Talking It Over BY lOE WILLIAMS

YORK, April 6.—Baseball i# baseball wherever you find It—and. if you can stand two startling observations in the same paragraph—so is the American youngster. A few weeks ago the train I was on came to a groaning halt a few miles outside of Savannah. There Is a law in editorial rooms, you know, that all trains must come to a groaning halt. It was one of those grand early spring days. A flat cleared space on a cotton field near the tracks had been made into a primitive diamond. Tops of wooden boxes and battered tin squares marked the four bases. The side of a bam did duty as a backstop. A game was in progress between farmer hoys, some in faded blue overalls, some bare footed, all vibrant with youth and the zest of fun. A grown-up, grave and solemn, stood back of the pitchers calling the playa in the grand Klem manner. On the side lines sat other grown ups. and other youngsters, relatives and neighbors. There was a scattering of women folk. too. and the first, sun bonnets I had seen since Carrie Nation came flouncing Into Memphis, leading the Interference for Andy Volstead. It was a picture common to the rural lands where playing space is vours for the taking, where the tempo of life Is a slow, leisurely beat where time Is something that merely indicates the passing of the hours. All along the trip T saw cleared fields, and ball games and tiny, huddled groups of spectators. No wonder most of the star ball plavers come from the wide open spaces—the Cobbs, the .Jacksons, the •Johnsons, the Waners In the crowded cities no such opportunities exist. In New York, for instance— BUM I>UT wait, let me tell you what I saw in New York Wednesday, I saw much the same sort of picture that greeted rny eyes on that cotton field down in Georgia. I saw a bunch of youngsters playing ball on a vacant lot. In appearances they might have been the same youngsters, a bit differently dressed. In spirit and ardor they were identical. You don’t see many vacant lots in New York, even in these times. This one is in West Twenty-fourth street, a noisy, busy artery of downtown traffic and commerce, a sizable stretch of grayish clay that separates two old buildings. Any day the excavatlonists may move In to destroy this bond of kinship which exists between the Georgia farmer boys and the sidewalks of New York, but for the moment "Babe” Cunello, ‘Hack” O'Conner. “Trls” Aronvltch and their kind are making the most of a rare moment in a stifling existence. I feci pretty sure that no other vacant lot in the world has ever been set down amid such dramatic surroundings, nor against a background so vividly representative of the manv-hued pattern of life that is the hourly delight and despair of the metropolis. Squinting out from behind the rusted Iron-wires of his small mask, the kid catcher looks upon a panorama of fantastic spires and turrets that split the heavens—that mountainous range of brick and stone and mortar that is the skyline. To the kid. It is not half as exciting as a theater poster announcing the current gambols of Mickev Mouse. He was born in its shadows, and to the musical discordances of clattery elevated trains and roaring subway coaches. But I wonder what he would say If he saw a cow. a peach orchard or a vast field foaming with cotton? a b a THE original Babe Ruth could stand in left field on this down town vacant lot and throw a ball toward the river and it probably would hit one of numerous ocean liners that lay drowsing in the harbor, waiting for the familiar “all ashore” call that will send them to strange lands and places—which to these kids are just page 17 in the geography. Right, around the corner is a drug store, commonplace enough in appearance, but these kids can tell you a story about it. a lurid story typical of the big town and of the times in which thev live. It was in this drug store that a notorious gangster was bumped off. He went in to use the telephone. A motor car drove up outside. A man walked in, took aim with a sub machine gun. fired a volley of shots, walked out, and that, was all, “You could even see some of the blood the next day. mister.”

Cards May Use Hafey in Trade By United Press ST. LOUIS. April 7.—Negotiations may be reopened between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chick Hafey, star outfielder, who is a holdout, President Sam Breadon indicated today. Hafey was quoted as saying in a telephone conversation from his Berkeley (Cal.) home that he would not sign for less than $17,000. his original request, even if he had to retire from baseball. Hafey received $12,500 last year and was offered $13,000 for 1932. It is believed that the Cardinals may give Hafey his price, and then make a deal for him with the Chicago Cubs or New York Giants.

