Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 9.—01d Jack Hendricks, who has more silver in his hair than you’ll ever find in “them thar hills,” is being called on and visited these days in the grand manner. If you know your baseball you don’t need to be told that Hendricks is bossing the team

that is leading the National League hysteria at the current writing, the Cincinnati Reds no less. Hendricks has been around a long time, and he knows a lot about human nature and left-hand-ers, so it probably isn’t very surprising to him to find he is the object of unusual attention by

Williams

the newspaper beys these days, whereas a year ago nobody gave him so much as a tumble. The truth is, he didn’t need one. He had tumbled all the way from tfr'e top of the league to the bottom, a*jd for a while it looked as if he njlght tumble right out of dear old Rjiineland on his ear, so fervent and ardent had become the yelp of the wolf pack. nun But now, like life in the Fijis, Utl has changed. Where his Reds fc-ere a lugubrious last on June 9, |927, with sixteen won and thirty-two lost, they are now out in front, not so far that a twofoot yard stick wouldn’t touch ’em, but out in front just the same. tt tt IT’S always something of a phenomenon when a team that was last a year ago improves its position by seven places and Jack Hendricks, looking not wholly unlike a traffic cop off duty, sitting up there in his suite in the Alamac in shirt sleeves and slippered feet, sought to explain this amazing development. “The answer is,” he explained, “we are playing winning baseball.” To the gentlemen of the press who had called on Hendricks the simplicity of the formula was flabbergastering. With that fine tolerance and patience, typical of matured souls, Hendricks proceeded to show the press men that the business of turning out a pace-setting team is as easy as getting the wrong telephone number. “Just go out and get more runs than the other fellow. That's all you have to do. That’s what we are doing and have been doing since the race started.” tt tt tt When a baseball manager refuses to pose as a miracle man, a master of black magic or a little Neapoleon, there isn’t much that you can do in the way of a bangup yarn that will reveal the real inside dope on his “system” or the Socrates-touch of his brain activities. tt tt a SO far as Hendricks is concerned his Reds just happen to be up j there today and that’s all there is j to it. You gather he isn’t any too sure they are going to stay up there for any great length of time, because when you start talking about October and what might happen between now and then he wanders. “Remember Tex Lattimer, our old catcher?” asks Hendricks. “Well, he had a bad break three or four years ago. Got into a gun fight, and killed a man. The man was shot four times in the back. K was running away. Tex pleaded self-defense —get that, self-defense, and they gave him life. “We ran up to Columbus to visit him a couple of weeks ago, and Tex was wondering if he couldn't get paroled pretty soon. ‘You know Jack,’ he said, ‘I never smoked or chewed or drank or cussed in my life.’ “The president of our ball club was listening to him. ‘Maybe not,’ he put in, ‘but you certainly made lot of lousy throws to second.’ ” “And now,” persisted the pressmen, “tell us who’s going to win the pennant?” tt a a Hendricks turned this into a good joke too. He said the Reds. And he may be right. It’s anybody's race in the National this year. That is, anybody’s but the Phillies. Hendricks thinks he has a better ball club than the East appears willing to concede. o tt tt PURDY and Callaghan are real outfielders and will be a big help to the club all year,” he tells you. “Red Lucas is out with a broken wrist, but I think we are strong enough to keep on winning at that. Critz is holding up well at second and Ford is the best defensive shortstop in baseball. Rixey is having one of his best years.

Man for man, I think we are as good as the best.” It was this same Hendricks who gave the boys a fourposter shock last winter when he refused to take Rogers Hornsby off Mr. McGraw’s hands in exchange for Critz, who had had nothing bet-

ter than an ordinary season in Cincinnati. Hornsby had played for Hendricks before and the two didn’t get along very well, but the gray haired manager is not one to allow personal differences to stand in the way of strengthening his ball club. Asa batter, of course, Critz doesn’t rank with Hornsby, but if he isn’t the best fielding second baseman in the league and the best double play pivot man in both leagues, there are no onions in Bermuda and Tom Heflin is the next Pope.

