IS SEEN
HEIR TO HARTNETT.
Gabby Fading, SIugging Red
Ready to Climb Throne
of Nj. Catchers.
BY EARL HILLIGAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, July 9-The king of Ma
tional League catchers for many years
and a fellow who looms as a possible
are shaking the turf of Wrigley Field
today with their 435 pounds of back
stopping talent-Gabby Hartnett and
Ernie lombard
The 220-pound Irishman, Hartnett,
is playing his 18th season in the big
time. all with the Cubs. For decade
he has sparked his team and earned
recognition as one of the finest catch
ers ever to perform in the senior cir
cult He's 81 years old, however, and
soon may have to dof the Grown he's
worn SO long.
The man who may put it on is
Signor ''Beezer" lombard, the 215-
pound Cincinnati Reds backstop, who
has been waving his big nose and big
bat SO contemptuously at all kinds of
pitching this season.
lombard a Whopper, Too.
If Lombardi does take over the spot
Gabby so long has held the fans won't
be shocked by any physical change.
For several years Hartnett, a big grin
on his apple red face, has rumbled
around the base paths with tractor-like
speed. The ground still is shaking
from the slide which ended his last
successful base stealing attempt back
in 1885.
Lombardi, being only 80 years old.

of foot. He stole one base in 1886 and
duplicated that remarkable feat last
season. He has that 5-pound pull in
the weights over Gabby and at 6 feet
2 inches has 1-inch advantage over
the portly Cub star in stretching foot
to the bag.
Personalities Differ Greatly.
There IS sharp contrast. however,
in their personalities. The quiet, more
reserved lombard hasn't the Hart
nett grin that reaches right up into
the stands and gets him a big hand
every time he waddles up to the plate.
Gabby's commendable batting aver
age through Is seasons with the Cubs
is 800. He has suffered a letdown re-
Gently which has done his plate aver
age and the Cubs pennant hopes no
good, but take it from the likeable vet
eran, he'll be bouncing back into form
very soon.
Lombardi, until this season, never
had been rated a smart handler of
pitchers. He's done wonders this sea-
son, however, and Johnny (Two-no-
hit) Wander Nicer will testify to that.
He hit .343, 1888 and 1874 during the
last three seasons and this year has
been lacing the ball at league lead
ing clip of around 800.

FOXX SOUNDS HIGH
PRAISE Of KRAKKY
Declares Griftman Faster
Than Wander Meer-Rook
Needs Only Control.
BY EDDY GILMORE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Ask the average baseball fan to
name the lefthander with the most
stuff in the major leagues and he'll
probably call out anybody butt. V.
L. Krakauskas.
Evidence is slowly mounting, how
ever, that this raw rookie of the
Washington Senators has got more
than strange sounding name.
Latest to pitch adjectives Krakky's
way is Jimmy Foxx. the Red Sox first
sacker, and a fellow who's looked at a
lot of pitching.
Asked about Johnny Wander Nicer
after the all-star game, Jimmy wound
up and said:
Tell you what, there's a lefty down
in Washington who's got him licked
in every way except one. And that's
control. That kid is faster and he's
got a better curve, too"
MCGOWAN Backs Up Foxx.
More stuff than the man who hurled
two consecutive no-hit games?
Sure" said Jimmy, hes one of
the fastest fellows who ever threw a
ball"
That isn't the opinion of only one
authority either. There's Bill Nc
GoWan, the American League umpire
who's been gazing at balls and strikes
for years.
Hes terribly FAST" said Bill. II
think he may be faster than Lefty
Grove was in his prime-and, brother
that's fast"
Yet, possessed of speed and curves,
Krakauskas has been failure with
the Senators this year. Wildness has
been the trouble.
Krakauskas is a tow headed. bow
legged 200-pounder from Hamilton,
Ontario He was with Trenton last
year, where he struck out 1874 would-be
hitters.
Will Star Yet, Says Bucky.
With the Senators this year he's won
only a single game while losing two
and is so flighty Manager Bucky Harris
trembles when he starts him.
Krakky has hurled 16 innings and
has walked "a batters, but he's Whitfield
Is. That's walking one or two an
inning and striking out one an inning.
He either walks them or fans
them,' said Bucky, but some day that
boys going to get control, and he'll
be one of the greatest lefties in the
usineSS."

Auto Driving Slows Swimmer
Anyway, Kahanamoku Ayers 1t Bunched Muscles
and Led to Defeat by Weissmuller.

