Slaughter!

Slaughter’s on top of the 2-M hookup not because his .382 in the Association was higher than .374 or 364, but because he’s a lefthand hitter, with speed in his feet, as _ attested by 18 stolen bases last year, making him a “natural” for the No. 3 spot when there's a Medwick handy “for the cleanup niche. . . . “Ducky Joe” knocked 154 runs over the plate last year and with a .382 hitter ahead of him he’d have knocked home many more. - Just what figure that A. A. .382 will pay off in the National League belongs among the stories to be written later on this summer, but on past performance young Enos has a well-developed habit of improving every year.

Likely Choice For Hill Duty

Tribe Again Comes From Behind to Sweep Series Against Millers.

By EDDIE ASH Having achieved what constitutes a miracle for an Indianapolis ball team—sweeping a series from the Minneapolis Millers—the galloping Indians turn their attention to the invading St. Paul Saints today who open a three-game set at Perry Stadium. The undefeated Redskins are eXpected to use Red Phillips on the mound and the Apostles’ chucker will be Art Herring. Manager Babe Ganzel’s nine was defeated in its only start at Louisville but the team has a mixture of youngsters and. veterans and has balance. : Ray Schalk’s hustling gang came through with another sparkling victory yesterday and edged the Millers 4-3, much to the discomfiture of

and poppng as the Hoosiers rallied

out of town. Miller Boss Upset

He said, “Maybe we haven’t got a thing, maybe it’s a jinx, or maybe the Indians have been underrated. Anyway, it's tough to drop an entire series, particularly the first one of a new campaign. Mark my word, though, youll be hearing from us later!” . On the other hand the Indians were jubilant and singing the praises of Mike McCormick and Jimmy Pofahl, 20-year-old newcomers. It was McCormick who bounced a home run off the scoreboard in the ninth to tie the score at 3-all and it was Pofahl who blasted a double to center which drove in Buck Fausett with the winning marker. It was a screaming finish and upset the Millers no end. Coming up for the last time and with the score 3-2 in Minneapolis’ favor, one tremendous sock by McCormick changed the picture. He caught one of Jim Henry's offerings and it sailed to the scoreboard, took one bounce and out of the park. A ground rule last year would have held the blow to a double, so McCormick reaped the benefit of a change of the stadium code. The drive carried about 375 feet and was a smashing wallop. It was the fourth homer in three days for the home team. Grabowski Goes In The homer deadlocked the score at 3-all. Fausett worked Henry for a pass and Reggie Grabowski took up the Minneapolis pitching. Lewis sacrificed and Latshaw batted for Don French and drew.an intentional walk. It was up to young Pofahl and he delivered with a long smash to left center which tallied Fausett, ending the fracas. Pofahl’s belt was good for three bases but since the winning run was on second, it was chalked as a double. Minneapolis gained a 3-0 lead off Lloyd Johnson and it wasn’t until the sixth that the Tribe got to Henry for a brace of markers. He lost control in that round and dished out two walks and hit a batsman. Doljack batted in one run on an infield out and McCormick’s single accounted for the other. Johnson dropped out for a pinch

in and blanked the Millers the remainder of the distance, or four innings. Hits were a scarce article—six apiece—but each team hit for extra bases three times. Henry sort of put the halter on

holding him to a single and a walk in four appearances. The Hoosier outfielder managed to stay in the limelight, however, by scoring one run and handling five chances in the pasture. He has collected nine hits in 13 times at bat for an average of .692. One run against Johnson was put on base by an error and was unearned. French’s relief pitching was of high caliber and he fielded his position in expert fashion by accepting four chances.

Feud With Frisch Blamed

For Dizzy’s

By HENRY

Sale to Cubs

M’LEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 19—On Aug. 26 of last year, in ‘the city of Philadelphia, Dizzy Dean made two startling pitches with a baseball

that: definitely ended his chances Cardinals.

The fatal pitches were the first inning of a game with the Phillies.

