By Eddie Ash
CHUCK ALENO, star thitd baseman from the Birmingham Barons, is one player the Indianapolis club hopes to land from the Cincinnati Reds for the 1941 season. . , . He is 23 years old, 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs
190 pounds. |
Last year, with Birmingham he bated .332 and made 182 hits good for 248 bases. . . . He was rafel the best defensive hot corner man in the Southern Association. | Aleno will go to training camp with the Reds, of course. but he is unlikely to supplant the veteran Bill Werber, one of the idols of the Queen City fans. . . . Werber added to his fame by going great guns in the 1940 World Series anc he’ll have to slip plenty. to be nudged out of a regular job on the champs’ infield. And Hoosier eyes are upon Aleno through the working sgreement between the hometown Indians and Reds. . ... The Tribe has a hole at third base where Wayne Blackburn finished last year, . . . Wayne is a good batsman Lut is weak defensively at that important spot on the innerworks.|. , .’He doesn’t have the hands for spearing the hot ones. | Johnny Hill and Don Lang were ¢thers who had whirls at the Tribe third sack last season and both were weak in the field and at bat. . . , The Cincinnati clubt press bureau contributes the following rundown on Aleno: “He has a baseball philosophy that] has helped him over the rough spots of his short career, and he believes it will do the same for him here on in... . His idea/is to go out there and do the very best you can, battle for every inch, and then let happen what may.” | “It was this philosophy that helped him win a regular berth with the Birmingham team last spring, when most people figured he would be just one of those boys spending some time ia the Barons’ camp. ., . . Reason for the lack of enthusiasm surrounding his chances centered in his 1939 record at Durham in the Class B Piedmont League.”
Operation Gives Him New Start |
“BATTING AVERAGES showed thab Aleno’s record with @ club two classes below Birmingham was .253! but they didn’t show that the boy had compiled this while playing with an injured knee that would have kept most players out of the game altogether.” : “The averages also didn’t show that leno had the knee opé¢rated on after the 1939 season, nor did they reveal anything abolli the nerve and perseverance of young Mr. Aleno” “At any rate, when the Southern League season opened, Chuck was on third base. . . . When the season closed, he was still on ‘third base, but by then was a sensation.” i.
8 8 = 15s eo»
“This upward movement vindicateéd|the judgment of the scouts, who, when Chuck broke in with Deland of the Florida League in 1937, claimed he was a sure-fire prospect, one who was a cinch to climb up the baseball ladder quickly/... That year Alen batted .326 in 110 games.” { : “The next season, the one in which he became injured, he divided his time between Deland and Muskogee, of the Western Association, batting .314 at Deland and 333 at Muskogee, . . « In 1939 he was at Durham.” : . “Aleno ‘bats righthanded. . . . He certainly has the physical qualifications, plus a fine temperament.” .
Lelivelt Well Known in A. A. | :
THE DEATH of Jack Lelivelt iin Seattle the other day comes as a shock to his many friends in the American Association. .. . He was a fine player in the A. A. and also a successful manager. As a matter of fact, when Lelivelt piloted the Milwaukee Brewers that city made a habit of breaking attendance records, a far cry from the baseball situation [here today. : As manager of the Seattle team, Jack also set up attendance records in the Pacific Coast League that made some A. A. cities
look feeble in comparison to population. Lelivelt was a smart developer of young talent and was always
hustling out on the field. . . . He was a familiar figure at taseball meetings and seldom was outsmarted in a player deal. ; | * # =
» » » N GENE THOMPSON is no halfway pitcher. . . . Tue star young righthander of the Reds can tell very early if he has his stuff. . . . When he hurls a complete game, it’s usually 2 winner, ag evidenced by his 1940 record, which shows that he aurled 17 complete contests, 15 of Shick: Fors vivinien « «'« He hur led one ro-hit game and three three-hitters, : - I os once in the last six seasohs has Paul Derringer of the Reds walked more than 50 men. . . . The high mark for tae period came in 1937, when he passed 55 bajters.

