‘By Eddie Ash MEYER ASSEMBLES FAST TEAM

LOUISVILLE RECORD RECALLED

FTER one week of competition the American Association race is bearing out the preseason selections in one ‘respect—Kansas City, the favorite, is out in front with five victories in six starts. . . . It’s unusual for a team to gallop at that pace in enemy territory and seven managers are beginning to worry about the situation, figuring that if the Kaws are that tough to beat on the road they

may be unbeatable at home.

Bill Meyer has assembled a fast: machine which demonstrated its speed at the expense of the Indians here yesterday by stealing three times and getting an extra run across in the third inning by alert base running. The Kansas City “Yankees” are, just that.... Players have been shipped to them by the Yankee chain directors and evidently it’s their aim to organize a pennant winner in the first year of New York ownership -in the Association.

ANAGER MEYER of the Blues is on familiar ground

the A. A. . . . He used to catch for Louisville and -

was elevated to pilot there after Joe McCarthy departed for the majors. . . . McCarthy guided the Colonels ‘to the pennant in 1925, his second flag in Derbytown, and the Chicago Cubs recognized his talent and lifted him out

of the minors. : Meyer stepped into McCarthy's shoes and

duplicated

Joe’s 1925 achievement by directing the Colonels to the pennant in 1926, his first season as manager. . . . And

it was almost an exact duplication. ;

In 1925 Louisville, under McCarthy, won 106 games and lost 61, for a percentage of .635, and the next year, under Meyer, the Colonels won 105 games and lost 62

for a percentage of .629.

EYER managed Oakland in the Pacific Coast League last year and transferred to his new post after the Yankees purchased the Blues, lock, stock and barrel. . . . And even changed the name of the

ball park from Muehlebach Field to Ruppert Stadium. Fans in Columbus are moaning low. .

.. The Red Bird champions

of 1937 are mired in last place with only one victory to show in six starts. . . . Toledo is not living up to expectations, Minneapolis was slow starting, St. Paul is running to advance form and Louisville and Indianapolis turned in better records the first week of play than the

experts prognosticated. : :

» o 8 » # ”

OUISVILLE, picked to start in the cellar and remain there, is sharing second place with St. Paul, while Indianapolis, picked by the majority of league scriveners to finish seventh, is holding down fourth position. . . . Milwaukee is one victory short of playing .500

ball and probably is satisfied to do as well on the road.

Jim Turner of the Boston Bees has turned out to.be a real Giant killer. . . . The former Indianapolis hurler beat Bill Terry's champions

three out of four last year and is one up on them this season.

# 8 » # # 8

RNIE LOMBARDI, catcher, is the oldest Cincinnati Redleg from a standpoint of service... . This is his seventh season in a Cincy uniform, and that is longer than any catcher before him has lasted as a regular with the Reds. . . . Manager Bill McKechnie once played third base for the Reds, coming from the Giants in 1916 with Ed

Roush, now one of his assistants.

Last season, with the- Boston Bees, McKechnie was cited for the outstanding managerial achievement bf the year in a poll conducted

by Sporting News, him this honor was to fifth, only one game out of the first division.

Power Needed in Indian

Lineup, Opener Against

.K. C. Indicates. )

' It behooves the Indians to met some power into their roster, even at the cost of giving up on some of the streamlined young blood. The Redskins have gone three straight games without belting an extrabase hit and the last time they got one was on Tuesday when Sherlock smote a double. en a By losing to Kansas City yesterday the Tribe muffed a chance: to take the league lead and today: the Schalkmen were in fourth place below the Blues, Saints and Colonels. The “Little Yankees” are to remain here over the week-end and Red Phillips is scheduled to face them on the ‘mound this afternoon with Bill Baker catching. The league leaders probably will use Norman Branch on the rubber with Chris Hartje back of the plate. Game time today and tomorrow is set at 2:30 o’clock. : :

