W - Slugger Hank Bauer, who puts out 1, fires for the New York Yankees s in the summer and prevents ’em in the white- at Kansas City, said f he beheves that he’s all set for 1 a bumper season in the Yankee 1 outfield. 1 From the looks of him now, t Hank might be right. As viewed ( through a cloud of cigar smoke i. in the living room of his new b ranch-type home here, Bauer was f a package of solid muscle. It isn’t road work or gymnasium workouts that keep Bauer in excei - lent, year-around playing condition. 1 Bauer is a wintertime pipefitter, - He works for a Kansas City firm which Installs fire prevention - sprinkler systems, and Hank said occasionally those pipes get pretty s heavy. 1 Bauer said his job gave him a ! > fine chance to stay in shape, "and - the pay is good,” You can say *♦ that again—if you’ve had occasion to do business with a» pipefitter * lately. Hank is an energetic, through ly realistic business man off and * on the baseball diamond. * “I think I’m worth more money as a player, too,” Bauer | volunteered. Whether he was thinking of the last game of the 1951 World Series < wasn’t apparent. Bauer came through last season with a respect able .296 batting average, but what he did to the New York Giants s, in that last series game is pretty t hard to forget. 1. HIS BEST GAME a In the sixth inning he blasted -a bases-loaded triple to put New York ahead 4-1 and sent the Dan -6 kees on to a 4-3 victory. Then he a put the game on ice for. keeps g when he ran under Sal Yvars’ a mighty line drive for a remark able shoe-string catch as the last s play of the series, e ‘Td be ppcstty dumb,” Hank v said, “not to say that was ihe - best game of ball I ever played." j, J,t .was a sad ,day< for Bauer when the wearied Joe fMMagglo decided a to call it quits. a "Joe really helped me plenty,” Hank said, “on playing the hit t ters, improving my throwing posi y tion, and teaching me to get under 1 a fly ball without running myself i. "to death. e “DiMaggao was a lot more than ) a great ball player.

Warm air The smell of oil and.motors humming nothing could be more to the liking of the dapper little sportsman who man ages the 500-mile Memorial Day Indianapolis Motor Speedway clas sic. Shaw, three-time winner of the “600,” hates to loaf even now, a .few short months after he wss stricken with a heart attack while officiating at the Soap Box Derby at Akron, O. Talking with enthusiasm as if ha were going to open the sprawling racing plant in Speedway City to morrow, he said, “we’ve added 18 new garages since the last race, and it looks like we’U have 80 entries.” The little man who is happiest behind the wheel of a car, also was hopeful the 1952 auto sweepstakes l would be the first International event in six years. ITALIANS MAY ENTER “The Italian Fernd tram, with Piero Garuffi and Alberto Ascari the likely pilots, and Argentine world’s racing champion J. M Fangio have indicated they plan to be here,” he said. The - Italians also may bring along Oigi Vittores!, who knows the brick and asphalt oval as well as any of our own lead-foots. He placed seventh in 1948. The “500” barring bad weather and accidents, gets faster each year, and tougher, too. “There’s no way of telling how fast these guys will travel this year,” Shaw said. “There also is no way of telling how fast they can go on this track.” He explained that modification on chassis, revo lutionary and someday perhaps atomic-driven engines, improved fuel mixtures and other engineer ing genius all will help jock up the speed. “At least 10 can entered for each race haven’t got a chance to make the 33-car starting field on, race day, and I hops next year some of the owners see the hand writing on the wan and stay home ” NEEDED EXPERIENCE ■ Somsttaeß nhooglctoßßriWlkJ thoughtfully, the’experience an Un successful car owner gains is worth more than money can buy. “You never know .... the fellow who didn't make it last year may be back with the best car in the bunch ” Shaw knows of at least jg MW cars to be entered next Map- Roll birds say the stable to watch is Urn Murrell Belayer outfit from Crown Pointy BeIftHJEMV ha* toyed with into raSto the : last 20 years, hod hie fist Ms, win . her the last time when nfWbfa > Lee Wellard won the big Jackpot in record-time. 1 “Thai Belanger toons; terrific,” 1 marvelled Shaw.
