THAT'S WHAT RED RUFFING
SAYS
JRUFFING the Red—Red Ruffing to you—the New
York Yankees’ big righthander, has informed his mates that he has perfected a new delivery which checks with descriptions of Christy Mathewson’s fadeaway. . . « After six weeks’ of experimenting in California and F lorida, the veteran believes he has mastered Matty’s specialty. “This latest pitch of mine is fot a screwball, and |it does not resemble the sailer which I have been throwing the last three years,” Ruffing told an audience at the Yanks’ St. Petersburg camp the other day. “It comes up innocent-like, and you think it’s the old fastball, but in the last foot or so it does something. “It shoots in toward a righthanded hitter and fades on the bat’s handle. Pitched to a lefthanded batter it fades outside, and it is impossible to pull it. Part of the effect is produced by pinching the ball extra hard with the index finger. : “I can control this pitch and tell you exactly how it operates. I can’t do that with regard to my sailer. Once
that leaves my hand I don’t know exactly what it does.” ” ” = 8 ” ” 1 AST season, with 21 victories and seven defeats, Big Red not anly 1 led the American League but went over the 20-mark for the first time in 14 years in the loep. . . . This is his 10th with the Yankees. oAt 33 he found that he was a far better pitcher than ever before in his carger, . . . He paid more attention to studying. the hitters, pitching to spots . . . and another important ‘actor was condition. . . . He watched his diet, got a regular eight hours lof slumber, quit golf during the league season and cut down his |bating practice to a minimum. Red is a great hitter for a pitcher and in other years spent extra time taking licks with the regulars to sharpen his eye for pinch hitting «duties. » ” 2 ” # 8 IRAM BITHORN, the big Puerto Rican pitcher with Kansas City, established one of the most unique Tecords in the history of baseball while hurling for Norfolk of the Piedmont League in 1937... Any number of hurlers boast of winning games on consecutive days, but Bithorn did it without removing his uniform or leaving the park. Hiram pitched and won the first game of a night doubl:-header in the Durham park. . . . The second game was to have been a seveninning affair. . ..

championship race. Indians Too Powerful
‘If heart and will could have made up for inexperience and lack of size, New Winchester’s. Warriors might have turned the tide against the Indians in the regional titie game at Anderson last Saturday
night. Anderson’s power was too much for them, however, and they were beaten by a 40-tn-31 score. ' In the regional afternoon round, Ray McVay, a litle black-haired fellow with more bounce than a nervous kangaroo, led the New Winchester attack which gave the Warriors a 34-t0-32 victory over Southport—a team that had held a 17-to-12 margin at the half.. Anderson advanced to the regional final game by brushing past Greenfield, 42 to 21, in a game that left much to be desired both from the point of view of execution and as a dramatic spectacle. Strangely enough, basketball as
|played by the Anderson Indians
seems to involve as much dialogue —otr maybe I should say monologue —as it does dribbling, passing and shooting. They Like to Talk
The Indians keep up a constant chatter to distract their opponents, znd while this technique may have had some effect on Greenfield, it seemed to make not the slightest impression on the Warriors. Assuming that elimination of Southport could not be classed strictly as an upset, the Anderson regional came off pretty well according to advance predictions—a fact which decreased its attractiveness somewhat from a news and a spectator standpoint. In basketball as in every other tvpe of sport,» the nonpartisan spectator usually begins rooting for the “little fellow” before the game is over. New Winchester High School, with a total enrollment of only 25 boys, was the perfect “little fellow” to draw this kind of support. With Anderson missing shofs in bunches, the New Winchester team led at the end of the first quarter, 5 to 4.. The Warriors stretched this advantage to 7 to 4 early in the second period, but Ora Davis, Indian center, then found the range to hit three field goals, and put the host team to a lead that the Warriors never were ‘able to overcome.
Improve With Time
It was 13 to 11 in Anderson’s fa-|
vor at the half and by the end of the third quarter Henry Pate and Frank Klee had boosted the Anderson lead to 30 to 20. While the New Winchester defense slumped in the second half, the Anderson teamwork seemed to improve as the game progressed. At the finish the Indians were tacking goals to the end of lightning-like thrusts that left the Warriors bewildered. The Southport- New Winchester game had more thrills than Ben Hur done with horses. The Marion
{County team got away to a fast
start and might have taken this one except for McVay. He was so hot it would have taken a fire department to put him out. He made

Jim Wilson was the only member of the Greenfield team that seemed able to cope with Anderson in the other afterncon game. He accounted for four baskets and a free throw, an effort duplicated or betered by four of Anderson's starting five. Coach Archie R. Chadd substituted an entire team near the close of the contest and the Greenfdeld boys were able to hold their own with the second stringers. Highlight of the entire tournament was the effort of New Winchester in the night game to match the superior technique of Anderson with long shots from the middle of the floor. Maybe they named the Warriors wrong, anyhow. Why didn't they call them the New. Winchester

