hicago Shows It's Not Out of Big Ten

Yet

| SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

- AMERICAN ASSOCIATION moundsmen, = records disclose, had all the better of the argument with their pinch-hitting opponents throughout the 1939 season. . . . Batting averages of the boys who are sent in when the “well-known “clutch” occurs suffered a sharp slashing over the preceding year. i EL : Back in 1938 some 603 pinch-hitters were sent to the platter, and of this number 158 delivered with safe hits,

for a very creditable average of .262. . . . But in 1939 it

was a different story, only 140 hits ringing off the war clubs of 610 batsmen, cutting the average down to a mere .230. The outstanding club in this matter of pinch-hitting was the ‘Indianapolis aggregation. . . . Tribesmen collected 22 hits in 71 attempts for the astounding average of .310 or 50 points better than the Indians’ nearest rivals, the Louisville Colonels, with their average of .260. n 2 8 = ! TOLEDO’S MUD HENS, with a mark of ,250, and Minneapolis with 1.236 were the other clubs to compile better than the league average. . . . Columbus was fifth with .208, Milwaukee sixth with .205, the champion Kansas City Blues seventh with an even .200,. and St. Paul last with .181. : Columbus used the most pinch-hitters, 106, and also the most different men, 24, while Minneapolis used the fewest of this variety, 185, and Milwaukee the least number of men, 13.

Bill Baker Delivers in Huge Way

AL FISHER of Columbus and Rufus Jackson of St. Paul appeared the most often in substitute hitter roles, 20, and neither was successful in a spectacular way, Fisher getting but five safeties and Jackson four. Of the 15 men who were used 10 or more times, the best records were compiled by Bill Baker of Indianapolis and Ralph Boylg of Kansas City, Baker with an average of .455 and Boyle with one of .400. Ten home runs were delivered by pinch hitters, two each by Otto Denning and George Lacy. of Minneapolis, and Fabian Gaffke of Louisville—those by (Gaffke being his only safeties in 11 swings—and one each by Boken and Reis of St. Paul, Moore of Indianapolis and Fisher of Columbus. ” 8 o }

IN ADDITION to the 10 circuit blows. there were 12 doubles and six triples, Boyle being the only player to get one: of each, while Ralph Winegarner of Milwaukee was the lone performer to get a pair of either, his being doubles. |. A total of 89 pinch-hitters went down swinging, Fisher, and Connie Flippen of Toledo leading in this respect, each putting on five whiffing bees. . . . Flippen had an unusual record in that heewas used six times, delivered once with a hit, and fanned on every other occasion. . . . Toledo players fanned the greatest number of times, 23, St. Paul the fewest times, five.

Dozen Walks Issued Tribe Swingers

THERE WERE 84 other pinch-hitters who were not credited, -ince 73 received walks, nine sacrificed and two, Denning of Minneapolis and Dwyer of Toledo, were struck by pitched balls. . . . The only player sacrificing more than once when appearing as a pinch-batsman was Buck Pausett of the Millers, twice. Indianapolis received the most bases on balls, an even dozen, while the fewest, five in number, went to Minneapolis. . . . Fourteen pinch-hitters were franked to first on two occasions, while one, Boyle, received three of the free tickets. ” » - > ALFIE MOORE, veteran icer who has been sharing the goalie duties’ with Nick Damore for the Hershey Bars, is to join the Indianapolis hockey team at once, Manager Herb Lewis announced last night. . . . Jimmy Franks, the locals’ twine-minder, will be out _ of action indefinitely. . . . He was to undergo an operation today and may be lost for the season. } Alfie Moore is a seasoned performer and last year was named on the International-American League All-Stars by a vote of the loep’s managers, . . League officials recently named Moore the substitute goalie for the entire circuit and Indianapolis- is the first team to hang out the distress sign at the nets.

Lewis Successful With Replacements

CHIEF LEWIS is looking for the jinx that has trailed his team and hopes the tide will turn pronto. . . . However, he has been successful with replacements and promises to have the Caps on edge for ~ the battle with the New. Haven Eagles here Thursday. E Indianapolis is leading New Haven by five points but the rivals stack about even on paper. *, , The Eagles have averaged 3 2-5 goals a game, the Capitals 3 8-29. . . . On the defense the Hoosiers have held opponents to a goal average of 210-29 to 2 14-25 for the Easterners. - New Haven has played five less games, and discounting ties, is only a half a game back of the Capitals. :

Little Posts His 1st Big Win as Pro

Former Amateur Golf King Pockets $1500 Top Cash In Los Angeles Open.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9 (U, P.).— Lawson Little, king of the amateur golfers four years ago, today held his first major victory since turning professional. He won the $1500 top money in the Los Angeles Open tournament. The husky slugger from Bretton Woods, N. H, closed a five-stroke lead yesterday with an amazing 65 that gave him a 72-hole total of 282. He nosed out Clayton Heafner of Linville, N. C., by a single stroke. Heafner, who had led the field into the finals, took $900 as his share of the pot. 3 - Olin Dutra of Los Angeles cap-

285 and Jimmy Hines of Great Neck, N. Y., pocketed $500, posting a 289.

