YANKEES MAY SWAP GOMEZ TO CLEVELAND FOR FERRELL

Tribe Officials Soured on Slab Ace; Wes Anxious to Make Shift

New York Club Considers Big Right Hander Is Better Pitcher, Physically, Than Lanky Castillian Southpaw; Peck Determined to Peddle Star. BY JOE WILLIAMS Sport* Editor N. V. World-TeUfram NEW YORK. Aug. 18.—This is either one of the big stories of the yea.- or it is no story at all. It all depends on future developments. It comes to me from a well known writer in the middle west. I will let him tell it to you: "I heard something interesting in Detroit from a fellow you know

and who has served both of us well in the past as a tipster on affairs concerning the American League. To get to the point quickly, Wesley Ferrell, Cleveland pitcher, is to be given an opportunity next year to pitch for the man he says js the best manager in the league.” “One of the amazing stories of the season was the declaration by Ferrell that Joe McCarthy of the Yankees was the best manager in the league and that only under him could a pitcher be expected to do his best work. “I was told that this was more of a fact than a rumor and that if Ferrell does not take what orders

• Jk

Gomez

he chooses next year from McCarthy he will not be taking them from Roger Peckinpaugh of the Cleveland Indians, his present manager. In other words, he either will be with the Yankees or some other club. “Cleveland, according to my information, is soured on Ferrell because he has ideas and expresses them freely. You know Ferrell well enough

to know this is neither rumor nor news. Naturally, Ferrell’s blast favoring McCarthy against Peckinpaugh did not sit well with the Cleveland owners. They brought him into a baseball court martial. It was a laugh with him. The boy is pretty smart. But the Cleveland customers have begun to boo him. And that is something else. “My insider tells me that if the Yankees haven’t already been offered Ferrell for Lefty Gomez, they can have him at a moment’s notice and the further dope is that the Yankee management is more than interested. What makes this a plausible thing is the fact that the Yankees are about the, only club in the league that could swing such a deal. It couldn’t be strictly a money deal. It would have to be one great pitcher for another great pitcher. Gomez, Play-Boy? “The Yankees, I am told, figure that physically Ferrell is a better pitcher than the lanky Castillian, and that mechanically it is about even anyway. “From what I hear, the Yankees are under the impression that Gomez is a play-boy. His romance with that Broadway gal has done him no good in the front office. On the other hand, they know that Ferrell is strictly a plugger. All he cares about Is being a great pitcher. More than that, he wants to quit the game independently rich. “Ferrell is the Stalin of baseball. He has a ten-year plan. His plan, briefly, is that he is going to stay in the big leagues that long, and that he is going to wind up with a certain amount of money. Somehow, Cleveland learned about Ferrell’s ambition this season. It didn’t please the club a whole lot, especially coming after that crack about McCarthy being the greatest manager in the league. Wants Ten Years “A close observation was placed on the young man. It was noted he was always trying to save his arm. He refused to take orders from the catcher or the bench. He used a roundhouse, easythrowing curve in the pinches instead of his hard, fast one. “Ferrell is a business man. He has an arm to sell. He’s going to sell it for ten years, and wants $250,000 for it. And there you are. Take it or leave it. Ferrell is through in Cleveland. He wants to pitch for the Yankees. I’m pretty sure you’ll see him there next year.” ERIE RELEASES BENDER By 7 lines Special ERIE. Pa., Aug. 18.—Chief Bender, former big league pitching star, was released Wednesday as manager of the Erie Central League club. Bill McCorry, former Albany Eastern League pilot, succeeded him today.

Fitz, Hale Released; Pitcher Daglia Signed Shakeup Made as Indians Depart for West; New Hurler Bought From Oakland; Younger, Rookie Catcher, Also Is Dropped; Bedore on Roster.

BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor A big shake-up was made in the ranks of the Indians today before the Tribe squad departed for Kansas City. Outfielder Ray Fitzgerald and Sammy Hale, third baseman, w-ere the prominent players handed outright releases. Ed Younger, rookie catcher, also was released unconditionally, and Pete Daglia, right-handed pitcher, was purchased from the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast League. Daglia recently was returned to Oakland by the Chicago White Sox. Daglia will join the Indians in Kansas City. His Coast League record was good enough for the White Sox to take him up for trial. Fitzgerald was released on account of weak hitting and Hale was dropped on account of erratic fielding. Fitzgerald is a star in the pasture. He batted .327 last season, but fell away off this season. He was one of the most popular of Tribe pastimers at Perry stadium. The Indian outfield roster now consists of Hufft, Rosenberg, Taitt and Chapman. The infield roster consists of Manager Emmett McCann (on the inactive list with injuries); Wingard, Sigafoos, Kroner, Goldman and Bedore. Chapman is classified as a “rookie.” He was a star with Terre Haute and is a speed merchant. The catchers are Riddle and Angley and the mound staff totals eight excluding Wingard, listed as an infielder. Bob Logan, rookie southpaw, is on the sick list. Pitctfers on the trip will be Cooney, Bolen, Van Gilder, Heving, Thomas, Burwell, Campbell and Daglia. Another Tribe announcement made today was the release on option of Roger Wolf, pitcher, to Dayton of the Central League. a tt ft AFTER enjoying an outing at the summer home of Owner Norman A. Perry at Lake Maxinkuckee, Culver, the Indian squad will swing back into action Friday night at Kansas City. The vacation since Monday night, when they bowed to the Millers for the fourth straight time, is expected to help the Tribe pastimers back on their feet.

