His signing followed a five-day trial scllool held by the Tacoma club last week in Tacoma in which over 50 young athletes aspiring' for a professional baseball career participated. The Shelton boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cart- wright of Mt. View, was one of only five boys in the school who were offered contracts by the Tigers. The huskily built Cartwright will report to the Tigers spring training camp next year and if the Tacoma management feels he needs experience in a league of lower classification may be op- tieRed to a club in the Class C ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES 8EPAA:TE BUT ALLIED FIRMS UNDER ONE ROOF QUALITY ELECTRIC WIRING 6mranCeed Material artd Workmanship --C.

While an independent organiza- tion, the Tacoma club has a wfrk- ing agz'eement witil the Chicago Cubs of the National League. Cartwright's signing of a pro- fessional contract follows by just a week a similar step taken by Carl Sundsten, promising catcher of Highclimber and junLor legion teams here the past three years, who inked a contract with the St. Louis Browns (American Leagte.) ball club on September 7. Cart- wright's signing by Tacoma was partially the result of recom- mendations to the Tacoma man- agement made by Fratk Tobin, former Shelton baseball figure of the late 1930s, who helped Conduct the Tiger school and who acts as a part-time Tiger scout. Cartwright topped this year's crack Shelter junior legion team with a .500 batting average and was also one of the top stickers on this spring's l]igh school club, playing a key role with his hard llitting, fine fielding and alert baserunning in the remarkable record of 30 victories against only five defeats which the 1947 High- climber and junior legion teams compiled together. An honor society tudent acad- emically in high school, Cart- wright earned three varsity letters in baseball, one in basketball, and was a leader among his class- mates throughout high school. He was graduated with the Class of 1947 last May. He has been working--ad will continue to do so throughout the winter--with a P.U.D. No. 3 main- tenance and selwice crew.

III I Blazers Get Honor 0f Playing First Night Grid Game The honor of playing the first football game under the new Loop Field lights will fall to Slelton's junior high school squad next week when they entertain Con- trails Junior high school in a benefit game Friday evening, Sep- tember 26, with the kickoff se for eight o'clock. The junior high school athletic fund, which has been taxed heav- ily for football equipment, will be bolstered from receipts of the game. Coach Ray Patrick and Assist- ant Coach Cliff Hawkins have been moulding what appears to be one of Shelton's most potent ju- nior high clubs from a squad of over 50 candidates, among wholT are several exceptionally husky lads. /k first string composed of Jim Miller and Dick Sharpes, end: Harmon Sparr and Tike Hillman tackles: Wes Frank and Tom Beuchel, guards; Vern Zellman, center; Jack Davidson, quarter; Gay and Frank Warmoth, half- backs; and Fritz Priszner, fu]l- back, has been working as a unit much of the time lately with Frank Kenyon looking good enough in the backfield to push one of the others out of the line- up at any time. The squad received a couple of jolts last week when Sam Miller suffered a cracked collar bone and Loren Mclrvin broke his left ankle. A speedball scatback. Mill- er was just beginning to show real promise when his injury put him out for the season. Mclrvin, a husky eighth-grader, had caught Patrick's eye because of his size and tie fact he still has a year of junior high competition left af- ter this year. Both lads were con- sidered cinches to earn their let- ters this year. Patrick said. The Blaze,' coach, however, is already counting on McIrvin's services next year.

Coach Norm Hil]yard was not certain as this is' written just how serious the Heuer and Rice injur- ies arc but he is sure neither will be at top form by any means. To fill Rice's shoes at fullback Hillyard switched Herb Jackson, reserve tackle, into the backfield Tuesday afternoon and the husky Spencer Lake youth responded with tle finest exhibition of hard running and generally effective ball lugging of Highclimber prac- tices so far. Jackson roared through the varsity reserve line-- which is no pushoverfor large and consistent gains and may be the answer to Hillyard's prayer for a dependable yardage gainer, one of the glaring weaknesses of the 1947 grid machine. If Rice is able to play tomor- row, the only change in Shelton's starting lineup from that which opened the jamboree last Friday will be in the line, where rugged Jolmny Miller will get tile call at right tackle in place of Norm Buek according to the Highclimb- er coach. That means Ken Carl- son and Marty Cottrell will man the flanks, Cec Crowe and Miller the tackles, Dave Eager and Mel Newman the guards, Ken Cardinal center', Bob Cleveland will be at quarter, Glen Anderson and Paul Koch at the halves, and Rice at fullback if able to play. Rice may also move to Koch's halfback spot with Jackson taking over at full- back, Hillyard hinted. Whatever the outcome of the game, somebody is going to walk home from Olympia, for Coach Hilyard made a bet with his squad that if Shelton wins he'll come hbme shanks mare, if Olympia wins the squad wears out shoe- leather on the 21-mile return from the Capital City. Two teams in the same kind of boat will be tangling in tomor- row night's traditional affair for the Bears, like their Mason Coun- ty rivals, have a big veteran line in front of an uncertain back- field. Olympia Coach Chick Rock- cy has been doing a lot of shift- ing of his players, just as has Hillyard, in an effort to uncover a consistent ground gainer and a passer. Dr. R. D. Callison has volun- teered his services as the High- climbers" team physician and will be on the bench at all home games and as many of the squad's trav- eling games as he can arrange to make. lext week Shelton plays Bel- larmine of Tacoma in a night game on Fife Memorial field starting at eight o'clock, Princi- pal George Hermes announced yesterday. Guest at Potlatch Home Turns Fishing Tables on His Host Sometimes the grass on the oth- 'er side of the fence isn't so green at that--or as A1 Strine of Pot- latch would paraphrase the old saying, the fish close to home are bigger than those in the other fel- lows' bailiwick. Al thought the salmon should i be .hitting at the Harems Harems last Saturday morning but his Olympia guest, Bill Baker, main- ]tenance electrician at Fort Lewis, thought the. water right in front of the Stine home looked pretty good. Each determined to prove he was right. So A1 came home empty-handed from Harems Ham- • na to find Bill with foul' big kings and silvers. Convinced Bill had the right dope, the pair went fishing again Sunday morning in front of the Strine home and re- turned with five more silvers. The nine fislx of the two-daY catch ranged between 17//2 and 26 pounds, all caught on Lucky Louie plugs on the morning tides. 18, 1947. divorces were signed by Judge ason County session Saturday to GOOD CLEAN COME ONE -- COME ALL-- 00hrisiian I AT MEMORIAL HALL i W J N E =- Every Saturday N ht  .  • g .
