A. A. IS PROUD OF ITS RECORD MANY PLAYER SHIFTS IN YEAR
® »
Indianapolis
HE usual pre-season optimism prevails in eight cities as the American Association prepares to open its 38th season on the Eastern front Thursday. . . . Organized in 1902, the charter members still are in there pitching and naturally the A. A. is proud of this record and the distinction of being the most staple minor league in the country. : Three new managers will doff their caps to the fans on opening day, and another will operate in a new role. . . . The freshman pilots are Mickey Heath, Milwaukee; Tom Sheehan, Minneapolis, and Miles Thomas of Toledo. Then down at Louisville, Ownie Bush, Minneapolis’ former skipper, takes over the Colonels as part owner, president and manager. Holdovers are Ray Schalk, Indianapolis; Bill Meyer, Kansas City; Foster Ganzel, St. Paul, and Burt Shotton, Columbus. . . . The executive dean is Mike Kelley, Minneapolis president, who was St. Paul's manager the year the league organized.
Cup Award Method Changed
(GEORGE M. TRAUTMAN has changed the method of awarding the President’s Cup for opening day attendance. . . . Instead of the trophy going to the city showing the largest turnstile count, it will go to the one showing the greatest proportion of its citizens in the park. . . . This system will give the smaller cities an equal chance at the cup. George Johnson, starting his 26th season in the league, is dean of the umpires. . . . The others are Bill Guthrie, Tom Dunn, Paul
Genshlea, John Conlan, Hal Weafer, Ernie Stewart, Howard McLarry, Claude Bond and Al Harvin. » » = = » N unusual number of players who toiled in the American Association last season have been shifted to different teams this year. . . . Minneapolis has Third Baseman Buck Fausett and Shortstop Jimmy Pofahl, who were with Indianapolis. Louisville, in addition to Manager Bush, has Pitchers Charlie Wagner and Lefty Lefebvre and Outfielder Stanley Spence, all from Minneapolis. . . . Columbus has Outfielder Coaker Triplett, who played for the Millers. Louisville has Infielder Vince Sherlock, last year with Indianapolis; Infielder Tommy Irwin, last year with Milwaukee, and CatcherOutfielder Bid Breese, last year with Kansas City. Indianapolis has Infielder Justin Stein, last season with Columbus. . . . Milwaukee has Infielder Bobby Mattick, last year with Indianapolis.
They Move ’Em Around
oes A. A. shifts sent John Sturm, Louisville, to Kansas City, and Pitcher Tom Reis, Milwaukee, also to the Blue. . . . St. Paul has Third Baseman Gil English, who was with Kansas City. Minneapolis has Infielder Lin Storti and Pitcher Joe Gonzales, who were with Milwaukee. Harry Davis, Kansas City’s 1938 first sacker, was transferred to Columbus, but was sold out of the league when the Red Birds obtained Joe Mack from the Cincy Reds. Toledo did not participate in the intra-league shifting wave. = = = = = = River Downs horse track, Cincinnati, is to forego a spring or sumprisr meeting. . . . Latonia dates are June 29 through July 29, six days a week.

