By Eddie Ash Koenecke May Make It l nder Stengel 808 Local $75,000 Star Gives New Promise

JT'S this year or never for Len Koenecke in the big show and chatter is drifting up from the Brooklyn Dodgers’ spring training camp to the effect Manager Casey Stengel is confident the former Indianapolis $75,000 outfielder will earn a regular position in the Flatbush garden. Stengel was in the American Association when Koenecke had his big year with Indianapolis, and Casey thinks he knows exactly hots to get the best out of the former railroad fireman. When the Indians sold Len to the late John McGraw for a load of players and SIO,OOO in cash, the transaction was appraised at 875,000. Koenecke failed to make the grade his first year in the majors and was farmed to Jersey City, where he again established himself as a slugger. In the spring of 1033 the former Hoosier was recalled and was promised a lengthy tryout, but a feud broke out between Len and the Giants’ new boss, Bill Terry. This situation resulted in Koenecke being shuffled off to Buffalo. Cracking the whip puts Koenecke in a slump and it was useless for Terry to have him around when the youngster resented that kind of treatment. However, the so-called feud with Bill Terry eventually may make a star out of Len. He is under a manager now who understands his type. a a a a a a WHEN Koenecke first joined Buffalo last year he still was owned by the New York Giants and he was low in spirit. He felt sure he never would be recalled. Swift changes occur in baseball, however, and while Len was bemoaning his grievances a deal was made between the Giants and Brooklyn and New York included Koenecke as ‘•good measure.” It is said at the time Terry was inclined to laugh up his sleeve over the “trick” he had played on the Dodgers. It acted as anew lease on life for Len and he started on a rampage with the Bisons that made him the idol of Buffalo. His fielding became high class, his base running picked up and he pounded the ball all over International League parks. His playing boosted the Bisons from seventh place to fourth and in the league playoff Koenecke kept starring and his work was an important factor in making Buffalo the eventual champion. All pitching looked alike to the former Indianapolis star. a a a a a a WITH the Bisons, Koenecke batted .334. after a slow start. He scored 113 runs, batted in 100 and his 210 hits accounted for 291 bases. He collected 150 singles, thirty-six doubles, fifteen triples and eight home runs during the regular campaign. A feature of his home run swatting was the fact that one or more men w'ere on the paths each time he connected. Moreover, the stalwart fly chaser pilfered thirty bases and finished second to the league leader. It's now up to Chief Stengel of the Dodgers to steam up Lens determination and to act as his cheer leader when the Dodgers battle Bill Terry's Giants. a a a a a a TILE Southern Association’s intentional pass rule, as adopted after revision, is an experiment worth watching, according to Sporting News, the weekly publication that keeps its ear to the ground in baseball leagues, major and minor. Standpatters oppose the move, but standpatters have been left at the post more than once in baseball and other sports and the Southern League is entitled to try out the restriction if it thinks its fans want it. Asa matter of fact, this column believes other leagues will fall m line in the event the Dixie fans approve the drastic measure. The rule was designed to remove the complaint that has arisen about the practice of pitchers passing good batters to get at weak hitters, a policy that has brought loud booes from the home fans—when the visiting pitcher was doing it. However, no home customers ever were heard to shout in derision when the home pitcher disposed of the visiting team’s star slugger by giving him four wide ones. a a a a a a IN simple form, the Southern Association’s intentional pass rule provides that where third base and second base alone are occupied, after two are out, the runner on third shall score; and a runner on second, when first and second are occupied, shall score when an intentional pass is issued. An intentional pass is defined as four consecutive balls to the batter before the pitcher throws a strike, and loopholes are closed by declaring a pass when the pitcher hits the batter or the catcher interferes with him. Umpires have been heard to say that although their job is tough, the hours are soft and their sleep long. The intentional pass rule is likely to give the Dixie umpires the insomnia, especially during the early games of 1934 before the fans digest the fact that the rule will be the same all over the league. a a a a a a THE salary controversy between Jimmy Foxx and his boss, Connie Mack. has led to the telling of tales out of school. Jimmy was asked to accept a cut of 25 per cent and he emitted a roar. The slugger thereupon pointed out that the Athletics failed to do right by a couple of young players last year who filled regular berths. He said Pinkie Higgins, star ♦ third sacker. was given only $3,000 salary and that Roger Cramer, regular outfielder, drew down only $3,500. These lads would be up in the real money with certain other clubs. Foxx points out.

The change in the schedule, according to Ollie May, league secretary, was made to help equalize the number of games played by teams in the loop. Terre Haute and Indianapolis have each played thirteen games, while Richmond, through postponements due to bad weather and other causes, has played but seven. The Quakers, who won the league championship last season, defeated the Indians, 4 to 3, in a sensational overtime battle here a few weeks ago. The Richmond squad consists of Bricker, Minor, Null, Danford, Brunton, Stolle and Hawkins, the last-named being the reserve player who cinched the overtime game for his team on their last trip here.

