Chuck Klein, Hoosier Slugger With Phillies, Went From Cornfields to Mills to Diamond to Stardom in Four Years

BY WILLIAM BRAUCIIER, NCA Srrrice Snort* Editor EDITORS NOTE: This Is the first of a scrips of three articles on the amazing career of Chucit Klein, star of the Phils, who In three vear* has changed from a *250 ball player In the Central League to one of the most dangerous sluggers in the majors, and one of the most valuable players In the game. a a a ana PHILADELPHIA, April 30.—Two days before the world series of 1905, In which John McCraw and Connie Mack matched their championship ball clubs, a baby was born in a farmhouse near Indianapolis. His name was Charles Herbert Klein. Now, almost 2G years late:, Chuck Klein, slugger extraordinary of the Phils, has won a name as one of the most dangerous batters in the National League, and one of the finest outfielders. In the last three years he has come up from a 5250 ball player in the Central League to the sensation of the big leagues, and one of the most valuable players in baseball. He recently signed a contract for more than $40,000 for three years—a record salary for a player on a tail-end team In a short, span of four years he went from the cornfields to the -tecl mills to the diamond to stardom. This year he threatens the home run records of both Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson. Baseball writers recently voted him as the best young player to come to the majors in the last five years. a a a a a a 'T'O millions of the fans he has become an idol. To his mother, in 1 an rndiana cottage near the little town of Southport, he is just plain ‘ Herb,” one of the best boys in the world. The Klein residence is one of those little homes, in a setting of flowers and trees, such as Paul Dreiser might have had in mind when he wrote those long-remembered songs about Indiana. There Chuck Klein shucked corn, milked cows and performed the 101 chores that keep a young boy on the farm busy from sunrise until dark.

Indians Go Down in Hot Tilt With Saints Jly Time * Special ST. PAUL, April 30.—Indians and Saints were to battle in the series second today after staging a thrilling opener Wednesday that went ten innings, the Apostles winning, 6 to 5. It was the lid lifter for the new season at Lexington park and the cash customers to the number of 9,400 were treated to a glorious finish by the home nine. With the count 5 to 4 in the Indians’ /avor and two out in the ninth and no local runners on the paths, saltzgaver poled a home run to even the score and in the extra round Hopkins produced a timely double to register Roettger with the victory marker. The Saints made quick work of it in the tenth Roettger leading off with a single, his third hit of the day, Davis sacrificed, Fenner was walked purposely and Hopkins connected for two cushions.

Bill Burwell went the route on the Tribe mound and deserved to win, the Indians giving a run away in the fifth when Barnhart lost Morrissey’s fly in the sun. However, Burwell was solved for fourteen hits while his mates could collect but nine, one being a homer by Montague with the bases vacant in the fifth. Harriss toiled nine innings for the Saints and Bream pitched the tenth. It was a close fight all the way and was “anybody’s game” until the struggle ended with the Saints rallying in both ninth and tenth to thrill the fans and squeeze in with the triumph. There were “breaks” galore during the contest and the Hoosiers were on the short end of the baseball luck. tt tt tt Howard Fitzgerald was outstanding in the field and he helped Burwell out of holes bv two marvelous catches. He had seven putouts and one assist operating in the middle pasture, but had no luck at the plate in five attempts. ft tt tt It was the fourth victory for the Apostles In five battles with the Indians, the Apostles capturing three out of four at Indianapolis. Burwell tamed Hopkins until the tenth, the winning hit being the lone safety for the St. Paul third sacker for the day. it ft o Slim Harriss, Apostle hurler, usually is an "automatic” out. but on Wednesday he surprised the throng by delivering two hits, one driving in a run and the other launching a rally. tt it tt An error bv Montague helped the Northmen to a run in the sixth. The Indians seem unable to ebase the miscue jinx, any false move on their part ending in disaster. It has been that way since the beginning of the new season. tt tt tt Milwaukee won the Hickey attendance trophv for best opening day attendance. The Brewers and Toledo Hens attracted 13.113 Wednesday in Milwaukee. There were 9 000 at Minneapolis and 7.365 at Kansas City. In the openers on April 14 Louisville was high with U.OOO. tt tt tt The Indians are striving to bolster their mound staff and according to rumors from Chicago the Tribe has made an offer for pitcher Lester (Sugar! Sweetland. but Manager Hornsby of the Cubs is not ready to release the hurler. Jack Hendricks Is scouting the college nines for the Tribesmen.

HAT is expected to be the V\ best state open tournament in years will be held at the Speedway course July 27, 28 and 29. We say it is expected to be the best tournament in years because it has been some time since the title play was held over what might be termed a championship course in championship condition. tt tt tt Year before last Neal Mclntyre, pro at Highland and the Babe Ruth of Indiana pro golfers, hitting his drives a mile, won the title at Anderson. Last year Johnny Watson, pro at Erskine Park course in South

Bend, won the title over Cresmoor course at Gary. Neither hardly would be classed as a champion ship course. They tell a funny story about Watson and the winning of the title last year, one not likely to be told about the winner this year. Watson, as one of the officials of the Indiana Pro-

;

Watson

fessional Golf Association, was detailed to look over the Gary course when the matter of selecting the championship course from a group cf aspirants was on last spring. Gary offered the purse, the north end of the state deserved an open tournament, because it had been some years since one was held up that way, so the Gary course was , looked upon as the best prospect. tt tt tt While walking over the coarse on Inspection. Watson gathered up some valuable personal information. Going back to South Bend. John told us he literally tossed all the clubs in his golf bag into the discard save the driver, niblick and putter. For days preceding the title play, he spent his time on the practice tee. Then he would take his niblick and practice pitchinjj to a small xreen on his course. Much of the time he tried to drop approach shots from the edxe of the rreen into the cup.

