OOK FOR PITCHERS'
JATTLE, THERE YOU
mi FIND ROBERTS
—
By FRANK ECK
(AP Newsleatures Sport Editor)
NEW YORK — li — Tlliii '..‘“re
hirteen 1-0 pitching due'-, in the
National League during the 1950
eason—and Robin Roberts of the
^hillies was involved in four of
hem. ’.j
Roberts won three of these games,
eating Ewell Blackwell of Cin
innati (two hits), Bob Rush of
he Cubs (six hits) and Max Lanier
if the Cardinals (five hits). He
willed two other shutouts. Rob
■rts lost a 1-0 game against Frank
filler of the Cubs when the latter
teld the Phillies to two hits.
Roberts probably the best young
litcher in the National League—
ies 24—lost a chance to win a
ourth 1-0 game when Pee Wee
Reese drove a ball against the right
ield screen at Ebbets Field the
losing day of the season. The
ball stuck there for a home run.
Roberts eventually won the game,
1-1, for his 20th victory. It gave
he Phillies their first National
_eague pennant in 35 years.
Southpaws Preacher Roe of the
Codgers and Harry Brecheen of the
Cardinals both turned in a pair of
1-0 victories. Roe beat Blackwell
uid Larry Jansen, while Brecheen
gained slim victories over Johnny
Schmitz of the Cubs and Willard
Kamsdell of the Reds.
Four of the 1-0 games were de
cided by home runs. Del Rice won
i game for Brecheen by homeritig
off Schmitz in the 13th inning.
Andy Seminick gave Roberts fits
third 1-0 win with a homer off
Lanier, Hank Sauer beat Roberts
for Hiller with a tour bagger and
Virgil Stallcup’s homer was the
only run as Howie Fox of the Reds
beat Monlia Kennedy of the Giants,
1-0.
Vernon Bickford of the Braves
hurled the only no-hit game, beat
ing Brooklyn 7-0. The best 1-0
effort probably was Hiller’s two
hitter against the Phillies. The
former Yankee didn’t walk a man.

4FS MAY BE
DRAFTED IN
EMERGENCY
By JOHN CHANDLER
(Associated Press Sportswriter)
Professional and amateur athletes
got implicit notice today from De
fense Secretary George Marshall
that 4F’s probably will find them
: elves drafted in the present emer
11 ency if the necessity demands.
If inducted. Marshall said, the
men could be used in non-combat
duty, thus relieving more cf the
physically fit for the fighting front.
The question arose at a session
cl the House Armed Services Com
mittee in Washington yesterday
when it was recalled that many ath
letes who failed to pass Selective
Service physical examinations were
deferred in the last war.
May Draft 4F’s
A new bill proposing to draft 13
, year-olds and establishing a univer
sal military service and training
system now is under discussion.
Although it was not specified,
Pentagon officials later made it
plain that if it was decided to draft
the 4F’s, not only athletes but men
from all walks of life would be af
fected.
Officials of major league baseball
and football immediately gave full
support to the proposal, many of
them pointing out that the athletes
themselves would prefer such serv
ice.
Exemptions
Actually, unless the international
situation requires drastic changes ii.
mobilization requirements, such
sports as major league baseball and
football will feel little effect untei
present regulations.
The present draft applies or>'.y to
men from 19 through 25 y.ars cf
age, and exempts veterans of World
War II and n.s .ied men with de
pendents. Rosters of most of the
professional clubs are stocked with
players who saw service in the last
war, are 26 or over, or are married.
Players Called
Erv Palica, 23. Brooklyn Dodgers
pitcher who failed to pass his phy
sical last November, passed a new
i examination yesterday. He suffered
high blood pressure, but now is ex
pected to be inducted within three
| weeks.
Others who might be called for
I limited service include such base
A WORD TO THE WISE
You may save by buying ihai
Scope Sight NOW. It is im
possible to predict future
prices and deliveries.
It is quite possible that sights
will become increasingly
scarce, more costly, and
even unobtainable. So . . .
better be sure and get yours
now while they are in stock.
