LOMBARD] 18 LIKELY TO LEAD

KEEPS BATTING PACE WELL UP

PAGE 6

S the big league season progresses into the final weeks, it is beginning to appear likely that catcher Ernie Lombardi will be the leading batter of the National League when closing day rolls around. . . . None of his rivals, even the defending champion, the redoubtable Joe Medwick, has heen able to surpass the big Italian when it comes to knocking out base hits with regularity. Winning the senior loop batting championship would be a handsome honor for Lombardi, whose ability to clout the horsehide has been widely recognized ever since he broke into professional baseball in 1927. This is Ernie’s seventh season as the regular Cincinnati Redleg receiver, and only once has he failed to hit 300. . . . In the past three years his averages havé read .343, .333, and .334.

ry wn 2 8 = BUT great as those years were, Lombardi, this season, is almost certain to surpass all his former achievements with the Queen City team. The fact that Bill Terry selected him to catch the big league All-Star game for the National League and kept him in there the full nine innings, indicates why he is generally accepted as the successor to Gabby Hartnett as the leading catcher in the National circuit. The home run walloped by Ernie last Thursday which won the game for the Reds over the Chicago Cubs in the 14th inning, was his 13th of the season and gave him one more than he had ever hit. during a single campaign in the National League. There is tremendous power behind any kinds of a Lombardi drive and infielders on the Jeft side of the diamond are wary when he is swinging.

HEN the Indianapolis club claimed outfielder Danny Taylor on waivers last week it tossed $2000 out the window in addition to losing the services of the player. ... Unless the Columbus club has a heart and declines the check. The Tribe management overlooked the fact that Taylor took French leave from the Indians in 1936 and that he has threatened to retire from baseball every year since Brooklyn released him to Indianapolis. The Indians sold him to Minneapolis last winter and the Millers swapped him to Columbus this year. . . . Hard up for an outfielder, Indianapolis agreed to fork over the $2000 ‘Waiver price when Columbus: promised to have the player here last Thursday night. But when Indianapolis located Taylor he was at his West Newton, Pa., home. ... And he refused to report.... It is said Danny's intention is to quit baseball- and give his entire time to the night club business operated by himself and brother. ... Which leaves the Indians holding the bag to the tune of two grand.

WO’ American Association rules stand in the way of third base“man Jim Tabor’s return to Minneapolis from the Boston Red Sox. .,.. (1) A rule barring major league help for teams after Aug. 11.... (2) A rule preventing a player being returned to an A. A. team eligible list within 30 days if once removed. Minneapolis is campaigning te have both rules suspended. ... An unanimous vote of club owners is required. : St. Paul’s home attendance has ballooned to 201,000. . . . Indianapolis will be lucky to reach 150,000 for the entire season. . Indianapolis’ bulge in population over St. Paul evidently doesn’t mean anything in the sports line.

Yankees Sign Wes Ferrell

Ailing Joe Vance.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (U. P).— Wes Ferrell, whose major league career appeared ended when he was released by the Senators and waived out of the American League last week, was a member of the richest

World Series swag. Ferrell, eccentric. righthander, signed up with the Yankees yesterday to replace Joe Vance, who was stricken with | appendicitis. The Yanks lead the league by 7% games and are heavy favorites to win their third straight pennant. If Ferrell sticks, he probably will be voted a half-share of World Series money. Vance, who had been recalled from Kansa€ City when Joe Beggs was sent back to Newark, was operated on for appendicitis Saturday night, and Manager Joe McCarthy wired Perrell in Washington to “come at once.” McCarthy did not say when he expected to use him, but it was believed Wes would get his first call in one of the games against his old Washington mates Wednesday. If he performs effectively, McCarthy plans to use him as 8 regular starter. Ferrell, as well known for his tantrums as for his pitching feats, has won 13 and lost eight this year.

-Double-Header From Lowly Phils.

* CHICAGO, Aug. 15 (U. P)— About this time every year, Bill Terry rubs ‘his magic lamp and starts: the Giants on their way to another National League pennant. Terry rubbed it just in time this summer. The Giants were playing just -about the poorest baseball in the majors until’ whatever happens

happen. Now they are only four and one-half games back of the league-leading Pirates, ‘It ‘was only the last place Phillies which. New York defeated twice yesterday, but victories like that are just as important as any other. While Pittsburgh was shaking off its three-game losing streak by defeating the Cubs, 2 to 0, the Giants picked up a half game on the leaders by poling out 34 hits in their 11-to-0 and 14-to-6 victories over the Phillies. The odd part of it was that the | National League champions didn’t look great polishing off. the Phils. Neither starting pitchers — Hal Schumacher and Bill Lohrman—was able to finish and in the second game, the infield made three errors. Pittsburgh, after dropping two straight to the Cubs, salvaged the third game on the six-hit pitching of Russ Bauers, former Chicago sandlotter, and good old Mace Brown, who came in with the bases Joaded in the ninth and proved he’s the best relief pitcher in the league. Charley Root pitched & homerun ball to Johnny Rizzo in the second inning and was charged with the defeat which dropped the Cubs six and one-half games out of first place. .In the American League, the Yankees also picked up another half game, increasing their lead over Cleveland to seven and one-half games, by rolling over Philadelphia, 4 to 3, and 9 to 2. Lou Gehrig oh a homer in each game. Catcher George Tebbetts of Detroit wrecked Buck Newsom's chance for a no-hitter with a single to center field in the seventh inning of the first game between the Tigers and Browns, Buck won 7 to 1, a three-base error by Beau Bell ‘producing the one run. Dark-

‘I ness ‘halted the second game at 3

to 3 after nine full innings.

Crowd Expected For Roller Derby

Roller Derby fans are expected to turn out in large numbers Thursday night at the Butler Fieldhouse to ‘welcome back to Indianapolis the favorites of previous races. Heading the list of stars who will be making their third appearance in the area will be Wes Aronson, the big Swedish lad from Portland, Ore. and the winner of the races held previously. Pitted against the blonde speed- |: ster will be his arch rival, Jack Cummings of Lafayette, Ind. The Hoosier lad and Aronson have a feud of long standing which dates back to their amateur days in Chicago. This will be the first meeting of the pair in six months as Aronson has been competing on the West Coast. Officials announced that Ivy King of Toronto would not be able to appear here because of injuries received in the San Francisco Derby.

Fans Eager for Glimpse of Joe

Triples by Buddy Lewis and Bob Latshaw put the Indians on their way in the second stanza and in the fourth Carl Jorgensen, rookie outfielder, smacked one of Ernie Bonham’s offerings over the leftfield wall for a home run. The hig kid was given a rousing hand by the 4000 fans as he toured the circuit. In the seventh Niggeling sparked a rally by rapping one to center as first up. He was sacrificed along by .

It was a painful wallop and Carl retired to’ the rubbing table. |The Indians lost a run in the fifth when Joe Gallagher cut loose a per= fect throw to the plate to nail Fausett who sprinted home after Joe snared Jorgensen’s fly. Another feature play was contributed by Jimmy Pofahl in the fourth when he made a backhanded stop on Eddie Miller's drive to deep short and threw a runner out at second. | The Blues thought they had the second game in the bag when they . held a lead of 3 to 1 after the fourth inning.
