By Eddie Ash PIRATES TRAIN AT ‘CAMP LUXURY* m m m LIFE FOR THEM IS REALLY SOFT
TANARUS". F - Pirates bold of Pittsburgh are lolling in luxury at San Bernardino, Cal. High in the mountains, at a scenic show place, the Smoky City ball players pick oranges and lemons, lounge in the tavern lobby or on the veranda, eat aplenty and of course they play ball every day as long as three hours! Billiards and golf also are played and many times the baseball slaves take scenic trips. Manager Pie Traynor compels the hired hands to work hard during a three-hour drill, but they are in perfect health and three hours substractea from 21 leaver 21 hour- for sleep, meals and pleasure. This kind of >pnng outing may help in the Ion? run. but there is alwav danger of the pastimers forming a habit of doing nothing. The Inriinnapolg club learned in several trips to Florida that the players had thnr mirri- on bathing beach parties, fishing trips and golf sessions more than on th r ball training routine They couldn't get dressed fast enough to light out on a pleasure jaunt. On a roupi of spring Journeys to the Sunshine state five weeks of training found the pitchers too feeble for any of the staff to go nine Jnrunp Th< Hoosiers were fairly successful last spring after tuning up in Evansville ami Manager Red Killefer believes the Tribesmen will show better pro;r. -i .Homing four weeks’ stay for the battery men and three Weeks for the others in Mayfield, Ky., this year.
ba m a That f*lai / at Third Detroit Tigers are unable to ■*- settle the controversy over the route taken by the ball thrown by outfielder Jo Jo White in the last 1934 world series game when Joe M dwirk of the Cardinals was banished from the field. One group says the throw from outfielder Jo Jo White went direct to third baseman Marvin Owen and another group say; the throw was cut off by Shortstop Dill Rowell At any rate Owen is ready to contfi that he stepped on Medwick sliding in accidentally. Medwick then kicked at Marvin and the crowd started throwing things. Marvin declares the threw was wide and that in reaching for it his foot came down on Med wick’s leg. Rogeil swears the ball never reached Owen. The Detroit shortstop explains that he intercepted the throw, saw that there was no chance for a play and kept the sphere. "I walked over to third when it looked like a fight, but did not hand the ball to Owen " Now for Owen ‘The ball came wide to me. and I thought it came on a long h % ave from White.” Trmmy Bridges. Tiger pitcher, who backed up the play, says Owen handled the ball and tossed it to bun. m m a Opinions of Tif/ers HERE'S the way the Tigers line . up on the controversy: Ball went to Owen—Manager Cochrane. Coach Baker, Hogsett. Sorrell. Waker, Bridges. Owen. Never reached Owen Rowe. Greenberg. Hayworth. Marberrv. Coach Perkins and Trainer Carroll. Cut off by Rogeil and relayed— Ca -1 Fischer. "Tie argument was brought up d.-mg the winter by Will Rogers, t ie -omedtan. who claimed that the throw never reached Owen. Rogers, a .spectator at the game, declared Rogeil cut it off. Di77,y Dean sided with Rogers when Manager Frankie Fnx'h of the Cardinals questioned Will's memory and declared that

The argument is still raging in spring training camps and never will be settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. Anyway, it now appears that Ducky Wucky Medwick had good reason to kick at Owen. Ducky felt Marvin's spikes on his leg and lashed back.

Louisville southpaw, has made a hit in the camp of the Detroit Tigers and indications are that he will make the big league grade. He was especially effective in the American Association the latter part of the 1934 season. Hatter lives at Popular Hill. Ky. Clyde won eight games and lost 11 last season, which is a poor record, but the earned run average against him was only 3.39. Manager Mickey Cochrane likes Hatter’s overhand fast ball and southpaw curve. Moreover, says Mickey, the Louis- i ville graduate acts like a seasoned l campaigner. nun The I 'neashed Check Babe Herman, the outfielder with Pittsburgh, was with the Chicago Cubs last year. His 1934 j salary called for a lot of money. Not long ago. while in camp with the Pirates at San Bernardino, Herman was looking over some papers in his trunk and scratched around and found a check for SI4OO. The check represented Babe's pay for the last two weeks of the 1934 season with the Bruins. He had forgotten about it and it had been stored in the trunk all winter. It isn’t oftrn that a person forgets SI4OO. but Babe Herman is that way. Holding out on himself! GIVEN ST. VIATOR POST BOURt’CNNAIS. 111..
