Baseball's high-priced bonus player is as often as not a disappointing flop. Two current examples: Pittsburgh's Pitcher Paul Pettit ($100,000), now laboring for his fourth minor-league club, the Hollywood (class AAA) Stars, and Cleveland's Pitcher Billy Joe Davidson (more than $100,000), who has yet to show much of anything in the Class B Tri-State League. In Brooklyn last week, Dodger fans were happily pointing to a less expensive ($22,000) exception: Righthander Billy Loes (rhymes with throws), a good-looking 22-year-old who did his schoolboy pitching right...
WORCESTER, May 24--Bob Ward had his control today; too much so, in fact. The Crimson's Number One pitcher was putting the ball over the plate, but the Holy Cross batters were knocking it right out again. Sloppy Harvard fielding added to the carnage, and the result was a 13 to 3 Holy Cross victory on Fitton Field here...

Last week, mixing a crackling fast...
...Dailey plays the part of Dean, with Joanne Dru as his patient wife. Dailey does justice to the role of the former Cardinal Pitcher, especially in his slaughter of the English language, so familiar to Dizzy's fans. Joanne Dru's portrayal of the film, understanding, educated wife is an excellent contrast to her child-like, over-confident, ignorant partner...
...Crimson's number one pitcher Bob Ward, will be starting this afternoon. Easily the top man on the local pitching staff, Ward set Northeastern down on three hits in his last workout here a week ago Wednesday. So far this year, though, he has been tested only briefly against the Purple's batters. If he has a good day, the Crimson's weak-hitting squad may be able to pull...
