Thursday, September 10, -193 G Hikers Find Paradise Here; Few Places Match Scenic Beauty .Students interested in outdoor rec reation and hiking have splendid op portunities to take advantage of nu merous mountains and trails which lie .within a! few miles of State College. . Probably, the most popular hike is to Shingletown Gap, only four miles south of town. It is here that the res ervoir on which State College relies located. Excellent views of State Col lege lying in the Nittany valley can the gap. Three miles beyond Shingletown is Bald Top, a treeless steep mountain 2,300 feet in height. From its peak a view of many miles of mountains and country is afforded. It can also be reached from Boalsburg, which i 3 fivo miles south of State College. . To the west of Shingletown Gap is Musser’s Gap. From this gap, a trail leads between the first and second mountains to Shingletown.' The gap can also be reached- by following the top of the first mountain. One of the more interesting and lopger hikes is to Bear Meadows, a swampy region in the valley of the fourth ridge of mountains south ‘.of State College. Here are found many rare plants and animals. The Meadows Boston Bees Sign Ford, Lion Hurler Slate Pilcher Joined Club Last Month; Will Register Late at College ■ Bill Ford may Have pitched only two complete games for the Nittany Lion nine last spring, but he showed enough stuff to land a big league job with the Boston Bees during the summer,. Ford joined the-Bees around the middle of August and. expects to he with them until the cntl of the sea son, September 28. A McKeesport, Pennsylvania, product, he will be a late registrant here this month in the junibr class. "When interviewed in Pittsburgh re cently when his teammates were dropping three to the Pirates in be tween pinning back the ears of 'the Cards and Giants, .Ford said that he expected to return to college for only .a single semester. He is to return to the Bees in February for the peren nial training trip to the southland. "An opportunity only coines once,” ho said, "and I figure I may as well make the” best of it.” When asked about the life/of a big 'league -ball ' player, he said, "It’s a great life. lam well satisfied.” • He expects to sec some real action along the latter pavt of the month. At present he is.ofcupying the.bench to learn as much as he can from ob servation and the wise sayings of Old- Bill Mckechnic, widely known- man ager of the team. After talking to Ford, the writer retired to a box and proceeded to watch Bill pitch to the Boston players in batting practice. He appeared to have a lot on the ball. The Bees had trouble hitting him the way they like to before the game, in fact, it kind of provoked them until he let up and let Wally Berger drive a few, to the wall. Bill is a husky lad well over six feet and 200 pounds and a better hit ter than most hurlers. Last spring «ho spent much of his time on the •Lion bench, while Frank Smith, Ben Simoncelli, and John Boho did most of the flinging. Always possessing a fast ball and a good curve, he was at times handicapped by streaks of wildness. Apparently this was the reason that Coach Bedenk decorated the bench with him. The announcement of his contract to the Bees came as a surprise to most Lion fans who had understood that Ford was the property of the New York Yankees. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said in August that Ford’s signing was due to the efforts of certain men that have been interested in his pitching prowess for a number of years. He has taken part in over CO. sandlot team games around Pittsburgh in the past few years. In the 1850’s, New York banks made exchanges of checks between themselves only once a week; those familiar with the fine art of check ‘kiting’ , can imagine what could be done under such a system.

Each is a prominent Phila delphia or New Jersey heavyweight, and each outweighed Richter by more than the customary margin of a few pounds. Indications arc that Richter has added a bit of dynamite to his boxing skill. Always a clever blocker and jabber plus the ability to roll punches as well; as taking it, Richter will find an added' punch very desirable in turning back the thrust of Tiny Jim Brown of Syracuse when the latter attempts to dislodge him from his throne next March.
