FIELDING

By Eddie Ash

FITZ STILL HAS PLENTY LEFT

HELPS HIM STAY UP

FRED FITZSIMMONS, the

old Mishawaka Marvel, had

been a part of the major league landscape for years and years—so many years, in fact, that the New York Giants gave him over to Brooklyn as a washed up pitcher. . . « But you can take the word of catcher Gilly Campbell that Fitz still has plenty of substance on the ball. Campbell caught Fitz as the veteran turned in his seventh success of the season in pitching the Dodgers to a 2-0 victory in the first game of a double-header with

Boston last Sunday.

“Fitz may not be able to work as often as in the past,” allowed Gilly, “but give him four days of rest in between assignments and he’ll pitch you a bang up ball

game.

majors is his fielding ability.

“The real secret of Fitzsimmons’ long success in the

A pitcher needs more than

a good arm to get by. He has to be able to get around on bunts, and that is one of the best things Fitz does. Try bunting on him and he’ll make you look silly.”

AMPBELL was particularly enthusiastic about the way Fitzsimmons was tossing his three-speed knuckle ball in holding the Bees to three hits. “Three speeds is right. He's got a fast one, a middle speed one and a slow baby that sort of slides in there and throws the hitter’s timing out of gear.

“But here’s the big thing.

Fred throws what amounts

to a dry spitter. You don’t know where and how its going to break. Tot Pressnell’s knuckler travels like it was hopped

up. He doesn’t know where certainly doesn’t. Why, his

it’s going and the catcher curve knuckler will break

twice on the way in. That’s why the catcher misses so

many of his third strikes.

“Fitz grips the ball with his knuckles; Pressnell uses

his nails.”

Fitzsimmons went up from Indianapolis in 1925 after

serving three Park.

Bt TERRY of the Giants has realized for some time that his team » has been-Woefully weak on the bases and this is the main reason he brought up infielder George Myatt from the Jersey City Interna-

tionals,

.. . Out on the Coast they called Myatt the Denver Comet. . . .

He was born in Denver in 1915 and started his league career at San Antonio in 1933. . . . The new Giant stands 5 feet 103% inches and

weighs 168 pounds.

Myatt stole 33 bases in the Coast League in 1936 and repeated with the same total in 1937. ... The Giants bought him from San Diego and sent him to their Jersey City farm where he pilfered 40 bases in 115

games this year.

Myatt was batting only .278 when he left Jersey City, but since the

speed merchant swings left-handed,

Manager Terry hopes to develop

him into a star lead-off man and capitalize on the player's fast leg

work in beating out infield hits.

IN May SCHLUETER, White Sox catcher, won't be 21 until next month. . .. Under new management the Tigers have won two, tied one and lost four. . . . Catcher Earl Brucker of the Athletics is on the shelf with a leg infection and Johnny (No Hit) Vander Meer, did not accompany the Cincy Reds to Pittsburgh because of an ear infection. Little Lynn Myers seems to have plugged the St. Louis Cardinals’ hole at shortstop. . . . He’s an agile athlete and has a good arm. . . . . Lynn, brother of Billy of the Reds, is up from the Piedmont League.

cae GRIMM, deposed manager of the Cubs, is enjoying life these days. .. . He remarked the other day: “I feel a lot younger and have quit staring at the wall. You know, I just found out recently why they always had a police officer wait and escort me downstairs at

Wrigley Field.

“It wasn’t to protect me from autograph hunters—it was to keep me from jumping off the balcony and dashing my brains out on the

concrete.”

B© league scouts are looking around the minors for more pitcher who have passed the 30-year-old mark. . . Since Vance Page of Indianapolis and Fred Johnson of Toledo proved they could foo. ’em

in the big show. :

Johnson left Toledo last month to make his second major league “debut” at an age when most pitchers have long since retired... . He first broke into big time baseball with the World Champion New York Giants in 1922. , . , His second try is with a club in last place—the

Browns.

Johnson’s performance so far with Gabby Street's team compares favorably with any other pitcher on the club with the exception of

- Buck Newsom and Oral Hildebrand.

. . « He has worked in six games

and has one victory—a 9-t0-2 game against the Athletics for his

first major league win—and one defeat. . .

. In addition he has

proved himself a horse for work and always willing to go in as relief.

Skaters Arrive

Track construction is now complete on the Butler field -house oval and skaters were to arrive today for the opening of Indianapolis’ third Roller Derby tomorrow night. The starting gun will be fired at 8 p. m. sending 12 pairs of skaters in competition. Several changes in rules will be noted by fans who witnessed the two previous races. The pace has been ircreased due to the fact that there will be only two teams competing, the Reds and Whites. Skaters will operate as a unit in scoring points and blocking out opponents. Alternate skaters will be used only in case of injury to a regular. The penalty ruling has been changed, a skater now being banished after 12 minutes in penalties.

Pirates Face Crucial Test

: 4 Yanks Drop Nats Twice and Just About Cinch Another Flag.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Mid-August finds the two major leagues gradually getting around to normal-—-an American League walkaway and a National League dog-eat-dog fight. Late last month it appeared that Cleveland might offer the Yanks some serious opposition down the stretch. The Red Sox also were hanging on like they might cause trouble. First Cleveland caved in, then the Red Sox. Now the Yankees are without a serious rival. Widening their lead to eight games, longest of the sea-

‘son, the Yanks all but settled the

pennant race yesterday by knocking over Washington twice, 16-1 and 6-2. Even though the Pirates came out of their slump and increased their National League lead to five games, the situation remains acute for Pie Traynor’s team. The Giants, Cubs and Reds are all hanging on grimly, and out of this group is likely to come a dangerous pennant conterder in the drive to the wire. The Giants came from a similar positicn in August last year to win. During the last week the Pirates have indicated that they may be Manager Traynor shook up his lineup yesterday by benching First Baseman Gus Suhr for Bill Brubaker, a third baseman by trade, and Catcher Al Todd for the weak-hitting Ray Berries, and it had the desired resulis for the Pirates blanked the Reds, 10-0. > But Traynor’s move in juggling his lineup at this stage of the race tipped off the fact that the Pirafes may have radical weaknesses which will cost them the pennant in a red-hot race.

