By Eddie Ash

~~ IN-A letter to Sporting Jack Glasscock of Wheeling,

News, the baseball weekly, W. Va., who played on the

Indianapolis team in the Eighties, tells how Amos Rusie, the pitcher, broke in. . . . Glasscock says, in part: ; “I claim that if it had not been for me, Rusie would never have been the wonderful pitcher that he was. We had Amos on the 1889 Indianapolis club with Bancroft as

manager.

® “Bancroft was to be paid according to the position of the club. He saw he wasn’t going to get anywhere with the team, so he resigned. Mr. Brush made me manager for the rest

of the season.

“We were to play at Cleveland and my pitcher, Boyle, had a sore

arm. I had fo put in'Rusie in his first game.

Buckley, Daly and Somers.

“Buckley caught a couple of throws from Amos, and quit.

I had three catchers,

told me he would carry the hod before he would catch that blanketyblank. I putin Daly and he quit, too. So I told Somers to go in and

do the best he could. = ”

“Amos pitched and I put him

He was so wild he couldn’t pitch : speed and I nad great faith in ni

claiming that I am the one who

in the next three days, as well. a street, but he had lots of where Bancroft hadn’t, so I am 1ade him come to the front,

“We had Denny at third, the best third baseman in the game. I was at short, Bassett at second. After Amos got broken in, Buckley

caught him.”

Passeau Kept Blows Inside the Park

CLAUDE PASSEAU, Chicago Cubs’ righthander, allowed only nine home runs in 274 innings last season, for an average of one every

30.5 innings. ..

. Larry French, southpaw teammate, was second in

the National League in baffling the opposition in the round- -trip

department.

Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer, ranked fourth and seventh, respectively. .

Cincinnati's ace hurlers, . Luke Hamlin of the

Dodgers really threw that home run ball and was touched for 27 in 270 innings for an average of one every 10 frames. French's high-ranking is a surprise, since he was a soft touch

for the over-the-wall sluggers in 1938.

. Larry achieved an amazing

comeback in 1939 after he was used in regular turn.

Judge Did Whitey a Good

Turn

TWO OF THREE Reds who turned up in Cincinnati unexpectedly recently have added welcome weight this winter, but .the third, who

really needs it, hasn't been able to put on any pounds. . fortunate one. is Second Baseman Lonnie .Frey.

. The un- . Outfielder Ival

. Goodman has picked up 12 pounds and now weighs 180. Pitcher Whitey Moore attributes his increase from 185 to better than 200 to the six-month ‘suspension by a Cincinnati municipal

judge of Moore's driving license.

“Not being permitted to drive,

I've been walking the three miles back and forth from my home to Tuscarawas, O., most every day and it has caused me to grow,” Whitey

says.

When he visited Cincinnati, Mrs. Moore was doing the driving.

. “No more brushes with the law for me,” Whitey explained. . He served three days in the Workhouse and took his medicine in

silent, fashion.

By UNITED PRESS Jeffersonville and New Albany to-

‘day stamped themselves as teams to

consider when the high school basketball tourney rolls around in March by victories over Muncie Central and Seymour, rated as among the better Hoosier prep clubs. Jeff pulled one out of the fire from Muncie in the closing few minutes, 30 to 26, overcoming a two-point advantage taken by the Bearcats with only three minutes to play. The Red Devils: managed to tie the count at 26 all with 35 seconds to play and then Schumaker dropped a long shot to win the game. Just to make certain, though, Stubblefield stole the ball a few seconds later for a cinching short shot. Hensley, Muncie’s standout, counted 14 points on seven field goals. New Albany handed Seymour, leaders in the South Central Conference, its second defeat in 10 games by a score of 25 to 24, overcoming a 15-9 lead held by the Owls at the half.

