er Steve Ridsik for being 15 min
utes late one night last week.
The fine was the first imposed
by the usually 'mild mannered
Sawyer since he took over the
managership from Ben Chapman
in mid-summer of 1949. He has
been known to read the riot act
on a few occasions and tighten up
on club rules, but Jones will be
the first player to pay in cash.
It was unofficially reported that
the fine was the largest levied in
a big league training camp since
Miller Huggins tagged the late
Babe Ruth with a $5OO assessment
in the 1920'5. Fines in spring
camps are a big league rarity.
Lone NCAA Champ
Only Penn State wrestler ever
to win an NCAA crown- was
Howard "Red" Johnston, 165-
pound titlist in 1935.
