100000 for Ruth and they've also agreed

ALTHOUGH RUTH'S MAIN FAME at
that time-January 8, 192O-had been
mostly as pitcher The did lead the Amer
lean League with 20 homers in '19)-it was
sale that bordered on the historic. I'm
agine, 100000 or more for baseball
player!
Nobody improved much on that cash
figure, although Connie Mack, of all peo-
pie, was said to have paid 100000 to the
Baltimore Orioles of the International
League for Lefty Grove. If true, it was
steal. If Pigment, it made for copy
The deal that involved cold cash-and
that more or less rocked the Nation-was
Red Sox Owner Tom Yawkey's purchase of
Shortstop-manager Joe Cronin from the
Senators for $250.000 plus Lyn Larry very
likable young man but not quite short
stop of Cronin's caliber
Cronin had been the great-hit, great
the Senators won their last pennant. In
1884 they finished next to last. Cronin
suffered broken wrist-one of some 40
odd casualties that dismal campaign-and
one night at sports dinner in October,
1884, the late Clark Griffith confided to a
Washington sports editor:
Get to my office as soon as you can
in the morning. We've got deal"
GRIFF WAS QUIVERING little He
had agreed to sell Cronin, on the top of all
things his son-in-law, for a quarter of
million dollars! Plus Shortstop! 1t had
never been done!
The next morning, in his offices at
Griffith Stadium, the Old Fox had returned
to some of his normalcy 'I never sold
ball player for cash in my life," Griff in

and so forth. I mean a star who's at his
peak. But today I'm announcing the deal
with the Red Sox. :"

sale figure was $25O,0O0, plus player. And

Crazy or not, the deal went through.
A few years later Dizzy Dean was sold to
the Cubs by the Cardinals for $185 900, plus
players. Sam Breadon, who owned the
Cards, called P. K. Wrigley Of the Cubs

WIN LOSE OR DRAW
Offer for Mays Recalls
Big Deals of Past Years

1T NOW COMES TO LIGHT that, so
determined was the lady to make box
office success of her New York Nets, Mrs.
Charles Shipman Payson offered the equiv
alent of $650,000 for Willie Mays of the
Giants.
President Horace Stoneham confirmed
the offer extended by Mrs. Payson within
the last year, although he did not specify
the amount When New York sports edi-
tor called Stoneham to verify a reported
81 million bid for Mays the Giants prexy
was quoted:
"It wasn't million exactly. 1t was
an offer for her stock in the Giants" Mrs.
PaySon had owned 800 or so shares in the
old New York GiantS-thiS was before she
angeled the Mets-and her holdings were
valued at $6500O0. These stocks she was
willing to give up for the 30-year-
Say Hey Kid.
Although money reputedly is cheap
these days, Mrs. Payson'S confirmed offer
has got to rank among baseball'S all-time
bids for a player. Not to leave Willie on
mere $650,000 level, Stoneham disclosed
during his discussion with the Journal
Americans Max Kase that, six years ago.
Gussie Busch, the brewer owner of the
Cardinals, suggested that he was willing to
pay 81 million in cash for Mays.
'I didn't have to think twice." Stone
ham repeatedly said in pious tone, explain
ing why he didn't accept the deal.
ONE WONDERS WHERE a transaction
involving the exchange of Mays for ST mil
lion, or even the piddling $65O0OO in stock,
would belong in history. Would it have
been bigger deal, everything considered,
than Babe Ruth's sale by the Red Sox to
the Yankees? Or the sale of Joe Cronin?
Dizzy Dean? Lefty Grove?
Would it have changed history-base-
ball history, that is? Or would it merely
have pointed up the wealthy Mrs. Payson's
determination to restore National League
ball in New York, she being owner of 83
per cent of the Nets stock?
The sale of Ruth affected baseball so
much that even today it is remembered
more vividly than other deals involving
more money. Strangely, there are conflict
ing stories as to how much dough was paid
for the Babe. The record book says it was
$125,OOO. Ed Barrow, who was general man
ager of the Red Sox before the trade and
GIN of the Yankees after, wrote some
what different figure in his memoirs.
Harry Frazee, owner of the Red Sox
but just as well known as the backer Of
Broadway shows, was pinched in finan-
cial way in the winter of 1920, according
to Barrow. earlier he had sold Carl Mays
to the Yankees for $40,00O-in fact, Harry
was in the process of selling all key mem
bers of very great club-when he called
me into conference regarding Ruth.

