The emissaries of Col. Jake Rup-
pert's New York Yankees talked
most convincingly. Tom was signed
with them and given a bonus Of
$40, 900.
At the time Joe Mccarthy hap
pened to be overloaded with out
fielders, so he sent Tom across the
river to Newark where the Yankees
maintain their main talent farm.
At Newark Tom lived up to his ad-
vance notices. He got away to a
good start, was fashy in the field
and soon was slamming the bali
all over the International league.
Then the Yanks began to encoun-
ter some tough going. The outfield
powerhouse was crippled by in
juries. Roy Johnson, whom Nc
Carthy had secured from Boston.
couldn't get going. Desperate for
talent, Mccarthy sold johnson to
the Boston Bees and recalled young
Tom Heinrich from Newark. In
juries then played further into Tom
my's hands. George Selkirk had
to take time out, on account of a
bad leg. That put the job of right
field squarely up to the rookie Hen
rich.
Tommy fulfilled the story-book
tradition by making good in a big
way. He proved by hard hitting
that he had right to be included
in the Yanks' Murderers' Row. He
didn't confine himself to singles or
doubles, but began punching the ball
into the bleachers. His fielding
was sensational and his throw-ins
from the outfield on close plays were
every bit as good as his phenomenal
young colleague, Joe Di Maggie.
Now at twenty-one, Tommy Hen
rich seems to be on the way to a
great major league career. He has
gone at such a pace that there
seems little likelihood that Seilxirk
will win back his job from him.
If the Yanks win the American
league pennant this year, Tom Hen
rich will be one of the reasons. So

a second baseman by trade and who
succeeded the durable Tony Lag
zeri, now a member of the Chi
cago Cubs. Heinrich and Gordon
give new coverage to second base
and right field
And coming up through the school
that developed Gordon and that
Heinrich attended for a while last
year is another young fellow who,
the scouts say, will be ready for tie
big show next year. His name is
Charley Keller and he an outfield-
er. Coming out of the University Of
Maryland last year. he led the In
ternational league in hitting and
is continuing the pace with Newark

Speeding of Sports
Softball Led
I'll en- rich to
Big Leagues
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

YOUNG Tom Heinrich used to
knock softbaI!s over the play
ground fence and be quite a hero to
the neighbOrhOOd kids.
Now young Tom Heinrich knocks
hard baseballs over the fence in
American league parks and the wise
boys predict that future diamond
historians will rank him in the same
outfield fight as iris Speaker,
Iy Cobb, Babe Ruth and his team
mate, Joe Di Maggie. For Heinrich
is making the fans around the cir
cult sit up and take notice because
OF his brilliant work as right fielder
OF the New York Yankees and as
one OF the teams sluggers.
1t was back in Massilon, Ohio,
that Tom began playing sOftball. 1t
wasn't long before he found this
game rather tame and turned to
sandlot baseball. He looked so
good that his father got interested
and gave him encOura cement.
TownsfOlk began talking about
Toms uncanny fielding ability and
his knack of hitting baseballs where
the fielders weren't.
Soon the Cleveland Indians heard
about him and one of their scouts
wired the home office that he was
one of the finds of the bushes. The
Indians signed him and then in
dulged in a bit of "cover up play"
that came to the attention of Com
missioner Kenesaw Mountain Lam
dis. The commissioner declared
young Heinrich a free agent.

OF Fred Perry and Ellsworth Vines
probably the greatest players in the
world today. Both failed to enter
the national professional champion
ship and did not compete in any of
the various other tournaments held
in the South last winter and this
spring.
TIE appearance of either of these
stars in the cha norionship events
would insure their success and
heighten public interest in the tour
naments. 1t is explained that Vines
and Perry can make more money
playing exhibition matches than
they can in tournaments. In tourna-
ment play, for example, if Vines
won both singles and doubles titles
he would make from $500 to 81 900
a week of continuous play. In ex-
hibitiOn play at present his net re-
ceipts would far exceed that in a
day or two.
Still, for the sake of the pro
games future, those on the inside
assert that it would be good bust
ness for both Vines and Perry to
enter the professional tournaments.
They might sacrifice some income
for a week or two, but in the long
run they would probably make more
as result of increased interest in
the game among fans everywhere.
1t has also been suggested that
closer cooperation be established
between the pro players and the
professional association itself.

Tennis Dilemma

PROFESSIONAL tennis appears
to be at the crossroads. Its future
will depend largely on which direc-
ton it turns. Small galleries at the
national professional tennis cham
piOnship tournaments this year pre-
sage diminishing of public inter
est in the pro game unless several
remedies are applied.
Followers of the game point out
that the top-notch pro talent does not
compete in the national professional
tournaments as does the top pro tai
ent in golf. They cite the example
