DANCE Natatorium DOUGLAS SUNDAY NITE September 4 MUSIC BY LILLIAN UGGEN and her ORCHESTRA Star Team Chosen From 135 Players In Bowl Softhall Based on statistics compiled dur- ing the 1938 softball season ir Ev- ergreen Bowl, the following all- city all-star team has been selected Since 135 players have participated and since more than 30 players bat- ted better than .300, selection has | been extremely difficult in many cases. First Team Member Club Position John Tandoo, Trucker catcher | Bob Henning, Rocket pitcher Howard Day, Trucker 1st base | Bob Davlin, Rocket 2nd base Jud Whittier, Rocket 3rd base Gordon Ferguson, Rocket 1. short Alexander Miller, All-Star . r. short Forrest Fennessy, Federal 1. field Harry Peterson, Trucked . .c. field Lloyd Hildinger, Trucker r. field Second Team Member Club Position Bob Coughlin, Federals catche pitcher 1st base Tom Powers, All-Stars Leonard Holmquist, Fed. John Whitely, Trucker ...2nd base Paul Coke, All-Star 3rd base y Herrett, Trucker .1 short Palmer, Miner r. short| Woody Burnett, Rocket 1. field Art Burke, Trucker c. field Robert Commers, Rocket . .r. field Johnny Tandoo was chosen all-| star catcher because the ball seldom got by him and no man ever tried to steal a base with him behind the batter. Besides flashing tricks of the game at times, Tandoo can also | boast of a 565 batting for the sea- son. Conceded the best pitcher in the league, Bob Henning had the fast- est ball and a change of pace that caused batters to swing before the ball came anywhere near the plate Not only was Henning considered one of the best infielders, but his | .636 batting must be reckoned with | also of the season in batting and ending with a .391, Howard Day performed his duties at first like a veteran Day'’s fielding, catching and throw- |ing many times won the admiration of softball fans. | Bob Davlin, at second, Jud Whit- | "tier at third, and Gordon Ferguson at left shortstop formed what was considered the only air-tight in- field in the league. Davlin hit 516 Whittier .428 and Ferguson .474 | Alexander Miller wins his place| on the all-star team by his ability to guess where the batter wasgoing to hit the ball, thus becoming vaiu- | able as a roving short. Miller was| | the highest ranking hitter amor the team managers in the league with a 412, Time and again Forrest Fen- nessy robbed heavy hitters of hits by his uncanny maneuvers in left-| field. Not only invaluable as a field- er but Fennessy hit a neat .458 for| llh(‘ season, | It was Harry Peterson's ability to| hit in the critical moments that has |won him outstanding recognition. Harry hit a .529 for the season and | proved a valuable fielder at all times.
