Heinrich Wanted
If Tag Is Right

CLARK GRIFFITH, president of
the Washington ball club, is
interested in grabbing Free Agent
Tom Heinrich, but
His price has to be right" ad-
mitted the old gentleman today.
I'm interested in him, I'll admit,
but want to know first how much
he wants for signing"
1t was improbable that Griffith
was the only major league club
owner interested in Mr.. Heinrich
today. The fly-chaser, who be-
longed to Cleveland until yester-
day, when Judge K. M. Lands de-
clared him free agent, is rated
as one Of the best young prospects
extant. A general scramble for his
services is expected, and the young
man is assured of a sizeable bonus
for signing with any major league
club.
Griffith, whose outfield situation
was causing considerable worry
until the recent purchase of Al
Simmons from Detroit, was ex-
pected to sound out Heinrich today
by wire or long distance telephone.

Today, if anybody looks to be a

Consider, if you please, Linke's
record. He has appeared in six
games this Spring. He went to
bat half a dozen times and pounded
out two singles, a double, a triple
and a home run. His bat has di-
rectly been responsible for the

Majors Rush to Grab Heinrich,
Star Rookie Made Free AGENT
By the Associated Press.

- HICAGO, April 15.-A half
I dozen major league base ball
Y clubs waved checkbook bait
~ today at Tom Heinrich, a
husky young outfielder, whose current
stock in trade was .346 minor league
batting average and promise OF future
greatness.
Heinrich was freed from the Mil
waukee club Of the American Asso-
citation by Base Ball Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Lands yesterday,
in ruling that carried an implied
rebuke to the Cleveland Indians for
attempting to "cover up" the player
to prevent his advancement to major
league surroundings under the draft
rule.
The youngster, a big, 22-year-old
slugger, had not asked tie commits
sioner for free agency, but had petit
toned for clarification Of his status
following his sale last Fall by New
Orleans of the Southern Association, a
Cleveland farm, to Milwaukee. Com
missioner Lands, however, decided
Henrich's contract rights had been
violated and declared him at liberty
to sell himself to the strongest bidder.
At the head of the list on Henrich's
trail were the Giants, whose Manager
Bill Terry was on record as saying
he would offer $4,000 to sign the
outfielder. The Reds were Inter
ested, but did not intend to go hay
wire on the matter"
Connie Mack had made an offer
of an undisclosed sum to Heinrich
The World Champion Yankees had
a scout on Henrich's trail, while the
Pirates showed interest, but had made
no offer.
Evening star., 1937-04-15

Commissioner Lands ordered that
Heinrich, who has played with Mil
waukee only in Spring training games,
withhold consideration of offers until
Friday. He also stipulated that Hen
rich could not become a member of
the Milwaukee club after he has
signed with some other team. The
Brewers, who regarded Heinrich as a
brilliant prospect and had planned
to use him as a regular, had asked
the commissioner for a chance at
him should his future affiliation de-
sire to farm him out.

Strategy Altered Game.

IN 1907 Hanlon returned to Balti-
more as president of the Orioles
then playing in the Eastern League.
His fame lived on, despite his re-
tirement, in the achievements of the
old Orioles who scattered throughout
the two major leagues. The inside
base ball he taught them-hit-run,
place hitting, and the like-altered
the game radically to bring strategy
into eminence.
Most of the original Orioles are
dead-McGraw, manager of the New
York Giants; Robinson, picturesque
pilot Of the Dodgers, and Rollicking
Steve Brodie, outfielder of Hanlons
Baltimore club, all are buried here.
In addition to McGraw and Robin
son, Hanlon trained such managers as
Jennings, Bill Donovan, Joe Kelley,
Jim Mcclure, Fielder Jones and Bill
Dahlen.

Court Reserves Decision.

FEDERAL JUDGE GUY L. FAKE

over the relative merits of each and

He refused to consider the an

statement by George w. Whiteside,
Garden counsel. that promoters Of
a Braddock-Louis fght are "a bunch
of outlaws" who should be made "to
explain why they pay boxers to re-
pudiate their contracts"
The contract squabble came up
after Merritt Lane, Braddock's attor-

the bench, said the champions inten-

~ ALTIMORE, April l5.-"Foxy
u Ned" Hanlon, guiding hand o.
the famous old Baltimore
- Orioles, thrice champions of
the National League and supreme
rulers of the base ball realm of the
middle '90s, is dead.
Sometimes called the father of
modern base ball, the earliest devotee
OF the hit-and-run and tutor of such
base ball greats" as the late John j.
McGraw, Uncle" Wilbert Robinson
and Hughey Jennings, Hanlon died
here shortly before midnight last
night. He was 79.
He had been in i'll health for three
years. Saturday he suffered a heart
attack and sank steadily.
He was president of the Baltimore
City Park Board and his interest in
base ball never Jagged until a few
years back, when he reached the con-
cluslon that there's never anything
new in the game now; it seems to be
the same old stuff all the time"
Paid Record Salary.
HIS career IN base ball began in
Montville, Conn, his birthplace.
From Montville, he went to Providence,
of the old New England League, and
from there to Fall River, Rochester
and Albany, successfully. He broke
into the National League with Cleve-
land in 1880.
AS manager at Pittsburgh, at the
fabulous salary of $4,000 annually,
he achieved instant success and was
drafted to Baltimore in 1898. A year
later he carried the fighting flock to
its first championship-the title the
Orioles held for three straight years.
When Baltimore and Brooklyn COM
bined, Hanlon won two more pennants
for Brooklyn and received the highest
salary ever paid manager up to that
time. He took over the Cincinnati
club in 1905 at higher salary and
retired from active managing after
two seasons.
