WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1947 li International League Action By The Associated ress Rochester Red Wings have a slim chance of winding up in the first division of the International League this season but it appears certain that righthanders Max Surkont 'and Ray Vochin and southpaw Johnny Mikan will re- ceive a ch:ice to hurl for a ma- Jor league team in 1948, At the momcnt the Wings are 10 games behi .d the fourth-place Buffalo Bisons with only 15 games to play. : ®he ©, (uis Cardinal-owned farm club has won 61 games with Yochim, Surkont and Mikan ac- counting for 40 victories. Surkont and Yochim, both 25 - years old, each gained their 13th victory last _ht by pitching the Wings to a double decision over the league-leading Montreal Roy- als, Mikas %ops the team in vic tories, wit 14, The Wings won the opener 2-1 with Surkont holding the Royals to tive hits while Yochim ylelded six blows in capturing the night- + cap, 4-1, Three of the Wings' runs off Jack Banta in the nightcap were unearned. Banta, who leads the ' loop in strikeouts, had a no-hit. ter until Yochim singled during a two-run sixth-inning_rally. It was the third time the Wings have beaten Banta who now has . & 14.56 won-lost record. Ths twin setbacks cut the Roy- als' lead over the second-place Jersey City Giants to 23 games.

Aug. 27--(AP)-- Pressure and emotional strain yes- terday proved too much for Negro hurler Dan Bankhead as he made his debut for Brooklyn Dodgers against Pitsburgh Pirates as a relief Pitcher. The 26-year old star from Bir- mingham, Ala., pitched 3% innings against the Pirates and was wal- loped for 10 hits and eight runs as Brooklyn lost 16-3. Dodger Manager Burt Shotton, however, said he was "not at all disappointed" and added that he wanted another look at Bankhead before he formed "an opinion on him one way or another." The com- ment among Brooklyn players also was "give him time." Bankhead, obviously nervous over the fact that he was the first Negro pitcher to face a big league batter, relieved Hal Gregg in he second inning. He fanned two, walked one and hit a batter. But he also hit a two-run home- run. "I admit the boy didn't look good," Shotton said. "But he cer- tainly showed me he knows how to pitch. He has speed, a good curve and control. His delivery could be improved upon. The boys were calling all his pitches before they were made, His motion is too slow with men on bases." In Bankhead's introduction to the Press Monday Dodger Presi- dent Branch Rickey sald he was not worried about his ability, but feared that the mental strain might prove too much of a handicap. Bankhead himself, had no excuse to offer except to say that he "felt tired." "It was just one of those days," he said. "I wasn't too nervous or frightened. I'm quite a bit over- worked. Sometimes, we'd play three games in the Negro American League, and I'd work in all three. "This is no alibi," however," he added, "They certainly had their hiting clothes on. In a couple of days, I'll get the feel of it and I'll be okay. I'd like another crack at the Pirates." | Sports Roundup New York, Aug. 27--(AP)--Re- turning from a vacation in the mid- dle of a hot spell, this writer is slightly amazed, to find the football season near than just'around the corner and the publicity pounders in mid-season form. Here are a few of the pickups: Buddy Young and George Ratter- man, picked one-two in the race for most valuable player laurels in the recent Chicago all-star game, will oppose each other next Sunday when the Yankees and the Buffalo 6 | Bills open the All America Confer- ence season. Notre Dame may have a sellout for every one ofits nine games even before the season opens. The Army Northwestern and Navy games were sold out by early Aug- ust. As usual, there's no use trying to buy Army-Navy tickets. J.

Manager Billy Southworth of the Braves is squeezing his mat. erial to the limit. He has two top- notch pitchers in ~ohnny Sain and lefty Warren Spahn, "But he hasn't enough piteh- ers," Brave detractors contend, and for a while this week it 100k= ed that way as the St. Louis Car- dinals walloped Sain and Spahn on successive days. Voiselle Clean. Up Braves But Tuesday night Southworth countered with Big Bill Voiselle, the fugitive from New York Gi- ants who came to the Braves in exchange for Mort Cooper. Voiselle had only won one and lost four with the Giants, but he's won five and lost three since then with the Braves, his latest being the flossy-three-hitter he threw at the _ardinals last might as Boston won 5-1. The 'Dodgers, hard-pressed for pitchers, saw three of them--in- cluding Dan Bankh¥ad, first Ne. gro moundsman ever to fling in the majors, take a 20-hit lacera- ting from the seventh-place Pitts- burgh Pirates, who collected a 16-3 victory. Th. big right-hander was trea- ted cavalierly on the mound, but in his first trip to a big league plate, he cracked a two-run hom- er into the left field stands.

