COMEBACK HOPES
OF HAFEY FADING
Once Great Hitter, Unable
to Shake Sinus Trouble,
Sad Over Outlook.
BY RUSSELL J. NEWLAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

w WALNUT CREEK, Calf, April
M 14.-Five years ago Chick
w Hafey was the toast Of the
National League.
Today, while the major base ball
circuits were celebrating the opening
of another season. the bespectacled
outfielder gazed over the rolling hills
and somewhat dejectedly said:
Il guess I'll have to give up the idea
of a comeback"
He led the National League hitters
in 1881 as st. Louis Cardinal. Early
last Spring he suddenly left the Gin
cinnati Reds.
Hafey believes he is the victim of
a sinus aff1iction. -Four operations
have brought relief, but not perma-
nent correction.
II don't know what's the matter"
he said. "Just when think every
thing is all right. get dizzy spell.
The other day when I was driving
home, things started spinning, and I
had to stop the car and rest for a
while. It must be the sinus acting up.
Impairs His Vision.
DON'T want to try to play again
if I'm going to have this trouble.
The last season played, had to have
my glasses fitted with new lenses four
times. Every time I caught cold, it
would impair my vision. Charley
Dresser (manager of the Reds) wanted
me to go to Arizona this Spring and
report May Is, but think it would
do no more good than staying here.
It looks like I'll have to say good-by to
base ball"
For a time he flirted with the idea
of trying comeback with a Pacific
Coast League team, but nothing came
Of it. His contract still belongs to
Cincinnati. Hafey assumes that the
National League club owners feel that
If he is in condition to play minor
league ball he should be good enough
to hold down place in the majors.
At 80, he Is only little past his
prime. He feels he has plenty of base
ball playing left in his system. He
weighs 1873 pounds, exactly what he did
when he was the leagues leading swat
smith. Outwardly he appears in per-
feet physical trim, the result of daily
labor on his 26-acre farm.

Pace on Scoring.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. April 14.-Ste-
phen Mann, a member of the third,
or sophomore class, is high scorer of
the strong Navy lacrosse team this
year and is helping to stamp his class
as one of the best athletically which
has ever entered the Academy.
Helping to inflict the only defeat
on Princeton in three seasons by a
college team, Mann was high scorer,
with three goals, the only scores made
by either team in the first half. He
was also heavy scorer against Dart
mouth and Harvard.
Mann also made the varsity wrestling
team his first year and made a good
record. He prepared at Severn School,
where he took part in both sports.

Manager Bill Terry stuck to Hal
Schumacher as his choice.
In the other game in the East the
Phillies were counting on Curt Davis,
their ace. to outpitch the veteran DAN
ny MacFayden of the Boston Bees.
Interest was centering on the St.
Louis game not only because these two
teams are favored to win the pennant,
but because the Cubs won the 1885
pennant by beating the Cards in the
last series of the season, and Warneke,
pitching one of the greatest games of
his career, played an important part
in that series. On September IS he
won the Cubs nineteenth straight
game, allowing the Cards only two
hits and winning pitchers battle
from Paul Dean, 10.

Fair weather predictions in all cities

and Brooklyn at New York.
Though the Brooklyn-New York
game at the Polo Grounds was attract

Sent Away by Dodgers.

T SUPPOSE you'd have to go a long
way to find ball player, especially
pitcher, who has flddled away as
much time in base ball as Louie
Norman Newsom. Way back in
1929, f'rinstance, Newsom was pitch
ing for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He
got of to bad start. losing all three
games he pitched, and he went away.
Brooklyn sent him back to the bushes
and Newsom didn't come back to the
big show until 1882, when the Chicago
Cubs gave him a chance.
1t wasn't much of a chance,
at that. The Cubs cut him
loose pronto, and again Buck
drifted around the bush leagues.
He's served in eight different
leagues. by the way.
Then, in 1888 with Los Angeles in
the Pacific Coast League. the big guy
seemed to strike his stride. He won
80 games and lost II, and the Browns
promptly landed him. But it was the
same old story. Newsom won only
2 of his first games in 1884 with
st. Louis, and, despite a world of
speed and plenty of stuff. he finished
the season as losing pitcher, with
Is wins and 20 defeats.

