Early Wynn Is Big Gun In
Tribe’s Chase Of Yanks
If. the. Imliaii*’
Enrly Wynn hadn’t contracted
the doffp>udest of hives in
local niidieal historj’, there's no
tellinfr how many games he
miprht have won by this time.
But des|>it«‘ a late start and that
three week seipe in a hospital,
the ex-Washinpton right hand
er has earnetl himself rank as
one of the American licajrne’s
most effective moundsnien.
Althouph a brief flurry of
wildness and a lu‘kK*ss after
noon in (reneral cost him a cru
cial prame in the recent Yankee
aeries, Wynn has been a con
sistent winner for the Tribe this
summer as his 7-2 record 'will
attest.
Winning grames is, of course,
nothing new to this veteran of
seven previo^ls major league
campaigns. During his career
prior to 1949 he copped 72 de
‘cisions. including two banner
•easons when he registered 17
and 18 triumphs. But if the In
dians are to repeat at champions,
this summer may well be Wynn’s
best.
Xev«r in his life has he had
better “stuff” according to op
posing batters. “He really looks
great this ^rt,” commented
the Yankees’ Charley Keller.
‘ ‘ Not only does seem faster than
befor«, but that curve and
ehange-up have really improv
ed!” And Keller should be a
good judge for the two have
opposed each other some twenty
times over the years.
What Keller probably didn’t
know was that coach Mel Harder
rated a healthy as-sist on W^ynn’s
remarkable improvement. More
important than any other fac
tor was Harder’s success in get
ting Early to stop 1r\’ing to piit
too nuK'h on each pitch. A fierce
competitor, W.ynn was follow
ing the natural urge to blow the
ball past the hitters. And par
adoxical as it may seem, a ball
thrown too hard, will hop less
than one thn>wn niore slowly
and with the proper wrist ac-
t^ion. Harder was able to over
come this tendency and at the
same time improve Wynn’s
change-up/and curve to the point
where he is now among the best
when he has control.
For the first month of the
season that last item was his
bugaboo. He just couldn’t seem
to catch the corners and too
many of his pitches slipped in
to the center of the plate or
missed it altogether. The result
was some pretty rough treat
ment and a dozen runs against
his record in his first twelve
innings. Even his usually good
batting average plumbed the de
pths.
But on May 23 it was a dif
ferent storj' as he throttled
Philadelphia on six hits for his
first victory as an Indian. His
next start was an 11 inning, 4
hit triumph over Chicago and
his third, a 4 hit win agaiuKt
Boston. Never in his life had he
been sharper but was the un
fortunate moment that fate de
cided to put him out of action.
Back in uniform after a three
week layoff he resumed his win
ning ways but it took him four
starts before he had. strength
and control enough to finish a
game. By mid-July he’d regain
ed his old sharpness on the
mound and power at the plate
and was off and running on^ a
one man victory campaign that
promised to b* a major factor
in Cleveland’s up from the de
pths fight to repeat.

That Buddy Johnson has a
mighty loyal fan following in
this neck of the woods was
elerfrly demonstrated when a
crowd of almost 300 persons
waited until sevral minutes af
ter midnight at Sports Arena
in this city for the arrival of
Buddy, his Wocklftisting band
vocalists Arthur Prysock and
Ella Johnson, who were delayed
by a road accident while en
route to their dance date.
More than two thousand per
sons had paid their admissions
to the dance when the announce
ment was made at 10 P. M. that
the Johnson band had been de-
layetl but would definitely ar
rive to play a full four hour
■ses.sion-. The crowd let out a col
lective groan, which mjomp'ted
the promoter of the dan^ to an
nounce that all persons not wish
ing to wait for the start of the
dance could stop at the box of
fice for refunds of their ad
missions. The oirowd showed its
loyalty to the “Walk ’Em Rhy
thm” maestro when only seven
persons stepped up for refunds
while the remainder of the audi
ence determined to -stick it otit
until the arrival ofthe Johnson
crew.
During the long wait for the
Johnson band, popular disc-
joekev Red Munro of Station
WCOG’s “Night Owl Club”
took to the bandstand of the
Sports Arena and kept tlu'^ti^ver-
increasing crowd entertained by
playing Buddy’s Dfcca record
ings on a hurriedly iin|>rovised
net of turntables.
Buddy and his band, whoso
journey to Greensboro was in
terrupted when their bus was
forced into a ditch by a sw’ervinfr
truck, 'were af-cordjng a rousintr
ovation when they arrived at the
Sports Arena a few minutes af-

Mike Garcia, Cleveland In
dian's pifching sensation, and
candidate for rookie of the

Paige lobing a ball lazily, and
then remarked “Satchel Paige
sure knows a whole lot about
all there is to know about
pitching.” Then, he added,
“Satch noticed that I was
pitching too fast, and wasn’t
spacing my pitchy. He told
md, to count ten between
pitches, and it help me a lot.

