By Eddie Ash Amateurs Still Entitled to Headlines m m a Watch Young Stoefen in Tennis Climb

PRO tennis players are making the headlines almost daily nowadays. but it's well to give some attention to the amateur racquet wielders. They all start out as unpaid enthusiasts of the game, and until recent years professional tennis was unknown except salaried instructors around swanky country clubs. One of the most promising amateurs of the current group is Lester Stoefen of Los Angeles, a giant of a lad who in three years has climbed from fifteenth in the national ratings to No. 3 position. He was No. 15 in 1931. No. 6 in 1932. and No. 3 last year. Stoefen's swift climb is remarkable and it is said he stands a good chance of being named on the Davis cup team this year, at least as an alternate Tennis experts attribute Lester’s rapid progress to his marvelous service. He has height and reach and is built for speed. The west coast youth teamed with George Lott last the national tourney and the combination captured the championship. a a a a a a ELLSWORTH VINES thinks Stoefen is on the road to the national singles crown and is a keen aamirer of the tall blond. Before Vines turned professional he had much to say of Lester's skill and following Is a part of Ellsworth's sise-up of Stoefen's ability: “Les, when he's right, can beat any player in the world. I respect him more than any one when he is right, mainly because of his service. The service in tennis has two functions It puts the ball into play and it can be used to place the receiver at a disadvantage. Good placement or dazzling speed may accomplish this. Stoefen has the speed. When in form he gets more behind a ball than anyone of our time. He strikes the ball when it is twelve feet in the air. and he hits it with such cannon-like speed and momentum that it is next to impossible to return it with any degree of accuracy. He has you at his mercy.” a a a a a a THE Bridgeport Blues baseball team has graduated one of its 1933 members to the ranks of the leaguers. Boots Hutsell, righthanded pitcher, has signed up again with the Springfield Chicks of the Middle Atlantic League and will take another whirl in fast company. He was on the mound staff of the Ohio nine for some time last year and also r : an Independent with Bridgeport, one of the fatest semi-pro teams in central Indiana. Hutsell is 20 years old and is the son of Jess Hutsell. former chief of the Indianapolis fire department. g ft 9 9 9 9 JOE DUGAN, former Cathedral high school and Indiana university star infielder, will be among the rookies in the spring training camp of the Indianapolis Indians at Evansville. He is a third sacker and has gained a reputation as a clever fielder with a strong throwing arm. Joe s chance to land a regular berth rests on his ability to thump the ball, and Manager Red Killefer will give the lad some personal attention in an effort to improve his value at the plate. Dugan was a nine-letter athlete at Cathedral, playing baseball, football and basketball. Joe was a standout in all sport branches and when he attended Indiana university he held down third base on the Big Ten club Kenny Dugan, brother of Joe, is captain of the 1934 Indiana baseball team. Kenny also holds down a job on the innerworks of the college nine. a a a a a a 'T'HE bright sunshine of yesterday put a broad smile on the face A of Red Killefer. manager of the Indians. “I don't care for heat waves." he said, “but it would be a nice laugh on the other A. A. clubs if we get better weather at Evansville than the clubs that go below the Mason-Dixon line for training and put out a lot of coin for traveling expense. This state is due to have a mild spring and I feel a hunch that this is the year.” Some of Red’s pastimers went out to Butler university yesterday afternoon and took light exercise both indoors and outdoors. Pitchers Bolen and Thomas and catcher Riddle formed the group of early birds. Manager Killefer is enthusiastic about Evansville and his study of weather statistics leads him to estimate that it's usually ten degrees warmer there than in Indianapolis. When he made that statement somebody tried to take the jcy out of his life by remarking: “Yeh! When it’s ten below here, it's zero in Evansville.” Red's answer to that one was “13-66-23 for you," which decoded means bad luck, box cars and scram. a a a a a a VERNON WASHINGTON, outfielder, better known as G. Wash, finally located Indianapolis on the map and sent a letter to Manager Red Killeier of the Indians in which he stated that he thinks he will like this town. He wanted to know if players in the American Association wear bullet-proof vests, because, like Will Rogers, he said that all he knew sbcul Indiana was what he read in the papers. Washington is a backwoodsman of Texas and once refused to accept a big league trial owing to the fact he hesitated about traveling out of the Lone Star state and to big cities. G. Wash is a Long Horn with short legs and it will be no surprise if he invades Indianapolis carrying his big game artillery’. He *aid- When I draw a bead on 'em the coroner gets a phone call.’ /ears a o the Indians obtained a Texan first baseman. Jimmy Smith was Tube owner and Jack Hendricks was manager. They heard the big fellow could hit, but no other information on the lad was available. He walked into the old Washington park office and asked for the “foreman, and said: 'Howdv. pards! I'm your new first sacker. Whereupon he mil'ed a long pistol out of one pocket and a big quart of red eye out of another. Moreover, it took some time before Jack Hendricks w’as able to convince the plainsman that it was against the rules to keep firearms in the clubhouse. The Texan formed a habit of inspecting his gun every day and it made the other players nervous.

