Probable starter for the Crimson will be Ken Rossano, a sophomore who has developed rapidly for Coach Stuffy McInnis this spring. His catcher will be George MacDonald, while around the infield McInnis will use George Anderson at first. Bob German at second, Ed Krinsky at shortstop, and either Jim Rahal or Ray Maesaka at third. The outfield will include Bill Cleary in center, Don Butters in right, and either Bill Chauncey or Captain Dick Scheer in left...
...Blower. Nearly half a million Britons traveled through the misty morning to be on hand. For all the royalty and high fashion, the day, as always, belonged to the cockney, the costermonger and the gypsy, swarming over the infield. Red-faced north-country farmers and pale London clerks elbowed up to canvas stalls to buy jellied eels and winkles. Touts sidled up to them, peddling inside dope.

Neurotic Horse? Far across the rolling infield 22 thoroughbreds nudged the starting tapes, and they were off. Uphill to the mile post, favored Rowston Manor began to outpace the early leaders.

Had it not been for his two bases on balls and the three-Crusader errors, the entire Crimson team might just as well have remained in its canvas-covered dugout and prayed for rain, for nine of them swung at third strikes and two others looked at them...
Perry's only "bad" inning was the ninth, when he was supported by an infield as jittery as he. Bill Cleary, the first batter, grounded to the shortstop, Don Prohovich, who was unable to field it cleanly. It went as an error. Ned Felton, batting for Don Butters, forced Cleary at second, and after George Anderson looked at a third strike, George MacDonald ended it all with a skow roller down the third baseline, which third baseman Tom Yasenki charged and flipped underhand to first to nip him by a step...
