VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Of Max Bishop Via Jimmy Dykes
BY FRANCIS STANN

BRADENTON, Fla, Feb 28.-This was
to have been the day Max Frederick Bishop
retired as baseball coach of the Naval Acad-
envy after "a years. Instead he was buried
In his adopted home, Baltimore a victim
of heart ailment.
One of the distant mourners is Jimmy
Dykes, who was the third baseman on those
great Philadelphia Athletics teams to which
Utilize" Bishop contributed so greatly. HE
was wonderful second baseman," Coach
Dykes of the Braves said "And Max was
one OF the best lead-off men I ever saw"
Max Bishop came out of Waynesboro,
Pa, and broke into organized ball with the
Baltimore Orioles of the International
League, no less. Today that would be like
an amateur making the grade in the ma
jors The International was a powerful
league in those days and the ease with
which Babe Ruth, Lefty Grove and others
graduated to the majors proved it.
Good ball players were so plentiful after
World War and in the early '20s that
Bishop spent six years with the Orioles
1t wasn't until he batted 1888 and drove in
100 runs in 1928 that Connie Mack bought
him for his Athletics Six years later, Con-
ME was to perfect the club which many old
timers claim was the greatest of all time,
including the 1927 Yankees.
THESE WERE THE ATHLETICS of
1929-30-31, thrice winners of the American
League pennant and twice victors in the
World Series. Mickey Cochrane was catch
ing such pitchers as Grove, George Earn
shaw, Rube Walberg, Ed Rommel, Howard
Ehnke and Jack Quinn. There was the out
field of AL Simmons, Mule Haas and Bing
Miller, and in the infield there was Jimmy
Foxx at first, Bishop at second, Joe Boley
at short and Dykes at third.
Foxx swung a thunderous bat, but
otherwise the Athletics infield was paled by
the marvellous pitching and long-ball hit
ting. Yet, it was superior defensive in
field, one capable of making the tough
double play and choking off rally with
play above and beyond the ordinary Except
for Foxx the infielders were small (5-8, give
or take q fraction) but Bishop, Boley and
Dykes were mobile.
An oddity in connection with Mack's
infield was that all except Foxx hailed from
the same State-Bishop from Waynesboro,
Boley from Mahanoy City and Dykes from
Philadelphia. Even Foxx virtually came
from next door to his Pennsylvania neigh
bors, which was Sudlersville, Md.
MAX had one of the greatest batting
eyes in the game, Dykes remembered. HE
was like Ted Williams in one respect. If he
didn't swing at pitch the umpires just
assumed that it didn't catch the plate and
called it ball."

Calls Board Indifferent
In brief, Quesada accused the
board and the construction
company of taking too much
time and of overlooking the
necessity of detailed planning
in converting the field from
football to baseball. Pete
seemed grieved that the Red
skins received preferential"
treatment and charged that
the board was guilty of "callous
indifference" to the Senators
plight. He said if it took as
long to make the stadium ready
for football next season the
Redskins wouldn't be able to

Commissioner Walter Tobriner,
who is neutral, had a previous

His Warnings .Unheeded
Quesada, i'm m aculately
groomed and articulate, groused
that three previous warnings
to the board about the condi-
ton Of the playing field had
gone unheeded. A five-page
letter to Kane, plus a lengthy
telegram, resulted in yester-
days session.
Quesada warned that the
field would not be ready for
the opening game with Detroit
April 8, and If not the board
would have to shoulder full
responsibility. If it isn't, he
said, the game might be shifted
to old Griffith Stadium, former
home of the ball club, or even
postponed. The Senators, he
insisted. didn't intend to risk

An international situation
seems to be brewing over a
small plot of grass, or a small
plot where grass should be,
inside D. c. Stadium.
Pete Quesada, president of
the Senators, got his Spanish
up during the 45-minute open
hearing yesterday at the sta

got his Irish up over Quesada s
charges. Lonnie Sciambi and
Frank DeMoss, representing the

got their Italian and French
up. respectively, over aspersions
cast on their company.
The disagreement stems from
the fact that no grass is up
in the stadium.

