By Eddie Ash Phil Weintraub May Stick With Giants m a m Jewish Given Test as Terry’s Sub

’ TT looks as though Phil Weintraub is going to get a break A with Bill Terry’s Giants, champions of the baseball world. The former Indianapolis player was booked to be “shuffled off to Buffalo” a few days ago, but it seems that Boss Terry has changed his mind and there is a strong possibility now that Phil will be retained and developed as an understudy for the Giants’ chief at first base. Weintraub went to the New Yorks as ah outfielder, but when given an opportunity this spring he worked out at the initial sack and caught Terry’s admiration. Weintraub graduated to the Giants late in 1933 after starring with Birmingham in the Southern Association last year and he was tagged about No. 7' on the Giants’ fly chasing list this spring until Bill Terry “had an idea.” Bill explained that he had got the hunch that Phil had too much speed, batting power and ambition to be relegated to the minors and for that reason had decided to test the youth at first base. The Chicago lad had three doubles and two triples to his credit in exhibition games when his manager brought him in from the outfield to the innerworks. nun n n n TERRY noticed that Weintraub seemingly had passed off the shyness of a rookie and was out there battling along the lines of a regular big leaguer. Moreover, Bill and his lieutenants concluded Phil was a better ball player than had been expected, for his minor league record, except at Birmingham, w T as nothing to become excited over. Records had disclosed that Phil had started his professional league

career as a pitcher, but gave it up on account of lack of control. Next he took up first basing, and later changed to the pasture. Weintraub has a marvelous throwing arm for distance and is of the slugging type at the plate. The acid test as a first baseman probably will rest in his ability to make accurate throws to others on the infield when runners are on the paths. The Giants always have endeavored to land a star Jewish player to please the many Jewish fans in New York, and that is one more reason Weintraub is sure to receive a thorough trial. Harry Danning, catcher, is another Jewish candidate with the Giants. Andy Cohen, infielder, filled the Jewish role at the Polo Grounds for a time under John McGraw, but Andy was short of major league brilliancy and passed to the minors. Weintraub bats left handed and throws the same way. His service with Indianapolis was limited to spring training and exhibition games chiefly.

Phil was farmed out by the Indians and later was given an outright release at his own request. He suffered bad luck on injuries and at one time became rather low in spirit with the feeling that perhaps his baseball career was approaching the end. Something happened, however, and Weintraub popped back ihto the diamond sport and made a quick climb to the majors following a year in the hot sun of Dixieland. He is 25 years old, stands 6 feet 1 inch and weighs 185. a a a a tt a When the Phillies beat the Dodgers the other day as a base on balls forced the winning run over the plate, it is said Manager Casey Stengel of the Brooklyns kicked up so much sand and dust that Florida natives ran for the hurricane hideouts. The Dodgers were defeated again yesterday by the Cincy Reds, on a walk, wild pitch, error and a long fly. a a tt a tt tt HEADLINES from The Times’ sport pages ten years ago this month: Martinsville won the state basketball title, defeating Frankfort. 36 to 30. at the state fairground. . . .

meeting Tuesday night probably will be a back-alley encounter. Announcing their pairing today, Matchmaker Lloyd Carter said both were anxious for the bout, which promises to stay clear of the pinktea classes. George (Cry Baby) Zaharias. 235, Colorado Greek, and Karl (Doc) Sarpolis, Chicago dentist, 215, will clash in the main go on Carter’s program, and the semi-windup will bring to Indianapolis Man Mountain Dean, the 305-pound Georgia giant, who will pit his bulk against Charlie Strack, former U.

Zaharias is a clowner who probably will restore Sarpolis to favor with his own antics. Tickets are on advance sale at the Claypool hotel pharmacy at regular prices.

Jones Six Strokes Back in Masters’ Tournament Today’s Round May Determine Whether Bobby Can Make the Comeback Trail; Stonehouse Shoots 74 in First Round. By Unite! Press AUGUSTA, Ga., March 23.—Overcast skies and a stiff, chilly northeast breeze chilled competitors in the Masters’ Invitation golf tournament today when they arrived for the second round of play. Gone were the summer sun and bright blue skies of yesterday. The thermometer was down to 48. Spectators shivered in topcoats and leather jackets. The field’s starting time was reversed today. Late starters of the first round teed off first. Bobby Jones played with Paul Runyan again today. BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Pres* Staff Correspondent AUGUSTA. Ga., March 23.—Bobby Jones, former emperor of the golf world, continued the come-back battle today, unbowed by a poor first round, undaunted by shaky putting and chipping. Facing the second eighteen holes of the four-day Masters’ Invitation tournament —his first competitive play in more than three years—the game little Atlantan hoped to come from behind, just as he did so gloriously back in 1925 when he won the National Open at Worcester. Bobby was still confident, although thirty-four of the nation's crack linksmen were ahead of him—sharpshooters whom he had invited to a tilt on his own Augusta National course.

