FOrkbal Makes Bonham Yankee Big Boy
St0r Sleeps
On Board to
Correct His
Back Injury
BY HARRY GRAYSON
(NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, June IA forkbal
made Ernest Eswar0 Bonham the
best pitcher in baseball.
He was pretty raSt and had good
control when Scout Joe Devine first
saw him pitching for a lumber
camp team at lone, in northern
California, in 1885.
Frank Makosky, out Of the Lack
awanna league in the middle Jer-
seys, taught Ernie Bonham the fork
ball while the pair were with Kan
sas City. Makosky once had trial
with the Yankees.
Tiny Bonham holds the forkball
between the first and second fin
gers of his tremendous right hand,
rears back with the same motion
with which he propels his fast ball,
and lets 'er fly. Regardless Of
whether the batter anticipates a
swift one, he Is baffled as the fork
ball shimmies and then drops dead.
AIMS AT COOMBS'
SHUTOUT RECORD
Going into his seventh start for
the New Yorks this trip, Bonham
had won six in a row.
He had four shutouts and Is aim
ing at the American league record
Of 10, compiled by the immortal
Jack Coombs with the Athletics in
1910.
This Is the first spring that Bon
ham has obtained a flying start.
A recurrence Of an old back in
jury suffered last spring retarded
him until June of last year.
Bonham comes roaring down the
stretch. He first attracted attention
wide attention when he reported
from Kansas City in time to win
nine games for the Yankees in their
late drive Of 1910.
He let Brooklyn down with five
hits in the world series clincher
last october. It was the best
pitched game of the fall show.
JUGGLES IRON ONE TO
MAKE BALL FEEL LIGHT
Bonham incurred MS back injury
as a youngster working in a lumber
camp.
1t wasn't corrected until Johns
Hopkins medicos had him sleep on
a board for two years.
Bonham juggles a f1ve-pound iron
ball before he pitches and between
Innings. He does this on the same
theory that batter swings several
bats. 1t makes the baseball feel
light.
Bonham is so big and barrel
chested that while he was with
Kansas City, q wrestling town, he
frequently was mistaken for one of
the savage behemoths.
Tiny Bonham stands 6 feet 2 and
weighs 215 pounds, but that isn't
why he Is now the Yankee Big Boy.
Pitching ability and sense has
enabled him to replace the aging
Red Rufing as top man Of the
world champions staff.

self.
Babe Dahlgren can't understand
his sale by the Cubs to the Browns.
He batted in 80 runs for the Chi
Cages in 1941. Jimmy Gallagher
gave him a raise.
The Braves got Dahlghen to re-
place Buddy Hassett. The Yankees
sold him because he wouldn't do,
and now Hassett has his job with
the world champions. The Bostons
sold him to the Cubs, although they
had no one to take his place.
Dahlgren has been buffeted about
from the outset. He was purchased
by the affluent Red Sox following
three fine years in the IA Pacific
Coast League and another whopper
in the Arizona Texas.
Everything was lovely and Dahl
gren satisfactory until Thomas
Austin Yawkey paid $4,000 for
James Emory FoxX in 1896.
That sent Dahlgren to Syracuse,
where he drove in 121 runs in bat
ting. 318 to wind up in the Yankee
chain as a possible replacement for
the lamented Lou Gehrig. He batted
$40 as the Yankees Newark farm
clubs first and third baseman IN
1887 to clinch utility role with
the parent organization.
He shared in two world series,
first based the New Yorks to the
world championship in 80. when
he swatted in 80 runs.
Not a few competent judges COM
pared his fielding to that of George
Harold Sisler and Hal Chase, de-
spite the fact that he lacked the
physical advantage left-hander
has at first base. With him, the
Yankee infield became renowned
for acrobatics. It was next to I'M
possible to hit q ball through 1t.
Joe Mccarthy was mildly criti-
cized for letting Dahlgren go in the
spring of Al, after he had i'm.
proved his batting average 20 points
to .264 in 40.
Mccarthy said Dahlgren's arms
were too short for a first baseman,
that he made ordinary plays look
spectacular.
Dahlgren had four Of the biggest
Braves raise their arms. His were
not a half-inch shorter.
''For some reason, Jimmy Wilson
suddenly soured on me in spring
training" explains Dahlgren. when