By J. E. O'BRIEN The New Haven Eagles play the Indianapolis Capitals at 8:30 this evening at the Coliseum, and our boys hope, for a change, to get their rink work finished on time. The last three times out the Caps have had to work extra innings, but they haven't lost a game since way back when. In contests here against Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the Caps drew after an.added 10 minutes, while they won at Cleveland last Saturday after hours. ~The Eagles, leaders in the Eastern division, will bring a heavy-scoring combination to town, although they, like our hockey boys, have had to give up some of their talent to their big brother in the National League. Three New Haven -icers called up recently by the Montreal Canadiens were Bill Summerhill, Mancuso and Mondou. Summerhill, incidentally, still leads International-American scorers, having collected 37 points before moving into the big tent. But don’t feel sorry for our guests, for there’s plenty of power left -in the New Haven roster. Among their forwards are Tony HemmeBrling, who ranks third among leagug scorers; Glen Brydson, who Wore a Capital suit for a few games, George Patterson and Robinson. Their defense aces include Bob McCully and

Doubts Extraction Will Benefit Diz

Dr. John R. Swanson, the dentist who extracted Dizzy Dean’s impacted wisdom tooth, doubted today

Dizzy’s pitching form. * “The nerve had been $0 badly damaged that the extraction may result in no benefit at all,” he said. “That is a matter for time to reveal.” Forced to remove the adjoining molar to get to the impacted tooth, Dr. Swanson said the operation was carried off “without incident, and Mr. Dean is a very good patient.” The extraction only required 10 ‘minutes, but the dentist said Dizzy might have to wait months before he would know whether it would help his ailing pitching arm. Dean, who won 31 games for the St. Louis Cards in 1934, has triumphed but 13 times since Phil Wrigley paid $185,000 to bring him to the Cubs at the beginning of the 1938 season. When Wrigley announced that Dean’s 1940 salary would just be half of the $20,000 he drew last year and the yeat before, Dizzy began blaming his trouble on bad shoulder nerves tracable to the Hpacted wisdom tooth.

Capitals Anxious to Quit Work on Time Tonight

Hoch, while Wwilfie Cude will do the goal guarding. It’s almost impossible to list the Capitals according to positions, for Manager Herbie Lewis intends to juggle the lineup as the need arises. With Eddie Bush and Scotty Bowman out, Indianapolis is short a man in the defense line, and it’s up to Buck Jones, Sandy Ross and Bob Whitelaw to handle the guarding assignments. However Lewis or Hec Kilrea can take over if any of this trio needs rest. Alfie Moore, the league's spare goalie, was to arrive today and will fill in for the injured Jimmy Franks in front of the cage. .

|Bulldog Cagers - Will ‘Meet

‘DePauw Tomorrow.

The round of. intersectional and non-league games on its ‘schedule apparently hasn’t diverted Butler's

33 | attention from the defense of its

Indiana College Conference basketball title. The Bulldogs hung up their sec-

33lond conference victory of the sea-

son last night, turning in a 49-35 triumph over Franklin College at the Fieldhouse. They will go after their 13th straight league victory tomorrow night, meeting DePauw at Greencastle. * Considering previous games in the Fieldhouse this year, battle resembled a high school contest in that both clubs approximated the same height. It was the first time Butler's little Bulldogs had been matched with Spfonents their own size. Refuse to Accept Gifts A distressing highlight of fhe game was that Butler's defending conference champs could not register at the free throw line again. The Bulldogs made only one free toss in 11 attempts. Capt. Jerry Steiner, who racked up 37 points in two games last week, missed four in a row. : _ In scoring their sixth victory this year the locals banged away at the backboard 87 times, making good on 24 shots for a .276 average. The Grizzlies hit 13 of 63 field goal attempts for a .204 average and made good on nine of 12 free throw attempts. Neither club established its offense in the first half.. Early play was marked by considerable ball stealing and the one-man showing of Louis Leerkamp, Franklin's sophomore forward from Washington High School. Leerkamp faked his guards for eight points in the first period and kept his teammates in the running although they never held the lead. Butler was in front, 22-16, at the half. Parade of Subs Starts Butler opened the second half like a Mexican revolution, catching the Franklin defense off guard. The Bulldogs continued their march until they held a 41-to-24 lead. Then Coach Tony Hinkle began substituting freely. The two teams matched point for point until the last two minutes when the Grizzlies scored four free throws. on three personal fouls called consecutively against Wilbur Whitinghill, Butler forward, Sums mary: Butler (49) Franklin 2» FT PF
