CHICAGO, June 30.-Bobby Riggs

The youth who calls both Los An

Big SIugger Because He
Spurned Minor Job.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, June 3o.-Connie
Mack is getting many . quiet chuckle
these days Is he sits in the Athletics
dugout and watches Sam Chapman,
his slugging rookie from the University
Of California. roam the outfield.
Next to Ken. Keltner. Cleveland's
third baseman, Connie considers his
big all-America football star the most
important discovery of the season.
The 76-year-old leader suspects he has
CHANGED upon a truly great star.
From the day Chapman entered the
lineup he has been pounding the ball,
and several of his wallops have been
prodigious. He missed the distant CEN
terrified bleachers in St. Louis by only
a few feet with one smack, another
hit the top of the Detroit scoreboard.
Goodness, how he hits the ball."
enthused Connie. And, you know,
the funniest thing is that both the
Yankees and the Red Sox had a
chance at him first. Both wanted to
start him In the minor leagues, though.
and Sam was determined that he
would pass up baseball entirely If he
couldn't play IN the majors.
Gets Star on Cobb's Tip.
"Ty Cobb wrote me that the lad
was good enough to step right into the
big show, and, luckily. was in a posi-
tion to give him an immediate and
thorough trial. I realized I had a fine
player the first time saw him at bat"
While Connie has taken many Of
his stars direct from the college
campus. among them Eddie Collins,
Eddie Plank, Jack Coombs, Jack Barry
and Chief Bender Of lasting fame,
Chapman is his first outfelder to
make the big jump. Sam didn't look
very good in centerfield, where Con-
ME tried him first, but has proved a
ball-hawk in left.
mo. even Chapman doesn't make
us a pennant threat" the aged leader
smiled. I'VE need q couple more top
notch men to make things interesting.
But I'll tell you who Is likely to win
the pennant-Cleveland. They're very
strong.
If the Yankees overtake them now
I will be surprised. The Yankees Of
the last two years probably would have
beaten them. but somehow a team
that wins the championship twice
never plays quite as well the third
year. Don't ask me why, but it has
been so with my great clubs. Seems
like they just get tired Of winning"
Keltner Highly Praised.
Next to Keltner and Chapman, Con-
ME rates Joe Gordon. Yankee second
baseman, the years outstanding rookie,
with Jeff Heath, Cleveland outfielder,
. strong fourth.
Il would say that Keltner's play
has been the most important factor
In Cleveland's great improvement;
even more important than the hitting
Of Averin and Trosky and the pitch
ing Of Feller and Allen. He Is doing
the same thing for Cleveland that Joe
Dt Maggie did for the Yankees two
years ago."
