Centerfield And Second Base Shake Up Clarke-Frederick League
Stephens City in the Clarke Frederick Winchester Evening Star League fields a new infield and pitching rotation for 1950. Coach Lester Singhass relies on Bill Bailey as ace and Thomas Reardon behind the plate while Lewis Ewing, Millard Singhass, Ernest Welch, and Charles Coates fill infield posts. Outfield battles continue with David Brown leading two freshmen contenders for center field and regulars Dean Baughman and Richard Dick in left and right. Rebounding from a .314 season in 1949, Welch works to regain his hitting form as openings and new talent shape the lineup.
