Gor- mish was picked up by the Pitts- burgh Pirates scouting staff, Joe Brehany and Joe Mackey at the baseball school and tryout camp held last week at the Altoona Cricket field. During the tryout, Gormish fanned six of the nine batters to face him. He was the stellar pitch- er for the Spangler High school this spring, hurling a no-hit game against St. Francis Prep. He has recently been pitching for the St. Michael team in -the Johnstown City-County League. Standing six-feet three inches, Gormish is just 17 years of age and has another year of high school re- maining. He will leave shortly to join the Pirates’ Hornel, N. Y. team in the Pony League, returning in Septem- ber to finish his high school course. * ST. LOUIS CARDINALS TO HOLD TRYOUT CAMP The St. Louis Cardinals will hold a baseball school and tryout camp at the Point Stadium in Johnstown on Friday and Saturday, July 20 and 21. The tryouts will start at 10:3v a. m. and all boys 16 years of age or over who believe they have the makings of a ball player should be on hand at the Point Stadium to start working out. All that is necessary is to fur- nish your own baseball shoes and gloves. It is not absolutely neces- sary to have a baseball uniform, but those who do should take them along. If a boy is signed to a contract, and he lives outside Johnstown, the exptnse of transportation in at- tending the camp will be refunded to him. The Cardinals have assigned Roy Dissinger and Charles Kelchner, two of their most able scouts to su- pervise the Johnstown camp. seskeoskekok PITTSBURGH PIRATE PERSONALITIES NICHOLAS STRINCEVICH, pitcher—Born March 1st, 1916, in Gary, Ind., and still makes his home there.

AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER 722 Cresson Road EBENSBURG, PA. MRS. By Jack Sords SARA H | REY ONE OF THE NATIONS LEADING TENNIS PLAYERS FOR A DECADE. BACK IN THE LIMELIGHT BY HER VICTORY oVER PAULINE BETZ IN THE FINALS OF THE NATIONAL CLAY COURTS CHAMPIONSHIPS , SHE HAD BEEN oUT oF COMPETITION FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS defeats. Pittsburgh purchased his from Boston on May 7, 1941, for Lloyd Waner and a fat check, but Nick did not get going well im- mediately and on July 20th of the same year he was optioned to Mil- waukee jin the American Asso- ciation. After his recall from Milwaukee in 1942, and still unable to hit a winning stride, the big Serb was optioned out again on May 8, 1942, this time to the Toronto team in the International League. This op- tion was turned into an outright release on August 3rd of that year, when Nick became Toronto's prop- erty as one of four players given up by Pittsburgh in exchange for Frank Colman and Jack Hallett. “Strincy” started to click so im- pressively for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1943, that the Pirates were glad to buy him back in the fall of 1943, for a five-figure con- sideration under the privileges of a working agreement. Nick won 15 games and lost seven that year for Toronto and made the remark- ably low earned-run average of 2.47. For the Pirates last season he had the best year of his career, with 14 victories as against seven defeats and an earned-run aver- age of 3.08. Before losing his final game of the 1944 campaign, he won seven in a row, and the only Pittsburgh pitcher to win more games during the year was Rip Sewell. Players say he has as much stuff as any pitcher in baseball. Last Friday night Strincevich registered his ninth win this sea- son as he shut-out the Phillies 4 to 0 giving up but five hits as he singled in the fourth inning driving in two runs. At the rate he is going this year, he will be among the top hurlers in the National League. kkk ok SPORT PICKUPS Ossie Harris, Pittsburgh won a i0-round decision over Fritzie Ziv- ic last week in Fritzie’'s own Hickey Park. Willie Joyce, Negro from Gary, Ind., won a 12-round decision over light-weight Bobby Ruffin of As- toria, N. Y., last week at Madison Square Garden. It is predicted that Willie Joyce will be the coming lightweight champion if he is given a chance. Baseball's new high commission- er, Sen. A. (Happy) Chandler an- nounced that major league club owners had approved a contract which gives him the same unre- stricted power as the late Judge K. M. Landis. The contract calls for seven years at $50,000 annually. Chandler will accept no salary as baseball commissioner until he re- signs from the Senate. The consecutive hitting streak of Tommy Holmes, Boston Braves outfielder, was halted last Thurs- day, July 12 at 37 games by Henry Wyse, Chicago Cubs hurler. Holmes, whose last hitless day was June 3, failed to hit in four trips to the plate as Hank Wyse was hurling a three-hitter to gain his 11th victory. This mark of 37 consecutive hit- ting streak set a new modern Na- tional League record, wiping out Rogers Hornsby’s mark of 33 set in 1922, when he was with the Car- dinals. The major league high of 56 was set by Joe DiMaggio with the New York Yankees in 1941. Lt. Bert Shepard pitched the first four innings for Washington against Brooklyn in a War Relief game on July 9. At the end of four innings Washington was leading 3 to 2 and won the game 4 to 3. Shepard, was a fighter pilot who lost his right leg when shot down over Berlin. He has been acting coach of the Senators. There are four Barretts in the major leagues and none related. Francis (Red) Barrett is a Boston Red Sox relief pitcher, Charles (Red) Barrett pitches for the St. Louis Cards, Dick Barrett is on the Phils mound staff and Johnny is an outfielder for the Pirates. The Philadelphia Phils announc- ed that veteran 36-year-old Bill Lee, right-handed pitcher, had been sent to the Boston Braves, who claimed him on waiver. Horse racing followers of Hoop, Jr, in te South argue that the Kentucky Derby winner should be declared the champion of spring tracing. Hoop, Jr. won the Derby and was second in the Preakness. Polynesian won the Preakness, but wasn’t in either of the other two races. Pavot, after passing up the Derby and Preakness, won at Bel- mont. Hdkkkk COLVER WINS FIRST CYCLE TITLE Colver won the first half title in the Johnstown City-County League by defeating the Pavlicks team 10 to 2 in a playoff game last Sun- day afternoon. The two teams enede the regular schedule in a tie for the first place and Sunday's game decided the winner. Zip Zentner allowed but four hits to win his eighth game of the sea- son ggailist one defeat, Six of Zentner's wins were shutouts. Zentner and McHugh hammered out home runs in the play off game.