Driving an automobile is bad for
swimmers. Kahanamoku warned,
because pushing the clutch and
brake pedals punches the SWIM
ming muscles of the legs.
"I'd advise any young swimmer
to walk when he isn't swimming"
he said.
His loss in 1924 to Johnny Weiss
muller in the 50-meter Olympic
Games sprint in Paris Kahana-
moku blames on "knotty" legs.
Il started driving pretty steadily
after the 1920 games," ne recalled,
"and when I came to the mainland
realized that my legs might not
stand up. wasn't afraid Of Weiss
muller. I was afraid Of my legs.
We'll, they didn't have the old
kick although Weissmuller vas

NEW YORK, July 8.-The Amer
ican League batting field began clos
ing in on Earl Averill of the Indians
this week, while Ernie Lombardi of
the Reds had an easier time than
ever in pacing the National League
hit parade.
Averill, riding along on a 24-point
margin in the junior circuit a week
ago, went into q tail-spin during the
last seven-day span and saw his av-
erage fall to .371 and his lead cut to
18 points. At the same time Cecil
Travis. Washington shortstop, boosted
his mark two points to 1851 and took
over second place.
In the National League, Lombardi
connected for five hits in 13 batting
chances and boosted his average two
points to 1861. His Cincinnati team
mate, Ival Goodman, went on nit
ting splurge and raised his average
13 points to .341 for second place.
Medwick Drops to Third.
Both second-place holders Of q
week ago fell off. Ducky Medwick of
the Cardinals dropping to third in the
National League and Hal Trosky Of
the Indians nose-diving to fourth in
the American League.
Notable among the newcomers in
the top ten were Joe Di Maggie, Yam
KEGS walloper, who climbed from 18th
to eighth with . 21-point boost to

Bob Groue, Once Snob, Now
S,ceet-T Tempered, Charitable
Ace, but Change Is Mystery


Veteran baseball writers, who always
used to swear that when Lefty Grove
hit the skids they would lay it on him
thick for his uppishness, can't believe
the change. Unlike the times when he
used to give them the cold stare and
walk away from interviewers. Grove is
all honey and light He'll talk base
ball by the hour with one and all. sign
his autograph gladly, and even 60 out
Of his way to be a grand guy instead
of the wrong kind. Result: He's one
of the most popular stars in the busi-
ness today.
And the best part of his reforma-
ton is that it isn't taking place too
late-in a day when his star is de-
scending amid the cruel hoots of
crowds which find it so easy to forget.
So far this season, the pride of Beacon
street and the Blue Ridge Mountains
has won II and lost games as he
spares his arm and uses his head. At
38. he's winning 'em as often and
almost as convincingly as ever.
Inspires Slab Veterans.
But the best part of Groves cur
rent record is its influence on a large
number of pitchers who are perched
on the precipice of failure. ready to
drop into baseball oblivion Those
chuckers regard the craving master
as beacon light, figuring: If he can
pitch with his head. why can't we?"
Two of his most avid disciples today
are two of the most famous pitching
stars of yesterday-Paul Dean and the
unforgettable Schoolboy Rowe. who
are trying to come back in the Texas
League.
Both Paul and the Schoolboy are
trying to pattern themselves after
they once had for slow, accurate
curves. Down in Beaumont, Tex,
where he is trying to come back, a
happy Rowe said:
Il talked with Lefty this spring and
he told me how he overcame his sore
arm trouble and lack of youthful
speed. believe he is better pitcher
than he ever was. And he has con-
vinced me I can come back better
than I ever was"
Several young rookie pitchers have
given old Moses credit for leading them
out of the wilderness this season
Foremost of course, was Cincinnati's
sensational Johnny Wander Nicer
Johnny, still an Alice-in-W Wonderland
type of rookie, asked Grove some ques-
tions on pitching last spring in Florida
and was pleased and astonished to gel
some excellent advice.
May Be Cronin's Influence.
Coupled with what he picked uE
from Manager Bill McKechnie ane
Catcher Ernie Lombardi-a man who
should get almost as much credit a!
Wander Nicer for those two straight
no-hit games-Vander Nicer developed
in few months from wild, stumbling
rookie to great star.
What happened to change old Moses
from grumbling prima donna to 9
pleasant helping -hander is hard to de-
termine unless its the mellowness that
comes with old age. Maybe he's smok-
ing milder cigars or maybe those Wild
West novels he reads are getting tanner
Then, too, he runs couple of bowling
and billiard emporiums, where he may
have learned the spirit of cameraderie
This corners best guess, however, is
that the strange change has come
through association with one of the
sweetest men in all sports-Manager
Joe Cronin of the Red Sox. You can't
stick around Joe and be a crab.
