Philadelphia August 4 to unite the

among the lightweights for more
than 10 years.
But today something new was
added to the old grudge gag.
Cornelius Mccarthy, who used to
manage Williams. revealed he's been
dropping in on Montgomery'S train

to knock the ears OFT Ike in the
most approved manner.
Connie was Ike'S manager until

London to stiffen Ronnie James.

Mccarthy kept him in a third rate
hotel in London and didn't give
him enough to eat. Comics answer
was that he stayed In the same
hostelry and ate the same food and
if Ike had any complaints to see

Ike said he didn't want Connie
as his manager any more, and Con-

only there was little piece of paper

was on it, They took it to court and

Mats Third Baseman
Rated Phenomenal;
Tigers Moving In
By Burton Hawkins

If no other pleasure befalls the
Mats this season, the development
of young Eddie Yost will remain a
source of satisfaction to Manager
Ossie Bluege, who views his 20-year-
old third baseman's work as ''phe-
nomenal." Yost is eliminating some
Of the sting from a painful year
for his boss.
One of the great third basemen.
Bluege takes particular pride in
Eddie's steadily improving play.
Ossie is Eddie's patient instructor
in pregame drills and of Yost's re-
sponse to his teaching Bluege says,
He's just baby in a baseball sense,
but he has as much grasp of the
game as any youngster who ever
pulled on uniform
Bluege, whose own polished play
at third will remain fond memory
to Washington fans, feels he has a
future star in Yost, who has been
the Mats regular third basemann
for two months. In that time Bluege
has seen enough to warrant a pre-
diction that Eddie will be out
standing.
Improves Steadily at Bat.
'He has more baseball instinct
than anybody on the club" says
Bluege. He'll try for that extra
base when the gamble is good and
he's improving steadily as a hitter.
He has learned to ignore pitches
which were giving him trouble. He
isn't chasing bad balls and he's be-
ginning to give the good pitchers
some headacres. At Cleveland he
got one of our five hits of Don
Black, one of the six hits off Bob
Feller and two of our SIX hits of
Mel Harder.
Those are tough pitchers for a
rookie to stock up against, but Eddie
is getting to be tough boy for the
pitchers to face. He'll get stronger
in the next couple of years and he
should develop as a power hitter.
I think he's the best thing that's
happened to us this season."
Bluege classes Yost as "a real
student of the game" and in that
appraisal is lofty praise for Eddie.
Ever since Yost took over at third
base, Bluege has been tutoring him,
gradually imparting some of the
finesse which made Ossie a marvel
GUS fielder.
Yost Is Apt Pupil.
"His response is amazing" en-
thuses Bluege. He'll make mis-
takes, but he isn't making the same
