.'PRIVATE CHARLES D. GOODWIN (right) of Pasadena Texas
started conversation rolling when prominent baseball figures vis
ited Fort Hood station hospital (1. to r.): Zeke Handler of The
Sporting News Lee Ballanfant veteran National League umpire
Davey Williams New York Giant infielder PFC Milton Gonzales of
Benavides Texas and Private Auralo Muro of Fort Worth. Hand
ler Ballanfant and Williams brought movies of the 1952 World
Series and followed with a roundtable baseball discussion.
Williams Ballanfant
Big League Umpire Player
Visit Hospital With Pictures
(PIO) Patients at Fort Hood
station hospital received an inside
pitch on major league baseball this
week plus a look at motion pic
tures of the 1952 World Series.
On hand to narrate the film and
answer queries of baseball hungry
soldiers were Davey Williams New
York Giant infielder Lee Ballan
fant veteran National League um
pire and Zeke Handler of "The
Sporting News."
Phil Cavaretta manager of the
Chicago Cubs was forced to bypass
the visit because of an influenza
attack confining him to his wi
ter home in Dallas.
Williams hustling second base
man who teamed with A1 Dark to
lead the National League in double
plays last year was deluged with
questions—not too many about the
Giants but plenty concerning the
rival Brooklyn Dodgers.
WHAT ABOUT BROOKLYN?
To a man the patients wanted to
know Davey's opinion of Dodger
hurlers Billy Loes and Joe Black.
Umpire Wrong
Baseball players note: Um
pires occasionally DO make mis
takes.
This week a group of major
leaguers were late arriving for
an appearance at the Fort Hood
station hospital. Said Lee Bal
lanfant veteran National League
arbiter: "I thought we weren't
due at this 'base' until tomor-
The patients were also worried
about the collapse of Brooklyn hit
ting in the Series but during the
movies were quick to applaud the
fine defensive play of Dodger out
fielders.
However the lone New York fan
in the group PFC Bob Van Fecht-
man who strangely enough lives
in Brooklyn managed to swing the
conversation to Williams' team.
Van Fechtmann wondered what
Williams and Ballanfant thought of
sophomore pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm.
"There's no doubt he's the best
knuckleballer ever" enthused Bal
lanfant who begins his 19th year
qf big league strike-calling this
spring. "Many times last year the
catcher didn't get his hands on the
ball—it smacked me in the stomach
and on the legs."
In spite of constant needling
Williams Handler and Ballanfant
declined to make predictions for
the coming season much to the
chagrin of Brooklyn followers.

The visit to Fort Hood was the
eleventh made to military hospitals

Rod And Gun Club
(PIO)—Fort Hood rod and gun
clubbers heard an expert's dis
cussion on Texas predatory ani
mals Tuesday night from guest
speaker Mr. Harley Berg at the
club's monthly meeting.
Berg Texas game and fish com
mission representative from Waco
also had a few things to say about
the common skunk and the arm
adillo that he had picked up as a
veteran of the commission.
He outlined a brief set of charac
teristics about common predatory
animals and then pointed out
which were desirable from a
sportsman's viewpoint and which
should be eliminated because they
destroyed wild life.
However he told club members
that most were desirable because
they were vital to the balance of
nature.
He exonerated the armadillo
among others.
"They do nothing but good" he
related "This has been proved by
an extensive two-year test by us."
Contrary to popular opinion the
armadillo feeds mainly on insects
and provides some good eating
too the wild life expert pointed
out.
Berg also had a good explana
tion for habits of the skunk which
include walking down highways

at night.
He explained that the skunk
feeds largely on insects too and
the easiest way to grab them is to
stay where car lights attract large
numbers.
"That's the reason the skunk pre
fers the highway" he said.
Other guests included Mr. Floyd
Galy of the Temple Game com
mission office and Hubert Brooks
Waco representative.
GOOSE GREASE
FORT EUSTIS Va. OP)—Curiosity
killed a goose flying over this mil
itary base. Attracted by floodlights
the bird swooped down and struck
a 13200-volt power line.
