Show . v ST. LOUIS IJROWNS SCOUT LOOKS OVER MNUHAM PROSPECT Stanley Long, a senior this year at Bingham high school and pitcher for Bingham's 1940 championship American Legion junior baseball and state high school teams, has a good chance to get a college scholarship and a tryout with the St. Louis Brown's, it was revealed here this week. At least that is what Jack Fournier, one of baseball's greatest great-est big league first basemen and St. Louis Browns scout, says. Fournier visited here Tuesday with Bailey J. Santistevan, high school coach. The Browns are gradually coming to the top and in a few years should have a good club. Their weakness this year is in the pitching staff. Fournier says he believes Long, who is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Long of Copperton, is a good pitching prospect. If Stanley is interested in the offer the Browns make he will probably have as roommate in school and training another 17-year-old boy by the "name of Smith, now in a Seattle, Wash., high school." Fournier played with Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox and Brooklyn Dodgers. He will cover the American legion junior base-hall base-hall tournament at Helper. |
