Joel Frelin and Ernie Frengel, former Shippensburg Area high school and American Legion pitchers, have repeated a pattern that has stood since boyhood days by signing up for a baseball tryout with the Philadelphia Athletics together.
Both boys are presently in the A's training camp at Savannah, Ga., being looked over the top scouts of that club. If they are signed up, both expect to report to a farm club at Hopikinville, Ky.
The two boys are glad to be together in the training camp, because they have been friends since they met in childhood on the baseball fields around Shippensburg.
Mrs. Myrtle Frengel, 63 East King st., Shippensburg, received a letter from Ernie describing conditions in the camp. Reporting that the temperature was in the 90's the day the pair arrived, he states:
"We live in a real nice hotel, right on the ocean, and have a television set in our room. Joel and I live in a room together, with twin beds, The first day we got here they made us run for about an hour, and that is all we did the first day.
"This place is really beautiful down here, with all the flowers and palm trees. We don't have to be in bed at any special time. We have to be in at the baseball field at 9:30 in the morning. Well, I am going to do my best down here."
