‘The Stove League Fires Up As Baseball Writers Gather

By JOE WILLIAMS

: NEW YORK, Jan. 30 (U. P.).— » The master minds are beginning [to drift into our village, lured by the trenchant wit, searching character studies and colorful settings of the annual baseball writers show. It will he found that Mr. Joe McCarthy of "the Yankees is glacially serene and composed. “We're the team they’ll have to beat,” he will announce as Jreporters break 7 Gan down doors in a Joe Williams mad rush for telephones. | Mr. Leo Durocher of the Dodgers ‘will be in a characteristically ebullant mood, but will be no less pro- . ‘found and thoughtful in his comments. He will say: “The team ‘that beats us will take it all.” This will provoke another furious stam‘pede to make deadlines.

Mr. Bill Terry, radiating his customary ‘chill, will have one of two observations to make: (a) “This is ‘the best team I've ever put together,” or (b): “This team will fool ‘a lot of wise guys who can't see us ‘winning the pennant.”

In ths caise there will be no + hysterical gallop to contact the news ydesk. These observations have be‘come standard with Mr. Terry. They ‘no longer excite the quick, nervous minds of journalists. Mr, Terry «said much the same thing in the - same way last year, the year before «and the year before that. “Jeannie :With the Light Brown Hair!’ wes a lovely song the first several hun‘dred times it was heard but people have tired of it, too.

McCarthy Has Job

Let's examine the local situation in further detail. There is every indication the Yankees will be winter book favorites to win. Their spring exercises rromise to be the most absorbing of the three. For the first time in years Mr.. McCarthy has a reconstruction problem on his hands. The pitching staff, to a large extent, must be made over and major alterations impend in the field. People who ought to know say the young pitchers coming up represent the class of the minors. So muck has been written about Priddy and Rizzuto, the double play combination, up from the Kansas City ivory grove, they are already as well known as some of the Yankee regulars. Mr. McCarthy could, if advance information is correct, simplify his problem by simply placing Rizzuto at short and Priddy at second! and saying, “O. K. boys, go to work. But just a year ago wasn't every_pody saying Joe. Gordon was the best Jooking second basemari to ‘break’ “Charley Gehi

Rizzuto to play on his team this year. This enlarges #rank Crosetti’s position in the Yankee picture; and explains why he hasn't been traded or sold. It appears Crosetti is not exposed to the draft and since he is still a good ball player——good enough to be wanted by four other clubs— he will be kept as insurance, as the boys call it.

But no matter what happens Mr. McCarthy seems justified in his cool confidence. Except for their power the Detroit ‘Tigers were scarcely a representative = American League leader last year; the Boston Red Sox seem less a threat than ever, and there isn’t much else in the league to beat.

As a matter of truth, despite an almost general slump, the Yanks could and probably would have won if Joe DiMaggio hadn’t experienced his usual crack up; he missed more than 20 games and while he was out the opposition | left-handed the Yankee hitters to death. That's when and how they missed . their fifth straight flag for an all-time record.

Massie Miller New Pro at Hillcrest

Massie Miller, Tipton tutor last year, will take over his duties as golf professional at the Hillcrest Country Club early in the spring, succeeding Roy Smith. The appoirnitmen:; was made yesterday by the Hillcrest board of directors. Smith recently resigned to accept a similar post at Meridian Hills vacated by Dick Nelson. Miller, g frequeat competitor in state tournaments, previously served at New Castle’s Westwood Country Club, Richmond’s Forest Hills Country Club and a Norwich, Conn., club. Miller started his professional career several years ago ai the South Grove caddy shop.

The Army Draft Has Baseball Up in the Air

Harridge ‘and Frick Uncertain About Players

By GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.— Baseball executives are groping around! in the dark these days, trying gto figure just how hard the Selective Service Act lis going to hit the national pastime. A United Pres: survey reveals that the league presidents, club officials jand players are all in the same boat—they don’t know what to expect but are ready for any emer-

gency. It seems certain that major league basebzall will lose more prominent plajers thie coming season than anybody expected last fall. It seems fairly Greenberg, Morrie Arnovich, Zeke

Bonura, Emerson Dickman and Harry Lavagetio all will be wearing khaki before the all-star game rolls. around. ; But this list isn't complete. i Both league presidents, Will Harridge of th American and Ford Frick of the Nationgl, have made a study of the situation and are frank to admit that they can’t foresee just what the future is likely to bring. Waits Developments

“We asked jour clubs to furnish us with whaiever. data they had that might bé of help to us in arriving at some conclusion,” Harridge said. “The information we received is of no valile because a player's status today might be entirely different a month frorn now or by the time the season opens.” Some ciub officials are anxious for any single player who is likely to be drafted in mid-season to volunteer for the Arm) now. Horace Stoneham, presidetit of the Giants, takes the view that a player likely to be called during the season should volunteer immediately so that he can get in his year’s stretch as soon as possible and nct lose two complete baseball seasons. Stoneham suggested that Arnovich, whose number is slated to come up in June, follow this procedure. Spike Briggs Jr., Detroit official, however, feels that any player likely to be draftecl should make his own decision about enlisting. Speaking about Greeriberg, he said, “If Hank wants to volunteer, that’s entirely up to him.” Ed Barrow, president of the New York Yankess, expects the draft to claim a higher ‘oll than anyone expected. We expect. to lose at least one pi ayer and maybe more,” he said.

