Must Convince Fons .
It's Trying to Build;
Cords Add to Lead
BY JUDsON BAILEY,

Today is the deadline for making
trades in the major leagues without
running the baseball gantlet known
as getting waivers.
Up until now running a gantlet
has been about as easy as making
a deal in the big leagues, but the
David Harums Of the diamond
made couple of restless moves
yesterday that indicated they
haven't overlooked the dae on their
calen.Aar and may do some more
important business today.
The Brooklyn Dodgers have been
trying to peddle Joe Medwick for
several weeks without getting any
satisfactory offers, but If Branch
hickey has made up his mind to
turn loose the one-time great slug
ger OF the National League, this is
the day he might do it.
The club that would be most
likely to take him would be the
New York Giants, f1oundering in
seventh place and desperately in
need of reiEforcements. The Giants
not only need strength on the field,
but they need to convince their fans
that the management is trying to
get talent and this situation might
foster Medwick deal.
Giants Looking for Help.
Yesterday the Giants traded
Outflelder Herbert (Babe) Barna to
the Boston Red Sox for Southpaw
Pitcher Ken Chase. Neither of the
players involved has accomplished
anything notable in the last two
years, but the transaction left the
implication that President Horace
Stoneham hoped to come up with
an outfielder from some other
source.
With Barna gone the Giants have
only three outfielders and Sid Cor
don, combination infielder-out-
fielder.
The Giants also recalled two
pitchers, Hugh East and Rube Fis-
cher, from their Jersey City farm
club in the International League,
replacing them with Ken Trinkle
and Bob Coombs
Another deal made yesterday was
the purchase of Infielder Don Heff-
ner from the ST. Louis Browns by
the Philadelphia Athletics. He will
be used as utility man.
| Only three games were on yester-
days program, but they enabled the
leaders in both leagues to increase
their margins.
The New York Yankees whipped
Washington, Al, and raised their
lead over Washington to three
| games.
Cardinals Add to Lead.
In the National League, the world
champion st. Louis Cardinals
boosted their lead by checking the
Cincinnati Reds, 5-3, with the
Cooper brothers. Mort and Walker,
playing principal roles.
Mort pitched eight-hit ball to gain
his eighth victory against three de-
feats and brother Walker. the
catching member Of the family,
supplied the punch.
The Boston Braves beat the
Brooklyn Dodgers. 4-3, in a twilight
tussle to take their five-game series.
to 2. The defeat dropped the
Dodgers two games back of the
Cardinals.

NEW YORK, June 15.--If you're

Hockett, who continued as the second
leading hitter in the American
League.
Cards Walker Gains Heavily.
Dahlgren's pace slipped slightly
from 367 to 1859, but he was able to
maintain a three point edge over
the fast-rising Harry Walker Of the
st. Louis Cardinals. Little Dixie ex-
tended his consecutive game batting
streak to 81 during the week and
increased his average from .348 to
1856. thereby moving from third to
second in the rankings.
Stan Musial of the Cardinals, who
was the runnerup last week with
1852. skidded to 1888 and fourth place

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 15.-No-
hitters are harder or fans and team
mates than on pitchers, says Johnny
Wander Meer-who should know. He
gained baseball fame by hurting two
such games in five days.
Johnny was recalling those two
consecutive no-hit, no-run victories
today, the fifth anniversary of the
second game.
BY pitching no-hitter June IL,
1888, against Boston and on June Is
against Brooklyn at night, Wander
Nicer, then a 23-year -old Cincinnati
freshman. set major league record
Never before or since has a major
league pitcher elbowed two no.
hitters consecutively, or even in one
season.
Never Worried About Games.
Baseball Immortality. even in the
minds OF the games immortals, fades
quickly and the husky, blond left
handler had no idea it was five years
ago he made the record books.
Its water over the DAM" he
grinned.
Was he harassed by doubts
or fears as the hitless innings
stretched longer and longer?
No, 1 wasn't. Personally, I think
those games were harder on the fans
or the boys on the bench than on
me. You see, figured I had the
second no-hit game in my lap, and
1 figured, What the heck, if they
get hit, what can I do about it?'
And the answer, of course, was
Nothing Besides, I could work off
my nervousness by pitching. The
fans and the rest of the team just
had to sit and take it.
Il know, because in Syracuse one
season I sat on the bench and saw
Whitley Moore going for his second
no-hitter four days after he pitched
the first. They didn't get a hit off
him until the seventh. That was a
scratch, just licked off the fielder's
glove. I thought I'd die"
Used Curves Late in Tilt.
In his own second game, Il re-
! member I didn't use a curve ball
until the sixth inning. For the first
five I used nothing but fast balls,
then the last four I started throw
ing lots of curves"
Johnny hurt his arm in 1910 and
was off form for several months, but
| he did show flash of his freshman
brilliance in tossing a one-hitter
against Philadelphia the next sea
