to the Pallid Hose this year.
Case is outstanding in q
spring season marked by injur-
les to key men on teams. Frank
Croucher of the Detroit Tigers
is in Lakeland Hospital with a
broken leg, and Billy Rogell is
hoping against hope that his in
fected hand will clear up in
time for him to play in the
opening game OF the season.
The surgeons shake their heads
and say that Rogell is the
worlds greatest optimiSt.
Baseball careers have been
wrecked by injuries such as
those which befell Appling and
Croucher. Illness has changed
the status of some players and
given others a chance to rise to
glory.

Key Man to Team

Just before we left Orlando
I talked with the colorful little
Rabbit Meanwhile about these
training camp injuries. It was
entirely appropriate that the
Rabbit be consulted, for he got
his chance when Art Bues, Of
the Boston Braves, was stricken
with an infected throat. He
ended his career in a desperate
slide for the plate against the
New York Yankees at Water
Front Park in st. Petersburg in
an exhibition game.
The injury to Appling is
tough on the White Sox," Rab-
bit said. "He was a key man on
the team. With him playing
every day the Sox had a chance
to win the pennant. Gerry
Walker in the outfield and Mar
win Owen on third base made
the Sox a good bet to be fight
ing right down to the end.
DiMaggio's holdcut doesn't make
the Yankees any stronger.
1.-THE injury to Croucher is
tough on him. He just about
had won that shortStop's job on
the Tigers. Mickey told me the
day before Croucher was injured
that he would start the season.

''They didn't get me out Of
the lineup, either" said the
little guy whose color made a
rainbow look drab. TT might
have been the same way with
Croucher. He had his chance,
and was making the most of it.
Now he will have to start all
over again."
Riding from Orlando on the
train last night, Clark Griffith
discussed the matter of in
jurieS.
They rarely come back after
q serious injury" Griff said.
"You take the case Of Walter
johnson, whose leg was broken
when Joe Judge hit a line drive
back at him. Walter was well
along as an athlete, but his
arm was strong, and he proba-
bly, would have had two or three
years before him. He just went
when the injury struck him.
"Bucky Harris was the same
way; he was a good ball player
when he was hurt. He never
could get back to form.
"You will see Lou Gehrig go
the same way" Griff ambled on.
IT hope that Lou never meets
with bad luck, but If he ever
breaks that great string Of his,
you may see him fade out Of
the picture. Maybe he will go
slowly; perhaps it will be swift.
But if he's ever hurt at this
stage of his career, it will be
good-by to Lou"
