ROBERT |. HEDGES
D|ESAT AGE OF 63
Former Owner of Browns
Prime Factor in Advance
ment of Base Ball.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
ut. LOUIS, April 23.-Robert Lee
Hedges, SO, former owner of the
st. Louis Browns, who made
many innovations in m a or
league baseball operation, died today
from a malignant growth of the lung.
Hedges set precedents for other clubs
and was recognized as a leader. He
was the first magnate to Danish the
liquor bar from the grandstand, the
first to install an electric scoreboard
and insist on scoreboard accuracy, and
was the Inauguration of ladies' day, for
free admission of women fans
To attract women spectators he
frowned on obstreperous conduct among
men customers.
In an interview in 1919, Hedges de-
clared base ball never would be profit
able until conducted along strictly busi-
ness lines. He said players salaries
were then about 40 per cent too high.
He bought the Browns franchise in
1901 for $35,000 and sold his interest
in the club i'll 1915 to Phil De c. Ball,
the present owner. for $425,000.
He is survived by his widow, formerly
Miss Pauline Davis of Cincinnati, and
a son, Robert Lee, jr. The funeral will
be held at the sons residence here at
4 pm Monday, with burial in Spring
Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Tuesday.

' Y 23.-Ellsworth Vines. ir.,
slim youngSter who
bulkS large in the United States
Davis Cup plans, set at rest fears
that he might not regain his ma
tional championship form by
trouncing Wilmer Allison in
straight sets, ga, 6-1, "a, today
IN the singles final of the Mason
and Dixon tennis championship.
Vines gained ample revenge for de7
featS by Allison within the last two
weeks In the finals at Pinehurst and
New Orleans. He played fast, aggres-
sive tennis, and after the first set had
the Texan under complete control
Bothered by Allison's previous vic
tories, Vines declared today that, win
or lose, he would keep his total of
errors, deciding factors in the last two
weeks play, down to the lowest possible
minimum
Allison Has Letdown.
As a result the 1881 national king
played keener, more alert tennis under
far better control than anything he
has exhibited previously this Spring
His deep forcing shots carried tremen-
douS speed and he baffled Allison with
his aggressive finishing volleys from
the forecourt
Allison faded after contesting the
first set stubbornly and his shots
lacked the extra punch that marked
his steady play for the last six weeks
on the Southern tournament circuit. He
appeared to suffer leJdown, although
Vines aggressive attack never gave him
a chance to organize.
Vines best scoring shots today were
low, fast forehand drives across the
deep court to the sidelines, along with
fast, sharply angled volleys from the
net. His backhand returns down the
Sidelines also were hard and accurate

Pitchers Facing Task.

A LTHOUGH they open these
u conflicts with a balance
4 on the right side of the
percentage ledger their i'm
portance to the Griffmen is
heightened by the fact that
every day they are engaging
one of their chief rivals the
other will be feasting on the
Red Sox, who are entirely re-
sponsible for the fact the home
guard is comfortably enSconced
in second place.
Except for the two victories
over the AS when a total of
80 hits was produced, the sue
cess of the Griffmen to date
has been due to tight pitching,
but Burke never has Jared well
against the AS or YankS, Rag
land is rated strictly a relief
pitcher and Marberry, for the
present at least, seems effective
only as a finisher.
With Brown still an uncer-
tain quantity because of his
questionable arm, which has
been ailing practically all
Spring, the list Of dependables
seems reduced to Crowder,
Weaver and Fischer, and what
job they face in trying to
silence the heavy guns of the
New York and Philadelphia
arraysl
TT is a well established fact
that the margin of supe-
= riority over the Nationals of
the 1-2 clubs last season was
their ability to hit the ball out
of the lot and it must be re-
garded as significant that all
the top positions in circuit
clouting now are occupied by
New York and Philadelphia
performers.
As usual the Yankee pair of
Ruth and Gehrig have been
prominent in the headlines
through their home-run hit
ting proclivities and to them
has been added Sam Byrd, while
FoXx and Cochrane have been
upholding the prestige of the
Mackmen in this respect closely
followed by the even more dan
egrous Simmons.
For the Griffmen to fortify
themselves against the inva-
sion of the Western clubs early
next month they must bag a
majority of the engagements
now at hand with their most
formidable rivals and to do this
a marked reversal of form in
batting will be necessary. Their
present team average of less
than .270 is inadequate by some
80 points.

Summary
Evening star., 1932-04-24
A EET Mr.. John MichaelS, the
IN Red Sox' very new hurler

1 You must meet Mr.
MichaelS, gentlemen, for
besides being nice young man
with an alley ball, young John IS
a dear relative of your Nationals.
In fact, fellows, Mr.. Nichols is
cousin of the Griffs.
Until young John biInked his inno-
cent way up to the hill yesterday aft
ernoon at the Griffith onion orchard to
relieve Bob Weiland, another wrong
side bean shooter, who, by the way, was
doing well, the Griffis' Great Punch was
full of holes.
1t was not exactly idle, understand,
dear folks, but it was not belligerent
either. 1t was no four alarm fire at any
time. Not even when Moe Kelly Berg
was shocked, surprised and stunned be-
yond words when he quit double playing
himself and his mates into difficulty to
pole one right smack into a customers
lap in the bleachers. Maybe there
wasn't customer there, but it would
have been in his lap if he had been out
in the bleaGhers
Up until Shauno Collins, the old Sox
tender, decided to take Mr.. Weiland and
his injured leg out of action-smacked
down by Mr.. Fischer, who, by the act,
ought to get credit for the whole ball
game-your Nationals were doing no
better than teasing two runs out of all
their combined efforts. The boys were
hitting, but not when they should have
been.
Then, without any warning, without
any warming up, up pops Mr.. Michaels
to make his debut before a Wash
ington audience. Mr. John bowed and
Cronin tripled of his smile. He
frowned, and Carl Reynolds, the not
so-brlttle right-hand punch, Smacked
another long one off his frown. He
gritted his teeth, and Joe Judge smacked
triple OF his eye tooth.
That was enough for Mr.. Michaels
He refused to make faces or gestulate
and when he could not do that Shauno
wn1Stled for him to come home before
he got caught in the threatening show
er OF hits. All Cousin John got for
his moments on the mound in the
eighth was a pain in the neck from
trying to watch where the three -baggers
| landed.
1t was not heroic pose, even for
a Red Sox hurler. There was John and
there was those base balls going places.
And In the meanwhile all of those
ailing batsmen on Your Uncle Clark S
pay roll were smacking their lips at
the sound of the base hits.
1t was very nice afternoon for
the Griffs. 1t gave them six games
out OF seven from the Sox. fattened
their smacking averages and tuned
them up for the meeting this after
noon with Connie Mack's hird-place
Elephants. That is, third place at the
end OF the season, for if the Yanks
have not taken the heart out of the
money team of base ball, then the
Athletics have two hearts.
With the Mats clicking as they did
yesterday, the Yanks roaring their way
along as they have been against the
Athletics, there seems to be nothing
to 1t this year, but a nice little spot
IN second place for Your Mats. That's
figuring that Mr.. Griff's nitters do not
succumb to an attack Of moths, boil
weevils or become bewildered by an
epidemic of fruit flies.
Up until the war started it appeared
that Uncle Clark's pitching was going
to be carried along on the end of the
hard hiters' bats. But at the moment
OF going to press the pitchers are walk
