What was he riding, a shuttle train? un un on n » n N 1935 Lewis reduced his galloping and only played on two clubs, Houston and Bloomington, while 1936 was spent at Asheville, Portsmouth, Va., and Durham. . .. It is said Indianapolis is actually his 20th assignment 1n seven years and his 14th team. . .. The St. Louis Cardinal chain kept him on the jump for five years and last season the Cincy Reds pushed him here and there. Whitehead’s batting average was .303 in 1936. . . . He banged out 27 doubles, six triples, five home runs and stole 16 bases. ... The right-handed thrower and batter is 23 years old, stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 165. n 8 n n n n

aon MANDERS, a pitcher with the Universily of Iowa nine, has caused a commotion among big league scouts and they are jostling eath other trying to “interview” him. . It so happens that Manders is a cousin of Bob Feller and in six innings against St. Louis University the other day struck out 10 and allowed only four hits, Harold bears a resemblance to Bob, being the same height and weight. He had this to say of his famous cousin, “Every time we went over to the Feller farm near Van Meter, Towa, Bob and his dad would be playing catch. If it was summer time they'd be out on a lot, but if it was winter, they'd be warming up in the barn.” n n n n n n REY COUNT, the surprise winner of the Louisiana Derby in senJ sational time, was not nominated for the Kentucky Derby. . . .

Carl Hubbell, the screw ball king, and young Bob Feller are scheduled to clash on the mound for a few innings. . .. It will be their first meeting when directly opposed. . “Some” Feller fanned six Giants in three innings last Sunday. . . .

votes for Chicago. If the Windy City gets the 1938 event, Indian-

Cleveland is also in line for the next tournament, but because of its Eastern location, Chicago is expected to get the nod from midWest and Western cities. The Indianapolis delegation, with the exception of King, is to leave the city tonight for the Eastern journey. King has been in New York since Sunday aiding congress officials in preparations for the annual gathering. Al Lattin of the 1936 host city is to become president at the meeting and King automatically moves up to third vice president.
