Hunk Fr rancis Resigns at Elwood School

ELWOOD, Ind., March 19 (U. P.). «Janis P. (Hunk) Francis, who coached the 1935 Jeffersonville high school basketball team that went through the season undefeated only to lose to Anderson in the final of the state tournament, will give up his job as basketball coach and athletie director at Elwood high school at the end of the current school

year. i ‘Francis submitted his resignation to the school board last night with the statement that “certain conditions” made it impossible for him to continue as coach. : ‘His tenure at Elwood began in 19031, after a year as coach at Windfall, Ind. and following his resignation at Jeffersonville at the end of the 1935 season, when he became involved in a controversy with school officials there.

- It was reported today that Fran-

cis’ successor at Elwood would be Ed Johnson, former coach at Pendleton and now employed in defense work at Anderson. Elwood also lost its football coach recently when Paul Caldwell, former Huntingburg net coach, turned in his

resignation.

|Bold Buccos Have Walked

Plank Since Traynor Left

By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent . NEW YORK, March 19.—Ever hear the vendors shout “you can’t tell the players without a program?” Well, the smoke begrimed baseball fans of Pittsburgh are giving that ancient shill a new twist. They claim that when the Pirate team returns home from the West this spring you won't be able to tell the players even with a program. It seems that a major face lifting job has been committed at Forbes wa field. The man with the knife is Capt. Frank Frisch, a skipper whose blood letting inclinations are being compared with those of Kidd, Morgan and Bligh. During the two years Frisch has been walking the bridge, the bold Buccos have broken all track records for walking the plank. What the captain has done to the Pirate deadwood with his cutlass is more than mere face lifting. It qualifies as plastic surgery. The crew members who served under the old skipper, Pie Traynor, are going, going and gone. ) sold into bondage. Others have grets. The rest have been cut down/ to size. Only Three Remain Only three players who were reg-|s ulars under the Traynor command figure to retain their posts under Frisch in 1942, What has happened to the others has been sudden and

a remarkable turnover in all of Pittsburgh’s baseball records. Consider the Pirate line-up in Traynor’s last year. Elbie Fletcher, Pep Young, Arkie Vaughan and Lee Handley composed the infield. There were Paul and Lloyd Waner and,

and Ray Mueller were the catchers.

of starting jobs this season. Handley is on the roster, but he was injured in an auto crash in December and his condition is doubtful. The Favorites Are Gone Gone are such favorites as the Waners and Vaughan. Berres and Mueller are in the minors. Tobin is at Boston, Rizzo with Brooklyn and Brown with the Red Sox. The biggest and most recent deal was that in which Vaughan departed for Brooklyn in exchange for Jim Wasdell, Pete Coscarart, Luke Hamlin and Blimp Phelps. two utility men and a couple of characters who added a few zany pages to the already overloaded Dodger book but failed to contribute any actions significant in the won and lost columns.

Don’t get the idea Frisch traded away his star for bric-a-brac. He was woefully in need of manpower and Vaughan couldn't play four positions at once. Despite the large scale readjustment, Frisch's lot does not appear to be a happy one. None ef his men hit 300 as a major league regular last year, Butcher and Klinger were the only starting pitchers to win more than half of their games and the fielding was bad.

I don’t believe they will go any higher this year but I do believe it will be good fun when they come to Brooklyn and the umpire announces the battery— “For Pittsburgh — Hamlin and Phelps.”

But the boys in the know insist that Sanders will have the job “if he holds up.” Sanders’ record last year indicates that he may hold up for some time. He played in 151 games with Columbus, the American association pennant winner, for whom he batted in 120 runs to finish second in the association in that department. He had a batting average of .308 despite a late-season slump,

Ranked Third on Assists

Lanky Sanders was third among the circuit’s first basemen in assists, with 81 to his credit. He handled a total of 1248 chances and made only 14 errors. Despite that 4-F classification and his steady diet of pills, rookie Ray has confidence in his heart. “I'm sure it’s nothing serious, and I don’t believe it will keep me from making good with the Cardinals.” Before heading south, Sanders was more concerned over his throwing arm which was sore during the latter stages of the 1941 season, but which felt much better after an allout rest during the winter. He has been taking diathermic treatments for the arm. The rest enabled him to gain weight. Now at 25, he carries 180 pounds on a 6 foot 2 inch frame. Reports from St, Pete indicate that Sanders has become mighty popular with the erstwhile gas house gang, not merely because of his profi-
