By Eddie Ash HANK STARTED AT EVANSVILLE
HIT 15 HOMERS FIRST SEASON
‘EARED in New York, Henry Hankus Pankus Hot ‘News Greenberg, got a bit of Hoosier atmosphere into ‘his system in 1931 when he played with Evansville in the Three-I League, his first full season in professional ball, and it was in the Pocket City where he learned to belt home runs by getting 15 in 126 games. Transferred to Beaumont of the Texas League in 1932, the big fellow (6 feet 814 inches) slammed 39 out of bounds in 154 games and was voted the most valuable player in that bustling circuit. That record won him passage to Detroit where he crowded Harry Davis (now with Kansas City) off the first sack and proceeded to treat the Tiger fans to some fair country hitting. Greenberg attended grade and high school in New York and then enrolled in New York University, but saw no baseball action among the collegians. » oh 2 #“ 8 8 ANK played high school ball, on other amateur teams and later with the semipros. . . . Yankee and Detroit scouts got on the lad’s trail and in the showdown, Jean Dubuc, Tiger ivory hunter, won the talented youngster. The rangy chap spent little time in Detroit livery after signing in 1930 and was consigned to Hartford of the Eastern League where he got into only 17 games. Then came the shift to Evansville the next year, where he really got going and pounded the horsehide for a mark of .318. ... He was off! In uniform and action Greenberg reminds one of George (Highpockets) Kelly, of another era in major league warfare.
2 8 8 ® .B 2 OWERHOUSE HANK is a right-handed batter and thrower, and with two months of play remaining in the American League stands a grand chance to catch and pass Babe Ruth’s home-run record of 60 which has stood up since 1927, . . . Jimmy (Double X) Foxx got to 58 in 1932. . . . Greenberg’s total is 37 and with 62 more games fo play. Joe DiMaggio annexed the American League Home Run Derby last year with 46. The other day Hank was requested to explain the reason for the shower of home runs. . . . He replied, “All I can say is that I'm hitting . them today. Maybe tomorrow it will be a different story. Persons have been suggesting things to me all year, especially when I'm up there striking out instead of hitting. I haven't changed my style at the plate since I was a rookie greener than the grass on the infield. Old Hank is just out there trying all the time.”

O LONG Page and hello Logan. . . . The Indianapolis Indians’ right-handed mound ace departed for Chicago today to sign a contract with the Cubs before joining the team in the East tomorrow or Wednesday and Lefty Bob returns from the majors for the third time to work on the mound for the Redskins. .. . He's accustomed to shuttling between majors and minors and probably will take the shift in stride. Indianapolis to Brooklyn and return in 1936, Indianapolis to Betroit and return in 1937, and Indianapolis to Chicago and return in 1938. . Anyway, welcome home, Robert. The "sale of Vance Page to the Cubs has been hanging fire several weeks and became official Saturday night when Manager Hartnett of the Cubs sent out an SOS for pitching help after losing three in a-row plus the failure of Dizzy Dean to go the route.
# # # ® = 8
YY“ PAGE joined the Indians from the Hollywood Pacific Coast League club in 1934 and was the dean of the 1938 squad. . . . He is 31, lives at Elm City, N. C., and grows tobacco for the market. Cool Vance is an altogether different pitcher than last season when he lost effectiveness in midseason and wound up with nine games won and 19 lost. ... . He leaves now with 15 victories: against five Seton and has been thoroughly scouted by Clarence Rowland of e Cu The veteran righthander was presented a car by the Tribe management yesterday and is departing for the big show all slicked up and anxious to try his stuff on the big leaguers. . . . It’s his first major trial after 11 years in the minors. . . . He stands an even 6 feet and weighs 180 pounds.
# ® 2 8 o 2
1= slipping Indians can ill afford to dispense with Page’s services at this time but the pitcher knew geveral offers had been made for him and was anxious to go. . . . “It’s now or never at my age,” Vance said yesterday “and much as I hate to leave the Indians and my many friends here, a fellow can’t be blamed for accepting a promotion to the majors. “I had a couple of big years in the Coast League when I was a younger man but was denied a trip to the big leagues because my club put the price too high. After that I didn't do so well and now that this second opportunity comes at 31 it’s best for me to grab it. The old arm won’t last many more years.” General Manager Leo Miller and Manager Ray Schalk said -they could have obtained more cash by selling Page to one of a couple of other clubs but chose the Cubs when Logan was offered in the deal with no strings attached. . . . Lefty Bob is 28.

