Look for Stirnweiss
To Play for Indians
‘GEORGE STIRNWEISS, the veteran major league infielder, said today he has no objections to playing for the Indianapolis Indians but is merely trying to stay on in the big show where he has put in nine full seasons. “You can’t blame a ball player for wanting to delay his demotion to the minors,” said George, “but if it can’t be arranged for me to continue my major league career I intend to live up to my contract and join the local Tribesters. I've already signed an Indianapolis contract with General Manager Chuck French, which is evidence, of course, that I am not, a holdout” . , , But Stirnweiss, whose contract was sold outright to Indianapolis by the parent Cleveland Indians last week, still is awaiting development from con-
Stirnweiss
tacts he made with a couple of big league clubs who ap-
pear to be interested in dealing for his services . . . This despite the fact all major clubs waived on him before Cleveland dealt him off to the Hoosier Redskins . . . French granted Stirnweiss permission to barter with any major team with the stipulation that any deal would have to be acceptable to Tribe Manager Gene Desautels . . . French pointed out that Indianapolis has $10,000 invested in the veteran but would entertain any reasonable offer, preferably the equivalent in players. Stirnweiss arrived in Indianapolis late yesterday, huddled briefly with French, and a second conference between the pair was on the agenda today. . .. The wellseasoned infieldet, who is 32, said he had no intention of retiring from the game. “Baseball is my trade and I still get a thrill out of playing,” said George. “Fact is, I'm ambitious to become a big-league manager some day, so I don't intend to do anything as a player that would jeopardize my future.” . . . The outlook a. appears to be better than even that 3 Chuck French Stirnweiss will don Indianapolis livery in the near future... . Big-league players have learned ¥ down through the years it's no easy matter to arrange one’s own deal. . . . George could be an exception, but the odds are against it. The former American League batting champion (1945), when he was with the New York Yankees, wasn't long catching the Indianapolis atmosphere. .". . He planned a trip to the Motor Speedway today to get acquainted around Gasoline Alley and observe what makes the 500-Mile chariots tick.
After three successful seasons spent at the helm of the Indianapolis Indians and one year as Cleveland pilot, the big league grapevine says Al Lopez continues to show improvement as a baseball master mind . . . Even the opposition is admiring his strategy and ability to get the utmost out of players . . . The Senor will bring his American League pacesetters to Indianapolis’ Victory Field next Monday to show them off before his old Hoosier admirers in an exhibition attraction with Gene Desautels’ Little Indians . . . Lopez has promised to start his regular lineup to give Indianapolis fans a chance to size up the team that is living up to its pre-season rating as the American League's best pennant bet. = ” ” td » ALTHOUGH THE Philadelphia Athletics are running sixth, their little blond pitcher, Bobby Shantz, became the first American League pitcher to win six games this year.’. . . The five-seven southpaw has twice turned back league-leading Cleveland. . . . What price would he bring on the market? ... It's hard to fathom but it’s a cinch the big-monied clubs would go all-out: to land him. . .. Last year the dandy lefthander won 18 games and lost 10 with the Athletics, who finished sixth, 28 games off the pace. He won his last six in 1951. . . . He spearheaded the team’s surge in which it won 29 of its last 41 games, . , . Fans-will recall the Athletics of 1951 lost 13 of their first 16 games and struggled for three and one-half months to escape the basement. . . . Shantz, who is 26, is a native of the Keystone state. . . . He was born in Pottstown. « Because Bobby is not big enough to overpower hitters with a fast ball, he mixes ‘em up, using two speeds for what he calls his fast ball, a curve and occasionally a knuckler . . . Good control is another Shantz asset and he’s always working on it . . . sort of tantalizes the hitters . . . Blond Bobby weighs but 153 pounds and since -he can’t overpower ‘em he keeps ‘em off balance to hamper their timing . . . Shantz is no automatic out at the plate, like many pitchers . . . He's a lefthander who bats righthanded . . . The little fellow batted 250 last season and batted in nine runs.

