For Hall Of Fame
After Debut

CLEVELAND. Aug. "a. GN.SD.
A 17-year-old Iowa farm boy, who
a few months ago was tossing bags
of peanuts to customers at
League Park, was nominated to-
day for basebalpS hall of fame
after the most brilliant pitching
debut in major league history.
The ex-peanut salesman is Bob
Teller, who just missed setting
new Strikeout record when he
whitfield Is st. Louis Browns in
his first start for the Cleveland
Indians yesterday. His mark was
one less than the American League
record of 16 set by RUDE Waddell,
eccentric southpaw of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, in 1908, and two
under the modern major league
record of II hung up by Dizzy
Dean in 1888 against the Cubs.

having one more year ahead of
him. He developed his blazing fast
ball by throwing at a makeshift
backstop in the pasture of his
fathers farm near Abel, Iowa.
Picking up a sharp-breaking curve,
Teller developed with amazing
rapidity while pitching for the
Abel High School team.
Feller came direct to the major
leagues from the sandlots.
On Gilbert's recommendation,
the Indians purchased the boy be-
fore he had so much as tossed a
ball in a minor league game.

infielders who are better.
Lyman is a stick of dynamite

Travis Shines
Al Shortst0p
Position
By FRANK BUCK" ONEILL

An aroused Cecil Travis found
himself today the boast and toast
of the Griffs as the boys prepared
for action against the Cleveland
Indians tomorrow. There's a day
of rest for the laddie bucks today.
Perhaps it was just one of those
inspired bursts that carried Travis
to peaks that he never before
reached as a shortstop. Perhaps
it was that he just got plumb
weary of sitting on the bench and
watching the other boys play
shortstop, second base and what
have you. Maybe he Just wanted
to prove that his refleXes were as
swift as anyone elSe'S.
You see, Travis has been some
thing of a problem child. When
things went wrong he was moved
here and there and elsewhere. He
never was quite sure on Tuesday
that he would be at second base.
Nor was he certain that on Thurs
day he would be in left field. 1t
must have gotten on his nerves,
for the way the boy played in
Philadelphia, you couldn't keep
him off the field with a warrant.
Handles Sixteen Chances
Travis was all right on Satur-
day, barring one slow start on a
potential double play. But on
Sunday-maybe he likes to play
ball on Sunday-he was all over
that field. He handled 16 chances
in the double-header and made
most of them look all right. The
tough ones he took in stride.
1t was in the second battle that
the drawlin' Georgian said it all
with stops and throws. He had
one putout and II assists, which
is a fair days work for any ball
player, whether he is called Honus

The concenSuS of opinion is to

many are not afraid to put Jimmy
Foxx at that position-their rea-

particularly in hitting.
These problems are what make

is in a quandry himself over the
post and will be quite interested
in Babe Ruth'S selection when that

his team sometime after Septem-

Arthur w. Watwood, 6919 Thir-
teenth St. N. W.. puts Hale at
third base on his team. Two inter
esting other selections are: Roy

Hauptmann To Die
 Tuesday, March 31

than A purely New J0rsoy issue, bound up with the political future of Hoffman.
 President Roosevelt carried New Jersey la i0S2 by S2,000-the first democrat to carry tho state since Wilson-hut this had been disoount- cd by republicans as tho abnormal manifestation of Q depression year.
 Reports from all counties had convinced them that the state would swing back to the republican column in November. But those reports were made before Hoffman gave Hauptynann Q S0-day reprieve. Since then. the political pattern has shift- cd, not only because of public res sentiment by because of the poiiti. cRl feuds it started, the United Press was told.
 Charles Quinn, secretary of demo- cratic state committee. said his own surveys led him to believe the state would again 90 for Roosevelt.
 May Appeal To Cond0n
 If Hoffman decides finally to make c personal appeal to Dr. Con- don and Condon accepts the invita-. ton to return, the governor planned to turn over long list of questions to col. II. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the state police. 6chwar1kopf then would send the list to Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine of New York city who would be asked to give them to Con. don and transmit his answers back to Hoffman.
 Condon will be asked particularly why he once said he thought e gang kidnapped and murdered tho Lind. bergh baby, but testified at Elem. ington that he thought Hauptmann alone responsible. Some friends of the governor said he would be most reluctant to permit Hauptmann to die until he had Condon's answers, even if 1t meant another reprieve. Hoffman, however, has inferred rec peatedly that he did not plan to grant another reprieve.
 I,elbowitx To Continue
 Samuel Leibowitz. famous crimin- al lawyer who has become 6 inenl- ber of Hauptmann counsel on e ten. tative basis, may visit his client to- day or tomorrow to continue his effort to break down Hauptmann's Bennington story and get the truth"
 Mrs. Anna Fzauptmann was inc censed at Leibowitz' doubt that her husband had told the truth, and was ready to bar his entrance to the death house by renouncing him as counsel, but Hauptmann asked to see him lone more time," believing he could convince Leibowitz that he had been telling the truth right along.
 Condon Not Returning
 Panama City, Feb. 1e--(uP)-Dr. John '. Condon has made no plans to return to the United States. 1t was learned today.
 The Bronx teacher who was a central figure In the Lindbergh kid- naping prosecution was found vis- iting ct the residence of Capt. II. J. Majilton, canal zone pilot.
 Mrs. Myra Hacker. Condon's daughter. said to the United Press:
 we are enjoying ourselves inc mensely. We expect to be here for several weeks inOre."
 She only smiled when she was told that Gov. Harold c. Hoffman of New Jersey was interested in questioning C0ndon.