Loose Play in Third

Loose play by the Tribesters in the third inning cost yesterday’s game and Kansas City won, 3 to 2. The Indians’ “big” innings consisted of three singles and one run in the fourth and three singles and ‘one run in the ninth. A couple of healthy blows in either frame would have put the Tribe in with the sugar. ‘Getting back to the third inning which beat the Tribe, Boyle led off and scratched a hit off Sherlock’s glove. Joost tapped one toward third and from the stands the ball looked foul as Fausett scooped it. Umpire Tom Dunn ruled it fair in the first of a series of close decisions, all against the home nine. Saltzgaver’s sacrifice put Boyle on third and Joost on second. Lloyd Johnson walked Judnich on purpose to set up a double play. It was proper strategy, but worked in reverse. Matheson grounded to Pofahl at short and it was a double-play ball, all right, but the Indians’ execution was a bit slow and only the runner going down from first was erased, Pofahl to Sherlock.

Throw the Ball!

Sherlock sped the ball to Latshaw at first a trifle late and Matheson was safe. Boyle scored easily from third, but Latshaw forgot Joost also was running and failed to head him off. In other words the Blues tallied two runs on an infield out. Latshaw’s belated throw to the plate was wide and Matheson raced all the way to third, where he was left. In the seventh Breese singled and stole second on a close decision by Umpire Genshlea, new in the league. The Indians screamed about the verdict to no avail, though the runner apparently was tagged before reaching the bag. . Pitcher Al Piechota scratched a single to Sherlock’s right on the kind of a ball Vincent used to handle with ease. Breese scored on the hit, and that was the ball game, with the pitcher batting in what proved to be the winning tally. Piechota, a right-hander, had a large afternoon. In addition to

Jimmy Keeps Boys Hustling; Record Detroit Crowd Sees Tigers Bow.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent . NEW YORK, April 23 (U. P.)— immy Dykes says go ahead and look at the American League standings now before it’s too. late. He means look at his White Sox up there tied for the lead because he doesn’t know how long it will last.

Then shortstop Luke Appling received a broken leg and his No. 1 pitcher, Monte Stratton, contacted a lame arm. Those three blows were. enough to wreck any club. Then Gerald Walker, new power hitter, had to leave the club Wednesday because of the death of his mother. ” But good luck or bad, fair weather or foul, Dykes -keeps his players hustling and fighting for all they're worth. Every game the White Sox won has been by a one-run margin. They beat the Tigers twice, 4-3 and 5-4, and then came back yesterday to down the Browns, 4-3, in a 13-inning battle. Relief Pitcher Clint Brown, who's appeared in all four Sox games, was the hero. He

In getting credit for the victory, Brown held St. Louis to three hits in the last 5 2-3 innings. ’ Record Crowd at Detroit While the White Sox have been winning games by one run, the Tigers have been losing them by the same margin. They've lost three times, each by one tally. Cleveland plastered a 4-3 defeat on the Tigers ‘yesterday before 54,500 persons, largest throng ever to see a game in Detroit. Mel Harder kept the Tigers’ eight hits scattered, and started the winning rally with a double. Lary scored the winning run after Hale's liner to Cullenbine.

Frankie Crosetti led the Yanks’ attack with a double and two singles, driving in three runs. ; ; : : Pittsburgh kept up its winning streak by downing Cincinnati, 7-4, for its fourth straight. Singles by Suhr, Todd, Brubaker and Young, an error and two walks featured the Pirates’ four-run rally which proved the turning point of the game. Scoring four runs in the ninth, the Cardinals came from behind to beat the Cubs, 6-5, for their first triumph.

Cunningham has just compleigd his greatest year on indoor tracks. Archie San Romani, Emporia, Kas., State Teachers College star, was regarded the chief threat to Cunningham’s supremacy. Romani already has shown brilliant form in several outdoor races this year, and is in top shape for today’s event. ~ Don Lash, former University of Indiana runner, and Gene Venzke, a veteran who made a former appearance at the relays in 1934 with the University of Pennsylvania, were the other entrants.’
