.Yanks 10 Send
Raschi Against
Mats Tonight
Washington Club Sure
Of Fat Poy Check for
Series in New York
By Burton Hawkins
Stov Stuff correspondent

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-Their
own pennant aspirations having
receded virtually to a point of no
return, the Mats will try to mess
up the Yankees flag hopes start
ing tonight in a three-game series
in which the Washington club will
be concentrating on staying in the
race for a first-division berth.
Involved in a tight tussle with
Chicago and Philadelphia for
fourth place, the Mats will rely on
Walter Masterson in the opener
against the 1eague-leaders tonight.
New York will counter with Vic
Raschi, now Casey Stengel's No. !
man.
This will mark the first time this
season that the Mats have invaded
Yankee Stadium with their pen
nant dreams punctured. They still
could get back in the. fight, OF
course, but the prospects are un-
likely. If the Mats win 20 of their
remaining % games, the Yankees
could tie them merely by taking
IL of their last 81 contests and
that doesn't take into considera-
ton the fact that Cleveland and
Boston are better equipped to
move into first place should the
Yankees falter.
Big Crowds Expected.
Regardless of their behavior in
this series. the Mats figure to take
a sizable check back to Washing
ton. In addition to tonight's game
and a Sunday date. the Mats and
Yankees will battle tomorrow
after a flock of former Yankees
are paraded before the fans. That
attraction figures to boost the
gate.
The Mats have been fortunate
in recent years, benefitting re-
peatedly by New York promotions.
They've been the visiting club on
Lou Gehrig's Day, Babe Ruth Day,
Joe DiMaggio Day. Charley Keller
Day and the Old Timers Day
which was staged last year.
Tomorrow the Mats boss, Clark
Griffith, manager of the 1903 New
York Highlanders, will be honored
with. other members of that club.
The lAll-Time Yankees, with sub
stitutionS in some instances, will
be managed by Griffith in a three
inning game against another col
lection of ex-Yankees who will be
managed by Home Run Baker.

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-The
mystery of the seven National
League clubs passing up Ewell
Blackwell at the $4,000 waiver
price was only partially explained
today as baseball executives gave
their reasons for allowing the for
mer ace of the Cincinnati pitching
staff to go to the Yankees.
"Blackwell's through! He can't
help us.
That was the consensus among
the National League moguls. APP
parently the American League
champions don't agree or they
would never have shelled out some
$4,000 plus four players to get
the 29-year-old Highlander.
Yanks Outbid Two Others.
Conceding that Blackwell is not
the pitcher he once was, he still is
far from finished, in the opinion
of some American Leaguers. For
it was learned that two general
managers, Hank Greenberg of
Cleveland and Frank Lane of the
Chicago White Sox, made over
lures for him, but were outbid by
the Yankees.
The Yankees gave up a pretty
fair pitcher in Southpaw Johnny
Schmitz and three players from
their minor league farms-Out-
fielderS Jim Greengrass, Bob Mar
quiz and Pitcher Ernie Newell.
The champions refused to reveal
the purchase price, but expressed
the belief that Blackwell would
prove as valuable an acquisition
as Johnny Mize, Johnny Hopp and
Johnny Sain. Those three play
|ers were plucked out of the Ma
tional League in the last three sea-
sons near the end Of the race, and
each helped win a pennant in
those years.
If Blackwell, winner Of only
three games against IL losses, and
currently plagued by a sore arm,
should do an about-face with the
Yankees, there are sure to be sew
|eral red faces in the National
League.
Sore Arm Cited.
Explaining why the Brooklyn
Dodgers let Blacky get out of the
league, General Manager E. j.
(Buzzy) Bavasi said:
"We may be wrong, but we
don't think Blackwell has it any
more. Besides, he has a sore arm. y
Other comments:
Fred Saigh, president of the ST.
Louis CardinalS-"We've. got lot
of good young pitchers we think
are much better. We want to GO
with them for a good finish this
year and. principally. for a good
start next year."
Jim Gallagher, business man.
ager of the Chicago Cubs-"1
would suspect that Wild Matthews
(perSonnel manager of the Cubs)
did not believe Blackwell was
worth claiming, based on his rec
ord. He has done nothing all
year. Besides. he's getting a big
salary. If his arm is okay, he
might be OF some help to the
Yankees"
Pitcher Is Jubilant.
John Quinn general manager Of
the Boston Braves-"in conform
Iity with our policy we never dis
cuss waivers publicly"
Branch Hickey. vice president
lof the Pirates. was unavailable but
|another Pittsburgh spokesman
|said: "The Pirates thought Black
well was through"
George Fletcher. publicity di-
rector of the Phillies-"We are
well fortified with right-handed
pitchers right now."
Horace Stoneham, president Of
the New York Giants-"No COM
lment."
Blackwell-"Boy, oh boy, oh
boy"

before September /. Blackwell will
be eligible for the World Series
