SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1945 HERE ARE AGUILAR’S SOFTBALL ALL STARS FOR PAST SEASON PLAYERS WITH IMPRESSIVE] RECORDS INCLUDED on, FOLLOWING THROUGH | SPORTS WRITER'S ExcLu-| SIVE OUTFIT By PEDRO AGUILAR | | This is the fourth team this {column is giving a review of in its doings in 1945. It is the Daily News ten. Of the three clubs that played this year under the name of Mi- ami Daily News, only John Lewis and Villareal have been a mem-} ber on all the teams. Batting averages of the players| follow: | Johnny Ogden played in one game for the News, went to bat ‘once, produced no runs and one/ hit for an average of 1.000. Fitch played in six games, went to’ bat 17 times, six runs and eight hits, .470. O. Cruz, ten games, 32 times at bat, nine runs and 15 hits, .468. Alonso, six games, 16 times at bat, five runs, seven hits, .437. Osterhoudt, nine games, 23 By PEDRO AGUILAR Here are the players I consider the best for a softball All- team. I have picked them from all the players who have engaged in the majority of games in 1945, not just those who have played at the end of the y and have an impressive record in th few games. i The players for my All-Star team have outstanding records all through the year. Behind the plate we have such! good performers as Sweecting,! Higgs, G. Valdez, Sierra and James Mira. Th have played most of the y: the best batting very good arm, so he is our fir choice for the position. Ja Mira, Higgs and G. Valdez run | for the losers. | Newsies close behind for second place. In the box we have s formers as J. Wa fin, C. Harris, P: Arias, F. Villareal, erts and F. Tyne well. My choice would be Walk- er, Harris and Vidal for the first team, “Sue” Griffin, Parks and! M. Arias for the second club. At first base, Tony Castellano, has the nod over all oth first} Sackers. Goss is ahead for the; second team, with P. Valdes a! close second. We have such second- sackers C. Garcia, Ch z Valdes, Albury played the year around and is a} hard man to pitch to—his ten] walks in the Winter League proves that. He walked 12 other times the rest of the year and} has 12 sacrifice hits to h He batted .286 for the Albury has the nod on th club for his all-around and Curi has not played enough games, ditto for Lou Gonzalez. At third base, there are Mario Hernandez, P. Baker, E., Albury, Pel Valle, Higgs, Malgrat, Diaz,} Joe Mira and othe Versatile Joe Mira gets the nod for the first team and Del Valle’s hitting with Porter Place and Southern Engi- neers earns for him a spot on the second club, with Mario Hernan- dez close behind. Jim Albury has played at shortstop in more games than any other, Charles Albury, Joe Na- varro, Marsh, Villareal, G. Val- dez, Lewis, Strickland and othe have been in and out of shor stop while playing other positions} all through the year. Jim Albury gets the choice, with Roman sec-} ond, followed by Marsh—taking| into consideration the number of games played at the position. IN SHORTFIELD, Papito Ma- chin has played a great year there and gets the nod for that position over J. Lewis, who has also done a good job. Again Curi Garcia shows up at this position but did not participate in eno: to be considered. Shepp: raldo, Sturtz, “Pie Traynor”, Valdez, Torres and others have played at shortfield, at Cc. Garcia, have not been at it long enough to be classed with Papito.| In the leftfield spot, C the leader, with McCollough, lareal, May: and Sierra also playing garden: In-centerfield, like is Vil- in that we have Mario Sturtz, M. Pazos, Mic Rogers, others, but Stu the year batted and fielded better than the rest, with R. Bethel and H. Machin close behind him.

HOLSUM AND MACHINISTS WIN GAMES BREADMEN CAPTURED SEC OND STRAIGHT: GREASE MONKEYS TRIUMPHED IN LAST GAME OF YEAR In the first game of the soft- ball twin bill at Bayview Park last night the Miami Daily News ten could only produce eight play- ers at game-time and thus for- feited to Holsum Bread. An ex- hibition game was played and the Newsmen, with Carey, Sue Grif- fin and Nelson, the great Eddie, won over the Bakers, 9 to 8. Sierra hit safely twice, as did Nelson, for the victors. Farraldo, Lopez and A. Mira got two apiece In the field, Goss and J. Lewis started for the and Seferino Lewis ex- ecuted sensational catches and P. Valdez were best for the Bread- men. Score: R. HE Newsmen 002 251—10 7 4 Bakers 070 020—9 8 2 Villareal and Brost; J. Roberts and J. Mira. Home run: A. Mira; two-base hits: Carey, Sierra; struck out: by Roberts 2, by Villareal 1; bases on balls: off Villareal 1, off Rob- erts 11; umpires: Kiger and Aritas. The Pitching of Johnny Walker featured the second game as he held the hard-hitting B29 Bomb- ers to two safeties as his Machin- ists teammates went to a 10-1 tri- umph in the final softball game of 1945. For four innings, Walker failed to give up a hit or run. In the fifth, Aritas lined a single to right for the first of two hits the Bomb- ers garnered off him and Curi Garcia got the other one in the seventh, a single to left. In the fifth, Walker issued a free ticket to first, then Aritas banged out his single and a passed ball allowed the runner to cross | the plate for the only marker the Bombers put on the scoreboard. Baker poled two safely for the victors. Carey slammed a dou- ble, scored two runs and drove home three.

Average hourly earnings for men; not including overtime pay, have gone up as follows: hese Objectives? LOWER PRICES G.E. has an obligation to a second group of people—the public. The public wants improved products at fair prices. “More goods for more people at less cost”—G.E.’s goal—is not a part-time assignment. It is a job for management and worker alike if G. E. is to keep growing, keep raising wages, keep making jobs for more workers. { A few figures show typical price de- creases: - Refrigerator Ss FAIR PROFITS G.E. during the war earned 4-7¢ on each dollar of sales. Of this, 4.i¢ was paid to its more than 200,000 stockholders, and the remaining six-tenths of a cent on each dollar was retained in the business to assist in carrying on and expanding its operations. All money earned over this 4-7¢ was turned back to the U. S. Govern- pl s. ment. G-E cost-saving methods had made war goods for less money than the Government expected. ‘ These dividends have been paid per share of common stock since 1935: 1835 $ 78 1935 1941 $199.00 129.95 2 LOMB). cis sis - onic! 1000 A5 1936 150 1945 (Sept) ou... 1.09 Overtime pay gave on top of this.
