trolling the sports beat:
Pity the poor American League
pitcher who starts serving them up
to the National League huskies in
that all-Star shindig at Connie
Mack's Philadelphia ball orchard
next Tuesday. If he's a right
handler. he'll be facing bunch of
guys with a combined batting av-
erage of .207 If he's southpaW.
things will be almost as bad, with
switches lowering the team clubbing
percentage to a Still-rugged 292.
Mort Cooper of ST Louis. with q
9-5 hill record, is expected to open
festivities for the senior circuit.
Brother Walker probably will be
back of the plate, because of the
injury to the Dodgers Mickey Owen
in the holiday twin bill with the
Cubs.
LINEUP GIVEN
A right-handed American League
pitcher probably will be looking at
this lineup, according to National
League officials: ID. Frank MCCor-
mick, Reds, .320; 2b. Lonnie Frey,
Reds, .316: SIS, Stats Marion, Cards,
28l 3b, Stan Hack. Cubs, 800: out
field. Stan Musial, Cards, .324. Har-
ry Walker, Cards, .283, and Mel OFT,
Giants, 25l.
A southpaW'S version probably
would have Billy Herman. Dodgers,
2b, .324; Whitley KuroWsky. Cards,
3b. .296, and the outfielders Vince
DiMaggio, Pirates, .248, Dixie Walk
er, Dodgers, .272, and Augie Galan,
Dodgers, .296.
Announcement that Ace Adams
of the Giants has been named the
National League batting practice
pitcher-ineligible for the game
accentuate the facts that he's still
the same steady. reliable workman
Ace set modern record by pitch
ing in 66 games last season and now
is en- route to new mark with "a
appearances and the season only
half over.
Early tennis tournaments have
been dominated by the pigeon-toed
little good neighbor from Ecuador,
Panch Segura, leading the net ex-
perts to predict that he'll be the
next national amateur king. Pancho,
of the tWo-handed grip, will be in
top form for the festivities at For

rank ahead of him-Eed Schroeder,
frankie Parker and Gardner Mul-
loy-are in service and play only

SAN FRANCISCO, july Z. tUP)-
That wolf at the front door of the
San Francisco Seals finally per-
formed a good deed-albeit un-
knowingly.
The wolf, otherwise known as
certain San Francisco bank, gave
President Charley Graham of the
Seals such scare that Uncle Char
lev risked the ire of the city's faith
full baseball fans by selling George
Michael Metkovich, brilliant young
outfielder, to the Boston Red Sox
for reported $4,000 and one play

Charley as he ordered one bottle
of black ink and whispered comfort
ing words to Manager Frank Lefty
ODoul, VINO had just watched half
his ball club disappear.
Its the first time in Is years
I've sold a player in midseason,
Uncle Charley declared And l
wouldn't have except for financial
difficulties. l know it isn't fair to
San Francisco fans to sell their
best player, but l had no other al
tentative.
SALE TO HELP
/ want to keep the club, and Met
kovich'S sale will help immensely.
The Red SOx will send us Dee Miles,
VINO is a pretty fair outfielder and
should help us lot
Although there was much gnash-
ing of teeth in various pubs south
o the slot" last night, most Seal
fans agreed that Uncle Charley was
in tough spot and was only doing
his best to keep the club out of the
hands of the bankers.
Additionally, if Graham had not
sold Metkovich by Sept. l, the 23-
year old, rangy slugger would have
been eligible for the major league
draft at the bargain price of $500
and George is IA in Uncle Sam
draft, SO the Seals might have lost
him before the Coast league race
was dead and done for-as if it
isn't done for right now with Los
Angeles SO far ahead the other clubs
are thinking of suing Bill SWeen-
ey's Seraphs for heart balm.
TRIES FAST ONE
Uncle Charley, one of the smart
est men in the game, tried to pull
tasty on Owner Tom Yawkey of
the Red Sox by first asserting that
he would let Metkovich go for
certain sum plus a loan from the
Red SoX covering the balance of
the mortgage due on the San Fran
cisco baseball club.
Yawkey, who learned the hard
way a number OF years ago when he
tried to buy the American league
pennant, said no soap but did offer
TO throw in more cash for Metko-
vich.
All in all, Uncle Charley did quite
well by himself. He got Metkovich
from the Boston Braves for $4,000
before the season opened. One of
those strange baseball laws pre-
vented the Braves from buying
George back after he became a SEN
sation with the Seals.