Two Cincinnati Pitchers Hold Brooklyn Hitless
TAMPA, Fla., March 13 (U. P.).—A couple of Johnny Vander Meer’s Cincinnati Red teammates collaborated to pitch the first no-hit game of the season, and maybe the first in Grapefruit League history yesterday. .Vander Meer, last season the first pitcher in baseball annals to hurl two no-hitters in succession, had been scheduled to pitch against Brooklyn, but he was in bed with a slight case of influenza. So, his mates, Whitey Moore and Junior Thompson, blanked the Dodgers, 5-0.
There were no hits in the box score, but there should have been one—a double by Pete Coscarart, but some Dodger base-running erased it. Pete reached second safely on his first-inning slice down the right field foul line, but failed to touch first and when the ball was relayed to McCormick, he was called out. The epidemic of colds and influ‘enza had seven members of the Reds in bed. They were Vander Meer, Paul Derringer, star hurler who was sick enough to be sent to St. Joseph’s Hospital; Gene Schott, Willard . Hershberger, Billy Myers, rookie Bernie De Forge and Trainer Dick Rhode.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 13 (U. P.).—The Brooklyn Dodgers come here tc meet the world champion New York Yankees today. Manager Joe McCarthy nominated the 3-H hurling squad
—Hadley, Haley and Hildebrand—
to oppose the club that failed to get a safety against twe Cincinnati pitchers yesterday.
ST. PETERSEURG, Fla. March 13 (U. P.)..-The St. Louis Cardinals were heartened by the performances of their veterans during their 9-3 victory over the New York Yankees which evened the exhibition series of the two teams. ‘Don Padgett, former outfielder, drew praise for his performance as. a catcher for seven innings.

First Baseman Hal Trosky is due in camp today,.leaving four holdouts—Earl Averill, Lyn Lary, Willis Hudlin and Johnny Broaca—absent. The Indians dropped a 10-8 decision to Jersey City yesterday.
LAKELAND, Fla., March 13 (U. P.) —Frank Higgins was on the Detroit Tigers’ sidelines today twith a badly gashed heel. He was spiked, accidentally, by Pitcher Roxie Lawson yesterday. He will be out three weeks.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 13 (U. P.,.—Manager James (Doc) Prothro wasn’t any too happy today after the showing of his Philadelphia Phillies in their second game of their exhibition series with the St. Louis Browns, which they dropped, 11-6. Jim Henry, former Minneapolis hurler, held the Browns to one safety during three frames, and left the mound with a 2-0 lea. Then came Jennings Poindexter, young southpaw, and the game wes practically over.
LAKE CHARLES, La., March 13 (U. P.).—Connie Mack, veteran president-manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, planned today to give a lot of careful attention to his infield defense. The A’s displayed a sieve-like quality in. dropping a 14-8 decision to the New York Giants yesterday. Bill Lillard, shortstop purchased from San Francisco, had an off day, and his errors helped swell the enemy score,

Conference. Others in the Muncie riot are Auburn, which has
teams which South Side overshadowed all year, and Burris of

: |every game to achieve its first re- ; [gional tournament victory. Assured
that it has everything to gain and nothing to lose, Burris is a tough foe
i [for any tournament team at this : | stage of the game.
Northwest's Power Missing
The outstanding fact about the semifinal in Hammond is that none of the tough teams from the extreme Northwest portion of the state The other
ishing trouncing that Hammond took from La Porte. Hammond was the runnerup to South Side for the title last year and held a Christmas tournament decision over Frankfort, the 1939 favorite. The Hot Dogs, who averaged El points a game in the regionals and a fraction short of 55 points a game in the sectionals, bump into La Porte in the first‘game at Hammond, and should win over the Slicers, who won only six games while losing 17 in the regular season. La Porte nudged Rensselaer, which had eased out Valparaiso, the favorite after Hammond bowed, by one point. The second Hammond game brings Logansport, the 1934 champion, against the Elkhart Blue Blazers. Elkhart settled an old score by clipping Mishawaka in the regional final after finishing second to Central of South Bend in the Northern Conference Eastern division. But Logansport is nobody's pushover today and will provide a battle for anyone, But barring an upset, the Hammond semifinal is Frankfort’s, The semifinal at Evansville brings together Vincennes, the champ in 1923, and a surprising Salem team which downed the regional favorite, Seymour. In the other half, Evansville Bosse, the “pocket area” favorite after the defeat’ of Evansville Central, meets Garfield of Terre Haute, the stunner of the sectional and regional meets. But even though the cash won't be on Ossian to come through, sentiment will be riding with them as the “people’s choice” to knock off the big city boys for the state title.
