...Retired American League Umpire Emmet ("Red") Ormsby, 62, was understandably surprised to read in James T. (Studs Lonigan) Farrel's book, My Baseball Diary, that "Red Ormsby was found broke and dead in a cheap hotel." Not only is Red's health good, but he has been thriving for years.

Ed Wadsworth, Fred Vinton and John Davis will move up to the sixth, seventh and eighth positions, while Wally Stimson will fill the ninth spot if Poletti is unable to play. Vinton topped Davis by one point in a trial match yesterday to take over eighth position...
...Crimson lineup will have captain Larry Sears at first singles. Sears looked good against Army and should have little difficulty with his Tech opponent. Following Sears at second through ninth singles will be Charlie Hamm, Gerry Emmet, Henry Cortesi, Pete Lund, Charlie Poletti, Ed Wadsworth, John Davis, and Fred Vinton...
