OCLEVELAND, April 23-(R
Bob Teller warned American
league pitch-stealers today to
stop calling his throws or half
their clubs will be in the hos
pital."
The 22-year old strikeout king
made it plain he wouldn't toss
any "bean balls"-but that the
result might be serious If an op-
posing batter were looking for
a curve and got q blazing fast
ball which didn't "break" when
it reached his head.
Rapid Roberts thoughts were
focused particularly on the third
base coaching boxes occupied by
those astute baseball observers,
Coach Mule Haas of Chicago and
Manager Del Baker Of Detroit.
Haas told the White Sox what to
expect when they beat Teller on
opening day, 4 to 8, and Baker
frequently called them for the
Tigers last season although Eel
Ter beat the Bengals Saturday,
2 to /.
II always knew they could
tell what I was going to throw
but they didn't try to call them
until last year." Teller observed
as he made ready to face the st.
Louis Browns in this third 194l
start.
II hold my fast ball a little
differently than do my curve,
and l wasn't covering my hand
up enough with my glove" he
said. 1--WE changed that now,
and while the position is little
unnatural I have just as much
stuff.
Haas did a pretty good job
for q while opening day, but
was wild, too, and didn't have
my stuff. Baker called them a lot
last year, but he wasn't doing it
Saturday. I had found the trou-
BILE by then"
Warning Haas and Baker not
to do it again, Teller declared
my pitches are my bread and

added, under no circumstances
should he be released In the Gus
tody of consular officials. The
Attorney Generals office, he
said, would issue the instructions
in such cases.
It was considered likely that
the ruling would produce sharp
reaction in Berlin. German COM
ment was very indignant last
month when two escaped naval
officers were handed back to
Canadian authorities at Clay
ton, N. Y. Berlin officials
charged that this violated inter
national law.
Authorities here, however,
said the case followed normal
immigration procedure. They
pointed but that the two fugi-
tives had surrendered to . u
s. border patrol and requested
admission to the country, where
as Won Werra was not arrested
until after he had entered.
Jackson did not reveal any
details of Won Werra's flight but
it was reported that he left on
a Swiss passport after going ia
the south for q vacation" with
q German consular officer.
From Canada, meanwhile
came indications that the Maxi
aviator had used q ship to e.
cape. Col. Hubert Stethem, di-
rector of interment operations
for the Dominion, said that Can
adian and British authorities
would be prepared Ito send q
destroyer" in an attempt to in
tercept the ship on which Won
Werra was believed en- route
to Peru.
DR.. Hans Borchers, German
consul in New York, asserted
that the last he heard Of the
war aviator. was that he was
living near that city with one
of our boys" Asked about his
disappearance, Borchers replied:
II really can't say"
Won Werra claims to have shot

land last fall. After his release