Not After Rea, Panthers Reply By United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 23. —Strong denial that Tom Rea, Jasper high school coach, has been offered the basketball coaching job at Bloomington high school was made today by William F. Vogel, superintendent* of city schools, and members of the school board. Vogel said Rea had not been approached on the subject. School board officials said they did not know how the report originated. All declared the work of A. L. (Pete) Phillips, Bloomington coach since 1928, has been highly satisfactory. In the state tournament this year his team won it’s first sectional since 1923 by defeating Martinsville, defending champion, but lost to Brazil in the regionals. Jasper went to the semi-finals at Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1934

Still partnered with young Paul Runyan of White Plains. N. Y., who had been a co-favorite w’ith Bobby, the latter found himself in a sixway tie for thirty-fifth place. He had a 76 for his first eighteen holes, four strokes above par and six strokes behind the three pace-set-ters, Horton Smith of New York, Emmett French of Southern Pines, and Jimmy Hines of Timber Point, N. Y. They had 70s to top the field of seventy-two. Ralph Stonehouse, Indianapolis, shot a 74 in the opening round. First Prize $1,500 This same field will continue, without elimination, the pursuit of the Masters’ title and the $1,500 first prize until dusk Sunday. And despite Jones’ confidence, the experts fear that the wizard of the fairways, who made a golfing grand slam in 1930, will not be the winner. They are certain that he will not unless he lifts his short game considerably. French, Smith and Hines blazed around the course in 70 and breathing on their necks with 71s were Henry Pickard of Charleston, S. C.; Craig Wood, blond driver from Deal, N. J.; Burly Johnny Golden of Norton, Conn,,, and the everlasting Walter Hagen of Detroit. One “Unknown” Right on their heels came Ky Laffoon, Denver, and Billy Burke, one-time national open champion. They had even par 725. In striking distance of the lead with 73s were Denny Shute of Philadelphia, British open titleholder; Leo Diegel. former national open champion, and the virtually unknown Joe Paletti of Chicago. The gallery will follow Jones and Runyan again today because this round may settle Bobby's chances of forging ahead or dropping out of the running Starting times for the field will be reversed today.

Records Forecast at Butler Relays Here Tomorrow; Ralph Metcalfe Is Out of Action

A bit of the luster of the second annual Butler Indoor Relays was dimmed today with verification of a report that Ralph Metcalfe and the Marquette university track squad will not perform here tomorrow. The Marquette Negro, “the world’s fastest human,” pulled a tendon in the Armour Tech relays last week, and further strained his leg by running in the Highlanders meet in Ontario Wednesday night. He has been forced to temporary retirement from competition on a physician’s orders. With Metcalfe out. the sixty-yard dash event at the fieldhouse tomorrow night will be a battle between another Negro flyer, Willis Ward of Michigan and Hermon of Carleton college, Fleming of Pitt and Ivan Fuqua of Indiana. When he learned that his star could not participate in the relays, Coach C. M. Jennings of Marquette withdrew his entire squad from the relays here. Thirty-five other colleges and universities will send almost four hundred athletes into the meet. Several records are virtually certain to be cracked in the competition here tomorrow'. There are two reasons for the near certainty of new marks being hung up. The first is that those now standing are the original records of the relays, w'hich w r ere inaugurated last year. And the second is that the cream of the country’s track performers will participate in the meet. There is no mark at present in the mile run, in which Glenn Cunningham of Kansas, Ray Sears of Butler, Charles Hombostel of Indiana, and many other stars are

Hurlers in Fine Form Tribe Pitfchers Show Progress at Evansville: Other Players Due. By Times Special EVANSVILLE. Ind., March 23 With the first week of spring training nearly completed, the Indianapolis batterymen and rookies are looking forward to the invasion of the Evansville camp by the regular infielders and outfielders and additional rookie talent. The second squad of Tribesmen is due to begin rolling into the Pocket city on Sunday, and by Monday Manager Red Killefer will begin the official count of noses to ascertain how many holdouts are going to worry him. Rookies Are Willing Some of the young candidates with the squad on hand, evidently put themselves in splendid condition before reporting. They have asked for no mercy and have done about everything possible along the lines of getting their arms, legs and wind in shape. Some of the pitchers are ready now to use a few curves, but have been cautioned to be careful until the return of mild weather. Red Wright, former Indiana university hurler. has been displaying promising form, and a young catcher named Lombordo also has impressed Killefer. Lombordo hails from the CCC camp at Jasper. Dick Harper. Evansville semi-pro outfielder, took a long workout yesterday and the Tribe boss gave him close attention. The boy is fast and evidently a sure fielder. Killefer is anxious to see what Harper does when he faces experienced pitching. All of the hurlers in camp went through long, easy workouts yesterday and Killefer said, “so far. so good.” Burwell May Leave It. was learned in camp that the veteran Bill Burwell. pitcher, is weighing an offer to become manager of a minor league club~and Manager Killefer of the Indians said he would not stand in Burwell’S path if the popular hurler desired to leave. Rain fell here this morning and the Tribe chieftain hesitated about taking the athletes to the park, but he said he would plan some sort of exercise to keep the boys active in the event the field could not be used.
