Lorain County Coaches Shine in 1949-50 Hs Basketball
Lorain County high school coaches earned praise for strong 1949-50 seasons led by Avon Lake Gordon Sprete and Wellington Gil Shellhouse. Avon Lake won the Eastern Di (B) League title with a 18–2 mark, while Wellington claimed the Southwestern Conference crown. Eaton Johnny Imes and Lorain St. Marys Hal Langton posted top records, Brighton Bill Jenkins led the Western Division champions, and Elyria Catholic Eddie Kubuski steered a first-year program to six wins. The season ended with Norton beating Wellington in a Class B playoff at Kent. An Elyria YMCA tournament with 44 teams in four divisions begins soon, and sectional action looms as St. Ignatius star Dave Demko chases a scoring record at Baldwin Wallace. The 47th American Bowling Congress opens in Columbus April 15 with a 5,109-team field and a multi-day event lasting 60 days.

Keller Eyes Comeback as Tigers Hope Spring Fuel
Detroit fans rally around Charley Keller after a promising intra-squad note hints he may reclaim form. Red Rolfe cites Keller as a class addition and potential clutch hitter to lift a Tigers team that lost 20 one-run games last season. If back in top shape, Keller could sharpen Detroit’s offense and challenge the Yankees for supremacy.

Murray May Get Crack At Indians Backstopping Job
Cleveland manager Lou Boudreau weighed giving Ray Murray a chance to back up Jim Hegan if Murray hits this spring and Hegan stumbles. Muddy Ruel remains cautious about Murray’s catching, though acknowledges some improvement. Doby hit a 450 foot homer off Bob Lemon as the reserve squad won 3 2 in intra squad play. Joe Gordon and Ken Keltner were limited by injury and weather kept them out of the lineup on chilly days. George Zulverink pulled a muscle in his right leg while pitching and faces a short timeline to heal before the next exhibition against the Giants.