Dodgers Trip Giants

Cy Blanton plugged up the leaky Pirate craft temporarily at least with a masterful eight-hit pitching performance. ° Brubaker, with a homer and two singles, and Lee Handley, with a triple and two singles, led the Pirate’s 14-hit attack on Peaches Davis and Jim Weaver. Brooklyn scored four runs in a ninth-inning rally to upset the Giants, 7-3. Goody Rosen's double with the bases loaded was the vital punch. Scoring two runs in the ninth,

‘the Cubs tied the Cardinals and

then went on to score a 5-4 victory in the 11th when Ken O'Dea, subbing for the injured Manager Hartnett, singled and Frank Demaree tripled. Then the Cards came back to win the second game, 5-2, as Curt Davis limited the Cubs to nine scattered hits. The split enabled the Cubs to gain undisputed possession of third place as the Reds lost.

Win on Klein’s Hit

Chuck Klein’s single in the 11th enabled the Phillies to trim the Bees, 7-6, despite Tony Cuccinello’s two homers, ie Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing each pitched a six-hiiter in the Yankees’ twin triumph over Washington. Lou Gehrig had a perfect day at bat in the opener, “four-for-four,” including his 22d homer. Joe DiMaggio hit homer No. 23 m the nightcap. : Cleveland pounded four St. Louis Browns’ pitchers for a 9-6 triumph. Odel Hale hit a homer and two singles and Hemsley, Trosky and Campbell connected for triples. The Athletics trimmed the Red Sox, 14-11, in the other American League game. It was the Red Sox sixth straight loss. Lynn Nelson rushed in’ in the ninth to stop a Red Sox rally after they had scored five runs. Jimmy Foxx hit two homers for the Red Sox and Hayes hit one for the A's.

Double Attraction ~ Booked at Stadium

A double-header will be played at Perry Stadium next Wednesday night with three outstanding semipro clubs billed for action.

Two Negro rivals, the Pittsburgh |,

Crawfords and the Nashville Elites, will tangle in the first contest at 7 o'clock. The winner then will return to the field at 9:15 p. m. to meet the Kingan Reliables. The Reliables, managed by Reb Russell, continued a successful record by capturing the state semipro championship at Terre Haute recently. The club gave up its

right to compete in the national meet at Wichita, however, in order

to go through with its schedule in Indiana. Fred Cato, stellar third baseman of the Reliables, was selected as the player most valuable in the tournament. He also was given a position on the all-tournament team with four other members of the Kingan squad, Luke Allison, catcher, Lefty

Kertis and Ray Staples, pitchers, |

and Charles Uhlir, right fielder.

Comes now the most gripping series of the season at Perry Stadium. St. Paul, American Association league leader, vs. Indianapolis, the runner-up team, in the heated chase for the pennant. And only Sept. 11 to go! : In 16 battles between: the rivals the record shows a toss-up, eight victories apiece. Six games to go between them, three here, three in St. Paul. Last year the Saints finished seve enth. Now they are on top. Last year the Indians finished sixth. Now they are in the No. 2 spot. Both clubs are under new mane agement. Ray Schalk, at the Tribe helm; Foster (Babe) Ganzel directing the Apostles. Both clubs upset the pre-season calculations of the experts and brought about an exciting race for the flag. The Apostles lead the Redskins by five and a half games and look safe for the moment, but the Schalkmen refuse to concede anything. The Tribesters muffed a chance to gain a full game last night when the Kansas City Blues knocked them off, 3 to 1, while the Saints fell before the Mud Hens at Toledo, but that’s baseball. The Indians won three and lost one in the series with the Little Yankees.

> Ladies Free Tonight

Tonight’s fracas at Perry Stadium will be a ladies’ night attraction and if downtown interest means anything there will be plenty of business at the box office. Starting.time is 8:15 o’clock. The defeat of the Indians last night was not without a bit of encouragement to the home guard. Lefty Bob Logan went the route on the Tribe mound and allowed only seven hits, but it so happened that his mates were not in a hitting mood to support his comeback pitching. Al Piechota held the Redskins to four hits and one run, and from the outset it looked like a defeat for the home boys. They were rolling out or popping up for five innings and the nearest thing to a hit during that stretch was a hard smack by Vincent Sherlock off Gil English’s glove at third base in the third stanza. It was a questionable error. Joost Slams Homer

Eddie Joost walloped a home run off Logan in the first inning and that lead held up because the Blues added to it with one run in the Towa and a third marker in the t

Two singles and a double got the Indians only one run in the sixth when they had a rally under way. Vincent Sherlock led off with a single and advanced on Buck Fausett’s infield out. Milton Galatzer lined a double to left center, scoring Sherlock, but poor base running by Galatzer or poor coaching by Manager Schaik kept Galatzer at second when the Blues forgot to send a relay man out to take the throwin. Left Fielder Gallagher threw the ball to second instead of to third, but the Indians played dumb, leaving Galatzer on second. Pete Chapman’s single was too short to score Galatzer from second and the Tribe rally was quelled when Piechota knocked down Carl Jorgensen’s hot smash and got Galatzer at the plate. :
