Today’s Sport Parade * By Haney M .Lerner* ♦- . — ■.4 New York. Aug I?.- UP> Armed with a search warrant and the latest publicity handout from the Chamber of Commerce at Ht. Augustine. Fla. we are leading a poaeee of old folk* Into Yankee stadium thi* afternoon In quest of the fountain of youth We know It I* there. Tucked away under the stand* or tn the hull pen I* the magic spring of eternal youth that Ponce De Leun thought was somewhere around Ht. Augustine. And how do we know that? Because that old gaffer Ted Lyon* I* In town with the Chicago White Hol. looking half hl* age and pitching like a kid of 21. Lyona Near* 40 The old gentleman la going to be 4n year* old on Dec 2*. and It's even money that he will celebrate hl* *oth birthday by pitching a shutout In Comlskey park. All American league clubs, and especially lhe New York Yankees, have rei ondied themselves to batting against him forever. The way Lyon* has cooled off the Yankee* tn thia aeries ha* lieen a caution They had won ata straight game*, had juat beaten the great Bob Feller and were roaring down the atretrh toward the American league pennant when the While Hoi came to town Grand pa Lyons put the Ice pack on the Yankee* quick laying hi* ear trumpet dowh on the bench and tucking hi* beard Into hi* belt, he went out and beat them 1 to 0. giving only three stingy hit*. It'* Hl* Savvy Hitting In the grandatand. It'* hard to figure what the old guy'* got that make* him one of the moat effective *pol pitcher* in haseball Hl* speed I* ail gone and these day* he work* only one day a week. Hl* slow curve look* a* tall a* a balloon when It aweepa up to the plate A few season* ago he began developing a knuckle ball, but that'* not hla atrong point. It'* hl* savvy hi* ability to throw to every hitter* weakness that has kept him In the big league* year* after other men hl* age have folded their glove* and ailently stolen away. Name almoat any great American league hitter of lhe last 17 year* and Lyons can tell you all about him He h.s pitched to Ruth. Menael. Gehrig. Hlmmon*. Foil. INMaggio. Speaker. Cobb, Hellmann. . Veach, Dickey. Manusb and Laiterl. Simmon* Tout heat And in Ted Lyon*' hook the tougheat of them all was Hlmmon* —AI Hlmmon*. who used to take that peculiar slahce with one foot In the water bucket and hit anything that came near him "When Hlmmon* was at hla peak," Lyon* aaya. "you couldn't do anything with him If you triad . to waste a bal lon him. he would reach out and hit It for two bases." Me think* Ruth wa* easier to pitch to than Gehrig and he ha* ■pent many a night trying to figure out how to keep Tony Laiierl from hitting behind th* runner. Lyon* think* imaaeri wa* the tougheat man In baseball with runner* on base. • Only With Bea He can't tell you about National league player* because he has never played for any major league team egeept the W'hlte Bog. Nor <Hd he go through the long grind In the minora. In 1922 be stepped from the camptia of Baylor university onto th* Whit* Bog mound and be ha* been there ever since. There are few record* hi baaeball that Lyon* can't match. In three season* he ha* won more than 10 game* Way bach In 1928 be threw a no-hlt game agalnat the Boeton Red Bog. Kight yean ago he pitched a 11-lnning game against the Detroit Tiger*, who split the chore between two pitcher*. Lyons