tory-overcame a critical man
power shortage brought on by
injuries and personal fouls to
drive to a 110-107 overtime
triumph over the Los Angeles
Lakers at Boston Garden. That
victory gave them the best-of-
seven series, 4-3.
Veteran Carl Braun, who
spent IA seasons with the New
York Knicks, perhaps summed
up the feelings Of the Boston
players, old and young alike,
when he bubbled:
1--WE got permission from
Owner Walter Brown and I'm
keeping my Celtics shirt. I may
even wear it to bed"
Spirit like Braun's was what
enabled the Celtics to do what
no other NBA team ever had
managed before-win the title
four years running. Boston now
has won the championship
five times in the last six years.
But if the Celtics were the
greatest the Lakers weren't
far behind, as Coach Fred
Schaus pointed out. The Lakers
came within an inch or two of
becoming the new champions
on a tremendous last:minute
rally in regulation time.

batters, which is unusual for
him.
With the bases loaded and
one out. Chico Fernandez hit
what appeared to be a double
play ball to Danny O'Connell at
third. But Danny didn't get his
glove on 1.-THE ball appeared
to take a skidding hop at the
last minute-and it went for a
single, scoring two. Dick
Browns long sacrifice fly scored
another, and when Mossi
singled for the second time,
McClain was out.
The Senators finally started
hitting MosSi solidly, but Steve
Boros saved him with two su-
perb stops in the seventh, and
in the 9th with two on, Bob
Johnson's long drive to left
fell Just short Of the stands.
Vernon used three light handed
pinch hitters to no avail.
NOTES.-The Senators, who
expected an off day today, were
shocked out of their creams
when Vernon ordered a / o'clock
workout Willie Tasby still
has trouble counting. He started
trotting to the dugout after TAX
ing Browns sacrifice fly for the
second out in the Tigers fourth.
Although Mossi didn't walk
a man. he threw 1913 pitches,
which is very high for a hurler
who goes the route. The Sem
ators fouled off number Of

lowed some vicious fouls by
striking out twice, and the sec
ond time he smashed his bat
on the dugout steps.

The drive was engineered by

tie it at 100-all. Selvy barely
missed a winning basket with
three seconds left.

The Senators gained some
comfort from their six-day,

A month ago Milt Pappas'
side was throbbing. Today his
right arm was throbbing. But
Baltimore Manager Billy Hitch
cock was smiling.
Making his first start since
he climbed out of a hospital
bed last month, PappaS set the
Yankees down on two hits for
six innings and accounted for
the games lone run as the ORR
oles whipped the world cham
pions, 10, last night.
The plucky 23-year-old right
handler, rushed to the hospital
in March for an appendectomy
allowed only two singles and
one walk while providing the
Orioles with the run they need
ed on a 340-foot homer in the
fifth inning.
Pappas' first victory also boil
stored the Orioles pitching
corps, depleted by the loss of
Steve Barber to the Army-he's
available on week ends only
and the shoulder injury that
has kept Jack Fisher on the
Sidelines.
Welhelm Takes Over
With Pappas, who was toss
ing 'em up for Baltimore when
he was 18, back on the firing
line, Hitchcock has five able
bodied, full-time employees to
handle the pitching chores
The quintet is rounded out by
Chuck Estrada. Billy Hoeft
Dick Hall and Skinny Brown.
The Orioles also have Hoyt
Wilhelm. the 38 = year = old
knuckleball specialist, who
came on to preserve PappaS'
triumph when Milt's arm stiff
fened. Wilhelm got six straight
Yanks, then had to pitch out of
a one-out, bases-loaded jam in
the ninth to nail it down.
Don MoSsi pitched a five
hitter for Detroit's 5-1 victory
over Washington, the White
Sox edged Minnesota, 80, and
the Angels defeated Kansas
City, 80. in other American
League games. Cleveland and
Boston were not scheduled.
Robinson Produces
Pappas' homer was the sixth
of his career and the first hit
off Bill Stafford, who left for
a pinch-hitter in the eighth
after checking the Orioles on
two hits.
