Joe Mccarthy Escapes Election
Despite Umpire's Heove-ho Sian

Bill Mckinley, plate umpire IN
last nights Washington Boston
game, gave the time -honored
heave- no signal to Joe Mccarthy.
Red Sox manager, in a weird
eighth inning but it seems he was
merely exercising his thumb.
Mccarthy, protesting McKinley's
decision which allowed the Mats
Gil Coan to score on Catcher Matt
Bats obstruction. elbowed the
umpire by way of making a point.
In retaliation Mckinley appar-
emily elected him, but that ma
jestic upward swing of the arm
didn't carry the customary mean
ing.
Fans and reporters were amazed
to see Mccarthy remain in the
Boston dugout after McKinley's S
apparent order to leave the prem
ises. Failure to leave the field
after being put out warrants for
feiture of the game.
Mckinley explained after the
game that he was waving Nc
Carthy back to the bench. That
motion will qualify as the most
emphatic invitation of the season.
Mckinley launched the evening
by confusing the customers, as
well as Pitcher Ray Scarborough
and Catcher AL Evans. In the

a ball few feet down the third
base line. Di Maggie, in discard

fair territory. The ball still was
fair by four inches when Evans
retrieved it and fired to first in

decision was foul ball"

Lanier Has Big Night
AS Majors Pitchers
Regain Upper Hand
BY the Associated Press

1t couldn't last forever, this
bludgeoning of big league pitchers
who usually are far ahead of the
batters this early in the baseball
season.
Two members of the f1inging
fraternity last night finally proved
masters of the stickmen who had
been hogging the show from the
outset of the majors campaigns.
While the Mats Ray Scarborough
was tying the Red Sox in knots
with his three-hit performance at
Griffith Stadium, Max Lanier of
the Cardinals threw a four hitter
at the Reds in Cincinnati for a
10 win.
The pardoned Mexican League
jumper was the whole show at
Crosley Field, with Ken Raffens-
berger, who has two 1-hit shut
out victories over st. Louis on his
record, the unfortunate loser. The
Cards veteran southpaw not only
famed seven Reds, but drove in
the lone run of the game with a
double in the ninth inning.
Lanier Gets Timely Hit.
Harry Walker was, on second
base with two out when Lanier
connected, Walker, had been sent
in to run for Steve Bilko, who had
singled. Del Rice's sacrifice ad-
vanced Walker to second. Lanier
delivered after Eddie Miller had
been retired for the second out.
Lanier in winning his first game
of the season was in rare form.
The chunky pitcher allowed only
two hits after the second inning
and walked only two
Off Raffensberger, the Cards
garnered 10 hits and 2 walks as
he went down to his second de-
feat of the season.
The loss was the fifth for the
Reds, who have yet to win a game
in the campaign.
Wild Throw Costly.
Brooklyn defeated the Braves,
Ga, in the National Leagues only
other game, scoring the winning
runs in the seventh inning on a
wild throw by Catcher Del Gran
dali. The youthful catcher threw
the ball into left field attempting
to pick Duke Snider off third.
Both Snider and Carl Furillo
scored on the error.
A home run with one on by
Roy Campanella in the sixth had
sent the Dodgers into a A tie.
Boston's first three runs were
driven in by Bob Elliott's 390-
foot base-clearing double off the
center-f field wall in the third.
Dick Donovan. making his first
start in the majors, was the. loser.
Don Newcombe was credited with
his first victory, although he
needed help from Willard Rams
dell in the ninth. Ramsdell re-
placed Newcombe with two on
base and only one out. He retired
Will Marshall and Elliott to snuff
out the threat.
Rain and wet grounds wiped
out the rest of the major league
schedule.

Boosts His Trading Vae but Puts Gr on Spot
Schnittker, Ohio State Ace,
Among Is Drafted by Caps

The Washington Caps today &C
quired Dick Schnittker. Ohio
States Au-America courtman. as
their top player in the National
Basketball Associations player
draft in Chicago. The selections
of the other teams in the MIA
will be announced in Chicago to-
day.
Coach Bones Mckinney of
the Caps and Bob Foster, general
manager of Uline Arena. an

stars. and to their own sur
prise had succeeded in landing
Schnittker.
The Buckeyes forward. a 2o6-
pound. 6-foot-5 athlete, also was
an end on the Rose Bowl football
team. He was one of the four

ers in the country.
The Caps fourth draft choice
was Tommy O'Keefe. GEORGETOWN
University's Set-shot artist who
set a Georgetown scoring record
in his four years at the Hilltop,
and was a member of the East
squad in the East West game this
year.
The two Negro players chosen

