OTT MAY TRY OUT AS PITCHER

SEEKS TO PROLONG MAJOR LIFE

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1937

Now that Mel Ott has turned in a fair job of third-bas-ing for the New York Giants the Louisiana product is thinking of trying his hand as a pitcher. . . . He is practicing the art of chucking off the mound and may he given a chance to start a big league game next month if his club is eliminated from the pennant running. . . . Ott came to the majors as a catcher, was made over into an outfielder and also has had experience at second base. Due to the fact his batting eye is not what it used to be, Mel believes it wise to experiment on the rubber as a means of prolonging his baseball career. . . . Manager Bill Terry of the Giants has encouraged him to give it a try. ... He batted .328 last vear but his average is down to .255 this season and it's apparently true that his days as a top flight hitter have passed. . .. He crashes a home run now and then, but no big league club is likely to retain an outfielder or third baseman who is no better than a .255 sticker.

By United Press WICHITA, Kas, Aug. 18.—The Duncan, Okla. Cementers, defending champions of the National Semipro Baseball Tournament, were trimmed by the Wichita Waters last night after a day of play that saw two favorites advance. The score was 4-2. The local team was in the tournament by invitation only. It finished second to the Kansas City Police in the state tournament. The Enid, Okla., Eason Oilers and the Buford, Ga. team that won second place last year, advanced in yesterday's play.

He blanked Washington, 8-0, allowing | only three hits. Only seven men | | got on base, and only one of them reached third.

Joe Louis’ enthusiasm for baseball carries beyond the daily performances of his home-town Detroit Tigers. . .. The heavyweight champion, like some of his illustrious predecessors, particuiarly James _ J. Corbett, loves to play baseball. . Playing catch has long becn Joe's chief source of recreation in his fight camps, breaking the rather rigorous program of specified training exercises. Louis has four baseball gloves in camp... . A bai decorates a corner of the main vestibule, but it is seldom used. .. . Neither is a regulation leacue baseball which the champion brought to camp. He plaved with it for a few days and then it was ruled out of his exercising by Managers Julian Black and John Roxborough after a conference with Trainer Jack Blackburn. . . . They decided that if Joe must do some pitching and catching it would be with a soft ball. “We can’t afford to take a chance on a finger being knocked out