It was against Franklin in the last game of the 1937-38 season thai the Bulldogs began their consecutive string of 18 coniérence victories.

Ready to Chase Bisons
Ohio State’s Big Ten Leaders Averaging 54 Points a Game; Minnesota Best on Defense
Fireball Five Runs Second in Both Departments: Boilermakers Off Their Usual Scoring Pace
Pct. 1.000 1.000 300 S50 * 667 500 333 . 250 .000 000 0
An early diagnosis of the Big Ten basketball situation reveals that Ohio State’s Buckeyes have stolen Hoosier thunder as the league's best basket makers, while Minnesota's Gopher§ have the most eflective defense. In three games the Buckeyes have averaged 54 points a game and limited 1their opponents to 39, coasting in by an average of 16 points a game. It must be mentioned, however, that the Bucks have done this damage against Northwestern, Chicago and Michigan, which altogether have won only one of 12 games. The critics will be able to get a better line on the Columbus crew after its next three games—namely with Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana, Coach Branch McCracken’s Fireball Five from Indiana is the only other 50-point-a-game team in the league. The Hoosiers have averaged an even 50 in their games against Northwestern and Illineis, while limiting the opposition to 35 points a game. That ranks the Hoosiers second hest in both oifense and defense. Perhaps the biggest surprise in the young season has been the per= formance of Purdue's defending champions. Usually the hottest fire= wagon in the Conference, Piggy Lambert's five has failed to get a point a minute and has seen its opponents score 45.6 points a game to its own 39. : The easiest teams to score against have been Chicago and Northe western, the former allowing its foes 48.6 points a game and the Wilde cats giving up 48. Chicago also has the dubious honor of being the

Boston Passes Detroit Icers
By UNITED PRESS
Boston’s Bruins climbed to second place in the National Hockey League and stretched their unbeaten streak .to 12 straight games by edging the New York Rangers, 4-3, in an overtime game last night. Reserve winger Herb Cain fired the winning goal at 6:35 of the overtime period after snagging a double relay from Milt Schmidt and Bobby Bauer. Cain, just recalled after a stay with the Hersey farm club, tied the score at 2-2 in the third and less than a minute later, passed to Bauer for the tally that put Boston ahead, 3-2. Phil Watson’s counter set the game into overtime. No other games were scheduled. ‘The standings: w

Phillips Players Here Sunday Aren't Basketball Career Men
Short careers are the lot of most Phillips 66 players and the national A. A. U. championship team which will make. its first visit to this center
of Indiana's basketball stronghold Sunday is no exception. Phillips, winner of both the Missouri valley and national A. A. U. titles last spring, will play the first of two games with the StewartWarner Duo-Temps at the Cathedral High School gym Sunday afternoon. The teams will meet again Monday night at Columbus. The 10 men who compose Coach Chuck Hyatt’s traveling squad haye been with the team an average of less than three years. This isn’t because past performers couldn't hold their places, but because their primary interests lay in oil industry careers, not lives as “tramp ath-

His 210 pounds coupled with ability and stamina have kept him at the top longer than most 66-ers. As they swung out of the north last week-end, heading homeward on the end of a 19-game tour, the Phillips flippers looked back on a record of 19 victories in their first 23 games of the season.

Four Games on

Final examinations have curtailed state college basketball activity, but four games are scheduled this evening. : Ball state’s invasion of Terre Haute to meet Indiana State tops the card, with N. C. A: G. U. at Earlham, Manchester at Western Michigan State and Rose Poly at Shurtleff in other games. Oakland City thought for a while last night that it was going to give Central Normal its second straight defeat, but the Warriors stormed back in the final minutes to take a close 40-38 decision. Leading, 19-16, at the half, the Oaks stayed in front until Underwood’s toss from the outfield in the final minutes tied the score. Janeway of Central Normal then dropped in a basket—his seventh of the affair—for the victory. Taylor had little trouble with Griffen at Upland, chiefly because of Don Odle. He tossed in 11 buckets and three field goals to pace Taylor to a 57-28 victory. N. C. A. G. U. scored its second straight win by thumping Huntington, 492-29.
