By Eddie Ash' Cherokee Boh Johnson on Way to Fame m m m Bush Mentioned as Next Pilot of Cuhs

B°b JOHNSON, the new home run sensation of the major leagues, is a modest pastimer and in that respect resembles Chuck Klein, the Indianapolis pellet thumper with the Chicago Cubs. Smacking the horsehide over the fence has not put any swell in Bob’s head and Connie Mack thinks his new slugger is destined to become one of the greats of be seball. He is built for endurance, standing 5 feet 11 and weighing 190. Moreover, Johnson has good speed, a strong arm and a fine pair of hands. Bob’s brother Boy is with the Boston Red Sox and both are jly chase > four years younger and is 25. He did not take up professional baseball until he was 21 and is just beginning to reach his playing peak. The Johnsons were bom on a ranch in Oklahoma and Cherokee blood courses through their veins. Roy lists his nationality as Norwegian, Swedish and Indian, but Bob merely puts down ‘‘American. ’ Bob is proud of the redskin angle. a a a a a a JIMMY FOXX .says Bob Johnson Will bo a main factor in the construction of the "new Athletics" and expresses the opinion that Connie Mack will produce with another pennant winner by 1938. Johnson hit twenty-one homers in 1933 and has surpassed that mark at midseason this year. Hi idol cn the team naturally iis Foxx, and Bob predicts Jimmy will lead the major leacue home run parade again this season. Foxx struck off forty-eight last year. H;s best mark was in 1932 when he socked fifty-eight, two short of Babe Ruth's record. Johnson is not bon -tfu! and ay he has no idea of clouting a circuit drive when he goes to the plate. He explains; ' I tak my signals from the bench, and if the signal calls for slugging the ball, I let go and blast if I can.’’ a a a a a a JOHNSON joined the Athletics in 1931. but was weak on curve balls and was returned to Portland of the Pacific Coast League. He stayed with Portland the remainder of the 1931 sea on and all of 1932. He collected twenty-six homer;- with the Beavers in 1932 and batted .340. This led Connie Mack to recall the red. kin for the 1933 campaign, after outfielders Mule Haas and A1 Simmons had been sold with infielder Jimmy Dykes to the White Sox. Bob was placed under the tutelage of Bing Miller, veteran Mackian outfielder, and Bing gradually taught the youngster how to hit curve balls as well as confidence. Miller always was an outstanding curve ball hitter. Johnson batted .290 in 1933 with the Athletics and he has improved that figure and al o has increased his slugging average. Bob attributes his success in the game "to pointers given him by his grother Roy, Bing Miller. Connie Mack and Jimmy Foxx. Johnson's homer total today was twenty-four, the same number on the 1934 record of Foxx. a a a a a a THE rumor factory says Owen Joseph Bush of Indianapolis, the peppery pilot of the slipping Minneapolis Millers, will be the next manager of the Chicago Cubs, if Charlie Grimm is removed. Grimm has been reported fired so many limes this year that it's old stuff, but he's still at the head of the Bruins and they are in second place. However, the lumor factory says that “in the event” Grimm is dismissed Bush will be in line for the post. It js said the California influence backing Jack Lohvelt as No. 1 man to succeed Grimm has last some of its punch and that Bush has collected a lot of support. The Indianapolis product already has piloted four big league clubs and it is know’ll he is eager for another opportunity with a major outfit—of his own choice. He is through with tackling losing clubs such as the Chicago White Sox and the Cincy Reds. His other jobs in the majors were with Washington and Pittsburgh. He also piloted Indianapolis three years. Jack Lelivelt, former manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, is pilot of Los Angeles, a Chicago Cub Class AA enterprise. a a a a a a BASEBALL fans in Indianapolis who ‘relaxed” yesterday instead of celebrating kept in close touch with the results of games in the American Association and it was just like tinkering with a crossword puzzle. When Minneapolis lost the morning game to St. Paul the Millers lost the league lead and Indianapolis and Columbus advanced to the top, tied. In the afternoon the Columbus victory over Toledo put the Red Birds in undisputed possession of first place as the Indians last the first half of the double-header to Louisville. Columbus then rested until night for its second game. In the meantime Minneapolis dropped its afternoon tilt to the Saints for another slide and Indianapolis regained points when it thumped the Colonels in the second game at Louisville. In order to end the Fourth of July in a tie for first place, however, the Indians had to pull for Toledo, and the Hens produced, defeating Columbus at night. a a a a a a IT was a tremendous turnout of cash customers at Columbus yesterday. The afternoon contest was witnessed by 14.000 and the night game by 36,624, for a total of 30.624 paid attendance. The old A. A. record for one day is 28.973. established in Kansas City. Aug 28. 1927. The K. C. mark was posted at an afternoon double-header, whereas at Columbus it was a split twin bill, day and night, with double admission.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1934

