It was truly inspiring. When the rodeo is held over Labor Day weekend in the fall, the same such enthusiastic response on the part of the general public, those assisting and the participants would be most appreciated.

FERGUSON HOT Dennis Ferguson was the big cog in the Pee Wee onslaught slamming out a home run and four doubles, Jack Darling was close behind in the hitting de- partment, collecting a double and 3 singles and stealing two bases. Pitchers Jim Brown and Paul McKnight worked equally well, each going 3 innings and allow- ing but one hit and striking out 5.

BANTAM SPREE The Exeter bantams scored in every inning to post their victory Monday. Pete Revington was the big gun, collecting a triple, two doubles, two singles and a walk in six trips to the plate. Rick Weber and Ron Grasdahl each added three singles to the winning cause.

Page 6 Times-Advocate, June 23, 1966 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Who's got the rookie? This time of the year rabid baseball fans be- gin to murmur, rookie, rookie, who's got the rookie. The rookie-of-the-year in the American League, that is. The 1966 season is now two months old and a few of the first year youngsters are beginning to stand out, The choice this year will certainly not be made easily. There are just too many good rookies in the junior circuit for anybody to make a runaway of this coveted award which last year went to Curt Ble- fary of Baltimore, As Washington manager Gil Hodges was remarking recently, "I believe the rea- son for the close race in the American loop this season is because of the many good young ball play- ers who have come into the league," Hodges was quick to mention California's Rick Reichardt. This young fellow is 6-3 and weighs 215 pounds and is as quick as a cat. But with all his credentials, Reich- ardt is not going to walk off with the honor for there are too many pushing him. Each club has one good candidate, some more than one. In Baltimore, Hank Bauer has three very capable rookies in second baseman Dave Robinson, catcher Andy Etchabarren and pitcher Eddie Watt. Johnson was good enough to unseat the veteran Jerry Adair at second base. Etchabarren, of course, is one of the fine surprises of the league and one who deserves much credit for filling the gap left by the sudden illness of regular catcher Dick Brown. Bauer wasn't certain during spring training that Andy was ready for the rigors of big league pitching and every-day catching with a contending ball club. But he proved equal to the task and has been an important cog in the awesome Baltimore at- tack which has kept the club in first place. Boston Red Sox have a young first baseman they are very proud of. George "Great" Scott, a powerfully built young man is currently tied with Frank Robinson of Baltimore with 18 home runs, the top production in the league. Scott, whose power carried him from Pittsfield of the Eastern league has hit some of the longest home runs seen in the league in many years. His teammate, Joe Foy, a third baseman, also comes highly recommended and despite a late start seems to be in the running for rookie consideration. Jackie Warner of the Angels is another. Tommy Agee of the Chicago White Sox is developing into a truly outstanding ball player after encountering sev- eral serious injuries which slowed his progress in the minors. Cleveland can stake a claim or two to rookie honors also with pitchers Tommy Kelley and Steve Hargan living up to all expectations after good mi- nor league records. Or how about New York's rookie left-hander, Fritz Peterson, who has chalked up five victories in the first two months of play. Outfielder Roy White, also of the Yanks, who made the transi- tion from infield to outfield without missing a step is working himself into a regular job under manager Ralph Houk. Kansas City has Ken Dobson, a pitcher, while Washington likes what it has seen of catcher Paul Casanova since recalling him from the Eastern league. How would an all-rookie American league team look on paper? Well, here is a start. Catcher, Andy Etchabarren, Baltimore; first base, George Scott, Boston; second base, Dave Johnson, Baltimore; shortstop, Lee Elia, Chicago; third base, Joe Foy, Boston; left field, Roy White, Yanks or Tommy Agee, Chicago; centre field, Rick Reichardt, California; right field, Jack Warner, California. One of these could be the 1966 selection to join an elite group of winners over the years. Here are the rookie-of-the-year winners for the past 17 years — 1949, Roy Sievers, St. Louis; 1950, Walt Dropo, Boston; 1951, Gil McDougald, New York; 1952, Harry Byrd, Philadelphia; 1953, Harvey Kuenn, Detroit; 1954, Bob Grim, New York; 1955, Herb Score, Cleveland; 1956, Luis Aparicio, Chicago; 1957, Tony Kubek, New York; 1958, Albie Pearson, Wash- ington; 1959, Bob Allison, Washington; 1960, Roy Hansen, Baltimore; 1961, Don Schwall, Boston; 1962, Tom Tresh, New York; 1963, Gary Peters, Chicago; 1964, Tony Oliva, Minnesota; 1965, Curt Blefary, Baltimore. ROBINSONS LEAD BALTIMORE The Robinson boys, Frank and Brooks, are two of the main reasons for the fast clip set by the American League leading Baltimore Orioles. Brooks leads in three individual batting de- partments and Frank is best in two others. The former has driven in the most runs, 53, delivered the most base hits, 75, and leads in doubles with 17. Frank is tied with George Scott of Boston with 18 round-trippers and has scored 50 times to lead in that category.
