National League season. The ro-
tund catcher of the club that plays /
the Mats In Washington tomorrow

right now.
Campanella hit two singles and
two doubles in four trips yester-

night with Joe Hatten and

uled to twirl against the Orioles.
ATLANTA, Ga.-Big Jim HearnI
Of the Giants, whose Springtime
pitching has left much to be de-
sired, gets a chance to redeem
himself today against the hard
hitting Indians.
The right-hander has been hit
so hard In exhibition games that
rumors persist a few more thump-
ings may cost him his place as a
starting pitcher. His opponent to-
day will be Bob Feller.
Roy Weatherly, reserve out
fielder, yesterday was sold outright
to the Giants Minneapolis farm.
He won't report to the American
Association club until May /. His
jaw was fractured by line drive
at st. Petersburg, Fla, March Is
and he is recuperating at his
Cleveland home.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The Braves
and Yankees will conclude their
three-game travelling series here
today with Right-hander Vern
Bickford listed to pitch for the
National Leaguers against the
world champions.
The Yanks won yesterday, 80.
Johnny Sain gave UP two runs,
the only earned scores he has per-
mitted this spring while pitching
80 innings against big league COM
petition.
Bickford Is the most recent no.
hit pitcher of the majors, feat
he accomplished last season
against the Dodgers.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind.-Manager ,
Eddie Sawyer is doing something
about the sloppy showing of his !
Phillies in four exhibition games ,
with the Pirates.
Sawyer ordered his men to go
straight to the ball park here for
q long practice drill. !
The Phillies and the Pirates to- !
day play the fifth of a scheduled |
six-game series.

have been played in Knoxville,
Tenn. was Cancelled because Of k
wet grounds. s
HOUSTON, Tex.-Little Tommy
Glaviano moved into the Cardinals
outfield as part of Manager Marty
Marion's experiment on shifting
players-but he didn't stay there
long.
In the second inning of a game
with the Browns last night he
crashed into the wall catching
fly. In a hospital he was re-
ported suffering from a badly
bruised right shoulder.
Ironically, a reporter had asked
him in the club house prior to
the game: How are you on
charging the walls?"
LYNCHBURG, va.-Manager
Luke Sewell of Cincinnati says
he will not name his starting line
up for the seasons opener against
Pittsburgh Monday until late this
week.
One thing is sure, however.
Sewen repeated - Ewell (Bull-
whip Blackwell is going to pitch
for the Reds in the inaugural if
he proves ready.
Otherwise, the honor will go to
Howie Fox, who is shaping up as
the Redleg's No. 2 hurler. Fox
has looked good every time OUT
this spring.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind.-Little
Murry Dickson will start on the
mound for the Pirates today

tween the two clubs. Each club
