LILLARD TO RETURN AS HURLER

LEFT CUBS AS THIRD BASEMAN

GENE LILLARD will come back to the major league in 1938 as an experienced pitcher . . . The Chicago Cubs announced that Lillard would be recalled from the San Francisco Seals at the close of the season, but would not report to the Bruins until next spring . . . Lillard left the Cubs as a third baseman, but the Chicago club kept a string on him, waiting to see the result of his attempt to become a pitcher ... He has won 11 games and lost eight for the Seals.

un » »n » ” n JAYNE LAMASTER, the Hoosier southpaw with the lowly Phillies, deserves a lot of credit . . . He has won 12 games while losing the same number for a feeble team. . LaMaster hails from Sellersburg, Ind., and pitched for the seventh-place Louisville club last year, winning 13 games against 10 defeats . . . A desire to carn enough money to pay his way through Notre Dame was responsible for Joe Medwick’s entrance into league baseball . . . Success came so quickly to the New Jersey powerhouse that he never got around to matriculating at the Hoosier school . . . Bucky Harris says Charlie Gehringer of the Detroit Tigers was the best player as well as the easiest to

handle in his 13 years as a manager in the majors. ”n ” ” » n 8 NIL BRACK, the young outfielder with Brooklyn, started in baseball as a catcher and played shortstop before becoming a fly chaser. . . . Suey Welch, matchmaker for the Olympic Club in Los Angeles, has offered Lou Ambers, lightweight champion, $30,000 for a title match with Henry Armstrong, sensational Negro featherweight. , . . According to sports scribes close to the heavyweight situation the fight between Champion Joe Louis and Max Schmeling, whenever it 1s held, will not take place in New York. . . . It is said it will be Chicago or Philadelphia, with Chicago the favored site. u »n ” un n » UBS and Bees are to mix in a second double-header at Wrigley Field tomorrow. . Gabby Hartnett's most valuable baseball souvenir 1s the catcher’s glove he used in his first major league game. . . . Pete Coscarart, 22, Portland Ore., second sacker, has been sold for 1938 delivery to Brooklyn. . . . His brother Steve also is with Portland and another brother, Joe, now in the American Association, had a tryout with the Boston Nationals. . . . Johnny Newman, rookie outfielder owned by the Minneapolis Millers, has been optioned to Rocky Mount of the Piedmont League. . . . Rudy York has seen service at three positions with the Detroit Tigers this year, third base, the outfield and catch. .. . Maybe he'll be pitching next. ” » % u ASEY STENGEL, former Toledo and Brooklyn manager, will join A the New York Yankee chain next year, according to reports in the East . . . Tt is said the veteran will be placed in charge of the Yankees’ farm at Newark where Oscar Vitt has the Bears galloping off with the International League pennant . . . The plan is to shift Vitt to Kansas City, the latest addition to the Yankee chain . . , Dutch Zwilling probably will lose out, but he has many admirers, and Joe McCarthy, Yankee manager, is expected to find a place for the veteran pilot of the Blues . . . The American Association chapter of the Bas:bhali Writers’ Association went to the front for Zwilling when the Yankees announced the purchase of the Blues. n n ou n ” ”n AX BAER, who has fought both Joe Louis and Tommy Farr, says the Bomber is a cinch to beat the Britisher . . . “Farr bobs and weaves and is clever with a jab but he can't hit a lick,” the Californian told friends the other day ... Iowa has a football tackle who towers 6 feet 81% inches .. . He is Floyd De Heer .. Also listed as a candidate in the line is Fred Luebcke, whose poundage is 260. . . . Pop Warner and Jock Sutherland, two outstanding grid coaches, will sit on opposite sides of the field for the first time in 10 years in October, 1938, when the Pitt Panthers invade Temple University's staidum for the first football tussle between the Pennsylvania schools. . . . Sutherland learned the game as a tackle under Old Fox.

Timex Special Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—You may want to know something about

Mike Jacobs, the man who has tied up the fight game tighter than it has even been before by any other individual or combination of individuals. When Jacobs took over the fight dates of Madison Square Garden the other day he became, thanks to his other holdings in this rowdy business, the fight game | itself. Not even Tex Rickard in his heyday exercised a more complete monopoly of the militant cauliflower, Whether this will work out for the best remains to be | seen. It probably will.
