bases in the first and second in
nings but failed to send anyone
home.
Recently appointed manager of
the Sports, Joe Niedson, led off
with a double in the bottom of the
third, and he was still on second
when the side was retired.
Roland Cyr led the home hitters
with a perfect day at the plate,
claiming two for two, and Niedson’s
double was the Sports other hit.
Cyr was left stranded on second
base three times and on third once.
The top of the fourth, fifth, and
sixth innings were duplicates of the
first two innings as Fernandez re
tired the sides in order.
In the seventh inning the Tro
jans added their third run off of
two singles and an infield out.

Card Pitchers
Excluded From
NL All-Stars
New York, July 6—(AP)
The National League will at
tempt to break the Ameri
cans’ all-star monopoly next
Tuesday without the help of
St. Louis Cardinal pitchers.
Manager Burt Shotton yesterday
failed to name a single Redbird
among hi^ eight all-star hurlers.
Baseball men consider this a sur
prising move since they attribute
the Cardinals’ current first place
position to the splendid work of
their pitchers.
Shotton named two of his own
Brooklyn aces—Don Newcombe and
Preacher Roe. The others are Rob
in Roberts and Jim Konstanty of
Philadelphia, Warren Spahn of
Boston: Bob Rush of Chicago;
Ewell Blackwell of Cincinnati and
Larry Jansen of New York.
Shotton may have been reading
history in not naming a St. Louis
pitcher. Since the all-star competi
tion between the two leagues be
gan in 1933, at least one Cardinal
pitcher was selected in all but two
years. The National won botji times
without St. Louis pitching/Consid-
ering that the National has won
only four of 16 (no game in 1945),
it may have given Burt an idea.
Cards Thick Elsewhere
Shotton had no say in his start
ing lineup which was picked for
him by the fans. If Shotton ignor
ed the Cards, the fans certainly
didn’t. They named Stan Musial
first base, Marty Marion for short
stop and Enos Slaughter for one
of the outfield positions. In addi
tion, Red Shoendienst picked up
enough votes to be named as an al
ternate for second base.
Philadelphia’s Willie Jones, at
third, and Brooklyn’s Jackie Robin
son, at second, round out the start
ing infield. Hank Sauer of Chicago
and Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh
complete the outfield. Roy Cam-
panella of Brooklyn will be catch
er.
Shotton rounded out the 25-man
squad with:
Infielders—Gil Hodges and Pee-
wee Reese, Brooklyn, and Eddie
Stanky, New York.
Outfielders—Andy Pafko, Chica
go; Duke Snider, Brooklyn: Johnny
Wyrostek, Cicninnati, and Dick Sis-
ler, Philadelphia.
Catcher—Walker Cooper, Boston.

Wimbledon, July 6—(AP)
—Deonair Budge Patty and
nev.er-say-die Frank Sedgman
won the men’s singles semi
finals in the all-England lawn
tennis tournament yesterday be
fore a wildly clapping center court
crowd of more than 15,000.
Both men played brilliantly but
Sedgman’s hectic five set duel
with Jaroslav Drobny stood head
and shoulders above Patty’s al
ways certain triumph over fellow
American Vic Seixas.
The amazing 22-year-old top-
seeded Sedgman lost the first 2 sets
in short order to the self-exiled
Czech. But this young Australian
never has learned the meaning of
the word quit and at the end of al
most three nerve-wracking hours
he came out on top, 3-6,-3-6, 6-3,
7-5, 6-2.
By comparison Patty had a tea
party against the drooping Phil
adelphian, who was still dog-tired
from his five-set upset triumph
over Eric Thurgess Tuesday. Patty
won the match, 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 7-5.
Sedgman and Patty, natives of
Los Angeles who now live in
Paris, will meet over the best of
five sets in the final Friday after
noon.
The American Wightman cup
team of Doris Hart, Louise Brough,
Mrs r Margaret Osborne DuPont

rest of the field in the women’s
singles and will now settle the title
among themselves.

Texas 7, W'alton 6
Walton, once master of Texas
Geology, 3-0, almost downed the
Texas crew again yesterday after
noon in an extra-inning tilt in
which the lead changed hands three
times.
Sparked by Bill Kohn’s homer,
and Rick Whitaker’s two singles,
and John O’Donaho’s one-hit hurl
ing, Texas held a 5-0 lead going in
to the fifth.
Then O’Donaho lost his touch.
He walked the first two batters

singles to Jack Stroman and Ray
Murphy. Jim Wade drove two runs
across the plate with a single to

Arthur Gieck, Mickey Mikeska,
and Place collected Dorm 15’s most
decisive safeties. Frank Davidson,
R. G. Taylor, and A. S. Wilson
divided the Dorm 16 bingles.