McCarthy Has Four Mainstay Hurlers Ready for Race Down Stretch.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent « CHICAGO, Aug. 1 (U. P.).—Just mention Monte Pearson and Spud Chandler to Joe McCarthy today and youll hear an Irish chiickle. With Pearson and Chandler pitch.ing winning baseball, the New York
to capture their third straight American League pennant. Without them, the burden on Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez might be too much. But with the four of them the Yanks don’t have to concede pitching honors to any club. That’s why McCarthy smiles when you mention Pearson and Chandler today. They proved. yesterd y that they are ready to go right down the line in the stretch battle.
Retires 20 in Row
Pearson restricted the Chicago White Sox to five hits in the first game yesterday as the Yanks won, 5-1, Then Chandler came back to win a 15-inning game, 7-3, in which he permitted only eight hits. At one stage of the fame Chandler, exGeorgia football star, retired 20 consecutive White Sox batsmen. Those two triumphs behind the stellar pitching of Pearson and Chandler gave the Yanks seven triumphs in eight games in the West, including a winning streak of four straight. As Cleveland was rained out, the Yanks increased their lead to two games. Red Rolfe paced the Yankee attack in the opener with four hits
{in five times at bat. Tommy Hen-
rich rapped out five hits in eight trips in the nightcap.
Browns Upset Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox stubbed their toe twice in St. Louis, losing to the Browns, 7-6 and 10-2, the second game going only seven innings. Mel Almeda’s single won the opener and a seven-run attack in the first inning of the second game clinched
| that affair. The double defeat
dropped the Red Sox five and onehalf games behind the Yanks. Pittsburgh four - game winning streak was snapped by . Brooklyn when Bill Posedel scored: a 4-3 victory, allowing nine hits. © Dolf Camilli hit a homer with a man on base while Johnny Rizzo hit a round tripper for the Bucs. Cincinnati nosed out the Giants, 7-6, in 11 innings. A pair of errors by Mel Ott and Walter Brown helped the Reds score the winning tally.
Veteran Battery Works
The Chicago Cubs blew their fourth straight game, losing the opener of a twin bill to the Phillies, 6-5, in 12 innings. Then they came back in the nightcap to battle uphill to a 4-3 victory. Bill Atwood’s homer won the opener. Gabby Hartnett and Charlie Root, oldest major léague battery, combined to win the second game. Hartnett singled, stole second while Collins fanned, and scored on Root’s single. The Boston Bees scored a double victory over the St. Louis Cardinals by the same score, 3-2. Danny MacFayden allowed eight hits in the first ‘game and Lou Fette yielded only seven in the nightcap.

[Pearson and Chandler Put ‘Confidence in Champions; Redskins Remain in Skid
Tribe Meets Colonels Again Tonight; McCormick Is Injured Sliding.
For the first time in weeks there is a definite favorite in the American Association flag race, and that favorite is the St. Paul club. Foster Ganzel’s team stretched its lead to five games yesterday, and a margin of that length at this time indicates a balance of championship caliber. - : Indianapolis slipped to fourth place Saturday and took another belt on the chin yesterday by swooning before Louisville in the first half of the double-helider at Perry Stadium. The score was 11 to 4 and it was the Tribe's sixth straight defeat. The second struggle wound up in
a 3-to-3 tie when the 6 o’clock cur- |:
few halted hostilities in the seventh. The Indians had the bases loaded
‘with two down when Umpire Weafer
called it a day to comply with the Sunday law. Ladies’ Night Game The Colonels are here again tonight and tomorrow night, and will be followed by the Toledo Mud Hens who are booked for five games in three days. with Louisville tonight will be a ladies’ night affair.
The Redskins are in a dizzy slump,
batting, pitching and fielding, and
along with these ailments, sickness |:
and injuries are added. Bob Latshaw, first sacker, has a stomach disorder, Steve Mesner are handicapped by bruised legs ‘and Myron McCormick wae carried off the field yesterday and‘ became a hospital case. He sprained an ankle sliding into second and will be out indefinitely. | Yesterday was celebrated as “Vance Page Day” and Vance sat on the bench in the first tilt and watched his mates go down to a hard fall. The Colonels ran wild, collected 14 hits, and Leo Ogorek contributed the feature blow with a home run with two on in the sixth. Fred Shaffer worked the route for Louisville and held the Tribe to seven hits. Elmer Riddle, Hod Lisenbee and John Niggeling took turns on the Tribe rubber with the first named the loser. The Indians came up with three errors in this one.
Farewell to Page Having pitched 11 innings in Columbus Friday, Vance Page was not up for duty yesterday, but as a farewell to the fans before joining the Chicago Cubs he volunteered to start the second game. The crowd of 3500 cheered Page's every appearance all afternoon and he blanked the Colonels with no hits for three innings. He had ‘a lead of 1 to 0 going into the fourth and struck out the first hitter. Two infield errors and a couple of hits followed and Louisville tallied two unearned runs. That was sufficient work for only one day’s rest and Manager Schalk sent Jack Tising to the mound in the fifth. The Indians loaded the bases with none out in their half of the fifth, yet got only one run out of it, and that was forced in by a walk issued by Lew Carpenter. The home boys simply were not hitting the ball. Came the seventh with the score a tie, 2 and 2, and Louisville tallied one marker when two pinch hitters, Simons and Ringhofer, delivered and Don French walked Sturm with the bases filled. In the Tribe half Mesner was safe on Madura’s wide throw and Riddle ran for him. Both Pofahl and Sherlock popped out and Galatzer singled Riddle to second. Only a couple of minutes time remained as Yank Terry walked Chapman, filling the bases. Fausett also walked, foes in Riddle with the tying run, an Bao stepped to the

