Stephen David Cohen is a youngster with a memorable past, an exciting present, and a promising future. Steve, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cohen, will be only 16 on October 20; however, his name is not unfamiliar to all Vancouver high school sports enthusiasts. Steve's claim to fame is as a baseball pitcher, and his brilliant "chuckin' " has brought him a great deal of publicity in the past six years.
Steve started in Little League, where J*e played for three years; she pitched another three years of Babe Ruth ball,while playing for Kitsilano High School in Grade 8 and Prince of Wales High school last year. In both
STEPHEN COHEN
Steve entered it, he started winning ball games, and is now one of the top pitchers, with a 4-1 mark. The papers have referred to Steve as "the IS-year-old sensation" or the boy who "continues to burn up the Industrial League."
Steve's assortment of pitches (includes a blazing fastball (clocked at 63 mph when he was only 12 years old), a sweeping ^urve (which Steve claims is his best pitch), a drop, and a change-up. His biggest thrill was liis ffirst complete game in the In-
years, he helped his team to Van- ^ustrial League, which he w^^ innv^r TntPr-H,Vh rhamnion- ^y a score of 4-0. Apart from

Steve has pi1;cbed about ten of them, including a perfect game. One of Steve's no-hitters was pitched in a Babe Ruth final in Victoria, wJiere he struck out 18 batters in seven innings. : Even more interesting is Steve's present. A dark-haired, 160-pound "A" student who stands 5'8", Stevie went to register for Connie Mack League a few months ago, but learned he was too young to play in the league. Undaunted, he turned toward Industrial League, the highest non-professional division in the city, since there were no specified age limit in this class.
He joined Western Bridge of the IL on June 27, and became the youngest player ever in the league. Although the league had been in progress a month before

pitching, he is a 12-handicap golfer, ajid enjoys skiing and basketball.
Steve's plans for the future may very well re&t in the contents of a letter he received a short time ago. The letter was from the New York Yankees, telling Steve that they were in-erested in him, and that they would be scouting him this summer. The scouts are in town now; they have caught several glimpses of Steve, and are pleased with what they have seen. However, no official transaction may be made until Steve graduates from high school. Ideally, Steve would like to play pro ball, while picking up a university education in the off-season.
Why is Steve swinging a bat in the above picture? I forgot to mention that Steve is also a top hitter, leading his Babe Ruth League with a .435 average.
Much has been omitted in the story of Stephen Cohen, but be sure to remember the name, for you will hear it many times in the near future!