National League Pilots Strive to Round Out Clubi for Race

Walker Hits for Circuit to Win Tilt \ Eleventh-Inning Rally Nets Victory to League-Lead-ing Reds. Curtis Walker, veteran outfielder of the Cincinnati Reds, smashed a home run in the eleventh with Zitmann on base and broke the Reds’ three-game losing streak with a 5 to 3 victory over the Brooklyn Robins. Walker was responsible for every Cincinnati run, Callaghan scoring when Bancroft fumbled Walker’s roller in the first. Callaghan scored again on Walker’s single in the sixth and Walker scored on a wild pitch in the ninth after he had tripled. The St. Louts Cardinals see-sawed hacked into second place by beating the New York Giants. 8 to 3. “Wee Willie” Sherdel had the Giants shutout until the eighth inning when Ott hit his seventh home run of the season. Walter Roettger’s bat accounted for three St. Louis runs with a home run and double. Collecting seventeen hits oft Kremer. Tauscher and Spencer, the Boston Braves rocked the Pittsburgh Pirates for a 9 to 5 win.

Managers Anxious to Get Set for Hectic Pennant Chase. TRADES PUZZLE FANS Pirates Give Gooch, Harris for Hargreaves. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 9—Four National League players shifted clubs today, consummating t’.vo deals of apparently no importance, but emphasizing the efforts of three managers—John McGraw, Wilbert Robinson and Ownie Bush—to get their clubs rounded out for a penant race quite likely to make baseball history. The prospect of seeing seven clubs battle for the national pennant may be reserved for the Nation’s baseball fans this season, and if the Boston Braves should fail in their expected comeback, a six-cornered race would be something of a novelty. What’s It Mean? Jockeying pdayers around for this mid-summer madness is quite understandable, but when the New York Giants go out and buy Russell Wrightstone from the Phillies and the Brooklyn Robins trade Charley Hargraves to thV\ Pirates for Joe Harris and Johnny Gooch, that is enough to make most any fan ask: “What for?” The Giants only recently sold Art Jahn, a promising looking outfielder from the Pacific Coast League, to the Phillies at the waiver price, and now they turn around and give the money back to William F. Baker for Wrightstone, who has evoluted from a third baseman to a first baseman to an outfielder. Wrightstone, who hit .305 In 141 games last season, may find himself with the Giants and prove just the man they need for relief duty and pinch-hitting. He is a left-handed hitter. McGraw’s announced plan for Wrightstone is to use him as an understudy for Bill Terry at first and as a pinch-hitter. On the face of it, the Robins got all the worst of it in their trade with the Pirates. Hargreaves is younger and a better catcher than Gooch, and it will take another lease on life by Harris to give Brooklyn the better of the deal. Harris, who was discarded by the Washington Senators two years ago, has played courageously under all sorts of handicaps since joining the Pirates. His trenchant bat helped the Pirates win the pennant last year, playing many games far from in physical shape. He batted .326 m 116 games at first base last season With Del Bissonette going great guns at first, “Uncle Wilbert” Robinson plans to use Harris only as a pinch-hitter. Robinson gave up Hargreaves to get a left-handed hitting catcher as Henline and , Deberry are righthanded hitterS. Gooch, who bats either way, hit .257 in ninety-one games last season. Hargreaves batted .285 in forty-four games. A deal between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians was In the making Friday, but Miller Huggins scared off Billy Evans, general manager of the Buckeyes. The Indians wanted Gene Robertson or Mike Gazellt, to play third, but Huggins said he wouldn’t consider trading either of them unless he could get Willis Hudlin or Joe Shaute. That closed the negotiations.

Not a hand was turned in the American Association Friday, all contests being prevented by showers or wet grounds. And what a blow to the club owners! With the race a tight fit with six teams involved the fans are eager to make the turnstiles click, but rain won’t let them spend their money.
