Schultz Shines In His Debut With Brooklyn
By JACK CUDDY : United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Howie Schultz, the $40,000 “St. Paul Steeple,” certainly rang the bell in his unveiling at Ebbets field. Young Schultz, who towers 6 feet 6% inches, made a quick stretch from the American association to the National league in such impressive fashion that Lippy Leo Durocher was left speechless (at last!) —without words to describe properly the promise of his new Dodger first baseman. High Howie, who never saw a major league game before, arrived from the St. Paul club yesterday. Immediately he was given the doublebarreled test of fielding against the sharp-hitting, fast-running Cardinals and of batting against the champions’ ace right-hander, Mort Cooper.