Major League Spitball Retires to Slumber With Dodo Bird in History

BY DANIEL (Batting for Joe Williams) Times Special Sports Writer ■RyfTAMI BEACH, March B.—Perhaps within the year spitball hurling will have perished in the major leagues, for the only remaining exponent of that type of delivery in the big show is Burleigh Grimes of the Cardinals. Urban Faber's retirement from the White Sox swept spitball pitching out of the American League, and it is a question how long it will hang on in the National. It is a strange fact that there are more spitters in the Pacific Coast League than in both of the major circuits. Jack Quinn and Clarence Mitchell have found refuge on the coast and have joined Frank Shellenback, who has been throwing the damp deceiver out there for many a season. The coast league passed a special rule to enable Quinn and Mitchell to earn a living. Ever since it was invented a generation ago by Elmer Stricklett. who used to demonstrate its divers faculties with the Dodgers, the spitter has been something of a pariah among pitching styles. When it first gained prominence major league managers warned their men away from it as an agent of the devil, for the general supposition was that the spitter ruined a hurler's arm. st a a PERHAPS as it was pitched in the pioneer days by Stricklett, Big Ed Walsh and Jack Chesbro, the spitball did throw an unnatural burden on the forearm. But in later years Mitchell. Grimes and Faber hurled the slithering slicker with grace and facility. In fact, pitching has progressed so far that the onus has been removed from all the specialties, including the screw ball, knuckler, fork ball and the slide ball. Carl Hubbell of the Giants has carried the screw ball to its glorious state, while Fred Fitzsimmons, also of the world’s champions, has brought the knuckle ball to its peak of perfection. Three of the major spitters already have died. They were Urban Shocker, Jack Chesbro and Hal Carlson. W r alsh has gone out of baseball and is in the professional golf business in Meriden. Conn., while Bill Doak is in real estate in Florida, and Phil Douglass is heaven knows where. Strickeltt is somewhere out in California, and Stan Coveleski is in Shamokin. Pa., no doubt as silent as ever. a a a THERE is a natural down here with the Giants. He is Dutch Prather, a first baseman, who belongs to Nashville and no doubt will continue under that ownership. Prather hails from around Meeker, Okla.. where Carl Hubbell makes his home. “It seems that, Hubbell is a better pitcher thane we around home

Secret Diet Imbues Kingfish With Zest for Kill, Says Sis

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March B.—Conversation among New York’s seven million or so citizens today was restricted almost entirely to specui lation as to the nature of the secret food which Leaping Lena Levy, sister and manager of Kingfish Levinsky, compounded while doingresearch work among the pots and pans of her Chicago kitchen. According to Leaping Lena, the new, strange food has been fed to the Kingfish for the last three weeks, and will send him in the ring against Walter Neusel at the Garden tomorrow night “more deadly than a Bengal tiger, more ferocious than a wounded leopard cat.” “My new dish,” Lena explained today, “has made the King positively terrifying. He was terrific before, but now he’s a tiger. Boy, he’s a regular King Kong. No, no, I can’t tell you the ingredients of | the food. It's a secret!” If Lena is not bluffing, and really ; has concoted a “vittle’ dynamic enough to change the dull, slow, clumsy and flat-footed Kingfish into a thunderbolt of fury and a devastating monsoon, she might just

They used to go out in the pea patch outside the right’ field fence and pick up baskets full of baseballs that had been hit there off Carl.” However, not all the comedy around here is confined to Prather. On Sunday four of the boys—Lefty O'Doul, Johnny Vergez. Joe Moore and Tom Clark—borrowed some golf clubs and started to dig up one of the local courses. nun O’DOUL, ordinarily a good golfer, who was not going well with his borrowed sticks, finally lost his

C. Slagel. who scales 230 against the Greek Adonis’ 205, jumped into prominence last summer by defeating Joe Savoldi in New York. Londos has won and lost in two bouts with Savoldi. Slagel also holds a draw with Everett Marshall, who recently forced Londos to struggle more than three hours before gaining a fall. The Kansan has gone undefeated in five local engagements. It took him only five minutes to flop Lou Plummer, husky grappler. at the Armory last Tuesday. The former Kansas university grid star is known as the “Houdini of the mat”

Any one with a foed so powerful it gives a man 400horse power where he had only six before, is going to find governments bidding furiously for her secret. Give Hitler the recipe and his storm troops would be storm-troop-ing all over Austria in a week and be up on France’s roof pulling the shingles off in a month. Mussolini would go pretty high for the concoction, too, for with it his boys would be skidding down the Alps and Appenines like kids down bannisters. Asa reward. II Duce would probably give Lena a fourroom apartment in the Coliseum, and. alongside the Titus arch of triumph, erect one to be known as II Leaping Lena Arco di Trionfo. I did my best to get the recipe for the dish from Leaping Lena. I asked her if it called for eggs, if it looked like a pork chop, what it tasted like, and if it called for marshmallows on top. But she wouldn’t furnish even a hint. The Herald-Tribune man said he had a hot tip from a reliable source that Roman candles was the base of the dish. But I’m inclined to doubt it.

Foxx is concentrating on golf while the A.’s work out at Ft Meyrs. Jimmy said today that he would not taake a cent less than $25,000, and that he felt he had the support of every fan in America.

His little Geneva team once repeated Centre’s feat of defeating Harvard, and his Kansas State teams have commanded national attention several years. To Name Line Coach Last season Kansas Staters battled victoriously through the Big Six conference until they met Nebraska, one of the best teams in the nation, and the only Big Six eleven to defeat McMillin's squad.

Last fall Harrell was head freshman football coach, while Thom aided Hayes with the varsity. Ilayes Praises Choice The salary attached to McMillin’s acceptance of the Hoosier berth was not disclosed, but it was supposed that it would rank with the average Big Ten salaries, somewhere near $6,500. "I think McMillin is the best possible choice we could make here at Indiana,” Hayes said, characterizing the red-haired Texan as the greatest quarter back he ever saw, and as the most enthusiastic student of football in the country.
