His voice rings across the field with a melody that belongs to the big leagues. That's where Mike's from. He could still be there if he wanted to, but he'd rather be along third base line at Victory field in preference to Brookiyn, Boston or anywhere else aroun the big horn. : When the game starts, his team afield, Mike takes his place— standing on the dugout's edge, one foot on the ground, the other two steps below. He rocks, He shouts. . “Plenty o’ the ole life out there boys! Get ’em out. Let's come to bat!” It's a long inning. The Sain come romping home, { Then the Indians are at bat. “Nobody hurt,” Mike salves the boys,
He dashes with the zip of a boy to his coaching post. “Pick out a good ball, Kerby.” One goes by. Ball one. ” ” ” “THAT'S THE baby.” That's his favorite expression, He twitches his cap. He spits. He claps his hands. He's ever encouraging. ever fighting, , He's a man to watch’ Pretty soon it's all over. The Indians, despite all the hustle’ that Mike has put into them, have lost another, The chatter-filled dugout is silent, save for a remark here and there about the umps, about how lucky the Saints’ pitcher was. “We can beat him. We can beat ‘em all. We will” That's Big John Hutchings talking. The decision against him, Mike goes to the showers, Shortly he apepars in the front office. He's among bosom friends. “I couldn't see how we could lose,” he says. “I wanted to win that one, my first game as manager at home, for you and al] the folks. “We'll get 'em. Mark my word.” And he clenches his fist.

Yankees Miss | Murphy as Relief Hurler
NEW YORK, May 19 (U.P.).— The evidence -isn't all -in as yet, but there was growing support today for the argument that the Yankees may miss their lion-hearted relief pitcher, Fordham Johnny
er they have sent to the wars before the current baseball season is over. Murphy, who elected to help in the home front battle in a New York war plant, long was regarded as the premier relief pitcher of the big leagues, and was regarded by Manager Joe McCarthy as irre. placeable, . . “Yesterday's 8 to 4, 10-inning defeat at the hands of the White Sox, illustrated that the Yankees have no top flight relief flinger who can 80 in and stop the enemy cold in the manner of Fordham Johnny. New York had the game on ice, 4 to 3, going into the ninth when Starter Ernie Bonham served up his second home run ball of the game which Wally Moses “bleachered” to tie the score. Hal Trosky previously had homered for the visiting Sox in the eighth. Came the 10th and that was where Murphy was missed. Relief Pitcher Emerson Roser filled the bases and Outflelder Thurman Tucker emptied them for him with a triple, the Sox scoring four times before the smoke cleared.

Murphy, more than any other play-1 points—would win the 1944 crown,
as it did the 1043 diadem. Each of the five favorites had qualified men in sufficient number and quality to score the requisite 30 points. Pay-Off In Relays The pay-off was expected to come in the relay races, where a winner counts 10 points, North Side, Hammond and Lincoln each have a mile quarter entered, and Central and Roosevelt have half-mile teams. The draw was expected to play a8 major role in naming the new champion. There are 15-mile relay
teams entered, and two races will be run,
Other races, too, brought favorites against each other—assuming the draw, which will not be published until tournament day, has been good to the spectators—and the 440, which might match Max Ramsey of Pt. Wayne Central, Cal Martin of Lincoln and Dick Moody of Roosevelt, was an important event. In the half-mile, Ash Hawk of North Side was favored, but Martin was entered here too. Given a good track, Hawk stood a ‘chance of breaking the state record in this event. He surpassed Mel Trutt's 1:579 two years ago, but was-dis-qualified, Another record which may fall
