Allentown School
Gets Suspension
From Dist. PIAA
The PIAA, District 11 Com-
mittee at a meeting held in Tam-
aqua, Pa. suspended Allentown
High School from all competition
with PIAA memberschools for
two years.
The committee voted that Al-
lentown High had violated the
eligibility rule which states that
no pupil shall represent his school
in athletics if he has been in at-
tendance more than 8 semesters
beyond the eighth grade.
R. B. Stapleton, district chair-
man, said the Allentown High
School had the right to appeal
the vedict of the district commit-
tee to the State Board of Control.
Robert Haas, president of the
Allentown School Board, denoun-
ced the action of the committee
and charged that the case had
been “prejudiced before the meet-
ing.”
Allentown won this year’s state
championship by defeating Du-
quesne in cage tournaments.
An investigation also has been
started regarding the eligibility
of athletes at Bethlehem and
Hazelton High Schools.
Ostermuller Main
Prop of Pirates
Fred R. Ostermuller, pitcher for
the Pittsburgh Pirates, who both
hurls and hits left-handed, has
been a main prop of the Pirates’
hurling hill as the result of an
amazing comeback after being
sentenced to the minors 3 years
ago.
Now nearly 40 years of age, he
stands 5 feet, 11 inches, and hits
the seales at 175 pounds. He was
adjudged ‘washed up” when the
Dodgers gave him a ticket to Sy-
racuse on May 31, 1944, but the]
Pirates got busy and bought him
one day later. During the remain-
der of that season “Osty’” won 11
games and lost 7 for Pittsburgh,
and several of his defeats were
heartbreakers. He was inducted in
the Army in May of '45 and dis-
charged in August of the same
years, and his record for the sea-
son was 5 victories as against 4
defeats.
In 1946 he won 13 games while
losing 10, and pitched 16 complete
games out of 25 starts, including
2 shutouts.
Ostermuller has been pitching
professionally since starting with
Quincy in 1926.

Note, Would-Be Umpires!
Bill Klem Is Giving Advice
Gives Answer for Player
Who Talks of Fighting
Out of his years of experience,
chief of staff of National League
Umpires, Bill Klem, has drawn up
a set of tips on good umpiring.
His suggestions follow:
“Regardless of what happened
yesterday, when going on the field
through or close to the bench, al-
ways give the players the time of
day by saying, ‘How are you boys’
and keep on going.
“Remember you are umpiring
for the baseball only and it must
be done in a businesslike manner
in order to establish yourself.
“Be in stride on every pitch.
This erables you to have confi-
dence and get set to time and to
judge a play as well as to be
ahead of anything that may hap-
pen.
“When umpiring back of the
plate, after the third out, turn
quickly to the club taking field and
shout ‘All right, let's go,’ and just
as quickly take your position,
which is from 25 feet to 35 feet
back of the plate.
“Stay away from the huddle
when the manager is changing
players. When you think they've
had ample time to solve their
problem, command from your po-
sition, ‘All right, let’s go!’ By get-
ting even close to the huddle an
umpire lays himself open to sar-
casm.
“Never talk fight or use bad
language. No fighting umpire ever
established himself.
“The answer to a player talking
fight is ‘Are you a fighter, too? I
thought you were a ball player.’
“When convenient to do so, al-
ways look away from a player af-
ter calling him out. Should he turn
to argue, walk away. Also lo.k
away after calling a strike.
“Don't go to the bench when it
becomes necessary to order a play-
er or manager off. When you do
vou lay yourself open to heaps of
arguments. Command from your

position, and wait and wait until
ke goes
“Don’t let them gang you. Send
them away and until they go, say
nothing. If manager or captain is
among them, which is practicaliv
always the case, say, ‘T'll talk tc
you.” Explain to him and say ‘All
right, let’s go!’
“Walk away from arguments
and kesp on walking. If he, or
they follow, they ara guilty and it
is up to you to use your authority.
“Be very careful about calling
‘Time’ when you're a base umpire.
Once the pitcher is set it is best
to let the pitch go through. The
rules govern anything that might
happen. When you do call time,
be sure the plate umpire or the
pitcher sees you.
“Don’t run two or three steps
ut first base when a pitcher tries
to catch a runner off. Straddle the
toul line and when the ball comes
over, take just one step on fair
ground and croutch.
“The finest curled hair shoulli
always be used for a protector,
and shin guards should be extra
well padded.
“When a fair or foul hit ball is
ciose to the line, demonstrate very
quickly by pumping with arm and
the other umpire shculd also de-
note as quickly as possible what
he called it in a like manner.
Should the spot where it hit be
near you, point with finger and
shout, ‘That's a fair (or foul) ball’.
The reason for this demonstration
is to correct a player or anybody's
mind that it is or might be pre-
judiced.
plate and bases are white and ir
goil is damp and they become dis-
colored, call on the groundkeeper
to whiten them as often as necess-
ary. Pay strict attention to this,
especially in resuming play after
rain. You may think it O. K. be-
cause you are only a few feet aw-
ay, but spectators, who are a long
distance from it, appreciate this
act immensely. It is a ‘hazard’ for
an umpire to time and judge close
plays when the bags are nol
white.
“It has long since been proven
in a positive way that the best
way to judge a ball or strike is
{rom a croutch position between
the catcher and the batsman, with
a weave or an up and down move-
ment as the ball comes to the cai-
cher.
“Please be reminded that w=
have a Special and Strict rule per-
taining to any player, coacher or
manager coming from his position
| or from the bench to argue (or
{held up the game) with the Um-
| pire-in-Chief over a called ball or
| strike.”

League as follows: When the

Some call it dermatophytosis,
but most persons call it athlete's
foot.
Such a form of ringmorm af-
fects from 50 to 90 percent of
the population at some time dur-
ing their lives.
Frequently its presence is triv-
ial, and the patient is unaware of
the infection.
In other cases is assumes sev-
ere and disabling proportions.
In order to prevent athlete's
foot, one should keep the feet
clean and dry.
The condition is contagious and
the germ causing it may remain
alive for a long time in rubber
mats, wooden floors and articles
of wearing apparel.
Athlete's foot is usually picked |
lup in public places where the
bare feet are exposed — such as
swimming pools, gymnasiums and
shower baths.
Excessive sweating, heat and
friction add to the possibility of
infection. |
Some persons are more suscep- |
tible than others and there is a;
variance in reaction. |
Persons who have sweating feet |
should wear socks that can be
boiled and changed daily.
During warm weather, one|
should alternate wearing pairs of |
shoes so that each pair has ample |
time to air. {
Home treatment for athlete's |
foot sometimes aggravates the!
condition and adds to the irrita- |
tion.
