STARS FAIL TO PROTECT ARMS

TRAINER POINTS OUT MISTAKES

RANK BOWMAN, veteran trainer of the Minneapolis Millers, traces sore arms, pinched nerves, and pulled pitching muscles to polo shirts and air-conditioning. . . . The pitcher who gets on base and calls for a jacket to & keep himself perspiring and his"arm warm will take a hot shower after the game and walk out into the cool air wearing a short-sleeved, low-necked polo shirt. Extremes of temperature make nerves and muscles taut. . . . Then something happens to them when the pitcher strains his arm bearing down. Old-timers had special red flannel sleeves made for their pitching arms, with straps to hold them in place. . . « At night they put their arms to bed like a kid. . . . They appreciated the fact that their arms were their stock in trade. Today a ball player goes from a hot shower to an air-conditioned hotel or Pullman car. . . . He labors in 90 to 100-degree heat at the game, then spends the remainder of the day or night in artificial 70-degree temperature.

8 8 = 8 8 = N arm attuned to a sensitive pitch is the first thing hit by those extremes. . . . Pitchers, in their rush to get downtown after a game, are slow to learn from such a wise old head as Bob Grove. . . . Lefty comes in from pitching a game and sits in the clubhouse until he’s positively through sweating before he takes a shower. He sits reading a paper or something, every once in a while rubbing his hand across his chest to see if he is still perspiring. . . . Sometimes it’s an hour or more before he goes to the shower. . . . His body temperature is normal before he leaves the park. Lou Gehrig does the same thing . . . relaxes completely, and to this, more than any other one thing, he attributes his being able to play in more than 2000 consecutive

games. : ” 2 ” o ” 8

ANSAS CITY has knocked off Columbus 15 times in 16 clashes this season, which is the main reason the Blues are in the first division. . . . Ernest Bonham, pitcher, has been transferred from Newark to K. C. by the Yankee chain. . Having purchased Whitlow Wyatt, the shutout king, Brooklyn is said to be after his Milwaukee battery partner, Joe Becker. In a recent game in the Coast Yesdne catcher Shanty Hogan whipped off his oversized mask while in pursuit of a foul ball and the protector came down on the head of Batter Tommy Carey and knocked him cold. . Hogan has a special mask to fit his large head and it weighs about 10 pounds. 2 2 8 = { 82 8 =

! Ppreacuss ROE, 20-year-old | Viola, Ark. lefthander, one of the most sought after young pitchers in the Middle West, signed by the Cardinals, was dug to join the Redbird band in New York this week. . . . Pitching for Harding College at Searcy, Ark., he has had a remarkable strikeout record. Preacher averaged around 16 strikeouts a game, while chalking up 10 wins and one loss this year. . . . His best record was 27 strikeouts in a 13-inning battle, and he had 21 in a nine-inning contest. Roe is 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighs 160 pounds and is credited with having good control. ” ” 2

® ” ” UMORS of a possible Lervein shake-up on the Baltimore Orioles were spiked recently’ by General Manager John Ogten, when he announced that Clyde j/(Bucky) Crouse of Muncie, Ind. would finish the season as leader the Birds. In making his brfef statement, Ogden said: “Crouse will positively remain this season manager of the Baltimore club. I hope this will quiet all rumors.” Talk of Crouse being replaced at the helm of the last-place Orioles had persisted. since early in -the campaign. Injuries to key men, plus the failure of heavy hitters to live up to expectations, have hurt the Orioles this season. . The club has been given an overhauling, but still has failed to win.

FANS EYE GREENBERG'S HOME RUN DRIVE

Tiger Star Zooms Total of Round Trippers to 33 In 88 Games.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 28.—Eleven years ago Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs. Today Hank Greenberg, Detroit first baseman, was ahead of Babe Ruth's pace and everyone interested in baseball was wondering whether he could keep it up or net, Greenberg yesterday hit No. 32 and 33. In 1927 Ruth hit his 33d home run in his 95th game of the season, Greenberg hit his in his 88LL game. Now Ruth'is standing on the sidelines, trying to root the Brooklyn Dodgers into a first division berth. Greenberg is only slugging away for a second division ball club. While Greenberg's attempt to break Ruth’s record is one of the vital issues in the sport today, it does not affect the pennant race. The New York Yankees continued to hold: their game and a half lead over Cleveland by defeating the St. Louis Browns yesterday, 7-5. Cleveland beat the Philadelphia Athletics, 12-11, in a see-saw game. In the other American League game Detroit triumphed over Washington, 9-4. Greenberg was the hero of that game with his two homers. Pirates Gain Game y Pittsburgh gained a full game on the New York Giants by beatirig the Phillies, 4-2. Floyd Young drove in four runs on a single, a homer and a flelder’s choice. Lon Warneke pitched the St. Louis Cardinals to a! 7-0 triumph over the New York Giants. He allowed only four hits and was superb in the pinches. It was the Giants’ fifth straight defeat. ! In a night game Brooklyn defeated the Cubs, 3-2, when a walk, two errors and three singles in the ninth enabled the Dodgers to come from behind to win. The Boston Bees rose out of their slump to beat the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 and 5-1. Danny MacFayden held the Reds to five hits in the first game and Lou Fette duplicated his performance in the nightcap.

Galento Faces Long Absence From Ring

ORANGE, N. J., July 28 (¥. P.).— Tony Galento, No. 1 heavyweight challenger, hospitalized with pneumonia a week ago, was on the “road to recovery” today. His doctor, Joseph L. Higi, explained that Tony will need a long and substantial rest before he fights again. If no complications arise, he will leave the hospital in a week or two. His temperature, pulse and respiration were almost normal to-

day and he required an oxygen tent only while sleeping.

In the second battle, which lasted beyond midnight, the Birds won, 3 to 2, when Jim Bucher cleaned the sacks with a triple off Elmer Riddle in the fifth stanza. The Indians got an unearned run in the fourth, and in the seventh and last frame S Mesner belted a home run over the left field wall with the bases unoccupied.