JOHNS One of the greatest play makers day, Lou Boudreau, youngest mans ager in baseball, continues to (a) lead the Cleveland Indians as bench boss, (b) make a spectacular "play a day" and (c) top the American league in batting. Adjectives fail to describe this 29- yeear-old ex-Illinois athletic hero's flelding gems. He makes amazing stops time after time -as he roams the infleld for the Tribe and, with Joe Gordon at second, makes up the No. 1 double.play combination in either league. The Indians' "Loulu'" seems to have the baseball mind at diag- nosing where a player is going to hit. And, with an animal-like agility, he reaches over or rockets down to trap hard-hit balls which oy by other short-stops for safe ts. As for his hitting, Boudreau has been a surprise. He never figured to be a star batter and with his fielding he wouldn't have to hit 250 to hold his job. And yet he won 'ha AL. batting title in 1944 and currenu, '« hitting at a .350 pace. As a manage: 'he former "boy wonder" has been secouu.messed but he has turfied in a very cap- able job. He is an intelligent, popu- lar boss, well-liked by his players, the fans and the press. A Fine Gentleman College-trained, Boudreau is at home either on the diamond or on the banquet or lecture circuit. A family man, too, he says his favorite recreation is being with them. He has three children, two girls and a boy, and the family lives at Har. vey, Ill, where he was born July 17, 1917. Boudreau is now in his sixth sea- son as manager of the Tribe, and is well-liked by the present ownership which once was reported ready to replace Lou with Jimmy Dykes or some other veteran bench boss. At the same time it is sald that Boudreau wouldn't be a happy shortstop for Cleveland if he didn't have the managerial reins after having had 'em. When he was first appointed to the job by President Alva Bradley, Boudreau was only 23 years old. Some of the old-timers on the club snickered at that but Lou soon showed 'em who was boss. And his play ever since has been an inspiration to the rest of the club for he has proven to be the greeatest shortstop in the league. He was the top shortstop in the AL. in flelding in 1940 and repeated --if not the greatest--in baseball to. |, 'YOUNGSTER' BOUDREAU ALREADY ASSURED OF PLACE IN BASEBALL'S HALL OF FAME ! famous stance it every year since with the excep- tion of 1945. He was named to the AL. all-star team four times. ; Probably Boudreau"s top bid for national fame came last summer when he moved his players over to the right side of the diamond in the second game of a double-header in an effort to stop Ted Willlams from getting so many hits. 'The shift, involving the moving of the third baseman to short, the shortstop to the right side of second and the second baseman closer to first, along with a movement of the outfielders, became known as the "Williams Shift" and later was cop- fed by Manager die Dyer of the Cards in the world series. Boudreau began his basebail car- eer as a catcher at Whittier grade school. His father, a semi-pro play- s . Manager Lou er, decided his son wasn't big enough for a shortstop so he chang- ed him to a third baseman. Illinois Cage Star At Thornton high school in Har- vey, young Boudreau continued to click on the diamond as a third sacker. But it-was in basketball that he drew most of the rave notices. With Tommy Nisbet, who later went on to Illinois with him, Boudreau led his team to the state championship in 1933 and the rune ner.up spots the next two years. Boudreau was selected on the all- star.cage squad three years in suc- cession, the only player in the his- tory of the state high school tour= ney to gain such an honor. At Illinois Boudreau played for. ward and again paced his club. He was an accurate shot and a great | Spicy Bits From Other Sports ( Cols. By GEORGE FORSTER Canadian Press Staff Writer Regina, Aug. 26--(CP) -- Every year about this time the hockey scout comes out of hibernation, and heaven help a puckster at a time like this--especially if he's a junior with a future. It lasts for several weeks. Dur- ing that time the kid is flooded with promises of a college education, a lavish expense account and a try- out with any pro team he desires. In fact he is offered anything his little heart desires for his signa. ture. The public prints report him as signed or almost signed with at least six different teams. And unable to resist, the kid finally leaves home and mother for the Podunkville Panthers, This sort of thing, suggests Dave (Regina Leader-Post) Dryburgh, must stop. It was in the midst of a discus. sion between Moose Jaw, Regina and Brandon about who was going to play where that Dave stood up and hollered: "Hands off the jun- iors!" "Let the seniors roam the coun- try, shop for the best price for their hockey services and bleed the promoters for every dime they can lay a finger on," he said, "All hands in that game should know the score. : : "But for heaven's sake let's not mix up the youngsters in such busi. ness. Let's give them a chance to finish their education in reasonably close-to-home surroundings and de- velop as hockey players without the almighty dollar standing in front of their school books." But he doesn't blame the kids for & minute, Dryburgh hastens to point out. Dryburgh also suggests it might not be a bad idea if the Canadian Amateur Hockey Assoclation took a look at some of the educational in- ducements offered players by cer- tain clubs. "What a few clubs have pulled under the guise of education has hardly," -he says, "been on the up- and-up." ball handler. In baseball he also won his letters as a third baseman on Illinois' Western Conference championship squad. Major League scouts began to take notice of his play and the Chicago clubs offered him contracts. Blt so did the Cleveland Indians and it was the Cleveland club that landed him, The Tribe sent him to Cedar Rapids in 1938 and Boudreau play- ed in 60 games, batting .290, He moved on to Buffalo in 1939 and | there teamed up with Ray Mack as a fancy flelding second-base com- bination. Cleveland brought both Boudreau and Mack up in mid-season and Boudreau clicked at once. He fin- ished the 1939 season with the Tribe as the regular shortstop. It was Oscar Vitt, manager of the Tribe in those days, who changed Boudreau into a shortstop. He had been playing third base at Cedar Rapids. Boudreau succeeded Roger Peck- inpaugh as manager of the Tribe in November, 1941, and has piloted the club ever since. The Tribe fin- ished third in 1943 for Boudreau's best mark as a manager.
