NEW YORK, May 5.-"The only
trouble they're going to have with
me from now on is getting me out
when I come to bat" said Art Shires.

save out of baseball in ten years.
Since the two don't mix, decided
to play baseball and behave myself,
because I love to play the game.
I'd be crazy to get into trouble again,
as lost $500, or almost half my
salary, in fines last year. That's
not going to happen again"
Shires denied that he had a feud
on with Johnny Hodapp, 190-pound
second baseman of the Cleveland
Indians, growing out of two
collisions with him. Shires had a
blood vessel ruptured in his back
when he collided with Hodapp at
Cleveland April %, and only re-
turned to the game Sunday, making
his appearance as a pinch-hitter
against the Yankees.
"Hodapp and I are good friends, .

we had two collisions, and the

was breaking up a double play at
Cleveland.
The change in Shires this season
may be partially explained by his
attitude toward his new manager,
DOME Bush.
Bush is a hustler and fighter"
said Shires, "and knows his bust
ness. That's the kind of a guy I
like to play baseball for. I'm a
hustler and I'd rather play ball in
a class D league than sit on the
bench in the majors
Shires said he had no malice
toward Lena Blackburn, former
White SoX manager, with whom he
had three fights last season.
LENA wasn't a manager and I
just couldn't play under him. He's
a fine fellow and a good coach but
just not cut out for a manager All
my troubles started last season when
he took the captaincy away from me
and benched me after a run-in at
Dallas before the season opened"
Always the booster, Shires thinks
the White SoX are first division
team this season and will volunteer
information about the improvement
of every player on the club.
''They laughed at us last season, y
said Shires, "but we can show 'em
hit for hit this season and we are
going to do some laughing ourselves.
We have better team all the way
round than last season and we're
going to cause plenty of trouble be-
fore September rolls around"

Interest in the National League

moved back into undisputed possess

The Chicago Cubs defeated the

With the score tied IL in the
