(July 8) 18-year-old Darwin Walkingshaw,
a Lethbridge junior baseball player, signed a contract with the Brooklyn
Dodgers and will report to the club's Vero Beach, Florida camp for spring
training next spring. He was discovered at an Alberta tryout camp and
was the second Lethbridge player to join the Dodgers. Joe Tufteland
signed two years ago and went 18-2 for the Dodger squad in the
Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri league.
Two young players attending a Brooklyn
baseball school at Edmonton were considered "likely prospects" for
professional ball. Don Lindeberg, chief instructor at
the Dodgers' school, said the two -- Don Stewart of Unity,
Saskatchewan, and Marshall Severyn from Wetaskiwin, Alberta --
might be invited to spring training in California.
