Mungo the Magnificent Is Reincarnated With Giants
Times Special NEW YORK, July 31—Two years ago, visions like this probably would have committed you to an institution. The door of the New York Giants’ dressing room opens. Van Lingle Mungo walks in. No one reaches for a revolver. There is no odor of
tar and feathers.
Dick Bartell stands up. “Your locker’s right next to mine, Van old
scout,” he beams. Thiy smile exchange little social amenities. The room is heavy with esprit de corps. It has come to pass. Mungo the Magnificent has been reincarnated at Coogan’s Bluff. The transition will alarm sociologists. From near infancy, Mungo was trained by such gentle souls as Wilbert Robinson, Max Carey, Casey Stengel, Burleigh Grimes and Leo Durocher to loathe the New Yorkers.
Highly Recommended
His hate for the Giants is legendary. There was that charming afternoon when he dusted off Bartell and Rowdy Richard charged him with flashing spikes. The setto terminated with Mungo clamping a half-Nelson on. the noisy, little infielder and throttling him quite unmercifully. Yet, if time will not heal these wounds, Mungo’s fast ball will. He comes highly recommended. Scout Dutch Reuther of the Chicago Cubs calls him the “best pitcher in the minors.” General Manager Bill Terry gave him a personal onceover before the Giants bought him. Reports from Minneapolis, where he won 11 and lost 3 with the soso Millers, say he is in perfectly workable condition. His main trouble there was his inability to stay at full strength throughout an
Schroeder Near Title
SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y., July 31 (U. P.).—Sidney B. Wood Jr. of Southampton and Ted Schroeder of Glendale, Cal.,, both with divisional titles apparently clinched, meet their most formidable opponents today in the Meadow club's round robin tennis tournament. Wood wen the group two title yesterday and Schroeder went so far ahead he all but clinched the group one championship. Wood plays Francisco Segura of Ecuador today and Schroeder meets Ladislav Hecht, former Czechoslovakian champion now registered from New York, Wood, former Wimbledon titlist, beat Billy Talbert of Cincinnati, 6-2, 8-6, for his fourth consecutive straight-set victory yesterday. The title went to Wood when Segura was forced to three sets by Seymour Greenberg of Chicago, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Segura has won three of his four matches but even a straight-set victory today would leave him behind Wood. Hecht, upset by Charles Mattmann of Forest Hills, 6-4, 6-3, maintained a slim mathematical chance of nosing out Schroeder. Schroeder beat Alejo Russell of Argentina, 6-2, 6-0, and leads Hecht in net sets, 7-3 and in net games, 33-15.

entire game. He was invariably brilliant for six innings but hurled only three complete contests, one a shutout. Mungo still gets mad too easily, which won't do him any good-if the Brooklyn jockeys go to work on him, Aug. 3, when he 1s expected to pitch against them in an army emergency relief game. He has his fast ball and a great curve, is definitely not getting by on cute stuff. A renowned bad actor and playboy, he went on a tear in Havana in 1941 that was even too much for the lenient Brooklyns. In 1937, he launched a furniture breaking project in St. Louis which netted him a lovely shiner and a fine of $1000. He never took advantage of his full talents, laughed at training rules.
No Hard Stuff
He claims he has not touched the hard stuff in almost a year. The first thing he did when he arrived in Minneapolis was to bring up his family from his Pageland, S. C,, home. Mungo, 31, came up with Brooklyn in 1931. A 6-foot 2-inch, 210-pound-er, he soon became the only true professional on the then-hapless Dodgers. He practically pitched his arm off for them, but never could reach
"| his goal of 20 victories in a season.
In 1932, he won 13 and lost 11; in '33, it was 16 and 15; in ‘34, 18 and 16; in ’35, 16 and 10; and in ’36, 18 and 19. He led the league in innings
pitched in 1934, in shutouts in ’35 and in strikeouts in ’36.