star in the production was Rookie Pitcher Bill Henry, who got credit for his fifth victory against but one defeat, although two old timers, Ellis Kinder and Mel Par-
nell, had to help him out with re-
lief pitching stints. Boston clinched things in.the seventh when Don Lenhardt doubled and went to third as Vernon Stephens singled. Clyde (The Clutch) Vollmer drove in Lenhardt with a fly. Billy Goodman, back in at second base, singled and a fly by Walt Dropo scored Stephens with the winning run. Boudreau's “new” infield consisted of Johnny Pesky at third, Stephens at short and Goodman at second with rookies Jimmy Piersall at short and Ted Lepcio at second riding the bench. What made this somewhat remarkable is that Boudreau's original plan had been to use the old timers at home where their power hitting in the dinky little Fenway Park has produced such murderous run production in other years. BUT WHEY the season began and the youngsters, Piersall, Lepcio, Catcher Sammy White, and Otufielder Faye Throneberry, performed so brilliantly, he had no choice but to leave them in the
Then they went into a prolonged slump which began when they lost three in a row to the Yankees here. Boudreau, who had counted on the kids’ speed, decided he would have to let them rest a while and put the oldsters in instead. Del Wilber, obtained from the Phils last week in a waiver deal, took over for White behind the bat, leaving only Throneberry among the rookies still in the lineup.

In Happy Land Of Columbus
a Times Special COLUMBUS, O., May 20— This is the city in which the Indianapolis Indians got off
to a beautiful start and made themselves look like sure-fire first-division contenders. They became the first undisputed occupants of first place in the American Association's new race by taking the Red Birds three straight. But that was 'way back there in mid-April. Remember! Now the Tribesters are seventh, seven games off the pennant pace, and the Red Birds, once last, are hold-
off the pace and two ahead of Indianapolis.
4 = 8 SO THEY meet again, Indians vs. Red Birds at Red Bird Stadinm tonight in the opener of a two-game series. Frank Papish, who has yet to win a game and has lost four, is slated to toe the rubber for Indianapolis. The Tribe's mound staff was “chewed up” in Minneapolis and still is gasping for breath.
of six on their first road trip, plus
to protect his margin in the! seventh. In the .only other game played and completed yesterday, Giant ace Sal Maglie blanked the Pirates, 4 to 0, for his seventh straight victory this year without a loss and his 10th straight in a twoseason skein._ Bobby Thomson drove in all of the runs with a double and two
runs batted in for the year. It was the 13th straight time Maglie had defeated the Bucs and the shutout reduced his earned run average to a remarkable 1.01. Pittsburg’s seven hits were all singles and in only one inning were two of Jem put together.
« THE VICTORY rat the Giants back into a first-place tie with the Dodgers, who struggled with the Cubs and the rain for six innings before their game was called off with the score 1-all. Billy Loes of the Brooks and Turk Lown of the Cubs hooked up in a futile duel. Lown gave up only one hit, a scratch single in the fifth to Duke Snider. But he, walked seven men, four of them in the third when the Dodgers scored their run without a hit. The Cubs made six hits off Loes, but he mowed them down with strikeouts. The Cubs got their run in the fourth on a walk to Toby Atwell and a double by Hal Jeffcoat. The Cardinals and Phillies were rained out at Philadelphia in the other game scheduled.
Millers Win Lone
[their first game at home, against Toledo, the Red Birds invaded Indianapolis and swept a two-game series, both by 3 lo scores.
THE INDIANS never have recovered from that unexpected] double jolt by a team which they had defeated three times the previous week. Instead of recapturing a winning stride or even holding their own, the Tribesters worsened while the young Red Birds improved with experience and quickly climbed out of the league's coal hole. Thus far on this long road trip, the Indians have won bit one game in nine starts. They have four to go, two here in Colum-

What is the slowest speed cars can go in final qualifications Saturday and Sunday to get into the 33-car field?

Sloshing through the rain we canvassed the garage area yes{erday—as cars were kept indoors and the speed fraternity eyed the wet skies—to find expert opinions on the big question. y n »n “IT'S ONLY a guessing game now,” says Louie Meyer, threetime winner of the “500” and three-time national champion. “It could be as slow as 120 miles per hour to get in the race, depending upon the weather,” Louie, who always is cau. tious about predictions, approved the general opinion of others that it might require 133 miles per hour, maybe 132, or 13L
