slammed tWenty-seven home runs
and hit for an average Of $50. Scout
Joe O'Rourke Of the Phils went
down to TT. Wayne to look him over.
ORourke was impressed. He wired
the late Bill Baker to buy Klein at
once. Baker dickered with the Fit.
Wayne management and got Klein
for $4,000. On the last day of July,
1923, Chuck became a big Lacquer.
The stalwart Hoosier Hercules,
with the powerful arms and wrists,
soon started to blast National League
pitching in the same care-free way
he had slugged in the Central
League. At the end of the sea-
son he had compiled a batting av-
erage Of 800, and in his sixty-four
games that year hit eleven home
runs. When Klein reported at the
training camp in the south to start
the season Of 1929 he faced his first
real test-the second year.
LOW did he meet that test? BY
IL a two-hsted exhibition of base
ball blasting that sent records into
the discard which had stood for
years. First Of all he set new
league home run record with forty
three homers. cracking Hornsby's
mark that had been good for six
years. He hit six homers in four
consecutive games, duplicating the
feats Of Ken Williams and Babe
Ruth. He hit three homers in three
consecutive times at bat, rivaling
the performances of Cap Arson,
George Kelly, Babe Ruth, Elmer
Smith and Ed Delehanty.
In his first full season Klein
made more than two hundred hits,
taking rank with Willie Keeler,
Lloyd Waner and jim Williams, the
only players who hit safely more
than 200 times in their first years
in the majors. At the end CT the
season his batting average was 1856.
T Asst year he yielded the home
IL run crown to Hack Wilson.
He rolled up total Of 40 homers
against Hacks Sc, but he batted 80
points better than the Chicago
slugger, compiling an average of
1856, which made him the third
best batter in the league. His
record breaking continued with SO
doubles, breaking the National
League record Of Sc set by Ed Dele
hanty in 1899.
Klein scored 158 runs, surprising

expected to work against the Phil
lies today, with Vance taking a
fling at the Giants on Sunday. The
Robins looked strong in whipping
the Phillies, 6 to /, Thursday. They
hit in the pinches, got adequate
pitching, and felded faultlessly.
It was their third win of the year.
Freddie Fitzsimmons turned in a
beautiful piece of pitching as the
New York Giants defeated the Bos-
ton Braves, 2 to 1. Fit7simmons
allowed but two hits, while his
mates got an even ten off Zachary
and Cantwell. Fitzsimmons himself
drove in the winning run. The VIC
tory advanced the Giants to third
place in the National standings.
Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati,
8 to 3, in the only other National
game, the Chicago-St. Louis affair
being rained out. Mickey Heath,
Cincinnati first baSeman and one OF
the most promising rockies OF the
season, broke his arm in a COLLISION
with Tommy Thevenow, Pittsburgh
shortstop, and will be out OF action
for at least six weeks.
In the American League, the
crippled New York Yankees mus
tered enough strength to defeat the
Philadelphia Athletics, 7 to 2. Henry
johnson pitched fine ball for the
winners. Rube Walberg hurled for
the losers.
Waite Hoyt pitched steady game
as the Detroit Tigers trimmed the
Cleveland Indians, 9 to 4. Hudlin
Miller and Craighead worked on the
mound for the Indians, but were IN
able to stem the Detroit batters.
The Chicago White Sox bested the
st. Louis Browns in an eleventh

championships, decided Thursday
night in the finals of the National
Amateur Athletic Union tourna-

were won by plumber, farmer

Two other students reached the

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-When
Il Chuck Klein was released by
Evansville four years ago, he went
back TO the farm, a heart-broken
young man. In his first venture
into organized baseball, he had
failed. Yet four years later he was
to sign contract with the Phillies
for three years calling for nearly
$4,000 year.
Klein played semi -pro ball after
being given the gate at Evansville.
Instead of quitting, he determined
to demonstrate his worth. He con-
tinued to play baseball, because he
liked the game.
FINALLY in August the good
4 news came that Evansville
wanted him back. He went back to
Evansville with new enthusiasm. In
fourteen games he slugged well over
300, including three home runs,
played a great game in the outfeld
and then-broke his ankle sliding
into first base and went back to the
farm again.
Undaunted, he reported to
Evansville in the spring of 1928.
The Fans Association, however,
having sustained a financial sock on
the chin in the preceding season
sold the Evansville franchise to
Bob Coleman, and peddled the play
ers here and there for whatever
they would bring. When President
Beard of the association couldn't
get anything for a player, he gave
him away. Chuck Klein came very
close to being one Of the players
Beard gave away.
Ft. Wayne in the Central League
wanted Lee Walsh, first baseman
Beard offered to sell Walsh fol
$500 provided Ft. Wayne also would
buy Klein for 5000. Finally FIT
Wayne made the deal, in order to
get Walsh, and gave Klein a try
out in the outfleld.
Il II
A TRYOUT was all Klein wanted

ST. PAUL, May with Tom
Hickey's American Association still
in its first month Of play there are
signs that the only pennant race
will be between Louisville and Lefty
Leiheld's local Saints. Both flag
favorites have dropped but three
games, with Louisville leading, the
Colonies having played two more
contests than the Apostles.
st. Paul made it two in a row
over Johnny Corridens Indians
here Thursday, to 0. and at Min
neapolis the champion Colonies
welpped the Millers for the second
time in two days.
Played in Fast Time
Walter Belts kept seven Tribe
hits scattered Thursday and dis
posed OF the Hoosiers in rapid-style
order, the game being run of in
1:26. Chief Lee Daney hurled the
nrst six innings for the visitors and
had one bad round, the fourth.
when two triples, a single and
double produced three markers for
the Apostles. Before the explosion
in the fourth, Daney was solved for
only one safety.
Daney was removed for a pinch
hitter in the seventh and Frank
Mulroney finished, allowing three
hits and one run in two innings.
The Indians we're helpless facing
Belts when runners were on the
paths, the veteran having great
control all the way. issuing no

Jock saltzgaver was the chief
cannonader for the. winners, with
two triples, both figuring in the
scoring innings. PaSchal also wal
loped for three cushions and doubles
were registered by Fenner and Hop
kins.
Any kind of opportune hitting on
the part Of the Indians would have
made it an interesting struggle, but
it is seldom that Huck Belts loses
when he has one of his good days.
The Indians are here for two more
tits, today and Saturday, after
which they will move over to Min
neapolis and try their luck against
Nike Kelley's FASTENERS. The cham
pion Colonies will be here Sunday
