BURT SHOTTEN, manager at Columbus last year and now coach with the Cleveland Americans, is given credit for Max Marshall's rise to the majors. . « Marshall, as you know, is now ecavorting in the outfield for the

Cincinnati Reds. The Towa diamond pastimer had been kicking around thé minors for a half a dozen seasons before the Reds purchased his contract from the American Association Red Birds a few weeks ago. Marshall had been tossed around the St. Louis Cardinal organization and nobody seemed too high on him as a big league prospect, although he has power, speed and a great arm, Then Burt Shotten took over, built up the player's confidence, and instead of cutting him adrift, as many of the club's followers thought he would, developed him into a star With the Red Birds last season Marshall batted §302 and batted ih 101 rens. |. He was supposed to be weak against southpaws, but Shotten told him to forget they were southpaws. . . . Théh big Max went out and lived up to his managers expectations by belting five hits if a row off a left hander. . . . He is a left hand batter, Marshall is 28 years old and a family man. . He is the father of three children

Yeah, Indians Were Last in 1930

LAST TIME the Imdianapolis Indians finished last was ih 1930 Johnny Corridéen was their skipper. Since the organization of the American association in 1002 the Redskins finished last four . . Toledo holds he league's cellar record, 10 times in the coal hole. . . . Louisville next, seven times in the basement. Minneapolis never has finished last and doesn't intend to receive a basement bath this season . The Millers certainly pickea up valuable ground the last couple weeks and are threatening to break up the two-club race between Milwaukee and Kansas City. . « The Millers finished a fourth last year Mm 1928 Minneapolis chased Indianapolis home, the Indians taking the pennant by 2%: games over the runner-up Millers, . « It was the Indians’ last pennant (their fourth) 14 years ago.

times

» 5 & 64 THE MILLERS begin a long home stand tomorrow against the eastern clubs and they figure to continue splurging on their home grounds, that tight little bandbox known as Nicollet park. . Therefore, don't be too surprised to see Tom Sheehan's gang percheq at the top shortly, despite the fact the Brewers and Blues are leading them now Also rolling are the Louisville Colonels but just ahead of them iz a long road journey through the West, always tough for eastern A A teams

Babe Drissel batted in all of Gold Medal's runs with two homers. Paul Bowman and Shirley Eads hit for the circuit for Leonard.