It s a wild scramble from top to bottom in the A. A. and is proving to be one of the closest pennant fights in the long history of the league. The Indians will end the series in Louisville under the lights tonight and then hit the western trail, opening in Kansas City on Saturday. Tomorrow will be an off day for the Killefer pastimers. Pitchers Change Teams The Indians and Colonels completed a player swap yesterday afternoon. Jack Tising, Tribe righthander. was traded to the Derbytown brigade for Phil Weinert, veteran southpaw. Neither pitcher will be used in the game here tonight, the managers agreed. Tising has been serving as a relief hurler chiefly, although he also was listed on the Tribe staff as a starting hurler. Weinert has not been enjoying much success with the Colonels, but Manager Killefer feels the need of another southpaw and is confident Phil will be of more value than Tising. Vance Page hurled the first tilt for the Redskins yesterday and he was opposed by Clyde Hatter. Hits were eleven for the losers and ten for the winners, but the Indians were unable to bunch their blows against the Louisville lefty. Hatter fanned six and Page one. Johnny Cooney led the Tribe attack with two doubles. Eight Runs in Ninth In the second conflict the early part of the contest was close, but the Indians stepped out later and piled up hits and runs. Tony Cotelle smacked the pellet for five blows, including two doubles. Jack Sherlock got four hits and Sigafoos and Washington three each. The Hoosiers staged a wild rally in the ninth and scored eight markers to boost their total to seventeen. Lefty Bob Logan pitched shutout ball after entering the game in the fifth inning. Butzberger was knocked out of the box and Chamberlain was removed for a pinch hitter. Butzberger, Cooney and Logan walloped triples for the Hoosiers. TRIBE BATTING FIGURES AB H Pet.

Giants Cop Two From Braves to Widen Margin; All Other Clubs Except Macks Split Athletics Down Senators Twice: Cards Take Temporary Hold on Second Place in National, Then Lose in Nightcap: Foxx Tied for Homer Lead. BY THEON WRIGHT United Tress Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July s.—The Fourth of July, favorite day for baseball seers, has passed and superstitious managers got very little comfort out of it, with the exception of William Terry and his New York Giants. The Giants, using fat Freddy Fitzsimmons and Carl Hubbell, two flossy pitching fellows, parted the Braves in the middle in a pair of exhibitions that will do nothing to encourage optimism among rival contingents. Asa result, the Giants swing into the last half of the season three games ahead, and hitting on about fifteen cylinders.

None of the other clubs in either loop added much prestige. The Yankees, leading the junior circuit, split with the Red Sox and stayed a full game ahead of the Detroit Tigers, who were experiencing a similar event with Cleveland. Save for the Senators, who were operated on twice by Connie Mack's Athletics, all other teams broke even. Hubbell Ilurls Shutout Fat Frederick started the Giants on their way, doling out six rather measly hits and beating the Braves, 9-1. Lefty O'Doul, with a homer, and Travis Jackson, with a double, led their fellow stooges in able supporting roles, which were even more able in the second game. With Hubbell holding all opposing batters at second base, the Giants shut out the Braves, by the modest margin of 15 to 0. Ott hit two homers. The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cards, nearest rivals of the Giants, engaged in a shakedown affair, the Cards taking a temporary clutch on second place by winning the first, 6-2, but losing it before nightfall as Jim Weaver trounced them handily in the second game, also 6-2. The Pittsburgh Pirates started well, knocking off the Cincinnati Reds in the morning, 5-1, abetted by two costly foozles perpetrated by Slade and Bottomley of the Redlegs. Paul Derringer tamed them in the afternoon game, 4-3.
