By GEORGE KIRKSEY | United Press Staff Correspondent | NEW YORK, May 6.—Before the season opened the ball players had | a saying—'on arms and legs Pittsburgh has the best team in the National League, but they won't win the pennant.” I] | But that was before Pie Traynor read the riot act to the Pirates at | the San Bernardino, Cal., training camp. : 2 | Traynor's warning had «the desired effect and Pittsburgh is off to its fastest start since 1927. The Pirates have won nine out of 11 games and are setting a dizzy pace many experts believe will bring Pittsburgh anot er flag after a lapse of 10 years.

Softball Star Develops Into Major Player

Henrich Switches to ‘Hard’ Game and Climbs to New Heights.

(Photo, Page 27)

HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor NEW YORK, May 6.—Baseball men differ in opinion regarding softball’s relationship to variety. George Harold Sisler, first baseman who is in ball business in St. Louis,

immortal the softsays that

Ja hard ball prospect gets absolutely

nothing out of the playground brand of game. Joe Cronin, manager of the Boston Red Sox, and others point out that stepping from softball to baseball is quite natural. “The youngster starts to play softball,” explains Cronin. “Then he goes to a professional game to see how the stars play his position. The result is that he soon turns to the more difficult sport.’ Well, anyway, those who fear that softball, a game that has taken the nation by storm, would create an even more acute shortage of baseball talent, can get some consolation out of the fact that Thomas David Henrich, newest recruit of the New York Yankees, is a product of softball. “The Canton-Massillon region of Ohio, where I hail from, is a football hotbed,” says Henrich, who got $20,000 for signing with the Rupperts when Judge Landis declared him a free agent on the ground that Cleveland had “covered him up.” “But as my folks said nix on football, I just ‘played ball—softball mostly—when I was young. “Ice hockey was about the only other game I went in for. We played it, just informally, on a reservoir. My father used to play: hockey on a team with the late umpire, Cy Rigler. “Pop monkeyed around some too, in baseball, in an amateur way. He is a contracting plasterer now, and doing well enough, so he won't need to borrow any-%f my bonus money.” Henrich reported to the Yankees a little shy on training. Henrich is one of the mighty few

who come up to the majors after a strictly softball start. While in high school he was a member of a Massillon softball team in 1931 and

32. He played in the outfield and pitched and his older brother, Edward, was the first baseman. - Henrich might never have played baseball had not the custodian of a $200 fund, collected by passing the hat for the team with which he played and which won a Massillon