Legion Announces Six Bouts on Ring Bill Next Week

Next Tuesday night’s Legion mitt show at the armory will include forty rounds of milling, a ten-round semiwindup. two sixes and two fours comprising the lineup, which is as follows: Ten Rounds—Joe Anderson, Cincinnati, vs. Clyde Chastain. Dallas; light-heavy-weiehts. Ten Rounds—Leroy Doueran. Arkansas,

On the last day when Watson. Neal McIntyre and Ralph Stonehouse left the first tee to play the final thirty-six holes cf the tournament they were practically deadlocked in scores. It remained that way for a time, but as the match wore on Johnny Watson “niblicked” the bovs to death. About all it took on many of the holes was a srood Iona: poke from the tee and a niblick shot for a short pitch to the green. Johnny sent a couple in from off the green and when he didn’t he got up close enough to require but one putt most of the time. tt tt it The year before, Mclntyre with his . ns drives, was able to get around the Anderson municipal course easily. This year it will be a different storv. because even the short course totals 6.240 yards at Speedway. and the long tees stretch it to <S,6;>3, a real championship test. The fairwavs are good and the greens are large with heavy bent grass putting surfaces that are not surpassed by many private courses in this state. tt tt tt Incorporation of the organization formulated by members of five municipal golf clubs last season and known as the Indianapolis Public Links Association was made with the secretary of state late Wednesday. Incorporators are John Niblack. Riverside, originator of the idea; Harry E. Schornstein. Pleasant Run: Christian J Emhardt. Sarah Shank: Jack Crawford. South Grove, and Joel T. Eliiott, Coffin. First meeting of the organization, according to Ai Siler, secretary, will be held Friday night in the South Grove club house. Every municipal golfer in the city will be welcomed. The object of the association will be to organize stronger clubs at each course, work out a smooth running interclub schedule between these club teams, and last but not least, promote a tournament that will determine the municipal course individual champion of the city. a tt tt Suggestions of any municipal golfer along lines that will better playing conditions at any of the courses will be welcomed by the organization. If. after careful consideration. the suggestion is found to be workable, the association will relay it to the park board and fight for its adoption as a municipal course rule.

CHUCK’S childhood days were those of the average farm boy. There was work—which helps to explain those bulging muscles and strong wrists —and hunting in the nearby fcoods and games of baseball. •‘Herb always was a good boy,” says his mother. “We never did have to spank him. We only had to tell him once and he’d mind.” The young Klein went through the grades in the rural school at Southport and entered high school in 1919. He played baseball there, and, naturally in Indiana, was a good basketball player. After graduation he went back to the farm. His next job was as a laborer on a road-building crew. Then he got a job in a big steel mill in Indianapolis. Ever since he was 15 he had been playing with the Keystones, a semi-pro team composed of players, most of whom were much older than the kid from Southport. ana a a a FOUR years ago Chuck got a job'at Evansville as helper at an open hearth plant. In. the summer of that year Klein, instead of a bat, wielded a long steel rod, known in the mills as ‘‘the bleeder,” with which the helper chips away the clay core that releases tons of molten steel from the blast furnace. One night young Klein for the last time joined the weary river of grimy men that poured from the plant as the whistle blew —for he was to receive a tryout with the Evansville Three-I team. Chuck told his manager, Jack Wheatcraft, that he was ‘‘all through at the plant” and that he was going to make good in baseball if It killed him. A few weeks later Evansville released young Klein and he went back to the farm, a disappointed young man. FRIDAY—Chuck Tries Again.

Yankee Davis Cuppers Tackle Mexico Friday By United Press MEXICO CITY, April 30.—The United States Davis cup team of Wilmer Allison, Frank Shields and Sidney Wood, held its final workout today in preparation for the start of the first zone match with Mexico Friday. Shields is the only United States player in good form. Wood was unable to work out Wednesday because of a slight illness while Allison has been unable to flash his usual form. Both Allison and Wood are expected to be in condition for their matches, however.

Interest in the two singles matches scheduled for Friday centers in the Shields-Ricardo Tapia contest. Tapia was defeated by Allison last year, but has been showing good form this season and is regarded as the star of the Mexican team. The other singles match will be between Allison and either Unda or Acosta.

Ruth Back on Sunday Bambino Hopes to Rejoin Slumping Yankees Against Boston. BY HENR\ r M’LEMORE Vnitcd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK April 30.—George Herman Ruth may be nearing 40. on his last legs, and far from the man he used to be, but he still is a good 50 per cent of the New York Yankees baseball team. If you don’t believe it get out your memorandum pad and check on what ha. happened to the Ruppert Rifles since the big man barged into Catcher Berry in Boston eight days ago for a free ticket to the hospital—and be convinced. With Mr. Ruth in the lineup lending physical and moral support to the cause, the Yankees got off to a flying start to win six of their first eight games and gain a wholesome lead in the American Leagued Then Ruth, with a fine disdain for caution, plunked into Berry at the plate, aud had to be carried from the field. Since that day—a week ago Wednesday—the Yanks have lost four, won one, and tied one, to slip from the top to third position. Os course, Cooke’s injury played a part in the Yanks' slump, but it is Ruth's absence that is largely to blame. Ruth was “at home” to a score or so of sports writers Wednesday, and during the informal interview said he expected to be back in the lineup Sunday, when the Yankees open another series with the Red Sox in the stadium. Heavies Top Mat Program Throe WTestling bouts will be staged Friday night at Cadle tabernacle with heavyweight performers providing the action in the two features. Women will be admitted free.