Sores back of home plate and the second barely missed the press box. If you will turn back to the papers of the morning of the 27th you will read that Dean pitched to only one batter in that game, and that night was shipped off to St. Louis on the grounds that his arm had gone bad again. But his arm wasn’t quite that

bad. Four days before he had

pitched well to defeat the Pirates,

9 to 7. Dizzy didn’t want to pitch against the Phillies that day. As he wasn’t speaking to Manager Frankie Frisch—hadn’t been speaking to him in weeks, in fact—his wishes were conveyed to the manager through Coach Mike Gonzales. But Frisch was adamant. So Dizzy, with a final “Well, he wants me to pitch anyway, eh!” walked out on the hill and let fly. L This rather bitter little scene in the City of Brotherly Love was mild in comparison, however, to the storm that broke out in the St. Louis clubhouse a week or SO later when the Cardinals came in off the road. A man who was there has deseribed the meeting of the Gas House Gang to me, and it must have been a sweetheart. With the team assembled, including Dean, Frisch strode in and said: “No matter what you might have heard to the contrary, I will be the manager of this team in 1938. Furthermore, I have heard reports that some of you players think I 2 @ That's a lie. I

want all of you money you can.” At this point Dizzy cut in.

~ «you must be talking about me,

Frank.” “I'm not saying who I'm talking about,” Frisch bellowed, “but if the shoe fits you, wear it.” According to my informant, and you can go to sleep on his testimony, .Dean then rose up and launched one of the finest, allround, free-style, no-words-barred oral attacks any manager ever listened to. For a good five minutes he raked Frisch over the coals, using all the standard forms of address for such an occasion and a great- many homegrown phrases. Dizzy finished with the remark that he knew three players on the club who knew more baseball in five minutes than Frisch would know in a lifetime, and that one of them should be managing the club. “Never mind that,” Frisch barked, “I'll be running it in 1938.” “And doing a bum job, too,” Dean roared back. ’, That same day Dean was paid off for the remainder of the season and told to go home. *

Trade Talk Adds

Zest to Openers

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 19.'— Echoes of base hits, holdout bickerings and “Dean dollars” were heard round the baseball globe today as the major leagues put on their grand opening with all 16 clubs in action. An estimated 228,000 persons were expected to attend. \ Hits whistled around the ears of the world champion Yankees as the Red Sox thumped them, 8-4, in a rain-marred game before 10,000 at Boston yesterday. Losing openingday games and winning world’s championships are old customs with the Yanks and they may be slightly superstitious about it by now. They lost the opener in 1936 but won the world’s title, and last year the same thing hapbened. : In yesterday's other “beat the gun” game Washington shellacked the Athletics, 12-8, in a battle of 32 hits, before 29,000, including President Roosevelt, who threw out the first ball. : DiMaggio Stands Firm

While these two games were in progress, there ensued a crosscontinent verbal exchange between holdout Joe DiMaggio and Col. Jake Ruppert, multimillionaire Yankee owner. Reports were circulated that DiMaggio was ready to capitulate and accept Col. Ruppert’s profferred -$25,000. Aroused from his bed, DiMaggio said: “No, my price is still $40,000 and the restaurant business is good.” In Manhattan Col. Ruppert said: “He accepts the $25,000 or he doesn’t play with the Yanks, And for every day he’s away he will be docked one day’s -salary ($162.35).” From St. Louis came the report that the Browns had offered Outfielder Beau Bell and $150,000 for the 23-year-old Italian center fielder. To this General Manager Ed Barrow said, “We have no thought of trading DiMaggio. There's nothing to it.” Although Bill Terry, Giants’ stoical boss, openly pooh-poohs the possibility of the Dean deal “making” the Cubs the team to beat mn the National League, it is known that privately he’s sad about the transaction. Do not be surprised to see Terry go into the market for another pitcher, possibly bidding with the Cards for a Phils’ ace.
