BEAN BALL CLINIC
TO Be HELD HERE
An-Star Game Gives Club
Owners Chance to Check
Injury Problem.
BY CONNIE MACK.

TANS are puzzling over the all
~ star batting orders next We'd
nesday in Washington, but the
major league owners are max
ing plans to discuss much more vital
problem-Ways and means TO mini
mize player head injuries from pitched
balls. There have been an unprece-
dented number. Tradition dictates
the flimsy cap now in use, but there
is much discussion of definite pro-
tective headpiece.
Already having been tested by polo
players and steeplechase jockeys, the
various types used in those hazardous
sports command attention.
They're not theoretical.
Many foot ball players played bare
headed years ago. Now l doubt if
single college player is without a he'll
met. Most coaches insist on them.
Poloists and steeplechase riders
once used silk caps. But when polo
fatalities and injuries came from ac-
cldents in which the wooden ball
struck rider on the head the helmet
was introduced.
Weigh All Angles.
I'M NOT SURE this helmet plan will
be adopted. But we certainly will
weigh every angle. One Of the biggest
obstacles, I suspect, would be the
players themselves.
They might not cotton to the plan.
But the time has come to 20 fur
ther than our rigid ruling about the
bean ball"
Bump Hadley of the Yankees, I am
positive, had no intention of har1ning
Mickey Cochrane. Yet Mickey, when
I hurried over to his hospital in New
York shortly after the accident, was
a mighty sick man.
Happily. he's back in Detroit now
recovering nicely, but that isn't
enough. Aside from the duty to pro-
tect the player, you have very prac-
tlcal point. A player with no dread
of being beaned is sure to be better
batter.
It's only human for man who has
been struck to be wary, no matter
how much courage he has.
And when season produces -four
serious cases before mid-June, every
player Is bound to be affected.
The epidemic started in training sea-
son, when Hank Leiber of the Giants
failed 10 duck one of Bob Fellers fast
ones. Hank was in the hospital TO,
weeks, and even now it's doubtful /.
he'll play this season.

important double-header on July S

fine chance of winning one of those

But, doggone it, we can't do
it. The rule is that no all-star

TO FANS, IS PLEA
Pilots Have Done No Better
Job Naming Teams Than
Did Customers.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

~H1CAGo, June 3o-Joe Nc
Carthy and VIII Terry have
nominated their teams for
~ the one game world series in
Washington, July 7, and 1 cannot see
where they possibly have improved
upon the selections Of the fans who
voted for the all-star squads in each
Of the four previous contests.
The choice Of the all-star squads
WAS taken away from the fans this
year because the two leagues no
longer could tolerate the idea that
the game was an exhibition rather
than contest. It was the one oc-
casion on which the fans of the coun-
try could vote for their favorites, but
the leagues were of the opinion that
the customers picked too many dead"
ones and that the managers could do
better job
So, you find Joe Mccarthy choosing
Lefty Grove, Wes Ferrell and Tommy
Bridges, who have been no great
shakes this year, and you find Bill
Terry nominating Dizzy Dean, Carl
Hubbell and Van Mungo, three who
would have led the National League
list had the fans been permitted to
ballot.

WHAT Mccarthy will do with three

In past games, Jimmy Foxx usually
has moved over to third base, but
with Rolfe and Cliff two regulars at
that job, on hand, he cannot very
well again introduce Foxx at the hot
turn. Gift is batting magnificently
for the Browns and is a much better
fielder than Foxx, 80, on form, should
get the first call.
The infleld of Gehrig, Greenberg
or Foxx and Gehringer, Cronin and
Cliff is a peach, but little better than
one made up Collins, Herman. Jurges
and Vaughan. The outfields are about
even, and there is little to choose be-
tween the catchers. But the pitching
will start the Nationals off with an
advantage. and pitching is the thing
in this game. The Nationals have
won only one out of four all-star
games, but at this range have a fine
chance to grab the 1887 presenta ton
The game in Washington will be
sellout. but taking the choice of teams
away from the fans has chilled ma
tional interest. If the major leagues
are alive to public sentiment, they
will give the game back to the fans
next season. Arch Ward, originator
OF the game, intended it to be a spec

Might Differ on Apping.

THE only American League infielder
about whom the fans might have
differed with Manager Mccarthy is
Luke Appling, the White Sox short
stop and league batting champion last
season. Mccarthy picked Joe Cronin
OF Boston. which is quite all right
except that Appling receives no recoe-
milton for leading the American
League in hitting over the 1886 cam
paign. The outfield represents a
good popular concensus, so McCarthy's
genius differs little from the voice Of
the fans.
Terry's selections meet with pop
ular approval save that he has no
third baseman on his squad Terry
has named three shortStops for his
team, Bill Jurges of the Cubs, Dick
Bartell Of the Giants and Arky
Vaughan OF the Pirates. That means
one of the shortfelders must play
third base and the choice likely will

Terry can use Dean, Hubbell and

IT'S not exactly the way Col. Jacob
Rupert would have it, but never

L Chicago White Sox are swapping
at the Yankees heels has brought JOY
to the remainder Of the American
League.
Col. Rupert would much rather
see his world champions out in front,
spread-eagling the field as they did
last year, when they held an eight
and-a-half-game advantage over the
second-place Tigers on the last day
of June. The White Sox were just
another ball club. down in sixth
place and trailing by 1872 games.
The Yanks again held first place
today, but their position was far from
as secure as it was a year ago. The
Pale Hose trailed only by three games
after climbing into the first division
on June l. Last year they didn't
stick their heads out of the second
flight until late in July.
