as he batted in all last season.
Apparently he was headed for
his finest year after batting a
mere .205 last year, but his third
major injury in four years is
likely to keep him inactive un-
til mid-June.
(Reports from North Caro-
lima said Coan would fly to
Washington today for an
examination by DR.. George
Resta. team physician. How
ever. DR.. Resta said he did not
expect Coan to come. He
talked with Gil yesterday and
told him to go home and rest
and then come up in about a
week.
"As I understand it," DR..
Resta said, "it is not a severe
fracture. He broke the small
end of the fibula. It takes
four to six weeks of rest to
cure it.") .s

seeing little service this spring,
will be Coan's replacement in
leftfield. Harris will convert
Inf1elder Hoderlein into an OUT
fielder If the Mats can't swing
a deal.
The Mats previously had been
seeking an outfielder and were
eying the Indians Jim Lemon
enviously. Now they intend to
intensity their efforts, but their
prospects of obtaining a suitable
replacement aren't rosy.
Jensen Narrowly Escapes.
Although Coan's loss is serious,
the club nevertheless may count
its blessings because Jensen mar
rowly escaped injury earlier in
yesterdays game.
Jensen, streaking home from
third base after Bob Oldis sent
a short fly to rightf1eld in the
second inning, discovered his
path blocked by Catcher Hank
Foiles of the Redlegs. Jensen
crashed into him head-on, both
players went down heavily and
flOpped on their backs.
The seml-conScious Jensen
reached out with his hand to
touch the plate before passing
out. Foiles was knocked colder
than an ice cube. MiraculousJy.
neither of the Sturdy players was
seriously hurt and both remained
in the game.
Coan's loss is particularly
ironical. In Greenwood, S. c.,
Friday, Gil asked Harris If he
could have two days off to visit
his family at Brevard. N. C.
Harris granted Coan a one-day
vacation, ordering him to return
to duty at Charlotte after CIV
ing Gil permission to miss Sat-
urday's game at Columbia. S. c.
Harris was fearful a two-day
layoff would get Gil of stride,
and that concern has cost him
Coan's services for a long time.
"Coan won't be able to play
for two months" said Doc Lentz.

take another two weeks after the
cast is removed before he'll be

Rover Acts 10 Avoid
Long Waits in Jail
For Sanity Hearing

United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover said yesterday that, in the
future, his Office will be immedi-
ately informed if there is any
question of a defendants sanity.
The new procedure is aimed
to help avert cases similar to a
recent one in which a man who
pleaded guilty to narcotics con-
spiracy was held unsentenced for
nine months until he was found
insane at a lunacy hearing.
The man, Leroy Barbour,
pleaded guilty last December /.
Sentence was deferred pending
probation report.
Reported Mentally Sick.
But the probation officer re-
ported to the court that he felt
the defendant was mentally sick
and unable to cooperate in
proper investigation of his case,
Mr.. Rover said yesterday.
Under court regulations,
adopted about that time, it was
held that defense counsel must
present a prima facie case of a
defendants insanity before the
Government would shoulder the
expense of a mental examina-
tiOn.
Family Unc0- Operative.
According to Mr.. Rover, Attor-
ney Sol Lichtenberg, defense
counsel at the time, was unable
to get any cooperation from
Barbour's family in efforts to
present a prima facie case of
insanity.
Finally, the United States At
torney's Office, with the acqui-
escence of Chief Judge Bolitha
J. Laws Of the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia, took steps that led to Bar
bour's sanity hearing last Thurs
day.
Barbour is still in District jail
awaiting admission to st. Eliz-
abeths. At one time during his
incarceration, he attempted sui
eide by slashing his wrists.

