SHELTON, OLYMPIA FOOTBALL FRACAS FRIDAY
MARV CARTWRIGHT SIGNS PRO
BALL CONTRACT WITH TACOMA
Professional baseball beckoned
to a second youthful Shelton aLl]-
lets within a week when Marvin
Cartwright, 17-year old star stmrt-
stop of high school and junior le-
gio,l achievements here for the
past three years, signed a coil-
tract with the Tacoma Tigers of
the Western International (Class
B) league early this week.
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

Pioneer league or one of the Class
C or D leagues in California.
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.

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.

Injuries To Rice,
Heuer Dampen
Highelimber Hopes
High tlighclimber hopes for vie-
tory over Olympia tomorrow nigit
(Friday), when the two traditional
prep rivals tangle in their annual
football encounter under the
Olympia lights at eight o'clock,
were jolted rudely by injuries suf-
fered by a couple of key backfield
players during practice tlzis week.
/ rib injury to Bob Rice. play-
ing his third year at fullback, and
a hip injury to Bernie Heuer,
Sol)homore who had been operat-
ing at quarterback all week as
key figure m Shelton's passing
game, will at least seriously re-
duce the effectiveness of both
players if not keep them out of
the lineup entirely.
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.