Baseball Holds Color Despite Moaning of Ancient Sideliners

BY TOM MEANT Times Special Sports Writer (Ratting for Joe William*> ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., March 9 —There seems to be a great deal of moaning going on these days that the color and romance has gone from baseball. Most of the moaning is done by fattish, baldish guys, ■who think that romance left baseball about the same time that players ceased to appear in public with soup-bowl haircuts. It really is astonishing the way fattish, baldish guys can put on the beef about times not being what they used to be It's'my opinion that they never were, and that what most of these fattish, baldish guys are moaning about is the loss of their figures and their hair. Old-timers can spin tales by the hour, if you'll buy the ale. about the green rookies who wandered into the training camps of long ago. They look with disdain at the rookie of today who arrives at the swanky hostelry, wades through a crowd bo the desk and signs the register with a flourish. I contend that ball players are none the less colorful since they learned to read and write.

Yankee rookies here, one can find j as much color as ever there was in j the red-necked bushers of the past, j a a a THERE is Harry Smythe, a lefthanded pitcher from Martinez, 1 Ga„ a town of four families, includ- j ing Harry’s. A friend woke him up at midnight to tell him the Yanks had bought him and Smythe threatened to shoot the informer the next day if it wasn’t true. The friend called up the local sports editor to be sure the item was given due prominence in the Augusta sheet. Vito Tamuiis is the name that appears on the roster for the youngest of the Yankee players, another southpaw. Kis full name is Vitautas Casiruirus Tamuiis and he is a Lithuanian, although his father was born in Russia. Vito, who is 22, says the only steady job he ever had. outside of baseball, was shining shoes. He won three games in six days with Binghampton last year, pitching five and a third innings on Saturday and pitching the finale the next day, striking out sixteen, one short of the record. a a a THERE is no overlooking James De Shong. who has the amazing middle name of Brooklyn. His family, which runs heavily to ministers, picked the name because Brooklyn is known as the city of churches. His middle name is not De Shong's only social asset. He is a musical genius and can play any instrument from a hurdy-gurdy to a carillon. So. whenever you hear the fattish. baldish guys bemoaning the lack of color among rookies, let them cry into their beer by themselves. The rookies are up to snuff and so are the regulars. Dizzy Dean and Babe Herman will stand off any of the old-time stars on the matter of color—and ability. And there's an old pappy right in this town who has lived through several generations of crackpots and stars in baseball and doesn't give ground to any of 'em either in eccentricities or ability—Walter Joseph Vincent Maranville, who on Monday, at Waterfront park, will start his twenty-third season on the big apple.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1934

It is the first meeting between the Giants and the Athletics since 1928, and it is of particular interest to baseball fans because it brings together a w’orld champion team and a club that has been virtually wrecked by the sale of stellar players. Old-timers who inspect the Athletics today may not be able to recognize anybody but the venerable manager, Connie Mack. Grove, Earnshaw, Walberg and Bishop have been sold. Moreover Foxx and Higgins, the A’s most stubborn holdouts, w’ill oe missing. Manager Bill Terry of the Giants had hoped to fire his front line troops against the Mackmen, but this hope was partially blasted when Johnny Vergez, ace third baseman, w’renched his knee yesterday. Asa result Travis Jackson was expected to shift from short to third, permitting Blondy Ryan to take over shortstop. Vergez will be back in the game in a few’ days. In the Philadelphia lineup George J Detore, former Colgate star who was purchased from Toledo, will substitute for Higgins at third, and Lou Finney, outfielder, will double for Foxx at first. Hal Schumacher will open on the mound for the Giants, pitching three innings, with Clydeli Castleman, a young prospect from Nashville, hurling the next three. Terry was uncertain as to his third flinger. Alton Benton, Vernon Kennedy and Harry Matuzak will pitch for the Mackmen. The probable lineup: ATHLETICS. C-lANTS.

Bob Hughes Is Tops Over All With High Pin Count of 748

BY PAUL STRIEBECK (Pinch Hitting for Lefty Lee) Bob Hughes found the strike ball last night in the Universal League at the Pritchett drives and went on a scoring spree. Hughes located the pocket for one of the best series of the season on counts of 255, 257, and 236 for a smashing total of 748. Schakel had 617 to help Bob put the Berkle’s Lunch across for a threegame win over Barkeepers Friend.