Has) No Complaints

W. G. Bramham, president of the National Association (the minors), is of the opinion that the minor leagiers will suffer no great inconvenierice. “Whatever loss we do suffer in this respect,” Mr. Bramham said, “will be accepted without complaint.” Some players have taken the attitude thai they will be the “fall guys” because of the kicking around the salaries will get. “A fellows haseball career is only so long and if he has to spend a year ir. the service that’s just

prominent player said. I don’t think there are any players who won't do their bit freely. n

Hank 's Number

DETROIT, Jan. 30 (U, P.).— A selective service questionnaire jor tank Greenberg, star outfielder of the Detroit Tigers basebell club, is in the mail bound jor Honolulu and will arrive there about the same time Gréenberg does, draft board officials said today. The final cope on the American league's most valuable player! is expected about the middle of Fepruary. Board officials estimated that Greenberg would be drafted intothe Army by June 1 if he passes the physical examination. He has indicated he will not ask deferment.

Amateur Baseball Meeting is Monday

The Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association will hold its first 1941 business and dinner meeting at 6:30 p. m. next Monday at the Hoosier Athletic Club. New officers will be installed; a financial repcrt will be given, and a discussion will be held on ways of eliminating the petty squabbling that has marked games in the past. D. H. Giffin, secretary and treasurer, is accepting reservations at IR-3425.

Bulldogs Take Lacing in East

What will go down as Butler's toughest basketball week of the season is a third finished, but hardly to the Bulldogs’ satisfaction. The two remaining thirds involve 80 minutes of stiff competition with a sleeper jump sandwiched in. Tomorrow night Coach Tony Hinkle's boys in Blue move into Philadelphia to meet St. Joseph and, with scarecely time for a shower, race to the railroad station to catch an In-dianapolis-bound rattler. Less than 24 hours later they take the Fieldhouse floor against Ohio State's high scorers of the Big Ten. The Bulldogs could blame Bill King, Long Island University’s long, Negro center, for their 46-35 defeat at Madison Square Garderr in New York last night. The big pivot man, playing his last college game, hooped eight field goals and three free throws during the 34 minutes he was in action. ; Butler was in a brief 2-1 lead at the opening of the game, but once King ironed out his pivot game, the boys in Blue didn’t have a look-in. Long Island held a 30-15 margin at intermission and kept safely in front during the remaining 20 minutes. Bob Dietz was chief Butler scorer, throwing in five field goals and a free throw. The victory was L. I. U's 14th in 15 starts and gave King a.total of

iReferee to Keep Order With Horn

The steel whistle that must be carried in the mouth definitely is an occupational hazard of basketball refereeing, Herbert H. Behrent is

convinced. And Mr. Behrent should

know since he has lost virtually all his front teeth in keeping hardwood order from time to time. He believes refereeing would be a much safe livelihood if the official didn’t have to carry a noise-maker in his mouth. So he has invented what he terms a perfect substitute —a high-pitched horn that the referee carries in his hand. With the permission of Athletic Directors Brother Mel and Ed Diederich, the horn was to be given its first test this afternoon in the freshman- game between Cathedral and Broad Ripple. If it proves satisfactory, Mr. Behrent hopes to have the horn used in varsity contests. After that will come mass production—he hopes.

Here are three boys you'll be seeing a lot of if you're going to On the left is Forrest Sprowl, half the Blanken-Sprowl scoring combination, while at the right is Bob Igney, veteran Boilermaker ball-handler and sharpshooter.

A Second Time

. The Indianapolis Kautskys today held two victories over the highly touted Firestone Tires of Akron, O., as the result of a 39-36 triumph over the Ohioans at Butler Fieldhouse last night. The visitors got away to a good start, stacking up an eight-point lead as the initial quarter ended. The locals came back strong in the second quarter to assume a £17-15 lead at half time, and, continued to match points with the visitors in the third period, holding a 27-26 edge going into the final quarter, The Tiremen recovered their basket eyes to take a 36-34 lead' and then attempted to stall the game during the remaining two minutes of play. The Kautskys, on an out-of-bounds play, fed the ball to Frank Baird, who was waiting under the basket, and the former butler star registered to tie the score as the period ended. In the overtime session, Ernie Andres connected for a field goal and a free throw.
