O 0 | Today's Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off.) I O 0 Newark. N. J.. Aug. 12 tl’P) It's a short but terrifying step “ from Triple-A baseball to the major leagues but U>u Novlkoff. the mad Russian who hears the stigma of failing with the Chicago Cubs .a and the Philadelphia Phils, is y hoping today for one more chance. The clouting commissar current- ** ly is performing in the outfield 11 for the Newark Bears, a Yankee u farm club in the International K league. Waived out of the majors twice, he'll have to show a lot to * get another shot but you never '* can tell. *' Lou once was known as "Stupor Man" because of fielding Ala Babe “ Herman. But currently he is fielding well, hitting a steady .304 and has knocked in 31 runs in 29 * games. ’’ It's a far cry from the days when ' the 32-year-old former softball pitcher was winning the batting " championship in every minor ’ league in which he played and r touted as the hottest thing since * Joe DiMaggio. He was. in fact, the ’ most publicized player who never ’ starred. Lou drew the raves by winning the batting championships of the Three-Eye league, the Texas league, the Pacific Coast league : and the American Association ■ While at Los Angeles, fxm clout--1 ed 41 hornets and posted a .36.1 average which made him worth 175.000 to the Chicago Cubs. But in four years with the Cubs he never could hit better than .300 once and his defensive play was (ar from brilliant. Except for one occasion. That was when Lou pegged for home 1 and the ball struck the box seat ' rail and caromed into the catch--1 ar’* hands. The runner was out. It was quite a play. The Cubs gave up on him in February. 1945, and he was releas 1 ed outright to Lo* Angeles. There he hit .310 and drew a bid from the Phils in 1946 But the Phillies, too. gave up on him-and when that happened with the 1946 Phillies ' you could count yourself Just about through in the majors. lx>u almost did give up. But he went hack to hit .301 with Seattle in 1946 and .325 last year. Now he 1 is at least closer to the major geographically and. maybe physic ally. It would be strange If Ixiu made it back to the major* after those two abysmal flops But with this guy. you never can tell! > MAJOR NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct.