Erskine Reveals
Meditation Helped
Strike Out Yonks
BY the Assoeioted Press

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Dec. 10
Carl Erskine of the Brooklyn
Dodgers says a few moments
meditation before the game
helped him strike out IA Yankees
in one game in the 1853 World
Series.
He calls it his inside pitch"
The IA strikeouts were a series
record.
Speaking last night at a high
school football banquet Spon-
sored by the Kiwanis Club,
Erskine said he pauses to medi-
tate before each game to pre-
pare himself with positive
thinking"
There is more to athletics
than just physical performance, "
Erskine said. THE difference be-
tween players is that some have
developed the ability to master
themselves mentally and instill
confidence in their teammates,
while others have not"
He said the inspiration for his
inside pitch" came from Branch
Hickey. former general manager
for the Dodgers, and DR.. Norman

Sandy Consuegra and Mike

The White Sox stole 73 bases

Vernons Second Title Year More Productive Records Show
Rosen Leads Hitters
In 4 Departments;
Mickey Second in A

Mickey Vernon. the Senators
mild-mannered first baseman
who led the American League in
batting this year for the second
time. had a far more productive
season than when he topped the
league with a 1853 average in
1916, it has been confirmed by
batting records just released.
Vernon's 1897 batting mark
brought him the batting cham
pionShip by point over Cleve-
lands Al Rosen and, as in 1916,
Mickey paced the league in dou-
bles. Vernon hit 43 doubles this
year.
Mickey's batting average last
season was Is points lower than
in 1916 and he slammed eight
fewer doubles, but he delivered
three more triples. seven more
home runs, scored IL more runs
and batted in 80 more than in
his only other 300 year.
When Vernon graduates to the
300 ranks he does job of it..
Last season he was second in hits
with 205 to 209 for Harvey
Kuenn of the Tigers. Mickey
was second in runs batted in
with lis to Rosen's 145. He was
second in total bases with 315 to
Rosen's 367. And Mickey was
second in triples with II to Is
for Jim Rivera of the White Sox.
YOSt Second in Runs.
Eddie Yost, WaShington'S walk
ing man, was second in runs
scored, tallying lot times to
Rosen's lis. Vernon ranked
fifth in that phase with 101 runs.
Rosen, unanimously voted the
leagues most valuable player by
a committee of "a members of
the Baseball Writer'S Associa-
ton, led in home runs with 43
runs batted in, total bases and
runs. The Indians third base
man carried Vernon to the final
dav in a stirring bid for the bat
ting crown.
jim Piersall of the Red Sox
made the most sacrifices, 10, and
Kuenn set an American League
record by batting 679 times. The
former mark of GIL was set by
Johnny Tobin of st. Louis in
1921.
White SOx Top StealerS.
For the second straight sea-
son the White SoX's Minnie
Minoso and Rivera ran one-two
in stolen bases and in being
thrown out attempting to steal.
Minoso stole IS bases and was
tagged 16 times, while Rivera
stole % bases and was thrown
out Is times.
Ten players batted 300 or bet
ter among those who went to bat
at least 400 times. The Senators
grabbed two of those spots, with
Jim Busby batting .312 to fin
ish fifth.
The Yankees led in team bat
ting with a .273 mark, while
Cleveland blasted 160 home runs,
81 more than the Senators, who
finished in their customary last

Landy's Race Spoiled
By 1O1-Degree Heat
BY the Associated Press

MELBOURNE, oAustralia, Dec.
ia broiling sun of 101-degree

chances for a four minute mile

of the elusive target for several

Landy, who last week ran the

could do no better than 4:16.2
in today's meet, turning on his
vaunted speed only in a 60.8
seconds final quarter.
II could have run faster" he
said, "but what was the use.
You can take only so much
weather like that. was not
going to kill myself and just
went for the run"
Now the 23-year-old veterin-
ary student will have no races
until the preliminaries leading
to the national championships
IN SyQney IN F'ebruary.
Whether he can reach the
four minute goal or Gunder
Haegg's world record of 4:O1.4
then is problematical. He has
said several times that he great
ly prefers the Olympic Park
track and also the climate here.
Than. too, February-similar to
August in the United States
could well be just as hot as it
was today.

teStant in an earlier six-mile
race dropped out after three
miles.