Gossip of the Indians

THE Indians made another cut in their roster today when Ed Lowell, rookie first sacker, was released on option to Derby Day Bill

Clymer'.'j Scranton club of the New York- Pennsylvania League. Lowell was purchased from Oklahoma City late last year. He is a phenom in the field and displayed fair stick work during spring training, but it was necessary to! send him away to keep him playing

regularly. Manager McCann is delegated as regular first baseman and Wingard and Cooney are capable of serving at the initial comer. Lowell was extremely popular in training camp and players and fans hope he wins his way back to class AA. U ft tt SAM BYRD is giving the veteran Earl Combs stiff competition for the center field berth with the Yankees and may land the assignment. Sam crashed a triple and homer here Wednesday and has been doing slugging of that type most of the spring. He also worked Wingard for two walks. U tt u The three Yankee homers went over the left field wall. Murphy proved himself to be a powerhouse with the bludgeon for a pitcher. He cleared the wall once

Schulte, with four hits, led the Brown bat attack.

base and also as pinch hitter. Pilot McCann's athletes nosed out the New York Yankees Wednesday, 12 to 11, in a contest of wild slugging, miscues by the big leaguers playing an important part in the outcome of the tussle. Thirteen extra base hits were included in the bombardment with three home runs being poled by New York, by Byrd, Chapman and Murphy. Two Hits by Babe Babe Ruth was held to two singles and a walk and Lou Gehrig got only one hit, a single. A stiff breeze was against the boys who hit to right field and all of the advantage in the way of assistance by the wind went to the clubbers who slap the sphere the other way. It was the third time Indians and Yankees met this spring and the Tribe annexed the series, two games to one. Scores of the Florida battles were 6 to 5, Indians, and 12 to 8, Yankees. Ed Wells, New York starting hurler Wednesday, was slaughtered by the men of McCann and Johnny Murphy, who took up the toil in the third and finished, also was peppered. Goldman Delivers With the count knotted, 11 and 11, as the Indians took their turn in the ninth Fitzgerald fanned and Rosenberg walked. Sigafoos forced Rosenberg, Saltzgaver to Crosetti, and reached second when Crosetti made a wild throw to first trying for a double play. Murphy lost control and passed both Riddle and Heving, filling the bases. This brought up Jonah Goldman and he lined a single to left, scoring Sigafoos with the winning run. It was Goldman’s third hit of the day. Paid attendance was 4,396 and total attendance better than 4,500. It was a great exhibition for entertainment with both teams crashing the horsehide all over che lot to give the outfielders a hard afternoon of leg work retrieving drives. Ernie Wingard lasted on the Tribe mound until after two down in the eighth when he was relieved by Joe Heving, who slapped on the brakes.

and also hit it for two bases. Ben Chapman displayed fine speed in the Yankee outfield. Lyn Lary, despite erratic play at third base, tried hard to make up for his miscue by poling three singles. tt tt tt The singles by Babe Ruth were well hit and were line drives that whistled to rig i lt V .T he Babe performed in left field and had one putout and an error. Riddle's single bouncing through him in the sixth. JOHNNY RIDDLE turned in a splendid record. He caught the full game, made a daring catch of a long foul in front of the Yankee dugout and collected two singles, double and walk. Johnny has been in a spring batting siump and Wednesday’s blows boosted his confidence and aggressiveness. ERNIE WINGARD demonstrated he has lost none of his punch at the plate. He singled twice and batted in two mates. He was raked for sixteen hits in 7 2-3 innings, but was left out there to face the big bats of the Yankees in order to improve his endurance. It was the first time he had worked beyond a few rounds. The Indians have engaged in thirteen exhibitions, winning seven, losing five and tying one.

Paddy Livingstone. Otto Williams. Jack Havden ana Charlie Carr. Howley was a catcher. The Red chief is of the opinion his Cincy machine will prove the surprise of the National League this year and make a quick exit from the cellar. tt u tt Joe McCarthy’s Yankees left the city Wednesday night for Columbus, where the Red Birds will be met today. A series with the Brooklyn Dodgers will wind up the exhibition program of the Ruppert Rifles. a m m The heavy hitting Frank Sigafoos continues to rap the norsehide for the Indians. but there are signs indicating he might be folding up in the field and it may become necessary for Fred Bedore utility pastimer. to try his hand at the keystone sack. Sigafoos appeared to be in a trance Wednesday and more than once threw the innerworks out of gear with double plavs In sight. Perhaps it was just a bad day for Frank. Anyway the defense around second will have to improve shortly to put the club in smooth working order. Sigafoos is one of the best hitters in the league. SOX WIN LONG TILT By United Prut NEWARK, N.
