Chattanooga Worst Sufferer
As Epidemic of Free-Scoring
Hits Southern Association

l. Bad spring training weather
which prevented pitchers from get
ting into shape.
2. A week earlier start in the
Southern this year.
3. Poor condition of some ball
parks, causing many balls to go for
hits.
Managers Mystified.
From managers came this COM
ment:
Oscar Roettger of Birmingham:
The pitchers probably are not
ready yet. I know mine are not in
as good shape as they will be later.
The ball also may be livelier."
Ray Blades of New Orleans: "It
appears our pitchers do not have as
good control as they will have later.
Also they aren't familiar with the
hitters yet"
Bert Niehoff of Little Rock:
Maybe it's just one of those freak
things. I don't think the pitching
is that bad and I don't think the
hitting is that good"
In six games, Memphis has made
112 hits and scored 81 runs: Atlanta,
leading the league with 10 wins and
one loss, has scored "a runs and
made 1T hits; Knoxville has tai
lied 80 times on 129 hits in IL games.
while Nashville has lat hits and 106
runs in II games.

zuber Fair Risk
In Relief Role,
Harris Feels
Purchase From Tribe
Can't Hurt Nat Stoff;
Sundro Gets By
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Employing the unflattering figures
of the record book as a gauge, 1t
might appear the Nationals have
picked up another chunk of pitching
rubbish in obtaining Bill Zuber,
wild right-hander. from Cleveland.
Zuber, though, will be the object OF
an interesting experiment which, il
it works, will stimulate the club. II
it doesn't the Mats will be no worse
off than now.
zuber. 26-year-old, towering
specimen purchased for the waiver
price of $500, is known in baseball
circles as chap who can throw a
baseball through a brick wall pro-
viding he can hit the wall He has
speed to spare, but hasn't been
blessed with the ability to utilize his
burning fast ball That's where the
Mats hope to improve him.
1t is the plan of Manager Bucky
Harris to bolster Bills confidence,
which Outfielder Ben Chapman says
was shattered by Oscar Witt last
season. Bucky will have some sug-
gestion to make and, if they click,
Mr.. Zuber should be valuable man
to have around. Until he proves one
thing or another Bill will be re-
stricted to relief roles.
Risk Seems Worth While.
There's sneaking suspicion
among the Mats that Zuber can
conquer control if he sacrifices some
Of his speed. That trick worked
with Ken Chase last season and cur
rently it seems to have helped the
youthful Walter Masterson. If, by
some chance. it should straighten
out Zuber's swift ones the possible
tiles should be unlimited.
Admittedly it is a long shot but
the Mats can't afford to wait for
such as Alexandra CarraSquel, Danny
MacFayden, Arnold Anderson and
Jim Dean to display effectiveness.
They need relief pitching now. If
Zuber doesn't supply it the situation
won't be any more distressing.
They've seen what they have in
action and the sight hasn't been on
the soothing side.
Zuber, in five years of sporadic
pitching for the Indians, shows a
major league record of four games
won and five lost, which would seem
to indicate the fellow must have
known where the corpse was hidden
to remain on the pay roll that long.
The answer is that he must have
shown plenty of promise. which

season when he came up from

First 10 Pitch
7 Victories
Goes Route for Bees
To Beot PhiIs; OFT
Sparkling Giants
BY JUDSON BAILEY.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

