MENTOR ON-THE-LAKE, Ohio,
June 28.-Napoleon Larry Lajoie,
one of baseball's immortals, added
his seldom-heard voice today to
agitation for headgear to protect
batters from whizzing bean balls" +"
Tall and erect at 81, Lajoie looked
up from the lawnmower he was
pushing around his peaceful summer
home and opined:
"It's better to wear a helmet than
to be carried away on a stretcher." :"
While baseball fans still argue
whether he or Eddie Collins was the
best second baseman in the games
long history, Lajoie lives in near
seclusion at his white frame home
on the Lake Erie shore, Is miles east
of Cleveland.
From May through October he
chats with the neighbors, putting
away at a tooth-marked pipe. and
works around his two-acre lawn and
flower garden. In the winter, he
and Mrs. Lajoie rent home at
Lake Worth, Fla.
Protection Sorely Needed.
"They ought to be able to make
something to stop the ball from
hurting everybody, especially for
night baseball" he declared.
"If you got in front of fast one
like Bob Feller throws under the
lights, it would be too bad. It's
bad enough when you get hit on the
back, but 1t looks like head injuries
are increasing"
Lajoie declared helmet shouldn't
interfere with any ones batting
average and he should know, since
he hit above 300 for 16 big league
years before he retired in 1916.
Lajoie recalled how a "bean ball"
sent "Ducky" Medwick of Brooklyn
to hospital recently; Of countless
similar incidents, and especially how
one of Carl Mays pitches 20 years
ago fatally injured Ray Chapman.
Some batters seem glued to the
plate" he said with reminiscent
eye.
Chances Hearing Affected.
II remember being beaned only
once-Rube Waddell threw me a
curve when was looking for fast
ball and it glanced of my head.
But Frank Chance was hit 50 many
times, II or 10 I think 1t was, that

Buck Needs Pair

Top Browns
Schumacher SporkIes
For Giunts;; Dodgers =
Barely Beut Cubs
BY JUDSON BAILEY,

Big Buck tShowboat) Newsom of
the Detroit Tigers, one of the poi
sonous personality kids of the thun-
dering 3Os in the major leagues,
Is fellow who will tell you it's
better to be lucky than good any
time.
Newsom hasn't been beaten since
the seasons opening game with the
st. Louis Browns, and last night
ne checked off his 10th victory, a
81 tally against those same st.
Louis Browns.
Old ShoS boat, who won 20 games
in both 1888 and 1889 and prob
ably will repeat easily enough
this Syear, hasn't had any snap
maintaining his present winning
streak. That's why he knows that
good breaks have helped a lot along
the way.
Tiger Homers Tell.
In two of his victories he was
Knocked out of the box before De-
troit won. In two other games he
was batted cut and Detroit lost
without his being charged with the
defeat. But the fates were never
with him any more strongly than
last night IN st. Louis.
Newsom pitched a capable game
scattering seven hits and striking
out six. This performance was
shaded. however, by BOB Harris
and Bill Trotter, who held the pow-
ertul Tigers to exactly three hits
The differenHe was simply tssat
two o. Dstroit's HIS were home
runs W Charley Dehringer, and
Hank Greenberg. Thats how VIC
tories are born, sometimes at least.
This one narrowed the gap on the
idle Clevelane indians to two games
Another three-hitter last night
was Hal Schumacher y performance
against the Phillies to give the
New York Giants a TO shutout.
Schumacher Gets Help.
Primes Hal is, anotSr fellow
who knows the value of luak in
baseball. He had run of the
bad kind earlier this year and lost
six games in a hurry during a
period when his teammates gave
him total of only six runs.
Then the Giants started hitting
for Schumacher and he now has
won three in a row. The club sup
ported him with Is safeties last
night.
In the only other action in the
major leagues yesterday the Brook
lyn Dodgers edged out the Chicago
Cubs. Sd, in tight game in which
each team got nine hits. One of
Chicago's was a two-run homer by
Bill Rogell in the eighth, but the
Dodgers clambered back in front
in the last half of the inning to win.
The victory brought Brooklyn
within game of the place
Cincinnati Reds, with the Giants
hot behind.

University of California at Los An
geles, 3 and 2.
Stewart (Skip) Alexander of