Joe Williams—
NEW YORK, April 10.—Putting one little word after another. . . . Racing Commissioner John Sloan tells us pari-mutuel racing in New Jersey can’t miss this summer. . . . Tom Yawkey is around town whispering to intimates that the Red Sox will beat out the Yankees.
Our favorite National League scout warns us to lay off the Cincinnati Reds and insists they are highly overrated. . . . “With everytaing clicking for them last year they won only 82 games which wouldn't be enough to get them in the first division in the American League. Derringer, Lombardi and McCormick had exceptional years and when the heat was on Manager McKechnie was lucky to come up with a minor league infielder, Richardson, who hit 100 points more for the Reds than his average in the bushes. Either the Giants or the Pirates would have won with that kind of break. If Grissom stays in shape he will improve the club, but it doesn’t follow that Derringer, Lombardi and McCormick can duplicate their ’38 performances. Besides there is no evideiice that the vital second base weakness has been improved and the Reds were last in double plays last season.” From Louisville, Buck Weaver clarions New Yorkers will get a look at the next lightweight champion when Sammy Angott, a local, meets Aldo Spoldi at the Hippodrome this week. . . .
Princeton Shuns Basketball
WE saw so many veils in the Easter Parade yesterday we thought the mosquitos had arrived ahead of time. . . . Basketball goes big in the large arenas but its a flop in the college halls. . . . Even wrestling outdrew the cage sport at Princeton this year... . W. P, who writes he is a reader of this column, “and maybe the only one,” demands to know why Harry Ashworth of Akron isn’t named among the possible successors to Lou Gehrig. . . . Hes a product of New York sandlots and hit .323 last year. . . . “What's a fellow have to do to gain recognition, be a kin of Landis?” grumbles the correspondent. Pitt and Syracuse never got together on the gridiron in past years because the Panthers were too strong. . . . They are dickering for 1940 but now Syracuse may be too strong. . . . To Vic Decker of Station WHBC: No, we aren't the J. W. who played football with Canton Bulldogs in 22 and "23. . . . We quit the game when Pudge Heffelfinger started to play. . .. We realized then the game had got to be too sissified for us. Writes E. B. Newberry: “So Jim Farley and Clark Griffith say that wasn't a wild pitch Chesoro made which cost the Highlanders the 1504 flag? Well, they are nuts. I was at the game, and saw Kleinow jump at least two feet in the air with his glove hand stretched over his left shoulder, missing the pitch by several inches as Criger came Saneing in from third wase, waving his hands and shouting with glee.”
Dub Is Eighth Among Eight
PES WILLIAM CARNEY thinks Popeye Woods is the best middleweight in the business and maybe he is. -. . . The spinhch king looked impressive in putting young Paul Maloney away the other night. . . . Did you notice that an oat muncher named Dub finished eighth in an eight-horse race at Bowie last week? . . . We went to see “The Philadelphia Story” the other night and were disappointed not to find Connie Mack in it. Some notes on the Kentucky Derby winter book by Shamus Dobkin of Chicago: “El Chico continues to be heavily played at 6 to 1. Technician at 7 to 1 is best played horse in the book. Challedon down to 8 to 1, due to heavy support from Eastern players. Movie colony has backed Porter's Mite from 30 to 1 down to 15 to 1. Dark horse stabbers are playing around with Golden Clown, 75 to 1; Timefu, 100 to 1; Silent Witness, 40 to 1, and Buffalo Bill, 100 to 1. The latter has worked fastest mile of all Derby horses in training. Other winter books have cut Our Mat to 20 to 1, but Dubkin still lists him at 40 to 1. Regards him as nothing mcre than a sparring partner for El Chico in same stable.”
Ex-Steel Worker Fears And Loves Auto Racing
“Racing cars scare me stiff, but
I love it.” Rather an unusual statement for a race driver, but Duke Nalon, 200pound ex-steel worker, admits that he is plenty scared when they go parrelling into those Indianapolis Motor Speedway turns hub to hub. “But the thrill is worth it,” he
says. Nalon finished his apprenticeship here last year when he drove 450 miles of the big race and wound up in 1ith position. This year he will ke behind the wheel of a car entered in the 500-mile by Murrell Bolanger of Crown Point, Ind. Two years ago Duke took time out from his work in an Indiana Harbor steel mill to come to Indianapolis to work in the pits. Now he is out of the steel mills for good. Be is Eastern 'dirt track
champion and spends much of his time piloting the midget cars. The 6-foot Chicago driver got his first taste of speed when as a small boy his father took him to see his first automobile race. “Clayton,” his dad asked, “how would you like to be a racing driver?” “Better than anything, Dad, and that’s what I'm going to be when I grow up.” He made friends of some of the drivers at Roby, Ind. and they gave him a chance to help around the pits. It was three years before he drove one of the racing cars and a year after that before he entered his first race. ° “I got a Kick out of it,” he says. “A big kick because I won the race. It was only 50 miles but I'd have

Russell Stonehouse thinks a tournament pro’s life is anything but a bed of roses. He said he would rather teach the game and play for fun.
Life Is No Fun
Competing Pros.
It may sound like a soft touch traveling around the country playing golf and reading about yourself
house today gave a convincing argument on the fallacy of this belief. From 1928 through 1935 Mr. Stonehouse, who now is the pro at the South Grove golf course, toured the winter circuit and competed in national meets in other parts of the country. To hear him describe the life of a tournament pro makes it sound more fatiguing than ditch digging and more nervewracking than surgery. Every fairway hopeful has heard of concentration and the part it plays in the game, but few club players, he said, realize that this process actually starts the night before with the boys who match shots for a living. He has seen them all, Tommy Armour, Harold McSpaden, Denny Shute, Ralph Guldahl and the rest of this nomadic legion;ispend sleepless nights before the tournament orens. If they get off to an early lead or shoot near the top, they continue to toss and roll or have nightmares that consist of an endless series of rimmed two-foot putts.
Writes Himself Memos
“You could never guess from seeing them make their first drives how nervous they are in those minutes before they step up to the tee,” he said. “In some the tension is so great it produces sensations of
nausea. Others have to pace around.” Pulling from his desk crumpled pieces of stationery from hotels in all parts of the country, Mr. Stonehouse showed how he spent his time on tournament eve. Scrawled across each one were things he wanted to remember, and they were reminders that went back to fundamentals of the game. At South Bend he wrote: “Hang on firm with left hand. Pull through hard with firm left wrist. Keep head down and eye on ball. Stroke putts.” From Louisville: “Swing through the ball on all shots. Firm on all mashie shots. Keep firm grip with left hand at all times. Play slow. WALK SLOW.” The rest of them are in that same tone. Some are in more detail than others. Always he wadded these notes in his pocket and read them just a few minutes before he was required to tee off.
He Prefers Teaching
He explained why some players like Gene Sarazen and Harry Cooper seem to draw antagonistic galleries. “It’s because they concentrate so much during each round that they actually don’t hear when they are spoken to. They don’t even recognize their fellow players. This spell lasts until they return to the clubhouse, and if you could see them there you would think them to be the most friendly sort of persons. “There are exceptions to this rule. Walter Hagen and Chick Evans could talk with people in the gallery about golf or any other subject and then step up to their next shots and maintain perfect concentration.” Even if this game is at its best, it still is hard, he declared. Sometimes these pros find a long, sweet drive has reposed on a. divot scar. A putt that has been perfectly lined may fail to drop, and that is the supreme tragedy since the boys call these the “money shots.” High winds may work crazy magic on their shots and sometimes it suddenly starts to rain as if in answer to the prayers of dying men oh a desert. Considering all this, Mr. Stonekouse doesn’t think the prizes are particularly large. : “My advice to spectators following contestants,” he declared, “is not to speak to a player unless you are first spoken to. Then make your answer as short as possible, because he has a lot to think about. “As for myself, I would rather teach the game and play my rounds for fun.”

