300-Mile

King of the Midgets.

SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

ERNIE LOMBARDI is the only Cincy Red regular with a better than .300 batting average. . . . Only last October Redleg officials were wondering what they could do with Schnozzle. . . . Now they're wondering where they would land without him. . . . He is well up with the National League leaders in batting and in runs batted in.

Senior league pitchers are sorry Lombardi got up off the plate, where the Yankees left him in the last World Series. . . . Brooklyn turned down an offer of Schnozzle for Babe Phelps during the winter stove league season and Dodger Larry MacPhail admits he kicked one there. \ It is said that when Harry Craft returns to action Indianapolis Mike McCormick will be benched. . . . Johnny Rizzo has been batting hard and fielding great and appears to have the Cincinnati left field job in his lap for the time being at least. When Craft was forced out of the Red lineup by injuries he was batting a low .241. ... But young McCormick's average is down to .233.

Gordon Desires to Remain at Second

THE YANKEES declare they haven't considered bringing in Gerald Priddy from Kansas City. . . . Joe Gordon wants to remain at second base . . . says he can't play shortstop . . . can't make the long throw. Connie Mack believes the American League pennant will be settled in a series in Boston or Cleveland late in the summer. . . . Fans will recall that Connie picked the Yankees to finish third. Joe Cronin of the Red Sox intends to work in Herb Hash as a starting pitcher and to give Bill Butland a whirl. . . . Hash relieved 12 of the Red Sox first 27 engagements. . . . Butland is a Terre Haute product up from Minneapolis. . He is a graduate of American Legion Junior baseball. » n = 5 ” n

A YEAR AGO the Chicago Cubs gave the Phillies $15,000 and Kirby Higbe, Ray Harrell and Joe Marty for Claude Passeau. . . . Now a fair deal might be Highe for Passeau, Harrell, Marty and $15,000. Brooklyn fans are riding Roy Cullenbine for taking third strikes. . . . He was booed for arguing about one too long in the recent Cub series in Flatbush. . . . Roy has made one base hit in his last 23 times at bat and his average is down to .180.

Two Florida Pitchers Stay in Majors

TWO PITCHERS who came out of nowhere to stick in the majors are Sid Hudson of the Senators who last season, was in the Class D Florida State League, with Sanford, and Johnny Hutchings of the Reds, who was in Class C with Pensacola. Mike Naymick from Cedar Rapids has been hanging on with Cleveland . So have Joe Callahan from Evansville and George Barnicle from Hartford with the hard-pressed Boston Bees. Lou Boudresu winds himself up in such a position at the plate that old-timers wonder how he ever gets a hit, but his batting average is the Cleveland shortstop's answer to those finding fault with his stance ” ” o a = = 2

THE BEST of the new southpaws in the National League may be Vern Olsen of the Cubs, who won 18 games for Tulsa last year. . . . Olsen recently moved into Gabby Hartnett's starting schedule over Ken Raffensberger, who in the Cardinal chain a couple of years ago looked like a $50,000 pitcher.

Among those whe can be counted on to show some blazing | | speed in the 500-mile race next Thursday in Harry McQuinn, a big guy | who holds the national indoor midget auto racing title.

Polo Grounds Are So Bright, Ushers Sell Freckle Cream

By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 25.—With some 22,260 other baseball moths I was drawn to the flame at the Polo Grounds last night when the Giants and the Bees played the first night game in the history of the Island of Manhattan.