The local team’s trip was spon
sored and financed by the Ellis

Durham team was on the short
end of a 10-7 score.
Approxi.mately one hundred
children and directors ^of
various playgrounds accom

Durham group in a picnic at
Chavis Park.
This was the second in a series

Happy Chandler To
See Negro Version
Of Diamond Classic
CHICAGO
Upwards of 4),0M), including
Haseball (Commissioner Albert
B. ('handler, will H*>e the 17th
annual East-WeSt Baseball (-las
sie Sunday afternoon, August
14, here in Comiskey Park.
In addition to the baseball
czar, a good number of major
league scouts are expected to
be on hand to watch the game
pitting the outstandings stars
of the West Division against
the Easf Division of the Nc-’
gro American League, which
has been ^onsoring the game
ever since its inception in
1933.
The scouts will be seeking fu
ture big league timber, as this
Classic has produced several
oiitstanding players who event
ually found themselves in organ
ized baseball, including the
major leagues. Sterae of the
greats who performed at one
time or another in East-West
competition are the ageless
Satchel Paige, now ,with the
Cleveland Indians; Larry D
also Vith the Tribe; Roy
nella find the celebrated
Robison, both with the Brook
lyn yodgers, and Monty Erwin
with the New York Giants, plus
a lot of others who are liow earn
ing their spurs in the minor lea
gues of organized baseball.
The appearance of Com
missioner Chandler at Sun
day’s game marks the lirst
time 'that the baseball czar
will ]>e in attendance at the
big Classic, which has drawn
15,000 for the inattgural game
in 1933 and luis grown i*^
leaps and bounds evei^nce.
The greatest crow4 evey tg
watch the game was in 1943,
whon a r^cQrd-breakiQg 51,
723 thrp^ found its W9y into
Comiskoy Park, with mgre
thin 10,000 being tunifd »way
at thp gates,
Advance ticket sales indicate
llhat another 40,000 or better
crowd Mdll turn out for the 19+9
edition of this sports attraction,
There are still a lot of good
seats left, Dr. J. B. Martin,
president of the Ameriifan I/i'a-
gue, reports.
Commissioner Chandler will
throw out the first ball. “Pre
sence of Mr. Chandler at the
game will add importance
to the fray,” said Dr. Martin.
“With a lot* of our players
now going in to organiied
baseball, we thought it prop
er and fitting to invite the
Commissioner to throw out
the first ball.”
The West, piloted by Liorenso'
(“Piper”) Davis, the-playing
inaiuigcr of the Bimtingham
Black Barons, will be seeking
its seventh straight victory and
11th in the 18 games over the
Easterners. The latter’s man
ager is Hoss Walker of the Balti
more Elite fliants, who -will
have four of his own men on the
team.
In addition to Baltimore, the
New York Cubans, also an
Eastern representative, and
the Memphis Red Sox and the
Black Barons, the latter two
Western clubs, -are sending
four players each to the big
Classic.,
On the b'a'^ifj^of past ■perform
ance#, the WesKwill have^ be
picked as a pre-gJHue-^^awrite,
although both clubs are well
fortified with excellent pitching
and good hitters. The West has
six .300 better hitters, compared
|to five for the Eist, exclusive
of the pitchers.
Leading batsman is Manager
Davis, who is leading the lea
gue with .385. Next ^t stick
er is outfielder Bob Davis of
the Baltimore Elite Giants.
The West has also the leading
home run hitter in outfielder
Willard Brown, who has 11
four-round trippers to Ui
credit at this time of writing.
The Monarchs’ fl«et-foot«d
gardener also has driwa In
'^the most runs, 163, to be exact
and has the most total basei,
143. '
With the rival managers not
expected to announce their start
ing lineups, including opening
pitchers, not earlier than Fri-
*lay, who will start the big game
Is stfll a matter of conjecture
among ti^e thousands of base
ball followers.
Probably starting on the
hill for the West will be
Alonzo Perry of Birmingham,
who won 10-3. He has the
best mark of the five hurlers
named to the West squad. And
the same will probably apply
to the East, which has Bob
Griffith as its best pitcher.
Griffith has won seven an4
lost only one.
