By Eddie Ash Cochrane Hustled Hard When Pea Green m m m Practiced Art Before Mirror at Night

jyjICKEY COCHRANE, alias Frank King, wormed one thousand bucks out of the Portland (Ore.), club of the Pacific Coast League when the agent of that team “discovered” him and signed him to a contract. Tom Turner, part owner of the Heavers, nearly came to blows with his partner. Bill Klepper, during an argument over the bonus given the green kid. Klepper objected and became furious, but Turner finally howled him down. Cochrane developed rapidly and the Beavers cleaned up a young fortune when the youngster was sold to the Philadelphia Athletics a couple of years later. Cochrane played under the name of Frank King with the Dover (Del.), team of the Eastern Shore League and was on that club when scout Turner happened along. Mickey held another year of eligibility at Boston university and for that reason covered himself up by using a different name as a professional. aaa a a a IT was after Labor day in 1923 With Cochrane in tow. Turner dropped off at Philadelphia before starting the Ion? trek to Portland, put a Philadelphia Athletics uniform on Mickey and had a postcard picture made H* ma.: r of the rookie to Billv Stepp, sports editor of the Portland News-Telegram. On the back of the card the following notation was scrawled: ....... . ‘ Catcher Gordon S. <Mickey) Cochrane, age 21. height 5 ft. 10 2 in., weight 175 hits left, very fast, strong throwing arm, aggressive, smart, best of haor- I predict this boy will be one of the best all-round catchers m baseball within two vears Hit .327 with Dover the past season." Turner prated himaeU to be a real judge of talent Less than two year- later Cochrane wa in the majors with the Athletics. He broke in the big leagues as a pinch hitter in the opening game of 1925, singled to drive in the winning run and has been shining from that day to this. a a a a a a BILLY STEPP the Portland sports editor, reviews Cochrane's deveolpment in the minors in the following yarn: ‘Cochrane was a green kid with the map of Erin for a face. He was as regular as they come, not at all fresh, and a good listener. But Mickey had every appearance of a flop in his first few workouts at training camp. He closed his eyes with each pitch. “Cochrane roomed with Tom Daly. Portland's No. 1 catcher and a fellow New Englander who smacked a home run for King George whpn the touring Giants and White Sox performed in London before the war.” a a a ana “/COCHRANE caught for the Portland regulars in the first practice game His first hit was a homer far over the center fielder's head. And how tha* k:d could run! Mickey kept trying and gradually improved as a backstop. He'd pose before a mirror in his room at night. With E>alv sitting there watching and instructing him. he'd get in the correct catcher's stance, and go through all the motions. I learned Michey’s principal incentive shortly before we broke camp. He asked me to drive him to Sacramento, explaining that he wished to see a sick friend. That afternoon I learned that he had married his sweetheart, who arrived that morning. a a a ana “IT wasn't until July that Cochrane really got started. It was Daly who A told Turner that the peagreen was ready, and Mickey never sat in the dugout again. Daly, the teacher, was dropped to No. 2 man. They say that Cochrane had to be remade in the big show. That s a lot of hooey. Mickey was a bom backstop and ball player, and you can bet that he still catches the same way he did when he handled the Portland pitchers ten years ago.”

All-Stars and Bears Tiein Grid Game at Chicago Noble Kizer's Team Surprises Chicago's Biggest Crowd of Year by Holding Pro Champs Helpless. BY DICK MILLER Tim*; Staff Writer. CHICAGO. Sept. 1 —Maybe you know the answer. If so you're in a better spot than any of the 79.500 football fans who saw the Chicago Bears and the All-Star college team play four periods of scoreless football at Soldiers fteld last night. Both teams had the opportunity of a lifetime to settle once and for all the question of collegiate versus professional ability on the gridiron. Both failed, althoush thp All-Stars piled up a total of yardage and first downs that convinced most of those who saw the game that the school boys can at least nolo their own with their mercenary brothers.

