TIP FROM

By Eddie Ash

RED BIRD BACKSTOP DELIVERS

DAD HELPS SCHULTZ

" WWHEN the Columbus Red Birds hailed in catcher Joe

Schultz from Asheville of the Piedmont League, they acquired an example of the latest wrinkle in scouting. ... It was originated by the young receiver’s father, former Cardinal scout, who figured that if he couldn't find a catcher in the minors, the next best thing was to ‘develop

one of his own. ’

The senior Schultz, now with the Pittsburgh Pirate organization, noted a paucity of good young catchers when he was touring the*%ushes for the Cardinals. . . . At home in St. Louis, young Joe was playing a bang-up game at third base for his high school and Legion teams. Daddy Jog passed the tip on to his young offspring. +. » “Take up catching if you want to catch one of the early boats to fast company,” he advised. . . . And today Joe Schultz Jr. is an up and coming receiver because he took

his father’s advice.

7 » ®

QOK over the major league lists and the rosters of the ‘minors and it will be noted there is no preponderence of outstanding catchers. . .. There is a real need for the development of backstops for the major league market, and if young Schultz continues to improve, he won't have much

trouble imaking the early boat. . . . His dad gave him a

mighty good tip. /

Incidentally, Schultz Sr, a star outfielder in the National League, played with every team in the senior circuit except the New York Giants. . . . Young Joe reached Indianapolis with the Red Birds today and probably will see some heavy action in the series against the Indians start-

ing at Perry Stadium tonight.

TED WILLIAMS, Minneapolis outfielder, who won't be 20 years old ‘until Aug. 30, pitched two years of varsity ball for his high school out in San Diego, Cal., but he never had any real desire to toe the slab. I only pitched for the good of the team,” says the sensational

' youngster who belongs to the Boston Red Sox.

“I wanted to play

" the outfield where I could be ‘up there hitting every day.”

That was a sound desire, as the figures will indicate. .

. After

three seasons at Herbert Hoover High School, they checked up on

|

‘his marks and found he had

a grand batting average of .430. .

. That

set an all-time record for the school.

Finishing school, Ted joined San Diego of the Coast League in 1936, when he was just 17 years old.

He did not see a lot of

action that year, but in the playoff series he was afforded one the big-

gest thrills the game has given him.

Cac SHIVER left the club just at the time when it was going

into the playoff series. . .

. The rather inexperienced Williams was thrown into his place and it was a tough spot for a kid.

. But

he got confidence when he connected for his first home fun in or- * ganized ball off Willie Ludolph of Oakland.

Ted was a regular last year and he hit 23 homers. . .

. In three

different games, he hit a brace of them, but none of those feats compared with the thrill he got from that four-bagger off Ludolph. Tom Yawkey of the Red Sox peeled off a fancy roll for Williams, but it looks like it’s going to be a paying investment. . . . Ted has

belted 29 homers for the Millers.

Schalkmen Within Half a Game of Second; End Trip With Win.

After losing the league lead and winding up in third place ‘during their third swing through the West, Ray Schalk’s Indians returned home today to open a four-game series with the Columbus Red Birds at Perry Stadium tonight. Game time is 8:15 o'clock. The Tribesters lost one more than they won on the trip through the toughest section of the league but still are within easy distance of the top and hope to climb back there at the expense of Eastern clubs while the teams in the West go ‘round and ‘round. A double-header is scheduled here tomorrow night., Indianapolis fans have not had a chance to cheer the home pastimers since the A. A. All-Star game on July 14 and the contest here tonight is to be celebrated in the nature of a rousing home-coming. The Schalkmen showed plenty of

‘fight in the West even in the games

which were lost, and for this reason the Perry Stadium .customers are ready to give them the old glad hand. The team has won four in its last five starts and is only a half a ga behind the second place K. C. Blues.

