For Coach Deane Dorwin. it was "a tough break'' to see his charges hit in fine form only to fail in the pinches and allow an outhit aggregation to down them in the final stages. But two of the locals went hitless, Koeneraan leading In the hitting with a single and triple. Zimmerman went the route on the mound, allowing nine hits. The Jackets play their final tilt of the season at Portland this as-; ternoon, meeting the Panthers on the southern diamond.

I refer to the champion — that stalwart in cast iron pants and waistcoat who assigned himself as protector of his lady fair, and when she was threatened rode out to joust with the enemy. I know it is a far cry from fair ladies to tobacco chewing, turkey-necked baseball players, and that they do net- have- very much in common. But they do have tTiis in common —the ladies couldn't fight a lick

and neither can the players. As I have said before basebalers are the worst fighters of all ■ athletes. The latest proof of this was offered in St. Louis two days i ago when an acre of Giants ami ; ' Cardinals fought for ten minutes and inflicted but one wound. This , I was a very inferior black eye to, Don Gutteridge, who happened to : Ibe the smallest man on the field. I The same number of mice, wear-), ing 16-ounce gloves, and fighting' for the same length of time. Would ' have much mofe damage to show ' for their efforts. Just why basei ball players are so inept with their | firsts is not known. Most of them ' are big enough and dumb enough, heaven knows, to fight. Maybe I they don't know how to bundle | i up their fists, any more than girls ' do, and tuck their thumbs inside.! Maybe they wear themselves out I yelling how tough they are. May-' be tickers beat but 47 times to' , the minute. But whatever the cause, they ' couldn't fight their way out of a • solarium with a crowbar in either 1 hand so I earnestly urge that each | i major league club hire itself an I official bouncer —an honest to | goodness tough gent who, when I trouble breaks out, will walk out I I and protect the gentle tabbies of I ' the dugout from harm. If I were a club owner I would !not delay in hiring such a champion for my team. Because there ,is no telling when, through some ' mistake a really tough ballplayer j i will find his way into the majors. | I And when he does —unless there I is someone on hand to protect the 1 ! other players—his power will be , immense. Can you imagine what • the St. Louis Cards, say, would do , if, when they started a fight, some I player on the opposing team quietj ly walked out and started actually hitting tern on the chin? That Dean man wouldn't get back until I the 1940 season. Perhaps it's a bit sadistic on my " part, but U would like to see such ’ a perso nas Tony (nightstick) GalI ento, the Newark heavyweight-bar-I tender, walk into the middld of a

, group of truculent baseball players and challenge the field. Bei ing alone, the field probably would ( accept his bid. and charge him. I can see the light of glee in roly- ; poly Tony’s little Nero-like eyes as he et the first left hook fly. i Given a corner to stand in, so i that he could not be made the vicI tim of the flank attack that is so ' popular with baseball players, i Tony, or any other half a dozen fighters I could name, would be an even money bet to like the en- | tire first divisions of both major . leagues in one afternoon. If the cluboWners don't adopt I iny suggestion of official bouncers. I think the least they could do | would be to buy their players long , wigs.

May 21 U.R) The • famed spirit of the gashouse gang] sagged to new depths today aft r j the havoc Bill Terry's usually l docile Giants wrought at Sports-1 man's park the past two days. "Dandy Dick" Bartell, bantam i rooster shortstop of the Giants. J struck the lethal blow which broke ; the Cardinals' back in yesterday's: hammer and tonge battle. The , 150-pound New York infielder | blasted a home run off relief pitcher Lon Warneke with the [ bases loaded and two out to give , the Giants a ninth inning triumph I 7-4. j After Wednesday's free-for-all, fight both clubs were out for blood In the deciding game of the three-} game series. The storm gathered early when Umpire George Barr i chased Frankie Frisch. Cards’ j manager, out of the park. The , players were snapping at each i other all afternoon. Once the Cards, led by Dizzy Dean, charged . Umpire-in-chief Dolly Stark, claiming Freddie Fitzsimmons had coin-1 mitted a balk Bartell's blow brought the > Giants victory from the very brink 1 of defeat. The score was tied 2-2 1 in the eighth when the Giants forged ahead, 3-2, on Bartell's! triple and Joe Moore's outfield fly. Then the Cards went ahead. 4-3. on Brown's single, a walk to Terry Moore and Joe Medwick’s triple. In the ninth Ott was an easy i out McCarthy was hit by a | pitched ball. Mancuso was safe ■ at first when Brown booted his j roller. Pinch-hitter Danning lined out. A wild pitch moved the two ! runners to third and second.'
