In- creased enrollment in the third |year, 1932, called for further ex-| pansion and a “C” league was or-| \gamzed. | The effect on the community has | been remarkable. The league did not materially affect the high school team of 1931, but in 1932 the school team was one of the' best in the state and lost only ,three games 'of ‘a long schedule. This year the team closad its sea- son without a defeat. ‘The youthful players have helped When Tor;e_;y H urled His g No-Hitter; He Could Have Done a Lot Better NEW YORK, July 20. — Tom Clarke, pitching coach for the New York Giants, can recall only one igame to compare with Carl Hub- bell’s recent 18 inning six-hit shut- out of the St. Louis Cardinals. It was Fred Toney's 10-inning, no-hitter against the Chicago Cubs in 1917. Toney was pitching for Cincinnati at the time. “While it lasted that game was even tighter than Hubbell's duel with Carleton,” the Cubs, and neither he nor Ton- ey allowed even a scratch hit for nine innings. Clarke declared. | “'Hippo Vaughn was pitching for (that game, however, was Toney's reaction in the clubhouse after- ward. His catcher had been one “Horsehead” Huhn, the club’s third string receiver. “When we reached the clubhouse I went up to Toney and said: “Why |don’t you give your catcher some |credit. He handled you perfectly. He pulled you through to fame.' “‘What happened'? asked Toney. |‘'Was it a good game?’ “‘Toney,’ I sald, ‘you came through with a super effort.

' Richmond has over 300 boys playing sandlot baseball and as more funds are secured this num- ber will be increased. It is the be- lief of those associated with the'! movement that more than 600 boys eventually will be taking part in the program. And Richmond has a population of ‘about 32,000! A similar project at Toledo, Ohio, was the inspiration for the local {organization. Sam Vigran, local }sporung goods dealer and baseball |enthusiast, called attention of the iPalladium-ILem. Richmond news- paper, to the plan and sought fi- 'nancial backing. E. H. Harris, the publisher, al- ways interested in community proj- ects, listened to the idea favor- ably but asked for expert advice | before backing the program. | Civic Bodies Help | Response was only luke-warm.' |The physical department of the schools reported little interest in i‘ba:eball. Vigran's enthusiasm, how- jever, overcame all obstacles and an arrangement was made by which the newspapers furnished- the balls and equipment, while the sporting goods store furnished the bats. | The American Legion, Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions clubs aided in buying -uniforms, giving the boys a real incentive to wark for a place on the team. | Slightly more than 200 boys signed up to play. The city was di- vided into six districts and the league was composed of one team from each. Men with experience’ were selected to sponsor the teams and the services of capable um-| pires were donated. A commission ' composed of the city's leading busi- ness men and boys’ workers handles | the affairs of the organization.
