NEW YORK, April 2s.-Com-
missioner Chandler may have
to take time off from the more
ponderous problems of baseball
to decide the case of a mechan-
ical pitcher with a reported sore
arm.
The contraption was bought
by Frank Lane, general man
ager of the Chicago White Sox,
one night in Los Angeles during
the training period from Roy
Hamey, the Pirates front-office
boss.
Chambers decision, if avail
able. on what is a pitch will de-
eide the case. A sum of $1,000
is at stake.
Here's how it all came about:
At a baseball gathering in
Los Angeles one night this
spring, Hamey approached Lane
and asked him if he would like
to buy a pitcher for $1,000.
Lane replied that he would
any kind of pitcher.
"All right" said Hamey,

wait a minute" Lane hedged,
"does it pitch?"
1T pitches" Hamey affirmed.
"Okay," Lane said, conclud-
ing the deal. Ship it to
Comiskey Park"
There can be no doubt that
the White Sox boss purchased
the contraption, nor does Lane
deny it. But he claims now
that he was rocked by the fast
talking Hamey, and he refuses
to pay.
THE thing has a bad arm"
he declares grimly. "A base
ball man expects to get foxed
now and then on q regular
pitcher, but when a man like
Hamey tries to slip me an iron
mike with a sore fiipper it's a
a little too much. Well let the
commissioner decide it."
Lane was reminded that
Hamey. under pressure, had said
only that the thing would
"pitch"-he didn't say how good.
"All right" Lane said, well

Puddin head Jones'
Still Thorn
In Side Of Dodgers
By Jack Hand
Assoeioted Press Sports Writer

Put Willie (Puddin head Jones
in Brooklyn and he makes like
Stan Musial. The Phillies' third
baseman just loves that Dodger
pitching.
Puddin' is on cozy terms
with pitchers of all varieties this
spring. So far he's hitting AIT
with three homers and a league
leading total of II runs batted in.
He has a nine-game hitting
streak, including one tie game.
Brooklyn. though, is his happy
hunting ground. Jones wrecks
the Dodgers at Ebbets Field just
like Musial. Last year, his first
full season in the big time, the
kid from Laurel Hill, N. c., batted
only .244. Yet he hit 1888 at
Brooklyn. No visitors, except Mu-
sial. bettered his four homers in
Flatbush.
Nearly Cost 'em Pennant.
When the Dodgers came to
Philadelphia last season to clinch
the pennant, Puddin head almost
knocked them out of the World
Series. He homered off Preacher
Roe October l and hit another off
Don Newcombe in the final game
before the Brooks put over the
clincher in the 10th inning.
Now it's the same story all over
again. All three of his homers
came off Brooklyn pitching. Yes
terday he ripped into Roe for a
grand slammer in the first inning.
The Preacher never got the side
out as the Phils scored five en-
route to an easy 90 romp.
Robin Roberts, the bonus baby"
from Michigan State, checked the
onrushing Dodgers with eight hits.
1t was Brooklyn's second loss. both
to Roberts, smashing a six-game
win streak. Last year Robin
never beat the Brooks.
After losing six of nine starts to
their old teammate. Murray Dick
son, the Cardinals turned on him
last night to trim Pittsburgh. So.
Ever since the Cards sold Dickson
to the Pirates for $125, 900 early
in 1949. he has been in their hair.
This time they combed him out
with a four-run blast in the fifth
in the Pirates first home night
game.
Musial's Knee injured.
Red Munger, beaten by Pitts
burgh in his first appearance,
lasted the route, allowing six hits.
1t was the Pirates first defeat
since opening day, swapping a
five-game win streak.
The game cost the Cards the
services of Stan Musial for at least
two days. Musial. boosting his
average to .448 with two hits,
sprained his knee when he tumbled
rounding first base in the eighth.

ODoul gave Steve a lift. He told
Macy to take his time getting in