Fails Again By United Brest PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 18.— Wesley Ferrell, one of the major league’s pitching aces, failed again in an attempt to realize his fondest ambition — to defeat Lefty Grove and the Philadelphia Athletics. The two American League stars opposed each other for the third time this season Wednesday with the Athletics winning out, 11 to 0. Grove allowed Cleveland only four scattered hits. Ferrell, who was shooting for his twentieth victory, was off to a bad start and was knocked from the mound in the fifth inning during a five-run Philadelphia assault.

Ferrell

was changed last Friday during a winning streak, when Fuzzy Hufft was inserted for Ray Fitzgerald. an Ordinarily, in baseball, changes of no kind are made when a team is winning. In other words, everything is left “as is” to avoid disturbing the jinx. Superstition explains the practice, of course, and doesn't mean anything, but so long as superstition is regarded in that light on the diamond it’s wise to “go aloag” with its “rules" to ease the mental attitude of the players, nearly all of whom are superstitious. tt tt tt IN Chicago Tuesday Ed Brandt, Boston Brave lefty, blanked the Chicago Cubs for eight innings, allowing two hits. Between the eighth and ninth he went to the clubhouse and changed pants. Weather was sizzling and his uniform was soaked. He went to the mound in the ninth, wearing clean knickers, and was knocked out of the box. The old jinx. boys. Hereafter, no Boston pitcher will change anything while he’s out in front. tt u That was an unusual road record posted by Ownie Bush’s league-leading Millers and demonstrated teams “do come back” at times. The Bushmen lost seven out of their first eight tilts in enemy territory and then made an about face and won seven out of the last eight tilts in foreign territory. It was an even break and the Millers scampered home to meet the Toledo Hens today. tt tt tt THE Hens are chagrined. They made a courageous fight out of the depths and went over the .500 mark only to have their team kicked apart by the action of the Cleveland Indians, Toledo franchise optional owners. Three stars were lifted, catcher Pytlak, outfielder Powers and Ralph Winegarner, utility star. One of the replacements sent by Cleveland is Leo Moon, pitcher, up from New Orleans, formerly with Minneapolis. It was Cleveland’s “Moon Over the Mountain” contribution. tt tt tt There’s going to be an old-timers’ game in Cincinnati Sunday at Redland field following the regular Cincy-Pirate National League tilt. Old stars are gathering from everywhere. Jack Hendricksk, Hoosier Indian business manager, will be chief of the old-timers’ squad. Hank Schreiber, former big leaguer and minor leaguer, now a member of the Indianapolis salvage corps, will take time out between fires and perform with the vets. In the oldtimers’ event at Perry stadium this summer Schreiber got two hits. American association graduates were in the Bruins’ lineup in that nineteen-inning thriller at Chicago Wednesday. They were Herman, English, Stephenson. Gudat, Jurges, Koenig and Tinning. It is said Herman failed to touch the plate in scoring the winning run in the nineteenth. He romped home from third after Berger’s catch of Demaree's fly. According to press box observers Herman stepped over the rubber, but the mistake was missed by catcher Pinky Hargrave and other Braves. The teams battled 4 hours and 13 minutes. tt tt a Curt Walker, former Indian fly chaser, is a free agent again. He was cut loose by the Toledo Hens before they left on their tour of the west. Bad underpinning handicapped the veteran this year and he was unable to round into proper condition 8 tt O ttr l ? 6 * ndial } s plaved an exhibition Wednesday at Culver with the Culver independent nine and got some lively batting practice, winning. 27 to 2.

Ellenberger, Rhodius Meet Ellenberger, 1930 and 1931 winner of the city water polo league title, and Rhodius, twice runnerup to the champions and winner of this year's title, renew their rivalry tonight at Ellenberger.

Lyle (Bud) Tinning How many innings will he pitch today? That was the question Chicago Cub fans asked today about Bud Tinning, new slab hero. Tuesday he pitched one and twothirds innnings and got credit for the victory. Wednesday he toiled twelve and two-thirds innings and nary a run has crossed the plate. But Bud didn't get the victory credit Wednesday, because he was retired for a pinch hitter in the eighteenth inning of that long game with the Braves. Tinning, a sensation in the Western League last year, had been given little chance since joining the Bruins this spring, but Charley Grimm, the new pilot, found plenty of work for him, and he’s producing.

