p- 1 1 " " - ' " 1 1 1 1 m Ball Crew Gathers Thunder For Pinmey Game Gilbertmen Set Practice Tilt For Sunday at Community; Dalebout Heads Horsehiders Showing great promise after a month of practice, South baseball ers have settled down to regular preseason play by scheduling a game with the powerful Pinney Beverage semipro nine, Sunday, at Community Park. The brand of ball that Coach Gilbert's men have displayed so far this spring give definite indU cations of another championship for South in baseball. The Sunday Sun-day contest will give observers their first chance to see the '43 Baseball Schedule West at South... April 22 South at East April 29 South at West May 13 East at South May 20 edition in action and will give the players badly needed experience, against a powerful team. Jerry Dalebout, star second baseman for the Cub team was selected unanimously as team captain cap-tain and willj do the brainwork for the organization, prompted by Coach Gilbert. Jake held down the second base spot on last year's championship team and played a major part in the taking of the crown. Jimmy has a very smooth working work-ing infield consisting of Don Shep-hard Shep-hard at third, Glen Standing at short, "Captain" Dalebout at second, sec-ond, and Abe Berthold at the first sack. The Standing-Dalebout-Ber-thold combination is particularly adept in twin killings and Shepherd does a mighty good job of covering cover-ing the "hot corner." Four candidates, Paul Roberts, Eldon Story, Leonard Trottier and "Spider" Woodward vie for the starting outfield positions. Roberts and Story will probably play left and center field respectively with Woodward and Trottier waging a hot battle for the "sun" field spot. Southpaw Kent Peterson is ready and rax-in' to go and will probably start both the Sunday contest and the city opener against West high on the 22nd of this month. Dean Christensen rates the number one right hander spot on the pitching staff and is slated for plenty of action. The catching assignment is still wide open. Bob Story, last year's starting catcher, hasn't shown up in all the practice sessions, leaving the way open for such newcomers as little Dick Powers and Wayne Cooper. Both of these men show lots of class behind the plate, i 1 |