Williams Sees Durocher As Next Dodger Leader
By JOE WILLIAMS ! Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, Aug. 1—Putting one little word after another: Leo |: Durocher will be the next manager of the-Brooklyns . . . rules or no- rules, agreements or no agreements, Lou Ambers will be accepted as the welterweight ‘champion if he- Gefents Henry Armstrong . . . just
plain common ° sense . . . if the lightweight champion is
good enough to whip the welterweight
the top man. Any day there’s a ball game you will find Will Gibson, the man who maneuvered Gene Tunney into the heavyweight championship, at either the Polo Grounds or the Yankee Stadium. . . . and looking fine, too. . . . Overheard in the press boX . . . “All Stoneham knows about the Giants is what Terry tells him” , .. The Cincinnati Reds won’t win any championships this year but they figure to be plenty tough for the next several years. . . . Theyre a young bunch and will gather poise, co-ordination and added momentum as they go along. . .. And Manager Bill McKechnie is right when he sags “Watch Harry Craft” . . . in department's book Craft is the a promising young player in the big leagues. , ..
The Fight Game
I can’t get excited over the boxing commission’s action in vacating John Henry Lewis’ title as light heavyweight ‘champion, or in refusing to recognize Al Hostak as the middleweight ‘ champion. . . . All titles, except the heavyweight, are a dime a dozen anyway .. . what is the light heavyweight division today? ... Just a yawn... . And the only fight Hostak can make any real money out of is with Fred Apdstoli, the commission’s champion. . . . So all the commission is doing in this instance is building up a Hostak-Apostoli fight. Gabby Hartnett of the Cubs says the only difference he can see in being a, manager is that he gets a suite of rooms now instead of just a single réom . . . “and that gives me more room to entertain”. They could give the popular Gabby - Madison Square Garden for this pur. pose and. it still . would be | inadequate. “You're Tight about the: importance of a pitcher like Carl Hubhell to a team,” writes Clark , Griffith, the Washington owner. . . . “When 1 had Walter Johnson I figured we had 25 games won every season even and there were some years when Mr. Griffith's Washington teams, even with Johnson, didn’t win many more: than that. . . . rs
Rickenbacker Due
Eddie ‘Rickenbacker gets - home from Europe on thi the Normandie today and Dick Merrill, the ambidexterous baseball pitcher, is going to fly a flock of newshawks Out 10 Sen to. io welcoe him. . . . In the party] will be Pop Myers, more formally frown as Theodore E. Myers, J 1 manager of the 500-mile

of our club is the sensation of the ‘minor leagues. . ... The Yankees own him, got him in a deal that sent Willard Hershberger, the catcher, to the Reds, and they have -refused $35,000 for him. . . . He's a shortstop-. . . No chance for a sale until the Yankees decide they prefer him to Prank Crosetti.” . . .