Two City Golfers in Quarter-Final Tests Billy Heinlein Confident of Retaining Hoosier Amateur Laurels as Battle With Ray Jones Starts; Bobby Dale Meets Phil Talbott. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Corresnondrnt HAMMOND, Ind., Aug. 18.—A high wind which swept the Woodmar links here today sent scores soaring as the eight survivors battled in the thirty-six-hole quarter-finals of the Indiana amateur golf championship. Bill Heinlein, defending champion, was one of the victims. He trailed Ray Jones of Richmond, 1 down at tne eighteen-hole halfway mark of their battle. The final eighteen holes were carded for this afternoon. Heinlein was erratic, requiring a 44 on the incoming nine after carding a 37 going out. Jones had a 38-42. The Richmond player won the first hole with a birdie, but lost the second. They halved the third in birdies, and Heinlein went into the lead on the fourth with a 3. Heinlein hooked his drive on the fifth and they were even again, but the champion won the seventh and eighth when Jones became wild to take a 2-up edge. Jones cut the margin by winning the ninth when Heinlein hooked his drive. The match was square after Heinlein three-putted the tenth green, and the Speedway star was forced to make a spectacular recovery from the creek to get a halve on the eleventh. Bill was over par on the twelfth, but won it when Jones was out of bounds. Jones won the short thirteenth, and they halved the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth holes. Heinlein pulled his drive into a trap on the seventeenth, passed the pin on his out, and Jones got down in birdie 3 to win. They halved the eighteenth in 6. Bcbby Dale, the other Indianapolis survivor, had a 40-42—82 against Phil Talbott’s 37-39—76, and was five down at the halfway mark to the 1931 title runner-up. Talbott was 3 up at the nine hole mark. Bill Bassett of Ft. Wayne took advantage of erratic play by Kenny Morine of South Bend to take an 8-up lead at the halfway mark. Morine won only two of the eighteen holes. Bob Hamilton, the Evansville star, took things easy and coasted into a 3-up lead over Harold Brewer of Lafayette. They each had 42 on the first nine, but Hamilton came back with a 36 on the second nine to take the front. Today's winners will play in the thirty-six-hole semi-finals Friday, WOODMAR COUNTRY CLUB, Hammond. Ind., Aug. 18. Eight young links stars renewed their battle for Indiana amateur championship honors here today in thirty-six hole quarter-final battles. Safely passed the dreaded eighteen-hole opening rounds, Billy Heinlein, the young defending champion from Indianapolis, was confident he would retain the laurels he w r on at French Lick in 1931. Winner of a close decision over Will Catterton, Ft. Wayne champion in the first round, end Charlie Taylor, La Porte veteran, in the second round, the Speedway sharpshooter today took on Ray Jones of Richmond.

Jones, a former Indianapolis player, is back in the title play after an absence of five years. He staged a big upset Wednesday when he ousted Keith Young of Lafayetie Wednesday morning, and then continued his smooth play to take Walter Chapman, Indianapolis youngster, into camp in the second round, 5 and 3. Dale Is Favorite Bobby Dale, 106-pound Riverside caddy, was the other Indianapolis survivor, and was down for the feature battle today with Phil Talbott, former I. U. ace and runner-up to Heinlein last year. Bobby, who fired excellent golf Wednesday to whip Charles Harrell in a second-round tussle, is a big favorite with the gallery. . Talbott was one stroke under par on the incoming nine to beat Frank Shields, Indianapolis veteran, 4 and 3, on the second round Wednesday. They were all even at the turn. Paul (Pete) Shaffer, Highland star, staged Wednesday’s major upset by beating Fritz Cox, state junior champion, but fell flat in the afternoon, losing 5 and 3 to Kenneth Morine, young South Bend player. Morine is a sensation, and was close to par all the way in both of Wednesday’s victories. His first victim was Joe Ruff Jr. * Brewer Under Par Morine tangled with Bill Bassett of Ft. Wayne today. Bassett was in fine form Wednesday, and toyed with Paul Wendling of Gary and Kenneth Dobelbower of Lafayette. Bassett was even par for the fifteen holes he played against Dobelbower. Harold Brewer of West Lafayette, who was second low medalist in the qualifying test, was one under par on the first nine holes of his match with Tony Bruggeman of Ft. Wayne in the second round Wednesday, and one under on the back nine to defeat his rival, 3 and 1. Brewer faced Bob Hamilton of Evansville today as the result of Hamilton’s one up win over Bob Harrell of Bloomington Wednesday afternoon.
