Enos Slaughter Considered Prize A A Rookie Cf All Time
ARTICLE FROM COLUMBUS NEWSPAPER
There are experienced baseball
men sitting in the stands at Red
Bird stadium at every game who
consider Enos Slaughter the most
brilliant outfielder prospect they
have ever seen, performing in the
American Association.
But you don’t have to go to seouts
or their like to hear the same sort
of thing. Manager Burt Shotton, the
man above all others who should
know, thinks along much the same
lines. He considers Slaughter a
youfrg man without a
flaw.
In other words he’s the ideal
every manager hopes for but sel
dom finds. This means considering
him as an athlete out there on the
field and as a citizen in private life.
It isn’t often these two qualifications
come together.
But they do in Slaughter. He has
& powerful and accurate throwing
arm, a great batting eye, plenty of
speed, the will to win and surging
dash which comes because he loves
to play baseball. In addition he can
bunt, place his hits, slide and think.
Shotton wouldn’t be surprised if
Slaughter became a great ball play
er in the next two or three years.
He doesn’t mean just a big leaguer,
he means a stand ont, an all-star.
Asked if he thought Slaughter
would slow up soon on his almost
impossible batting pace, Shotton re
plied “I don’t see why. There hasn’t
been a pitcher in the league who has
made him look bad, left hander or
right hander. Whatever they throw
in there that he can lay his bat on
he pounds safe. When you can do
that it’s all very simple.”
Yet there is no explanation for
his average as it keeps flirting with
the .400 figure. In his first year of
professional ball with Martinsville,
a Class D Bi-State league club, he
hit only .280.
But last year, promoted to Colum
bus, Ga., in the South Atlantic
league, he moved this average up
35 points to .325. Now his pace has
jumped still more from .325 to .390
“I don’t really know why I’m hit
ting that much better unless that
I don’t go after as many bad balls,”
cays the young man.
And right there, perhaps, is the
explanation. Slaughter seldom goes
after a bad pitch. On the other hand
he seldom lets a good one get past
him. When the pitcher gets the ball
in there Slaughter lashes it. Near
ly half the time it goes safe.
Slaughter is the pure product of
the farm country of North Carolina.
He lives in a cottage on his father’s
100-acre farm, a farm incidentally
handed down from his grandfather.
His strong wrists he attributes to
milking half a dozen cows .twice
a day since he became old enough.
His characteristic verve may come
from his diet of wild meat, rabbits,
squirrels, birds and an occasional
wild turkey. His eyes he never'put
to undue strain. Infrequently does
he go to a movie or read stories.
About the only reading he does is
sport pages in newspapers.
Enos Slaughter wants to be a
ball player and nothing that will
hamper that goal is for him. He
doesn’t like night baseball because
it keeps him up too late. At home
he goes to bed at 9 o’clock and is

duct of one of the Cardinal rookie
schools held in 1934 at Greensboro,
N. C. He pitched a game in high
school once and won it, but spent
the rest of his career as a second
baseman until he became a profes
sional. He played full-back on his
high school football team and did
all the punting and most of the
passing. He also played basketball.
The other night after the game
Slaughter ws interviewed over the
radio. He was asked where he got
his exceprtional ability to throw.
‘‘Throwin” stones at rabbits down
home on the farm, I s’pose,’” he
drawled.
Then it came out that young’ Enos
had to walk a mile or so from his
own cottage to go over to his dad’s
barn to milk. So as he’d go walk
ing along he’d shy stones at rab
bits he saw.
“Las’ yea, if I rightly recollec’,
I got 83 of ’em that way,” he testi
fied. And he wasn’t kidding, eith

Athletic Commission decided Joe
Louis must be recognized as world’s

Detroit Negro would be able to get
a license to fight in this State only
if he agrees to a title defense a

“Os course, if Schmeling wbn’t
fight him,” added Brig. Gen John
J. Phelan, commission chairman,
that puts another color on the situ
ation.”
Phelan explained that Louis was
not under suspension in this state,
although not long ago the commis
sion ruled that any fighter meet
ing Jimmy Braddock would suffer
that penalty. Phelan explained that
Louis’New York State license ex
pired before he met Jimmy Brad
dock in Chicago June 22 and that,
therefore, he could not be suspend
ed.
Braddock still is under suspen
sion here for his failure to go thru
with a contract to defend the heavy
weight championship against Sch
meling.
Explaining the commission’s de
cision, to recognize Louis as title
holder, Phalen said:
“What could we do? He knocked
out. the holder of the championship.”

Special significance is attached to

When born four of the children
appeared normal and the fifth was
