By Eddie Ash

FOR the past several weeks baseball fans throughout the nation have been trying to find out something about Chuck Hostetler, the Detroit outfielder, who is belting the sphere and playing a fancy game for Steve O'Neill's Bengals. Bob French, Toledo Blade sports editer, a close follower of Tiger doings, decided to,do some research and obtain the facts on Hostetler's background. . . . In his column, Mirrors of Sport, French said, in part: “perusal of baseball records of other years doesn’t help any. For Hostetler's professional baseball was played so long ago that few can find records old enough to include his name. “We had to chase elear down to Akron to find out about him. Akron is Chuck’s home town, and he was the guest of honor at a big dinner there the other night. “He started playing sandlot ball in Akron and vicinity more than 20 years ago. He was fast, a good hitter and an asset to any sandict team. Along about 1927 Akron got a franchise in the old Central league and Hostetler was one of the outfielders, his first chance at pro baseball. He was no kid at this time.

Shipped to Texas League by Browns

“WHEN the Akron club felt the financial strain several players were sold to the St. Louis Browns in an effort to raise some cash. . Hostetler was among them. He didn't show enough to land a job and was shipped to the Texas league.

= #® » » » 2 “HE PLAYED several years in that loop without attracting much attention. A dozen years or so ago he dropped out of professional baseball and lined up with the national semi-pro clubs which were

being boosted by the newly formed organization in Wichita, Kas. Tiger Scouts Manage to Find Him

“FOR several years he was with the semi-pros, and then quit that line of sport, also. From that time on little was heard of him so far as baseball was concerned. But somebody, hearing about Detroit's lack of outfielders this year, suggested Hostetler, and the scouts managed to find him. “Now he looks like one of the best outfielders in the American league. He must be 40 years old.

» » s 2 = s “Chuck should get a, lot of credit for coming back the way he has. But the guy who really deserves the laurels is that fellow who got the amazing idea that Hostetler still had any baseball left in his carcass, and got the Tigers interested. “Hostetler is a bright fellow, a first class entertainer, and a pretty good musician. In the cld days, when he was young and

ambitious, and radib was just breaking in, he did some broadcasting.”

The Indians’ last losing streak, which stretched to nine straight, just about cooked their goose, but they haven't given up hope. With several new players rounded up, and with the injured Kerby Farrell and Joe Burns just about ready to re{turn to action after two weeks on the shelf, there's always a chance that a long winning streak might be put together and skyrocket the team up the ladder, at least to fourth place.

Red Sox Win Streak Ended

NEW YORK, June 17 (U. P.).— The determined drive of Joe Cronin to hand Boston Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey an American league pennant, for which the Beantown mag-

nate has spent uncounted thou- 5

sands, hit a snag today. The Red Sox had been riding rough-shod over the rest of the circuit and up to last night had counted nine victories in a row. It remained for the Senators to clip Manager Cronin’s club, and Milo Candini twirled five-hit, shutout ball to record a 4-0 decision. Rookie Clem Hausmann was nicked for eight hits as he went to the showers with the loss. The Sox threatened to score only once, in the final stanza when they

out, but the potential uprising wilted with a double play.

Yankees Win at Home

The Yankees, home from a disastrous road trip found home pasture more to their liking as they jumped on the Athletics, 6-1. Hank Borowy hung up his eighth victory and backed up his five-hit pitching with a sixth-inning triple which highlighted a five run rally. The leading Browns, in a twilight game, kicked five Detroit pitchers around for 14 hits that netted a 14-1 socking. Bob Muncrief went the distance and recorded his fifth straight win, and his sixth of the season, The White Sox moved into sixth place as they defeated Cleveland, 3-1. Mel Harder was charged with | the loss, while Orval Grove was! the winner.

Shoun Wins Sixth

In the National league, the Dodgers defeated Philadelphia, 5 to 4, scoring four runs in the sixth, and another in the seventh— all at the expense of Charlie Schanz.

CLEVELAND, June 17 (U. P.).—!

Heath, who has been out of the lineup for about a week because of a re-injury of the knee, is 28 years old and has three children. He currently is batting .327, one of the top figures in the league. The veteran Harder, who passed the 200 victory mark in the ma- | jors this season, is tied for the league lead in pitching with Mike Ryba of Boston. Both have six victories and only one defeat. Harder is 34, married and has two r| daughters.

Cancel Races

HOLLYWOOD, June 17 (U. P). —Big Crosby's Del Mar Turf club and the Hollywood Turf club were without, racing dates again today following cancellations of summer horse race meetings by the boards of the two clubs yesterday. W. F. Tunney, Del Mar general manager, announced cancellation of his track’s July 1 meet and Earl Gilmore, Hollywood Turf club president, announced dropping plans for his club's Aug. 25-Nov, 2 sched-’ uled meeting. Gilmore said the Hollywood club had conducted a survey in connection with the citizens manpower) 5 committee, government war agencies and the army and navy, all strongly opposed to the openings, and had concluded the cancellation was necessary to aid local war production. Tunney described the Del Mar action as a “temporary postponement.” He said the deal was necessitated by the need to recondition the track premises.

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., June 17 {U. P.).—Byron Nelson of Toledo,’ O., was regarded as the man to beat in the Red Cross open today despite the fact he was deadlocked with Mike Turnesa of White Plains, N.
