Only because Manager Shotton de-

Newk denied the satisfaction OF

Reich poled a homer off the tower

For all hands concerned, 1 think
it is time that remarks to the press
of the above nature concerning
Newcombe be withheld.

to whip up greater urge and ambi.

HOPE NO FURILLO-COMPLEX

Shotton, the other day, minced no
words in telling newsmen how he
felt about Carl Furillos request that
the Brooklyn pilot lift him (F'urillo)
when righthanders are on the
mound. Here we have a young man
blessed with a "garling-gun" for a
throwing arm,-one of baseball S
finest. Shotton was furious over
Furillo's lack of ambition to master
hitting defects that If successfully
overcome, would make him one Of
the highest paid players in the
game. Does Burt Shotton mean to
imply by his lazy" statement OF
Newcombe that the giant pitcher is
more on the Hank Behrman play
boy order than chap who might
equal Raschis record If he'd but
work at his job more???
OPPOSED BRINGING NEWK UP
Just before big boss Branch Rick
ey pulled Newcombe away o m
Montreal, Shotton had gone on rec
ord about Newcombe in this way:
ta) He told the press that he did
not want Newcombe to make it any
harder that it had been for Campo
uella and Robby. OF course he fear.
ed other things then than pure-d.
laZiness.
CO. That he, Shotton, was not so
sure about Newk having a sore arm
clubbing over whether the ex-New-
ark Eagles ace pitcher was of major
league calibre.
that Newcombe is a first-class pit
Now the whole league realizes
cher whose potentialities give a
manager hope of his being a 2O-game
winner in a season or two.
There are few pitchers in baseball
right now who impress me more
than does Newcombe in top form.
For freshman big Lacquer he made
the much sought after "All Star"
game assignment. What a blazing
ball and a wide assortment Of hooks
and sliders Newcombe had.
The greatest natural hitter in
baseball since Joe Jackson and
Rogers Hornsby, 1 mean Boston
Red Sox' Ted Williams, thought
Newcombe as fast as Bob Teller in
his prime. The daily press gave
Newk lots of choice notices the day
following this premier game.