Provides Sharp Contrast.

RALL players can be fooled, too, but
it's hard to dwell on this now as far
as Hill is concerned. Young, possess
ing as much speed afoot as any player
in the American Le>>Sle, and an ideal
team man type, Jesse promises to lend
sharp contrast to the slow-moving, dis
pirited veteran who a year ago sunk
with the Nationals.
The boys start from scratch today
IN the business Of compiling records
bunt what has gone before, even in
grapefruit league play, cannot be over
looked. Washington may have lost
a great hitter in Manush, but it seems
to have gained, in Hill, as asset of
equal value-a lead-off man.
1t was something Of a remarkable
record that Jesse Terrill carried into
battle today. 1t started back in Or
lando, Fla, month ago yesterday
and now, with IA box scores embracing
the name of Hill, there seems ample
reason to look at the feats of the only
newcomer in the Capital lineup due
to be on display today.
Every Other Time Guy.
TO BEGIN with, Jesse enters the
American League fight with a
1927 average compiled against major
and minor league foemen alike.
Seventeen hits, including seven for
extra bases, in So official times at
bat supplied the fancy figure for
lead-off batter. But that is only the
beginning. Sixty-two times, in all,
Hill has walked to the plate this
Spring and 81 times he has reached
first base for an even 500 average.
Twelve times he has drawn bases on
balls and twice he has raced to the
bag safely on errors by an opposing
inf1eld. To top it off, he batted across
9 runs and shows the commendable
total of II runs scored himself.
Maybe today's inaugural and 153
future games will show something
else. Buddy Lewis is candidate for
the distinction voted Hill. The Joe
Kuhel Of 1896 seems to be different
ball player than the Kuhel of 1895.
Cecil Travis promises to add to his
value now that he is shortstop. Carl
Reynolds is definite asset-a hight
handed hitting outfielder-not boasted
by last years Nationals.
But until it is proved otherwise, you
might well put down Jesse Terrill Hill
as the one big individual improvement
over team that year ago pranced
to the barrier with the same high
hopes that Bucky Harris club car
ried today.
Evening star., 1936-04-14

late in May. He wound up the season
with II victories and 18 defeats, lead
ing the American League in most
games lost.
Now he gets another chance. Al
most from the start of the Washing
ton ball clubs Spring training it was
a foregone conclusion that Newsom
was best fitted, physically, to pitch the
opening game against the Yankees.
He was fast as blazes and his con-
troll was Just right-not too good, but
not too bad. His curve was like ball
rolling off table
And yet, along about noon,
when he was dressing for the
test, there hung the specter Of
four past dolorOus starts as a
major leageu pitcher.
There is reason to believe, however,
that 1886 is Newsom's year. First
of all, he is playing for guy he'd
stick his head in the furnace for
Bucky Harris. Secondly, he has be-
gun to grasp the fact that pitching
requires more than fast ball, es-
sential as speed can be.
Changed to Overland HurIer.
NHEN he went up with the Dodgers,
in 1929, Newsom checked in as
an underhand pitcher, believe it or
not. Even his best friends accused
him of initiating somebody he saw
probably Carl Mays. Uncle Wilbert
Robinson, who then was managing
the Dodgers, quickly tried to put New
som straight, but Uncle Robbie only
did the job half way. When he
passed Buck along, Robbie did so
with Newsom as side-arm pitcher.
And that's what he was, primarily,
when Bucky Harris inherited him last
Summer.
Newsom had thrown over
hand and had detected degree
of effectiveness. But he still
thought he was a side-armer.
Harris has done a complete job on
Newsom as far as his pitching style
Is concerned. The goofy, windmill
wind-up that Buck employed with the
Browns is a thing Of the past. So
is his side-arm delivery, except in
rare instances. when he's ahead of
the batter. Newsom today is strictly
an overland pitcher and a potential
winner of IS ball games. He says
so himself and in this contention he
has plenty of support. Harris, for
one. thinks he's a 25-game winner,
too.
Whether he is may depend on how
he fares today and during the next
couple weeks. Somehow, bad starts
don't seem to help him. But let the
big guy stake himself to a winging
start and-well, write out your own
ticket on where Washington might
finish with a pitching pacemaker
who can be counted on for 25 victories.
