Love of Baseball Takes Lad To
Giants

New YOrk-When the Giants
make their final pruning of the
season, twenty-five year old
youngster who played with the
American Legion Juniors, will in
the opinion of his teammates and
other close observers of the game,
be retained as a member of the
New York clubs regular pitching
staff. His love for the game has
brought him this far-more than
ambition to make big money or be
in the limelight.
That youngster is Ray Lucas,
whose baseball career began on
the sandlots of Springfield, Ohio,
and who won the interest of the
scouts of the big leagues shortly
after he pitched in the American
Legion's Junior World Series in
that city in 1926.
Lucas is a highlander. He
has not seen much action so far
this year, but according to the ex-
perts, the work he has done in the
box shows that he holds plenty of
the Giants, and his story. a he
tells it himself, indicates that the
former Juniorite is a keen and
sincere lad, anxious to get ahead
because of great devotion to the
game, which is not g particularly
common trait among professional
ball players.
Briefly, Lucas career includes
all the ups and downs usual to the
newcomer tyring to break in. He
first attracted notice while with
the Springfield high school nine.
where he played every position ex-
cept catcher. He was used mainly
on the mound, of course, but, as he
puts it, "They put me wherever
they needed to fill a hole"
Lucas interested himself, after
that in The American Legion team
in his own town. Soon after the
Junior World Series he was signed
by Toledo in the American Associ-
alton, and in his first year of activ-
ity there did his best work. He
won twelve games and lost six, a
fine record for a rookie.
In the middle of the 1928 season
one of the Giants scouts who
watched Lucas pitch liked his
looks and told John McGraw, man.
ager Of the club, about him. Later,
McGraw, himself impressed,
bought the youngster and farmed
him out to the Salem, Mass, team
Of the New England league for
seasoning. With Salem, Lucas bore
the brunt of the teams activity,
pitching in thirty-two games. He
turned in exactly 800 average
winning sixteen and losing sixteen
When half the 1929 season was
over he was called back to the
Giants. But the McGrawmen were
still overstaffed and Lucas was
farmed out once again-this time
to San Antonio, in the Texas Lea
que. where he pitched four games
and won three of them. Early in
the 1880 season he was recalled
but didn't get into much action
that year.
So far his year he has started
one game. He hurled three in
nings against Philadelphia in the
seasons opener in April and held
the Phillies hitless until the third
inning, when Cy Klein poled out tn,
Quaker's lone lift, a home run
Lucas finished the inning, but was
then taken off the mound.
That has been the extent of hi!