Times Special CHATTANOOGA, April 10.—Having extended their spring training exhibition record to 11 victories in 168 starts, the Indianapolis Indians hoped to roll over the Chattanooga Lookouts again today and increase the club’s prestige before the American Association opener at Thursday. John Niggeling, the veteran knuckleball righthander, was, slated to start on the Tribe firing line against Kiki Cuyler’s Southern Leaguers this afternoon. The showing he turns in likely

but it is believed that Manager
dishes out airtight ball today. The Chattanooga series calls for three games and the Indians put the first one in the sack yesterday, 11 to 7. Logan blanked the Lookouts for four innings, weakened in the fifth and sixth and was taken out in the seventh. He was touched for 13 hits.
Riddle Loses Control
Elmer Riddle gave up only one hit in 2 2-3 innings, but issued five walks, much to the dismay of Chief Schalk. Dee Moore caught the full game for the Hoosiers and blew himself to two triples and a single, batted in three runs and tallied three. It was a large afternoon for the new backstop. Jesse Newman, playing second base, also pounded out a triple and single and slugged home three runs. The Redskins collected 13 blows to 14 for the IL.ookouts, played errorless ball and pleased their boss by bunching their safeties. Don Lang was credited with an unusual feat in the sixth when he hit a fly to deep center and before Manager Cuyler got the ball back to the infield two runners scored, Logan from third and Myron McCormick from second. McCormick displayed last year’s speed on the
paths.
Gorchakoff Is To Play Here
Tennis Star of Decade Ago With Pro Troupe.
Ben Gorchakoff, a favorite tennis star of a decade ago with Indianapolis fans, will appear here with the Don Budge-Fred Perry troupe at the Naval Armory, April 21, it has been announced by Frederick W. Hunt, president of the Central Indiana Tennis Association, Gorchakoff will oppose Welter Senior in the opening match. Ben came here for Indianapolis’ last major tennis tournament, the national clay court event at the Woodstock Country Club in 1929. As a representative of Occidental College of Los Angeles, he listed among his victims in that tournament Ellsworth Vines, whom he defeated 6-4, 6-3, 2-6 and 8-6. He then lost to Berkeley Bell in five sets. In recent years Gorchakoff has turned his attentions to teaching the game and for a time was tennis istructer at the Ambasader Hotel in Los Angeles.

With the Indianapolis events of the women’s senior national swimming and diving championships less than two weeks off (April 23), two youthful mermaids from Nashwauk, Minn.,, have sent in their entries for the 440-yard freesty:e. The entries received were those of Betty and Lorraine Bemis. Betty, age 16, was 1938 national junior A. A.

Looks for Dogfight
But it is a different story in the National League, where Doyle has grouped three clubs for a dogfight. He thinks the champion Chicago
at 2-1. Cincinnati is his second choice at 11-5, and New York third at 12-5. He warned, however, that these odds probably will not be final. “After all it is the public that makes the price, and the betting in the next 10 days may cause several shifts in the National League,” he said, “but I don’t look for any change in the Yankee’s price.” Doyle's odds are the result of his personal observation of the team, opinions of writers and other base=ball men, consideration of how they finished the previous season, and application of his own mathematical
baseball odds, he has made but one terrific error.
Boston Braves. ‘Lot of Bunk’
Discussing this year’s American League race, Doyle discounted the fact that the pennant never had been won four times straight. “That's a lot of bunk,” he said. “The Giants did it in the National League in the ’'20’s, and the Yanks have a better club than McGraw had. Unless they run into a siege of injuries, they shouldn't have a lot of trouble.”