New Player on Hand

Carl Jorgensen, outfielder obtained ‘from the Cincinnati Red farm at Durham, is to make his first Indianapolis appearance tonight. He is a righthanded hitter and was taken on. after infielder Bobby Mattick was sent to Syracuse. Columbus has a hard-hitting outfit when the boys really feel like stepping out and the manner in which they teed off at Minneapolis yesterday is enough to throw a scare into any opponent. Buddy Hasson, first baseman, walloped three home runs, twice with twe on, and the Birds’ home run total was six to one for the Millers. The Birds tallied 21 runs on 24 hits and swamped the Millers 21 to 9. The Indians’ schedule is scrambled for the next six series and Is as follows: Columbus, here—tonight, ons row night (2), Thursday night. At Columbus—July 29, 30. Louisville, here—July 31, 1, 2 Toledo, here—Aug. 3,45 At Toledo—Aug. 6, 7, 8. At Louisville—Aug. 9, 10. The Western clubs will launch their last Eastern invasion on Aug. 11 with Milwaukee opening at Indianapolis.

three over the Blues by winning the series finale at Ruppert Stadium last night; 9 to 3. The Redskins pounded out 15 hits, including six for extra bases,

after a mid-contest splurge which brought the Tribesters three runs in the fifth and four in the sixth. Fausett, Sherlock, Chapman, Mesner and Latshaw led the attack against the Little Yankees and four K. C. pitchers ‘failed to check the Hoosiers in their runmaking. The Schalkmen sent Jack LaRocca fo cover in the first stanza and continued the battering tactics against his successors. Manager Bill Meyer of the Blues was banished in the fifth after a runin with Umpire Slavin, and the Blues were more cr less antagonistic throughout the battle as the Indians continued to show superiority. A 500-foot triple to center by Pete Chapman in the fifth was the longest blow of the night. He also

OF FRESH WAR PAINT

Indians to Battle Birds At Perry Stadium Tonight; Rookies Cheer Boston Sox

Dickman and Baghy New Stars in American as Race Stays Close.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 26.—Can anyone remember when the American League pennant race moved into the tag end of July and three clubs were running nip and tuck? It’s almost unbelievable in the light of past American League races,

but today found the Yankees on top by one game and Cleveland second, a game and a half ahead of the Boston Red Sox. With those three clubs bunched within two and a half games of each other the American League standings resemble an oldfashioned National League brawl. And the National League, famed for its whirlwind races, was settling down to a Pittsburgh chase. The Pirates have grabbed a four-game lead over the champion Giants. The Cubs are five and one-half games back despite their sudden return to form under their new leader, Gabby . Hartnett. Cincinnati in fourth place is seven games off the pace.

Cleveland at Home

The real firing during the next 3 the West where the Yankees will attempt to defend their lead against the Vitte - men of Cleveland who will be playing at home. You can forget about the charge that Boston doesn’t | have enough pitching to stay in the running No 4 The Red Sox offer Emerson Dickman and Jim Bagby, Jr., as two of the boys who are likely to take up the slack in Boston's allegedly weakest department. In closing their home stand yesterday the Red Sox broke even in a double-header with Cleveland. Rookie Dickman let the Vittmen' down with three hits to triumph over Johnny Allen in the opener, 4-0. It was Allen’s first defeat after a String of 12 straight victories. Then Bagby pitched a six-hitter but lost it to Mel Harder, 3-0. Harder allowed only five hits.

Two Rookies Deliver

Even though the Red Sox gained no ground in the pennant race, it was significant that a club could send two rookies to the mound and get a thrée-hit and a six-hit game. No other club in the American League’ can show a pair of rookies to match that performance. The Red Sox made only five hits off Allen but they made them count. Higgins’ double and Doer’s- single accounted for one run. A walk, Higgins’ single, Keltner’s error and a sacrifice bunt spelled two more runs. Then Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 27. In the second game Ken Keltner’s 17th homer gave the Vittmen their first run. Heath’s triple and Averill’s fly accounted for another run. The final tally resulted from Heath's infield hit and Keltner’s double.
