SEWELL HURT 7;
KLUMPP GETS
CHANCE

NEW ORLEANS. March %.
Now that Luke Sewell, veteran
catcher, will be on the sidelines
for an extended period because
of his injured finger, Elmer
Klumpp's chances of impressing
as an honest-to-goodness backstop
once again became pronounced
today.
This time the young receiver
has everything to gain, as it is
Manager Cronin's plan to work
him behind the bat as much as
possible, even though Moe Berg
is scheduled to Jump in now
and then to help Elmer with the
burden.

jury, Manager Cron n had planned
to use Klumpp only in the lat
ter part of the exhibition games
because of the idea to give Sewell
as much action as was thought
needed to get the veteran on
edge for the regular campaign.
Injury Not Serious
But now Cronin's plans are
all changed again. All of which
means that Klumpp is due for
plenty Of work and whatever he
shows will be noted every moment
by both Manager Cronin and
President Clark Griffith, who
really think a great deal of the
lad and who also believe he pos
SeSSes great chance of becorl-
ing regular catcher in the big
time some day very soon.
SeWelpS injury, incidentally, is
not as serious as was first re.
ported yesterday. 1t seems that
the first X-rays taken at the
Hotel Dieu Hospital here showed
the original break Luke suffered
with the same finger several
years ago, but clearer and more
complete examination later re.
vealed that only a severe bruise
had been suffered, which made
Sewell and Chieftains Cronin and
Griffith sigh with relief that
more serious injury had not
been sustained.
Berg, Too, Gets Break
Even so, the veteran will be
inactive for at least the next 10
days-which fact offers the
thought that Manager Cronin
won't put him back into the re-
gular lineup until after the re-
gular season starts. If this lat.
ter point proves to be the case,
Moe Berg will be the Griffs'
catcher on opening day when the
Boston Red Sox are played at
Griffith Stadium.
The Griffs met defeat at the
hands of the Cleveland Indians
yesterday. Excellent pitching by

handler, and Willis Hudlin, veteran
Highlander, enabled Walter John
sons men to gather in the
triumph. The score was 5-to-3.

art and Monte Weaver hurled for
the Griffs, and it was against
Crowder's shoots that the Indians
scored the margin of victory.
The North Carolinan was several
notches off form as he gave UP
seven hits for four runs in the
first three innings.
Stewart was the Griff star.
His pitching was flawless during
the fourth, fifth and sixth in
nings. He retired Walter John
sons warriors in order in the
fourth and sixth, and granted a
"fluky" hit to Vosmik in the fifth,
after walking Pytlak.
Weaver hurled better than
average ball during the last two
frames. He was reached for an
unnecessary run in the seventh
when Vosmik drove Holland
across from third after that
player had singled, Spencer had
walked, and Klumpp had bobbed
up with a passed ball. In the
eighth, Monte retired the Tribe IN
one-two-three order.

Cell-Cale sign.
Mickey Cochrane is doing his
utmost to swing Chief Hogsett
around to a more diversified de-
livery on the mound. The Indian
is working hard to mix his style
of peggings to keep batters from
splattering his left-handed offer
ings all over the lot.
Hogsett uses an underhand mo-
tion exclusively. Possessing a
varied line of pitching merchan-
disc, Hogsett's even motion has
been hard to hit safely for six
innings, but after that number
of rounds enemy hitterS had
accustomed themselves to his
style, with the result that the
Chief was on the run many times
when he should have been halt
ing the enemy.
Tries Overland
This year Hogsett is trying an
overland pitch to vary the mo-
notonous underhand motion and
he has been quite successful IN
mixing the two styles Of deliv-
cry. At the moment, Hogsett has
not acquired the control Of his
overland, but he expects that to
come with practice.
Down in Florida ball-yards, the
sideliners had observed that Vic
Frazier, the silent man Of the
Tigers, had been throwing his
stuff overland and that q shift
in delivery is due to orders Of
the manager of the team. In
1881, when Frazier looked most
like a coming topnotcher, he was
throwing overarm, but in the last
two years under official orders
he used a sidear1n style and that
delivery made his pitching wing
sore. He makes no complaint
this year Of any pains in his arm.
Whitlow Wyatt, a fast ball
pitcher, is a one-cylinder pitcher:
His motion is an easy, graceful
throw, but as the game goes on
the batter gets accustomed to the
rhythm Of his pegs. On the
mound Wyatt goes right down to
the business of pitching and that
gives the batter a slight edge.
Delivered Too Fast
When Grove came up from Bal
timore his chief fault lay in the
fact that he delivered too fast,
which brought about the order to
the speed king to count ten before
every pitch. While Grove was the
goat for kidding, the stunt helped
his pitching.
It has been suggested to Wyatt
that he do a little delaying in the
pitching box to annoy the batters.
Such old timers as Grover Cleve.

This means that If the Presidents

doubtedly will be, the question of COM

determination next year.
IN RESPONSE to resolution adopt
ted last spring, the federal trade
commission submitted to the senate a
compilation of the salaries paid to the
officers of SIT corporations from 1928
to 1898, together with the total assets
of the companies and their net income
or loss during those years. The re-
port filed more than a dozen thick
volumes.
Among the corporations failing to
report the salaries were General Mo-
tors, Studebaker, American Can and
General Aviation. These challenged
the right of the commission and SEN
ate to demand the data.

or a veto by the PreSi-
dent did not deter 145
representatives from
signing a petition to
take the Patman bill
from the committee
and bring it up for a
vote on March II.
Speaker Rainey had
been to the White
House and returned
with this message:
Il am authorized by
A. n-s
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-03-09


that this is not the time to pay the
bonus and that he cannot approve any
legislation to that effect"
But the members went right on
signing Mr.. Rainey was visibly dis
turbed, but said, in reply to inquiries,
"We're going to let the house do just
as it pleases."
Most of the signers of the petition
were green members of the house, and
many of them were sorry when they
realized what they had done. Now the
Democrats will have to go on record.
If they vote against the bill. they will
offend the veterans; If they vote for it,
they will incur the displeasure of the
President.
Wright Patman Of Texas, Democrat,
author of the bill, told the house the
beasure would provide the administra-
tion with the mechanism for carrying
out the inflationary program it al
ready has embraced, and that it would
save the government billions of dol
lars in interest. 1t seemed most likely
that the bill would be passed by the
house, and it may also get through the
senate. for the sentiment for it has
been steadily growing in that body.
AS a forecast of what it might do
with the bonus bill, the senate, disre-
garding the Presidents wishes, passed
by vote of 81 to 80 the amendment
TO restore to Spanish-American war
veterans 80 per cent of their former
pensions. Eighteen Democrats voted
aye. AT the same time the President
renewed his threat of veto in let
ter to Speaker Rainey.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT in a spe-
cial message asked congress to Gre
ate new federal commission to regu-
late the wire, cable and radio COM
munications systems. He proposed
that the new commission take over the
duties of the federal radio commission
and the functions of the Interstate
Commerce commission which deal with
telegraph and telephone regulation.
Mr. Roosevelt said the new body
should be given full power to inyes-
