Pro Basket Victory

Professional basket balls pre-
carious hold on Washington sports
fans is in danger. In the face of
competition from good collegiate,
high school and amateur versions
of the sport plus the type of pro
game displayed last night at River
side Stadium the play-for- pay boys
are threatened with the loss of even
the slim patronage they now have.
Chris Heurich, jr., sponsor of the
Washington Brewers and one of
Washington's outstanding sports
supporters all down the line, admits
he doesn't know the answer. This
year he supplied the Brewers with
several new faces, a better place
to play and entertainment on the
side and when crowd of more than
5000 turned out a week ago for the
first game he thought he had hit
the right combination.
Attendance Falls on.
But last night the crowd dwindled
to about 1000 and many of them
indicated they wouldn't return
unless better basket ball was in the
omng. There even were expressions
that the amateur preliminary game
between Arlington Macabees and
Jewish Community Center was the
better of the two.
Even the attraction of the Amer
lean League championship outfit,
the Philadelphia Sphas, wasn't
enough to get the crowd excited
The Sphas won, 27-20, overcoming
1915 handicap in the last period
of a game dulled by numerous fouls
by both teams.
Spectators. spoiled by the clean
shooting and fast under-the- basket
work of college and amateur ver-
sions, didn't take kindly to the
rough work of the pros, who find it
too difficult to make a shot from
anywhere near the basket so pre-
valent is the practice of holding
and fouling.
See Percentage in Fouling.
Professional rules give a player
only one shot if fouled while
attempting a basket as against two
shots in other leagues and they
aren't hesitant about trading pos
ible one-pointer for a possible two
pointer any time.
In fact it was foul shots which
won for the Sphas as much as any,
thing else. They were able to make
13 of Is free tosses while the
Brewers conected with only 6 of II.

Warns Fans Hearts
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 8 (N.AN.A).
The baseball news from Atlanta
was interesting mainly to Brooklyn
fans, I suspect, although it must
have given everybody interested in
the game a lift to see it in the
headlines again before the last for
ward pass had been pitched along
the Atlantic seaboard.
mean especially the kind of read
ers I hear from through the fall
months. when the football whirl
is at its giddiest-when all that
seems to matter is who'll beat whom
come next Saturday.
For them the news from At
lanta-and the major league con-
claves looming in Chicago this
week-are as the breath of life
proof that the game to which they
owe first and last allegiance hasn't
been completely buried under the
rush and clatter of the gridiron
titans.
But Brooklyn fans must have got
the biggest kick out of it, at that
for Larry MacPhail stole the show
Larry came up with Mickey Owen,
a colorful addition to an already
colorful team. and hurled all about
him threats and promises of what
the Dodgers would do In l94l.

Hortnett Should Give
Gonts Some Life.

AS I headed west there still was
some slight doubt over the status
of Gabby Hartnett with the Giants,
but if it hasn't already been cleared
up it will be.
This also should be a popular
move. OF all the ball players who
have visited the Polo Grounds in
the last IA years or so few have
come even close to gaining the af-
lection of the New York fans as
Hartnett did.
To the inmates of section 80,
where the Polo Grounds regulars
gather every afternoon, Gabby al
ways was one of "our guys" The
fact that he wore an enemy uni
form couldn't set him apart. He
was as heartily received as any of
the players in white uniforms on
the home side of the field
The part that Gabby will play in
the Giants struggle to reassume
place among the National League
leaders hasn't been determined as
yet. But he will be ready for what
ever Bill Terry wants him to do.
He will be fighting for ball games
and making a stir and a racket. And
the Giants need somebody like him.
for it is characteristic of the
Giants that they 60 through their
ball games wrapped in a deadly
silence.

lozzeri Gets Bock Home
To Finish Career.

The big baseball news out here
Is the signing of Tony Lazzeri to
play second base for the San Fran
cisco club, managed by Lefty
O'Doul. 1t means that Tony has
come home from long years of
wandering on what San Francisco
fans regard as foreign strand.
Tony left these parts away back
In 1926 to take his place as second
baseman of the Yankees 1t is writ
ten in the baseball book that Laz-
zeri was one of the greatest second
basemen the game ever has known.
He was footloose when at last
the Yankees let him CO. He strayed
to Chicago-to Brooklyn-to the
Giants-finally to Toronto, where
he realized, but not too happily, his
ambition to become a manager. Now.
rounding a cycle, he has come back
to San Francisco.
He decided last year in Toronto
that he had worn himself out as a
player. but the sights and sounds
of his native town may cause him
to change his mind. O'Doul OBJ
viously thinks this will be So But
the important thing is that he will
be in a San Francisco uniform.

Mickey Builds His Fire
Bock Of Home PIote.

Owen was late conner to the
ranks of the now widely scattered
Gas House Gang in st. Louis. But
he belonged. Young as he was and
inexperienced, he belonged with the
Deans, Pepper Martin, Joe Med
wick and the rest of that knock
about crew, managed at that time
by Frank Frisch, who had-and
still has-as much color as any of
the players then under his COM
mand
Like a kid who could talk volubly
before he could walk Mickey could
talk like a big Lacquer before he
could catch like one. Even when
the Cardinal dugout was at its
noisiest-and I never popped into
a noisier one-you still could hear
Mickey. When he was tossed into
a ball game he didn't always give a
good performance He hadn't quite
caught up with his own conversa-
tional pace.
But he has learned since then.
He is a real big league catcher now.
He'll handle the Brooklyn pitchers
well and he'll build little fire of
his own back of the plate at Ebbets
Field-or wherever the Dodgers
roam. They'll like him in Brooklyn.
THEY'RE bound to.