The largest crowd to see a sports event in Chicago this year packed the great stadium in Grant Park and it is safe to say that the vast majority took their seats expecting to see the professionals shove the collegians about at will. It is doubtful that they were disappointed, but certainly they were surprised, to see a group of youths gathered by popular vote from all sections of tne country banded into a team against wnich the world s champions of professional football were helpless. Krause Recovers Fumble The All-Stars stood with their backs to the wall in the second period when two successful passes punched them to their own 9-vard line and brought the spectators to their feet. Then Bill Hewitt, the vaunted Bruin end. fumbled a lateral pass from Ronzani and Ed Krause of Notre Dame recovered to end that threat. Again in the fourth period the Bears got the ball on their own 45vard line on an intercepted pass and advanced into college territory when *feisk slipped through the line for six yards Red Grange tossed the ball to Sisk, twenty-five yards distant, and it vras first down on the All-Stars 25-yard line. But that was all. The pros elected to try the college line and their every thrust was smeared. The All-Stars' greatest threat came in the third period when Bill Smith. Washington end. came so close to kicking a field goal from the 40-vard line that half of the crowd had the score chalked up. Joe Laws of lowa was the most consistent ground gainer, but Mike Mukulak of Oregon made the longest run of the evening when he returned the opening kick off forty-five yards in the second half. The All-Stars were coached by Noble Kizer of Purdue. The lineup and summary: BEARS AtX STARS. Hewitt L F Minsk*. Northern Lvir.an L T Krause C* N D Car’.soa L G Walton. Pittsburgh Miller C Bernard.

Beginning their last stand at Perry stadium, the Indians will oppose the Louisville Colonels tonight at 8:15 and it will be the opening tilt in the scramble for the leadership of the eastern division with a chance in the post-season play-off with the western winner at stake. Five games will be played with ken Penner's pastimers. Women will be admitted free tonight.

There will be a double-header tomorrow afternoon and a split twin bill on Monday, Labor day. Action on the Sabbath will start at 2 p. m. and on Monday at 3 p. m. and 8:15.

Following three series at home the Indians will go to Louisville on Sept. 14, 15 and 16 to wind up the schedule. Big new’s in the American Association yesterday w’as the defeat in twelve innings of the league-lead-ing Minneapolis Millers by St. Paul. The score was 9 to 8 and the Apostles scored eight runs in the seventh inning. The Millers are topping the second-place Milwaukee Brewers by six and one-half games. These clubs will tangle at Minneapolis on Sept. 4,5, 6, 7 and 8. Phil Todt, St. Paul first baseman, completed his fiftieth errorless game in succession and tied the American Association record. Manager Killefer of the Indians announced that all of his athletes are in good shape for the final games of the year except outfielder Johnny Cooney. Cooney has been of little service to the Tribe for a long stretch owing to a “charley horse.” He is not expected to play again this season.

She was named cup defender last night. Although the selection came as a stunning blow to the grizzled veteran. 69-year-old Charles Francis Adams, skipper of Yankee, it was not unexpected.

Hitting Slump Fails to Halt Mighty Giants Dizzy Dean Hurls Cardinals Into Tie With Chicago; Yankees Gain. BY THEON WRIGHT United Pre** Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. I.—There may be an eyebrow or two lifted when it becomes generally known that the world champion New York Giants batted, over the past week, at an exhilerating .154 clip. The fact is, Mr. Memphis Bill Terry’s world champions, have laid the wood to exactly twenty-three hits out of the last 154 times at batAs Mr. Terry himself points out, it isn't a slump—it’s an epidemic. But in spite of it all, the Giants are still nearly a half dozen games ahead of the league. In St. Louis and Chicago, where they have been watching the fortunes of the Giants with more than average interest, there is a tendency to give up hope. A team which only hits once in every eight tries and still stays five and a half games ahead, has what it takes—whatever that is. Pull Game Out of Fire Yesterday it was another case of pulling a game out of the heat. For six innings the eminent Van Lingle Mungo of Brooklyn, who has no peer in either league when it comes to dusting them off at the plate, was mowing the terrible Terrymen down almost in order. Three hits had been registered, none of them serious. Then Terry and Jackson put two together and tied the score. Even then it might not have been so bad. But Joe Moore bounced a queer one over third base, with so much backspin it hopped off at right angles into foul territory. While the Dodgers were chasing It. Joe took second.
