CHIPS OFF THE OLD BLOCK

Sons of For wer Big League Stars Cat ry on

By RICHARD M'CANN NEA Sports Writer

INEUPS for today’s game. ... Wally Pipp, first base; Eddie Collins, second base; George Sisler, pitching; Jimmy Dykes, third base. ...”

No, this isn’t the batting order for an old-timers’ reunion—it’s part of thé. roll call of sons of baseball fathers who are trying to trudge along the trial blazed by their illustrious pappies in other days. You know, there's an old saying that sons never follow their dads up to the welcome mat at the baseball Hall of Fame. ; Christy Mathewson's son became ban aviator; Ty Cobb Jr. is a college tennis coach; Connie : Mack Jr. was a great basketball player; Earle Mack, the Old Master's other son, was a minor leaguer; and Big Ed Walsh's boy was considerably less than a rousing success as a pitcher with the Chicago White Sox. But today’s generation seems different, From this and that college and prep school campus comes word of sons shining brightly at daddy's old game.

u ” dd

COLLINS JR. seems to be | about the best of the chips off the. | old blocks right now. The chubby- | cheeked son-of the general manager of the Boston Red Sox has worked out with the major leaguers in spring training and on other occasions and has developed into quite a ball player.

Although only a sophomore, he is the star of the Yale University nine. Like his dad, he is a second baseman and he's harder to put out than a six-alarm fire.

The other day, for instance, in his first game for Old Eli he went to bat six times and collected five hits and one walk and scored six runs to .set two records for the Intercollegiate League. Never before, had a “batter gotten five for five, and never before had anybody scored six runs in one game, And then there is George Sisler Jr., up at Colgate University. Papa Sisler, one of the game's greatest batters and first basemen, was a pitcher in his college days at Michigan. So is son George. Unlike his father, however, young George is a right-hander. There is, incidentally, nothing hereditary about being left-hand-ed or right-handed. As another example, Wally Pipp, Jr. does everything right-handed while the old man, who played quite a bit of first base for the New York Yan-

with his stablemate Military. Pompoon, the favorite until he | was defeated last week in the Wood | Memorial, was held at 8-1 along with Melodist, Wood winner. Only one jockey who has won a Derby will have a leg up tomorrow. He is Charley Kurtsinger, who rode Twenty Grand to victory in 1931 and will ride War Admiral tomorrow. Of the 20 named today, Burning Star seemed to be the only one which might not start. Bernard F., I. J. Collins’ colt, was the only one without a jockey. Eight in Final Workouts

Eight horses had final workouts | today over a slow track. Pompoon did a quarter in :23 2-5, | three-eighths in :35, and the half in :48. He was well in hand with Harry

. Richards up.

Fairy Hill stepped five-eighths in 1:01 3-5. Military and Reaping Re- | ward loafed along to breeze six furlongs in 1:17, and the half in 150 2-5.

War Admiral did a half in :50 3-5 |

“ and Dellor turried the same distance |

in +49 2-5. No Sir was in a running mood gand knocked off three-eighths | in :33 4-5. Billionaire gladdened his backefs=with a nice run of five fur- | longs in 1:02 |

ALTER JOHNSON JR. was given a ‘trial. as a pitcher by the Philadelphia Athletics ‘in 1936 and found wanting, but brother Eddie is trying to uphold the family name. Eddie is no pitcher, but he is a hard-hitting outfielder for the University of Maryiand team. Major league scouts are watching him. Down in Tuscaloosa, the mainstay of the University of Alabama pitching staff is Hugh Bedient, a right-hander. Twenty-five years ago his dad defeated the vaunted Mathewson twice in the Red SoxGiants world series. soe -year-old Jimmy Dykes , son of the Chicago White Sox Se is the baby of the pres-. ent bunch. Young Dykes plays the infield, just. like his dad, for Malvern (Pa.) Prep School. His little brother, Charles, 13, plays second at St. Denis Parochial School, in Oakmont, Pa. The star first baseman of the Dartmouth College team is Charles Tesreau, 20-year-old son of Jeff Tesreau, hero of numerous mound duels for the old New York Giants.

the climax, a phrase taken from the Greeks of the Neo-Londos period. To get the best results with a hat it is advisable to| have another party do the drawings. Whenever possible tnis party should ‘be a giggly female with a sharp, hysterical laugh. Somenow this seems to provide the desired note for the whole insane business.

Oh! The Hunch System

This department, no longer possessing allure of a Gable, was

| unable to secure the services even {of a giggly female and in the end was forced to collaborate with a taxicab driver who literally picked the race in this manner: Heelfly, Billionaire and Sceneshifter. And now we come to the. hunch

course, is in selecting the most effective system — the one’ that will win for you. If you follow the form system, War Admiral is your horse; if you are a stabber, Reaping Reward is the one, a picker-out-of-

{ hats, then Heelfly.

This difficulty is less trying to those of us on the grounds. I mean it is six, two and even that, no matter what horse we finally decide on, we will wind up getting touted off just before: the race starts. It always works out that way, and generally for the worse. But, as I always say, what's the use of being daffy if you can't be screwy?

Tribe Mound Work Weak

8-2 Lead Blown in Tilt With Brewers.

Times Special MILWAUKEE, May 7.—Pushed down in the standing inte a tie with Columbus for fourth place, the Indianapolis Indians may have to take immediate steps to bcister their mound staff. The Tribe has played two games on the Western trip and has seen two leads fade away, both in Kansas City on Wednesday and out at the local Borchert Field yesterday. In K. C. the Hoosiers had a 3-run advantage rubbed out and in the opener with the Brewers built up an 8-to-2 lead only to lose when the A. A. champions kept pecking away

Gullic and Mickey Heath, g former Indian, both in the sixth inning, after two down, wrecked the Killeferites. Series Finale Tomorrow Lefty Bob Logan was expected to pitch for the Tribesters today in an attempt to put the team back on stride. The series will close tomorrow and shortly after the Saturday tilt: the Hoosiers will depart for Minneapolis to grapple with the slugging Millers on Sunday. - Four hurlers took’a hand in facing the Brewers yesterday and three were bumped hard; Emmett Nelson, Lloyd Johnson and Tom Gallivan. Red Phillips worked the eighth after Bob Latshaw batted for Gallivan and fanned with a runner on second. ; That sixth inning had Manager Killefer storming in the dugout. Bluege singled after one out and Glynn also singled. Keltner forced Glynn and then Gullic crashed a homer over the short left field fence, scoring Bluege and Keltner ahead of himself, which tied the score at 9-all. Heath duplicated Gullic’s homer, directing it over the right field barrier, The blow removed Johnson from the box and Gallivan relieved. Storti immediately doubled and scored on Helf's single before the side was retired.

‘Two Tribe Homers

It was enough. The Indians were held scoreless the remainder of the game, although they threatened .in the eighth and ninth. A double, walk and infield hit failed to get them a marker in the eighth and | in the last frame two Tribe singles | were wasted. | Danny Taylor and Salty Parker | hit home runs for the Indians but the bases were “empty each time. Four runs by Milwaukee| in the | fourth caused Emmett Nelson to leave the premises. The Hoosiers knocked Al Milnar out of [the box | in the third stanza when they staged a 5-run rally and Ralph
