SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

BOB KLINE, the Milwaukee Brewers’ 225-pound pitcher, is out of the game for a month as result of a knee injury received last Sunday when he slipped while fielding a ball. | . . Torn ligaments put him on the shelf, . . . He 18 a righthander.

What looked like a dumb play brought victory to Toledo over the Brewers last Sunday. . . . With the bases loaded in the ninth, one out and the score a tie, 2-2, Byrnes of the Mud Hens sent a popup between the mound and the plate. . . . Under the infield fly rule, the batter was automatically out. Third Baseman Charlie English of the Brewers called for the ball but Bob Garbark collided with him and the ball bounced out of the catcher’s mitt. Ordinarily a runner on third remains on base under such condi tions, but Criscola, an excited Toledo freshman, took off for the plate and went over with the winning run as Garbark slipped in the soft going and was slow in retrieving the ball.

Cincy Pitchers Get Flawless Support

CINCYS® REDS have played three errorless games. . Joe Medwick of the Cardinals is nursing a lame back and a grouch. . . . Cleveland collects 20 cents tax on each ladies’ day ticket and the feminine fans have to send their requests in self-addressed stamped envelopes, which makes the total cost 24 cents The Cleveland club's tentative mound big four consists of Bob Feller, Johnny Allen, Willis Hudlin and Al Milnar There are six former Chicago players on the Detroit Tigers. . . . | They are Buck Newsom, Dick Bartell and Lynn Nelson, erstwhile Cubs, and Bruce Campbell, Billy Sullivan and Frank Metha, former | White Sox.

» ‘8 | SEVEN OF the eight towers which make up the Pittsburgh Pirates’ new $125000 night baseball plant have been completed. . The bulbs will have their first tryout the night of June 4 when the Bucs play the Boston Bees . A $30,000 electric scoreboard also has been installed at Forbez Field.

Bees Soft Touch for Tex Carleton

TEX CARLETON has defeated the Boston Nationals 31 times in 41 starts over his major league career. . Tex believes he has a pretty good chance to come back with Brooklyn this vear. . . . So does Leo Durocher, manager. Durocher is eager to get Carleton off on the right foot and picked a good spot for him against the Bees yesterday. Tex, who has not been below 500 since 1932, his first vear up, believes he can pitch in the majors despite the rather unimpressive 10-9 record he compiled at Milwaukee last season

» | i SO FAR, Carleton is Manager Durocher’s fourth pitcher. . . . On | the other hand, Leo is concentrating on Hugh Casey, Luke Hamlin | and Whitlow Wyatt, . These are his top three and Durocher | plans to work them in turn to the exclusion of the rest of the staff. | This situation may work to Carleton’s disadvantage The vet | eran needs a regular turn to maintain effectiveness and control. |

Mancuso Is World Series Veteran

CUS MANCUSO, San Antonio Italian and dean of Brookivn's catching stafl, has sniffed more World Series smoke than any other backstop in the National League. . . . Gus caught for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Athletics in i930 and 1931. and for the Giants in 1933, 1936 and 193% His nearest rival is Gabby Hartnett, a Cub entrant in the World Series of 1929. 1932. 1935 and 1938 ! Jimmy O'Dea, Giants’ catcher, used to be an ambitious slugging outfielder for Keokuk . Then he tried catching and when they elected him all-star Texas League catcher at Houston he decided that the receiving job was his right line. | » = » | ONE ACHIEVEMENT of Bucky Walters last vear that is generally overlooked is the fact that he pitched more compiete games than any | National League hurler accomplished in the last 16 years Bucky had 31 full-term games which he both started and finished. + + . To top that you have to go back to 1923, when Burleigh Grimes handled 33 contests for Brooklyn all by himself.

Yanks’ Guffaws Are Muffled:

Boastful Red Sox Win Again

By GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 24.—The Yankees weren't laughing so loud today at the Red Sox's challenge to knock them off the American League perch. Beaten twice in four starts, the Yanks are beginning to squirm a little as the opposition pours southpaw pitching to them and their five lefthanded hitters.
