Y. 0. tourney.

Eddie is a 19-year-old righthander with an abundance of stuff, and most important of all, fine control. Gibson, who spun with success for Eastern District High School for three years, has vastly improved since graduating from the schoolboy ranks. He has all the eharac-teristics of a big leaguer by the manner in which he conducts himself on the mound. He is as cool as ice water under fire. One of his most effective serves is a change of pace delivered with his regular fast ball motion.

The ball appears to make its way up to the plate on crutches. It has become Eddie's real climax toss when he is in a jam. Gibson's twirling was chiefly responsible for Holy Trinity capturing the Northern Division Senior championship a year ago. In stiffer competition this campaign he is doing even better and expects to duplicate his title winning feat of 1949. His record for two seasons in the C.

He averages two hits per game, which gaves you a pretty good line on how effective he really is. A SECOND LOES? Bill Zonner, one of the right-handed pitchers of the Brooklyn Eagle All-Stars, originally started out as a first baseman with the Senecas in the Junior Division of the Kiwanis League at the age of 13. Because of his strong throwing arm he was also persuaded to pitch and was a natural from the outset.

If he keeps improving at the rate he has done the past three years, he will make the jump to the majors as fast as Billy Loes who preceded him on the All-Stars. Loes made the jump to the Dodgers in two years time. It was Pop Secol of the Ice Cream League who nominated Zonner as a candidate for the team back in June. It was down through Lenny Morris, who manages the Marl-boros, making a runaway of their division in Secol's loop. Bill has served as an assistant coach with the Marlboros at times because he was too good for the Ice Cream League.

However, he caught on with the Queens Alliance, where he has made his presence felt this season. The Zonner and Morris friendship got impetus at one of the Erasmus Hall High School tryouts conducted by Coach Austin Dugan. In 1949, Zonner helped hurl the Flying Dutchmen to the P. S. A.

"I am not convinced that the community fully understands what it means and what it takes to keep 15.000 youngsters off the streets by the medium of playing baseball with equipment supplied by the Foundation.

Goldberg made friends of a number of players of last year's Canadian team and they still correspond. The game did much to give amateur baseball in Montreal an infusion this season.

Goldie reports that the Canadians figure they have another team capable of taking Brooklyn's best into camp for the second year running. Sam Miller of Flatbush, who has done so much for sandlot baseball in Brooklyn, has cut his vacation short in order to take in the Sandlot World Series classic on Monday night. Some of the players Sam most admires have made the grade with the Brooklyn outfit this season. He and his friends will form a large rooting section for the locals.