Rain Soaks Course

and United States amateur crowns in 1934 and 1935, regained for the first time since entering professional ranks the form that made him the scourge of the amateurs. Holding back as the big field struggled over the rain-swept Los Angeles Country Club course in the opening days of play, Little bore down when pressure counted most and came home with the most spectacular final round in the tournament’s 15-year-old history. . The galleries followed Dawson an Hogan and Heafner. Little played almost unnoticed. A brilliant 32 over the ‘soaking first nine put him within one stroke of the leading Heafner and the battle lines were formed. : Heafner, the strapping Southerner who had led for the past two days, stroked each shot with a champion’s ease and was rolling along in par. Against normal competition he was almost a cinch for the pot. But none could match Little’s pace.

Tops Shot on 14th

The broad-shouldered former amateur king, once with the lead in sight, faltered but once on the 17th but three previous birdies still gave him the narrow margin. Although he topped his second shot on the 14th he still got up on the green and in with a birdie, and again in the 16th his_game grew hotter as a 25-foot chip shot plopped onto the soggy green and into the cup for another birdie. A three-putt on the 17th cut his lead a stroke but an easy four on the final hole brought him in safely, because Heafner also floundered at the 17th and failed an almost impossible deuce that would have tied the score. : Vines Among Leaders

Hollywood’s Johnny Dawson walked off’ with the amateur honors and tied with Jimmy Hines at 289, while Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena and Wilford Wehrle of Chicago deadlocked for .the second amateur prize with aggregate 303. Five professionals finished with 290 and split the fifth pot, each taking $218. They were Matt Kowal of Philadelphia; Tony Penna, Dayton, O., Jimmy Thomson, Chi- | copee, Mass. Al Krueger, Beloit, | Wis., and Dutch Harrison, Little | Rock, Ark. f | Tied for sixth money with 291 cards and each collecting $75 were Jimmy Demaret, Houston, Tex., and Ben Hogan, White Plains, N. Y, Horton Smith, Oak Park, Ill.; Vic

Ogkland, Cal, finished in the 292 bracket and won $45 each, while Dick Metz of Chicago posted a 293 and collected $25.

(ziant Club Puts 38 Contracts in Mail

Thirty-eight New York Giant contracts were in the mail today en ute to players and coaches Travis Jackson and Frank Snyder. ™ Carl Hubbell already had signed his contract at the close of the 1939 season, making a total of 37 players who will report to the Giants’ spring training camp at Winter Haven, Fla. Giant Secretary Eddie Brannick denied that catcher Harry Danning and outfielder Mel Ott already had anticipated in getting their signatures. One of the contracts was sent to Zeke Bonura, the big first-baseman whom manager Bill Terry’ tried to trade all winter. However, it was understood that the $15,000 salary he received last year was sliced

Report Ex-Carnegie Coach Eyes W. Virginia Post.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 8 (U. P).— Another football coaching casualty, Bill Kern of Carnegie Tech, scanned the college “help wanted” column today, and he was reported considering the vacancy at the University of West Virginia. Kern's resignation was announced last night by graduate manager of athletics, Clarence Overend. It confirmed rumors that began in midseason, Kern's third here since playing and coaching under Jock Sutherland at Pitt. He brought the eastern championship to Tech in 1938 and took his team to the Sugar Bowl to lose to T. C. U. Kern had

Coach Billy Thom, 179, pits his speed against the tricky Kiman Kudo, 177, Japan, in one of the features on tonight's double windup wrestling attraction at the Armory. In the other top offering, Tom Zaharias, 225, Pueblo, Colo., will ply his rough tactics against Louis Thesz, 230, St. Louis, a former heavyweight champ. Both tussles are for two falls out of three. The Kudo-Thom encounter promises plenty of action as the Indiana University grappling mentor is deterrnined to halt the winning streak of Kiman.