POMPANO BEACH. Fla.
Feb. 28-The dominant figure
in the Senators camp in the
week devoted to the pitchers
and catchers has been Bob
Schmidt, a big, crew-cut blond
who is g-league in every move
he makes.
The trade of Marty Keough
and Johnny Klippstein to the
Reds for Dave Stenhouse and
Schmidt still carries a condi-
tional agreement because Of
Schmidt's knee operation of
last year. If Schmidt's knee
doesn't hold up, the Reds will
have to furnish another catch
er by April /.
But Schmidt is favoring the
injured knee only to the ex-
tent of taking it easy on the
turns as he runs the bases
He's full speed on the straight
aways, does more than his
share of the catching, is the
take charge guy around the
batting cage, and has to be
chased off the field by Coach
George Susce, the Simon Le-
gree conditioner.
Gets Brushoff from Reds
With the possible exception
of Earl Battey. it has been
years since a Washington ball
club had a catcher with the
potential of Schmidt.
He made the National League
All-Star squad in his rookie
year with the Giants in 1858.
Early in his third season with
the Giants, Schmidt, Don Bias
|ingham and Sherman Jones
were traded to the Reds for
Catcher Ed Bailey.
The Reds gave him the
brushoff last year after he
twisted his knee in a freak
accident. He was in two games
with the Giants before the
trade, q with the Reds before
the injury, and nine with In
dianapolis after an operation.
DR.. George Resta suggested
that Schmidt strengthen his
knee with weights up to 16
pounds, and Bob now is using
the maximum 16-pound weight
daily.
Voice Carries Authority
Schmidt has a rather high
pitched voice for a big guy, but
1T carries authority. If any
hitter tries to get away with
more than the allotted five
swings each time at bat,
Schmidt calls him on it.
Schmidt is an early bird on
the field each day, one of the
last off, and although he is
in good shape his uniform
usually is the wettest.
He volunteers for catching
assignments, and in his turn at
bat he wants everything he hits
to be a base hit. He curses at
foul tips and obviously easy
outs. 1t Is Schmidt who is the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-28

play there until Thanksgiving
Day.
Using a homemade, colored
calendar to illustrate his points,
Quesada flayed the contractor
and the board for dragging
their feet. A string of dates in
yellow indicated a warning
period when he had called at
tention to the pitfalls ahead.
Days with a black background
were "non-productive" and the
red-lettered days, of course,
indicated progress.
The distinction between
working days and total time
elapsed since the end of the
football season obviously repre-
sented a difference in thinking
among the principals. Even
tually, it got the usually. mild
hammered Kane and Quesada
into a fist-thumping exchange
of words during an inspection
tour of the field.
DeMoss' Ire Aroused
The former Air Force general
aroused DeMoss' ire by refer
ring to a broken-down mechan-
ical ditch-digger that caused
some delay. Pete plainly didn t
think much of a company that
allowed such things to happen.
DeMoss labeled his accusation
malicious and a gross exag-
geration."
IF we could foresee such
things we'd be the richest con-
struction company in the
world" Sciambi said.
II don't doubt that you are"
Pete retorted.
Later Sciambi, who was in
direct charge of construction
of the stadium, told Quesada he
missed his calling.
Says Pete Missed Calling
"You should have been a con-
tractor" he said.
Meanwhile, the work of
draining, grading and, eventu-
ally sodding, the field goes pa
tiently ahead. McCloskey's men
said 81 per cent of the field is
ready for whatever the ground
crew wants to do. Two good
days, they insist, and they'll
have their chores completed.
why this room ed Doher-
tvs office we're meeting in
didn't have to be finished I'M
til March Is under our con-
tract" DeMoss pointed out.
Stadium officials are satisfied
with the progress and will make
book that the Senators are "at
home" April 9th, and that
Quesada will be happy.
