King Notes at Bat as 454 Fans Endure Weather
In a wet night crowd of 454 at Veterans Park, Bob Herron of Clairton Pa delivered a single and a walk in three plate appearances while his father Mr Herron watched from the stands. The Mt Vernon dispute over a May 30 victory was resolved with Maurice Owen correctly credited as the winning pitcher after a review by the Official Scorers Bureau in Columbus Ohio.

Kids Fight to Save Ernie Eveland as Coach
Paris Illinois June 15 forty prep athletes stood with coach Ernie Eveland before the School Board demanding a public hearing on his ouster. Eveland called the 14 charges of insubordination lies and pressed for a bill of particulars. A spokesman for the athletes argued they are taxpayers' sons and entitled to speak. Eveland, Paris High School coach for 14 years, led the team to the 1947 State Basketball title. A 921-signature petition urged reinstatement after the board warned him to resign or be fired. Eveland is also linked to possible coaching roles with the Chicago Stags.
