Edwin Mathews Emerges as Braves Prospect in Spring Stars
Edwin Lee Mathews, an 18 year old third baseman from Santa Barbara, California, shined in Bradenton with the Boston Braves camp. Signed to a Milwaukee contract, he impressed and eyed a future with Atlanta after a stellar Southern Association season. He hit six homers in his first 10 games and led in triples with a .307 batting mark. Mathews, a former Hi-Toms standout, also excelled in high school football, scoring 16 touchdowns, and turned down USC Stanford and California scholarships to pursue baseball. He was born in Texarkana, Texas, and moved west with his family.

Citation May Miss Arlington Futurity
Calumet Farm's star Citation may skip the 75000 Arlington Futurity at Arlington Park next Saturday after lame steps at the track last week. Calumet, dominant at Arlington last year, has yet to win a stake this meeting as it heads into its sixth and final week. Two Lea is a slight favorite in the 30000 added Arlington Matron for older fillies and mares Wednesday, while Ponder remains Calumet's other big hope for the big purse.