This is going to be another come
back year" for many old gaffers
shown little respect for age or service
in the big leagues last season.
Somehow, a handful of these fell
lows find the fountain of youth
every season. Jimmy Wilson, Johnny
Cooney Fred Fitzsimmons and other
prominent veterans hit the trail
last year, and another group ap-
parently is on the right track this
spring.
The only big show pitcher who
has scored two victories in the sea-
sons first week is Wesley Cheek
Ferren, 33-year-old highlander
who was counted out of the Ameri-
can League over year ago and
couldn't make the grade in the
National last season.
The Boston Bees signed him up
during the winter, and he looks as
though he will stick around the
Hub awhile, if only to pitch against
the Phillies. He received credit fol
victory over them last Thursday
by pitching three shutout innings
in relief.
OFT Is Giants Sparkplug.
Yesterday, he went the whole
route against the tail-enders, allow
ing only five hits in an 81 triumph.
Joe Marty, first batter of the game,
hit home run for the lone Phila-
delphia tally.
Mel OFT, who has spent exactly
half of his 80 years playing with the
New York Giants, was supposedly
tottering on aging legs last summer.
His eyes were going bad, too, some
folks said, and he tried wearing
spectacleS at the plate.
But he has hit four home runs
tying with Joe Di Maggie and Bob
Doerr for the major league lead
and sparked his Giants to six vic
tories in seven games to keep them
at the top of the National League
heap.
His fourth homer came during
yesterdays Us triumph over the
Brooklyn Dodgers before big Mon
day turnout of 1910 at the Polo
Grounds. Bump Hadley, who will
be 81 years old in couple of months,
pitched six innings for the winners
and left the game in the lead.
Higbe Again Loser.
The Dodgers subsequently tied the
score, and young John Wittig got
credit for the victory. The Giants
victim for the second time in week
was Kirby Higbe, who beat them five
times for the Phils last year.
Mel Harder, Lefty Gomez and Cy
Blanton are among other veterans
who previously had shown signs of
making comebacks this season.
The rush of the Boston Red SoX
finally was stopped at Washington
yesterday by the lowly Nationals. but
the Sox had won five straight pre-
vlouSly and even in defeat held onto
their American League lead.
The New York Yankees made hash
out of the Philadelphia Athletics
again with 17-hit bombardment
that brought a 14-4 victory. Joe Di
Maggie hit a home run, double and
two singles, and every other bomber
except Pitcher Atley Donald got at
least one safety. Joe Gordon also
accounted for a homer.
Western Clubs Idle.
Donald gave up four runs and five
hits, two of them homers by Frank
Hayes and Wally Moses, in the first
four innings. But he didn't allow
hit in the last five stanzas.
Rain and cold weather put off
contests scheduled for the Western
clubs.

No Favors in Draft
Are 10 Be Sought
By Mats Owner
Misquoted on Subject.
Says Griffith; Cromer
Great Help at Plate

President Clark Griffith of the
Washington baseball club said today
he has no intention of requesting
preferential treatment of baseball
players in connection with their
being drafted for military service.
He has no plan to suggest for de-
ferring players and stands by an
earlier statement that baseball, with
other industries, will contribute its
share toward national defense.
Griffith, who persuaded Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker to pass
up baseball players in the last inter-
national agitation when the Mats
boss convinced him drill sergeant
with each team would prepare ath-
letes for any eventuality, won't try
it again.
i've been mlsquoted on that sub
ject several times" says Griff, "and
1 want to get it straight once and
for all. I have no idea of asking
favors for players. If our boys have
to go then they'll go-that's all
Il do believe, though, that some
of the local draft boards have been
a bit hasty in classifying some
players with dependents in class
Ia"
The cases of Third Baseman
Buddy Lewis and Shortstop Cecil
Travis, both recently classified IA,
naturally will be appealed through
the regular channel Loss of either
or both of those players would Grip
pie the Mats, but if their appeals
are refused Griffith won't make a
plea for leniency.
First Baseman George Archie OBJ
tanned two hits yesterday against
the Red Sox, but his best blow
merely was the medium for Center
Fielder Dominic Di Maggio's daily
dazzling catch. Dom hustled back
to the center field barrier for a
fine snatch of Archie'S mighty drive
in the second inning.
At his current pace of 10 runs
batted in for the Mats first seven
games, Doc Cramer would swat in
Evening star., 1941-04-22

some 210 runs this season. Cramer
didn't bat in 10 runs until about
June Is last season and propelled
only 81 mates across the plate in
the entire campaign. Travis, not
noted as a run producer, is second to
Cramer with seven r. B. I.
The most delightful part about it
to Cramer is the fact every run
he has batted in has been against
the Red Sox, his former mates.
Ben Chapman is hoping ell@haVe
the same sort of streak against his
ex-chums, the irritable Indians. Is
anybody complaining, incidentally,
about that Joe Krakauskas-for-
Chapman deal?
Steve Sundra's next pitching as
signment will give him an oppor-
tunity to reap revenge on the
Yankees for letting him go. He'll
face them at New York on Saturday,
with Sid Hudson the choice for
Friday. B. H.

ATLANTA, April 22.-Southerr
Association pitchers are toiling end
sweating these days to stem an early
season run making epidemic-one OF
the worst in the circuit in years.
In 40 games played to date, the
loops hurlers have been shellacked
for 862 hits, and 582 runs have
crossed the plates.
With the exception of Little Rock
all teams in the eight-club league
have been involved in the unusual
high scoring.
Chattanooga, however, is far in
the lead. Their pitchers have been
pounded for 1T hits in IL games,
and opponents scored 135 runs
against the fan-owned club. The
II games produced total of 31S
hits and 232 runs.
Hudlin Hurls Best Game.
Several managers seem to think
the hard beset hurlers just aren't
ready, but soon will round into form.
Lending color to the poor con-
dition" argument is the fact that
few pitchers have finished a game.
Twenty-three saw service one day in
four games Willis Hudlin, major
league veteran, has the record with
a seven Inning no hitter Sunday for
Little Rock.
