S SPORTS TRAIL |
By WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, June 11.— (JO —If
you were looking for a first-class
hawg caller it woird seem you
could go tnrough the stands at Eb
bets field and select one at ran
dom, judging from the noise that
emanates from that baseball em
porium in waves. Or in waives,
Fritz Ostermue ler might say.
Oddly enoogl', though, the one
thing, or one of the things, lack
ing in the Brooklyn Dodger setup
this year ha.? been a holler guy.
A real, leather-lunged, buzz-saw
voiced gent jut there in the in
field who corla put the old zip
and dash in the team when the
going was tough.
Well, they’ve got one now in
stocky Eddie Stanky, the short
stop-second baseman obtained
from the Chicago Cubs, and if
Stanky only hits .220 and his field
ing leaves something to be desir
ed, he should be valuable because
of his voice, although it’s admit
ted it’s difficult to field a fast
hopper with your mouth, and then
get tne Dan away ikouj.
Lippy Leo the Last
The Dogers haven’t had a real
holler guy out there since Leo Du
rooher decided he’d rather nave
his legs folded under the bench
than folding out at shortstop. Leo’s
capable successor, Pee-Wee Reese,
tried hard enough but his voice
was something of a pip-squeak and
you had to watch his mouth to
see if he was saying anything, and
\ even then he might just be chew
ing gum.
The various inept successors to
Pee-Wee also were on the strong,
silent order, and the Dodger for
tunes have been more or less on
the downgrade. On the rare oc
casions in reimt years when Du
rocher, the defending champion
holler guy, git o n there the team
perked up, despite the fact the
lippy pilot gradually was heach
ing a point he practically was play
ing on a trolley with a 10-foot
range.
Stanky—and anyone' making an
intentional typographical error
with that name had better start
running, as the little guy is a fire
ball—has none too impressive a
record in the majors, although he
v/as American association batting
I champion with Milw aukee in 1942.
I I
He played 142 games, mostly at
second base, for the Cubs last year
and hit only .245.
However, he has one valuable
talent Durocher was quick to rec
ognize. He’s an expert at hitting
behind the zunner, punching out
those hits through the weak spot
between first and second with^ a
man on- and Du ocher promptly
put him in the No. 2 spot in the
batting order.
Should Click
We have an idea he will click
with the Dodgers, and mollify the
fans, who had been grunting
around all season over Branch
Rickey’s apparent disinclination to
do anything to bolster the infield.
Stanky, incidentally, has base
ball connections. His father-in-law,
Milt Stock, played tlvrd base for
the Phillies when they won the
pennant in 1915 and he later play
ed under Riikey with the Cardi
nals, which doesn’t necessarily
make Stanky a great ball player,
of course, but ii doesn’t do any
harm, either.

TIGS BREAK EVEN
WITH WHITE SOX
CHICAGO, June 11—(#)—Frank
"Stubby” Overmire pitched the
Detroit Tigers into third place to
day by shutting out the White Sox,
1 to 0, on four hits in the second
game of a double-header before
23,461 after the Chicagoans had
rallied for a 4-2 triumph in the
opener.
The Tigers had to go to the ninth
!_:__ _ nlrfVitnon VinwOTor
before Rudy York singled home
Charley Metro with the lone run
of the game to end the Chicagoans
eight game winning streak and
give the chunky Overmire the de
cision over Thornton Lee in an all
southpaw duel. Lee allowed six
hits. It was Overmire’s second vic
tory of the year.
Overmire walked only one bat
ter and didn’t allow a Sox runner
to reach second base.
In the opener the Tigers blew
a late inning lead after Dizzy Trout
led Bill Dietrich, 2 to 1, on a run
he scored himself after singling.
In the eighth inning Outfielder
Ralph Hodgin came to bat with
the bases filled on a pass, a field
er’s choice and Thurman Tucker’s
safe bunt. He singled home the
tying and edge runs, chasing Troul
to the showers. Tucket beat Short
stop Joe Hoover’s throw to the
plate on Ed Carnett’s grounder tc
add an unnecessary run as Ha]
Newhouser finished for the Tigers.
The Tigers tried to whip up a
counter rally in the ninth when
Rudy York walked and Pinky Hig
gins singled, but rescuer Gordon
Maltzberger put out the fire.
It was Dietrich’s seventh vic
tory. Tucker, making four singles
in eight times at bat, raised his
league leading average to .398.
