Lefty Gomez Given Release By Nats Former Yankee Star Is Out Os Majors (By United Press! Seiior Vernon Gomez the goofy Castilian of the pitching moundIs out of a Job again. And this time he may not he so fortunate as to land a berth with another major h ague club. It may very well be the end of the trail for the lovable left hander, who pilt hi d and clowned his way to baseball fame with the N* w York Yankees. Gomez had two specialties during hie baseball career, and It was ufte uliard to decide which came first with him. One was winning bull gam-. Ami the other was doling out as much laughter as possible. And his ability to kid him self and his baseball bossee along kept him in the game a year and a half after his value as a pitcher hail disappeared. Lefty has always had a passion for speed, and particularly for airpianist. He might never have entered baseball, if it weren't for his desire t fly. His first baseball Job was in Oakland. Calif., and he took it to tarn IBM) for flying lessons. He can now fly solo. Incidentally. The story of Ills antic* in the 1937 world series I* classic. With two New York Giant runners on base at the Polo Ground*. Oi mez suddenly stepped off the mound. He gazed toward the *ky. And while 40,000 sane waited, he ignored the Giant runners to watch a plane fly overhead. The goof was prouder of hl* hitting accomplishment* with the Yanks than hi* pitching feat*. He had a standing bet with Babe Ituth that he would get more hit* each year than the number of game* he wen. Ituth usually took the het. He also had a yearly wager with Van Lingle Mungo, then of the Dodgem. The bet was not. as you might suspect, on which man would win the most games. It was on which would have the highest tatting average. .Mungo was a notoriously weak hitter — but he Usually won the bet. But don't get the idea that Lefty was all fun. He could pitch, too. Hl* name Is entered In the record books eeveral times. He won siz world serie* games without a defeat. He led the American league twice in winning percentage, twice in earned run uverag*-. and once in shutouts pitched. He won three all-star games- -more than any other man.
