    Shorty Piper, well-known Warsaw young man, former high school basketball athlete and baseball catcher for the Warsaw Merchants, is being given a tryout this week with the Toledo Mud Hens of the American Association. Shorty, who between times drives a Wayne Township school bus and helps operate the Winona entrance filling station, is a dandy receiver and has a strong throwing arm. Local fans hope he makes good. He may be farmed out to some minor league for seasoning.
