KLEIN THREAT
IN HOMER RACE
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, June 18.-With
the Giants seemingly bent on
turning the National League race
into a procession, interest for the
moment has turned to the hot
test home run derby the old
league has known in many years.
The home run race is wide open
with half a dozen shooting for
the crown. Mel OFT and Johnny
Moore with a dozen round trips
apiece head the pack, but right
on their heels come Dolph Ca
mill, Wally Berger and Joe
Moore with II each and Chuck
Klein is bidding for his old place
at the peak with nine.
Chuck today took violent ex-
ception to the widespread belief
that he can hit only in the Philly
bandbox. He blames a pair of
balky charley horses for all his
batting woes since becoming a
Cub, but with the arrival of hot
weather, he expects to give them
all a battle.
He inaugurated his new drive
with a pair of homers off George
Earnshaw yesterday which &C
counted for four runs and gave
the Cubs and Larry French a
5.to-4 victory over the Dodgers.
Casey Stengel shook UP his
fast slipping Dodgers from prov
to stern but Chuck's lombard
ment sunk the Dodger ship single
handed.
The Giants moved farther away
from the Cards by handing
frankie Frisch'S champs their
third straight defeat to the tune
of IA to 3. The rampaging
Giants fell on Paul Dean and
Harrell for 10 hits, including
homers by Koenig and Schu-
macher who merely had to loaf
to win.
Despite Johnny Moore's twelfth
homer and another by George
Watkins the Phillies absorbed a
12-to-5 beating at the hands Of
Bill Swift and the Pirates, who
fell on three hapless Philly
throwers for % hits, which in
cluded seven doubles.
And up in Boston, the Braves,
moved perhaps by patriotic mo-
tives on Patriots Day, handed the
Reds a double beating, 8 to 3
and 5 to /. TWO homers by
Berger put the opener in the bag
for Dutch Brandt and a four
drive at the start made life easy
for Danny Macfayden.
Wet grounds precluded hostili'
ties everywhere in the American
League, except Cleveland, where
the Indians trounced the Red
Sox, II to 2.

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

ST. LOUIS, June 18.-Ala-
bama Pitts was restored to the
ranks of citizens by Commits
sioner Kenesaw Mountain Lands.
He will play ball with the Albany
baseball club of the International
League in championship compe-
tition. Judge Lands wisely ruled
that Pitts was not to be paraded
across a path of gold, silhouetted
in the calcium Of publicity against
his notorious past.
Pitts is not to be featured in
specially scheduled exhibition
games where he would be ex.
posed to the raSping attentions
of morbid and moronic gaperS.
The sole appeal that Pitts could
carry to the lower grades Of
human intelligence would be his
criminal record. If our penal
system is right, Pitts wants to
forget that criminal past. He
wants his record forgotten until
he has won his niche in baseball
and rehabilitated himself in the
ranks of society.
This Pitts boy is entitled to
the fame of the baseball hero
or to oblivion of failure. If he
can't make the grade on ability
he can drop out and get a fresh
start in the ranks Of industry.
But to parade him brazenly
before the public in exhibitions
would be to glorify in minds of
some the criminal "who got
away with it." We've had enough
of that already.
Henry Coppola made his start
in Baltimore where he outpitched
Dizzy Dean. But Henry lacks the
grit Of the old Orioles, it would
seem. He has a sore arm now
and Mike Martin goes about wag-
ging his head and telling tales Of
the brave days Of old.
Bucky Harris has just about
decided to put Bob Burke on a
make good or else" basis. In
the last month Burke'S longest
tour Of duty has been 1928 in
nings against the Yankees.
1t is sad but true that the
Griffs haven't a single pitcher
who can win a close ball game.
The records Of this trip prove
that. Give them all the runs
that a team might normally need
in a week and they're all right.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-06-18


is bad news on this club.
It is shame that Harris has
not a ball club with the color,
the ability and the intestinal forti-
tude that his ability as a manager
warrants. Here is a man who is
trying to make a couple Of deuces
do the work of four aces.
There Is nothing wrong, we
hasten to add with some of the
boys on this team. There isn't a
better man in any league than
Buddy Myer, and few better than
the quietly efficient Ossie Bluege,
who is a delight to the eye in the
field.
We leave for Cleveland tonight
and plunge into a doubleheader
tomorrow. Russell and Whitehill
will pitch for the GriffS with
Petit and Linke in line for the
two single games.
