TWO YOUNG PLAYERS SIGNED BY REDSKINS

Budge Collapse May Cause Tennis Moguls

Mid- Atlantic League Stars Join Roster

Clay Smith, Hurler, and

James Pofahl, Shortstop, New Acquisitions.

Acquisition of two more young ball players was announced today by Leo Miller, Indianapolis Indians’ general manager. They are Clay Smith, right-handed pitcher, and James Pofahl, a shortstop and second baseman. Both played with the Springfield, O., club of the Mid-Atlantic League iast season. Smith, who is 23, and stands 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 190, won 16 games and lost 13 in 1937, and finished fourth in the league in the earned run averages with a mark of 324 His high rating in the earned run statistics led the Indianapolis management to snap him up. The Mid-Atlantic is a strong Class C loop In 1936, Smith topped the Northern League (Class D) pitchers with a record of 15 victories and five defeats and struck out 158 in 164 innings. His MidAtlantic strikeout record was 144 in 214 innings. Smith's home is Cambridge, Kas. Hit 13 Home Runs

Infielder Pofahl is 21, stands 5 feet 11 inches, and scales 170 pounds. He batted .294 in 128 games last year and his safeties included 25 doubles, six triples and 13 home runs. Pofahl increased his average by 22 points in a year's time and from Class D to C. He played in the Northern League in 1936, where he led the shortstops in fielding. The infielder played second base last season and displayed considerable speed on the paths by stealing 19 times. He resides at Fairbault, Minn. General Manager Miller explained that the signing of a flock of young

players does not mean the Indians {are going to open the 1938 cam- { paign with a team of inexperienced

youngsters, but does mean the club is not overlooking any bets on players whose records in the little minors justify promotion.

Schalk Tackles Problems

“Most of them will be farmed to Class B or A later, but they'll help us in spring training and through the hard exhibition schedule,” Mr. Miller said. “Under the conditions confronting the Indians seasoned players of Class AA caliber are out of the picture until the big league clubs start unloading in the spring.”

Big Salary Cut

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 14 (U. P.).—The St. Louis Cardinals today offered Dizzy Dean, right-handed pitching ace, a 1938 contract calling for $10,000—less than half the salary paid him last year when he won 13 and lost 10 games for his worst season in the majors. Disclosure of contract terms was made by Branch Rickey, vice president of the Red Birds. At the same time Mrs. Dean announced in Florida that the contract would not be signed. “I'm sorry, but we did not send Mrs. Dean a contract,” Rickey said. “If Dizzy says he will not sign that’s another story but we expect him to come to terms.” Dean is said to have received $25,500 in 1937.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—The strategy the United States Lawn Tennis people employed to save Mr. J. Donald Budge from the slimy tentacles of sordid professionalism was effective at the outset—but it is beginning to backfire. You may have heard of Mr. Budge. I believe he is known as the carrot top in the better court circles. Well, he was supremely the nuts in tennis last year and practically single - handedly brought the Davis Cup back to America. This made him a pretty important gazabo and excellent box office meat for the professional promoters. But the tennis people aren't as dumb as they look. You should never confuse dumbness with Germantown ennui. Year after year the tennis people had been watching the professional promoters raid their stars, and murmuring sadly,

Williams

“My, my, my. The bounders have done it again.” They lost Tilden, Richards, Lott, Vines and others. This time they resolved not to lose Mr. Budge. So what did they do? They fixed him up all nice and comfy for a boat ride to Australia. Goodby, goodby. goodby. This would keep him away from the oily mercenaries and save him for another year's play in the cup matches. When Mr. Budge sailed for Australia he was about as fresh as Kilrain and Sullivan must have been after those 75 rounds down in the Mississippi redlands; he had been playing tennis since last January. He started that early so as to get in shape for the major championships. This would be something like Carl Hubbell starting to warm up in April for a specific World Series assignment. Mr. Budge carried the American team through the whole series of cup matches, dominating the play against Japan, Australia, Germany and Great Britain. On top of this he won the Wimbledon and the American championships. After all that tennis you'd think a fellow wouldn't want to look a

months, wouldn't you? Maybe the Californian didn’t. But a trip to Australia can be very tempting to a youngster. And the tennis people knew they had to do something to frustrate the predatory pros. And you can’t blame them for protecting their own interests, can you? Well, that's how Mr. Budge happens to be in Australia now, as you have heen told before, and it helps to explain the recent news dispatch that the young man suffered some sort of physical letdown and was commanded to rest.
