New York, Aug. 15-(UP)-Just
this time every year when the major
league baseball races go into the
homestretch, diamond addicts begin
to beat the drums for individual
candidates to win the most valuable
player awards in each league and
this season, there isn't q club in
either circuit that hasn't promis-
ing nominee.
In the American, three teams -
Cleveland, Detroit and Boston -
seem likely to have a possible IN. v.
p" on their roster, while In the Ma
tional, Cincinnati, Brooklyn and
New York, have the edge In pros
poets.
A brief check-over presents the
following standouts:
American League
Cleveland: Too much cannot be
said for Bobby Teller, first 20-game
winner in either league this year
and potent losing streak buster. Kid
infielders Lou Boudreau and Ray
Mack have solidifled the infield.
Detroit: Close. Pitcher Bucky
Newsom, Outfielders Hank Green
berg and Barney McCosky all have
chance. Newsom has held the
pitching staff together while Green
berg and McCosky are the Leading
hitters on the club.
Boston: Jimmy Foxx with Lou
Finney as his nearest competitor.
Chicago: If Manager Jim my
Dykes wasn't an active player in
name only, he'd win this one hands
down. Otherwise Taft Wright or
Joe Kuhel.
New York: Joe DiMaggio, last
year. this year and several more to
come.
Philadelphia: Frankie Hayes top
notch catching and hitting, or may
be even Johnny Babich for an in
spring comeback.
st. Louis: Rip Radcliff;s big bat
nails down the award claim here,
with Wally Judnich and Harland
Gift as runrers-up.
washington: A photo" with
Dutch Leonard, Gerald Walker and
0uuuy LEWIS measuring noses.
National League
Cincinnati: 1t was Bucky Wal.
tiers last year and will be again I'm.
less Paul Derringer wins more
games.
Brooklyn: A sentimental vote for
Fred Fitzsimmons Strictly on the
averages, Whit Wyatt, Dixie Walker
or rookie marvel Peewee Reese.
New York; No one but Harry
banning.
Pittsburgh: Rookie Frank Gus
tine hogs most Of the spotlight but
you can count on the Waner
brothers when the going gets close.
Boston: Eddie Miller for his de-
fensive strength and Max West or
"Citronella" Rowell on offense.
Chicago: Outfielders Hank Lei
Der and Bill Nicholson.
Philadelphia: Walter Higbe.
st. Louis: Johnny Mize hits 'em
hard and far.

Yankees To Make
Outfielder OF
Pitcher Spec Shea?

Naugatuck, Aug. 15.-Frank Shea,
Jr., has chalked up another victory
for the Amsterdam, N. Y, club In
the Canadian-American league, de-
feating Oswego 8 to 3, allowing only
hits and tanning 8.
Shea got 2 hits himself as he net
ted his eighth pitching win against
one defeat.
The local youth recently against
Rome, N. Y, relieved his teammate
Smith and held the game safe for
Amsterdam. In this game Shea hit
the baseball Jackpot, getting a
home run with the bases loaded.
Yankee farm heads are seriously
considering governing Shea into an
outfielder to take full advantage
of his quick hitting. He has aver
age of nearly 400 at Asterdam, in
GLIDING many doubles and triples.
Indications are that the ex-N. H.
S. star will be with Newark next
season. He is already slated to go
south in the spring with the New
York Yankees.

RS2y4gs;;|a BOARD
Yearings Bring Good Prices at Saratoga, But Grand
son of Man O. War Goes for $50, and May
Beat Costly Juveniles Next Year

Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane paid
$4,000 for q brown colt by Imp
Sickle out of Friendly Gal, she by
Imp. Sir Gallahad III, at the Sara
toga yearling sales.
Mr.. and Mrs Harry w. Lunger of
Wilmington gave $4,000 for British
bred chestnut son OF Hyperion out
of Gwyniad.
Substantial sums have been paid
for many other babies in the Fasig-
Upton ring this season, but it will
be more interesting to watch the
development of a bay colt picked
UP by Thomas B. Cromwell of Lex
ing.on, KY, for $50, the lowest price
in many years.
Cromwell, acting for an Iowa
owner, was prepared to go a lot
higher for the son of BoatSwain Che
by Man o. War; out of Drift Away,
she by Imp. Star of Gold, but no
body else spoke up and the horse
went for the original bid.
cromwell understood what he was
doing. 1t appears that the grandson
of Man o. War wasn't fattened up
for the auction. Asked what was
wrong with the colt that he sold so
cheaply, Cromwell, who founded
The Blood Horse magazine at Lex
ington, replied: Nothing that lit
tie feeding won't fix
The bargain basement youngster
was sent to the Spa by DR.. E. R.
Plunkett, a Lexington dentist, who
raises yearlings in the Bluegrass.
Looks to me like he roamed over
the hills was not properly pre-
pared for the sales" commented
Cromwell, who processes to be GER
tain that the baby will turn out
well.
Only a few weeks ago Cromwell
sold Boatswain to Ramon F. Cru
Sellas, a Cuban breeder.
Boatswain is the first son OF Man
O War to go into the breeding in
dustry on the island.
An equine bargain would be Moth
ing new to Cromwell. With John s.
Virgins and C. C. VanMeter, he
purchased the real bargain of last
years sales at the Springs-Blue
Pair, winner of seven races, includ-
ing the $1O,OOO-added Mayflower
stakes at Suffolk Downs. Blue Pair,
which has earned upwards of $23,-
600, cost 5000.
So when the leading 2-year-olds
come charging down the stretch in
an important stake next summer,
don't be surprised if the colt on top
is the grandson of Man O. War
which Thomas B. Cromwell
acquired for a mere $50.
The buying of yearlings is the
turf's biggest gamble.