State and Harold Hunter. captain

contracts of Ariel (Ace> Vaughan
and Don Putnam of the st. Louis
Bombers from the NBA, which
took over all the Bomber players
when the St. Louis franchise was
dropped.
The second choice was Bill
Sharman of Southern California
and third was Alan Sawyer of the
University of California.
The only players chosen. except
OKeefe. who have played here are
Warren Cartier. an extremely val
liable sixth man on North Caro-
| lima States Southern Conference

high scoring center from the Uni
verSity of Virginia. Cartier was
sixth choice and Noertker tenth.

out in an effort to snare pitchers
himself and fortify a weak bull
pen.
=. Scarborough has made a hobby
of beating power-packed Boston.
AL zarilla accounted for all Red
Sox hits with a single and two
doubles last night as Ray lifted
his lifetime record against Bos-
ton to 1915, remarkable mark
in view of Boston's customary
first division teams and the Mats
chronic second division outfits.
Papai a Worthy Opponent.
Ray unleashed brilliant effort,
but hanging with him for seven
innings was angular AL Papai,
whom the Mats usually maui.
They weren't betting him last
night, though, for entering the
eighth inning he also owned a
three-hitter. Then the Mats clus-
tered three runs off him without
getting a ball out of the infield.
Papai invited trouble by walking
Scarborough, then $hings hap
pened. Gil Coan dropped a bunt
down the first-base line and both
runners were safe when Billy
Goodman threw wide to second
attempting to force Scarborough.
Sam Dente beat out a bunt
down the third-base line for what
was to be the Mats only hit of
the inning. This filled the bases
and when Johnny Pesky threw
wild past first base on the play,
Scarborough scored. 1rv Noren
struck out and Eddie Robinson
tapped a grounder to Papai, who
trapped Coan between third and
the plate.
On the ensuing rundown Coan
played it smart. He crashed into
Catcher Matt Bats on the base
lines and the Mats had their Sec
ond run due to Bats obstruction
on the rule which reads, "A base
runner shall be entitled to ad-
vance one base if he be prevented
from making a base by the OBJ
struction of a fielder dncluding
catcher)." The Mats practiced
that play repeatedly last year and
Coan didn't forget. s.
Zarilla Equals Odd Record.
On that rundown Dente moved
all the way to third and Sam
scored when Ed Stuart grounded
out to Goodman. Eddie Yost
walked, but AL Kozar took a third
strike.
Scarborough was something to
see. He struck out six, including
Tom Wright. on the three occa-
sions the Louisville rookie stepped
to the plate. Ray allowed only
one hit in the final five innings.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Can you
see a sports event better at home
via television or at the site?
This question and many others
relating to TV and sports we're
batted back and forth at the writ
er's home the other evening. Pres
ent we're some friends who are
paying customers at sports events
and who have television sets, too.
Being in on a pass, I let the
others do most of the talking.
Finally, one of my friends
turned to me and said: "Okay,
you tell us what you think. After
all, you've always got a good seat
at the arenas and you've got a
television set. Which is better?"
I said it depended on the sport
and the location of the seat.
For TV visibility. I rated the
most televised sports in the fol-
lowing order:
/. Boxing and wrestling. Excel
lent.
2. Basketball and football. Very
good.
8. Hockey and baseball. Fair.
There were faults to be found in
the presentation of all of them en-
nv as against being at the scene
where you can do little yelling
But, again. that depended on
where you sat at the arena and
how much you paid for your seat
Graziano- Janiro Bout an Example
Remember. though, it costs you
nothing to watch at home; there
no fighting through crowds and nc
travelling.
Few seats at boxing arena car
compare with a ringside view al
home. The important things you
miss at home you probably won,
see If you're further back thar
the 18th row at the arena.
Take, for an example. the re-
cent battle between Rocky Grazi.

Fans Might Protest
Any Swap Following
.Shutout Of Red Sox
By Burton Hawkins

Ray Scarborough has placed
his boss on the spot. Currently
the most sought-after pitcher in
baseball. with the Yankees and
Red Sox providing the competi-
ton, the Mats occasionally spec
tacular pitcher has Clark Griffith
in predicament, although ad-
mittedly a pleasant one.
With his three-hit, 80 con-
quest of Boston last night before
1928 chilled, thrilled fans at Grit

Griffith in a delightful dilemma
Ray doomed his trading value
immensely, but by the same token
Griffith suddenly might become
a target of abuse from Washing
ton fans if he elected to swap
Ray for anything short of a half
interest in Boston's Fenway Park.
Unused to viewing such splendid
pitching as the North Carolinian
displayed last night. fans would
be mighty reluctant to see him
leave.
Can Play Waiting Game.
Griffith is in a perfect position
to play waiting game. The
trading deadline doesn't expire
until June Is, by which time the
Mats may be more aware of then
prospects. If it's obvious by that
time that they're not going any,
where Griff may be able to un-
load the 32-year-old Scarborough
for batch of young, promising
talent.
On the other hand, if the Mats
upset predictions and maintain
their present pace-they were in a
tie for second place today-Grif- :
