Tbera Is hardly any doubt but
what power transformers have
their plAce in the scheme of
present-day things ... but when
they tiansform cinch home runs
Into mere doubles, . it's time to
raise a belTer, thinks Roy lielser,
the ex-Linfield southpaw who
staged a three-hit relief pitching
penormance against the Portland
Babes at Silverton Tuesday night
alter having already pitched two
bait games in the semi-pro tour
Bey ... one of which was a
one-hitter ...
Stepper-Downer,
'"Ihry told me la college,"
you could almost hear Helser
saying as be revta! atop the
ke-) atone after pacing the
hardest ball hit in the tourua- .
ment this year, "transformers
are used to step down power.
But holy gee, 1 never thought
one would atep down my bat
tlnS power" . . . with one
away in the sixth frame of the
llllUboro-llabes game, lielser
pickled a pitch that soared for
the rlght-centerfield fence,
373 fet away ... like most of
this writer's golf hots, is was
misdirected and caromed off
the power transformer some
SO feet high on the center
field light post and stayed in
side the park for a double
instead of the homer it would
bare been ...
No Roses for Umps.
Umps hare their troubles in
baseball, too. Softball Arbiters
Welsgerber and Clark . . . as
witness the shoring around Um

eighth inning of the Sllverton

a strike tossed in a "clutch" sit-,

for Edwards . . . . Lahtl wanted
to pin a second strike on . Gar

for his demonstration . . , at
the time two were away, Sox
Right Fielder Baker had been
issued xa political walk. Chic
Hanser was ahead of him oq
second base by virtue of a. two-
base smash into left field and
the count was two strikes and
one ball on Ray Koch,, college
day keystone mate of the Yan
kee's Joe Gordon . . . the ball
heaved by 'Lahtl would have re
tired the side had Garbarino call
ed It a strike as both Lahtl and
Catcher Howard Maple indelibly
believed it 'to be . . .
Ill Luck for Thieves.
Sllverton's s t e 1 1 a r b use
thieves had little luck-against
the accurate second - base
pitching of 'liutterball" Maple
second in his long bag of
stolen bases, but Miple'i
throws were ahead ... While
- the "Butterball" failed to find
basebit range at bat. thereby
affording a galaxy of extremely
anti-Maple Silverton fans much
glee, he caught what should
be called an ultra-brainy,
smooth, smooth game ... twice
he nonchalantly stuck the. ap

CHICAGO. July 20.-(flV
Chsrles Leo (Cabby) Hartnett,
was named manager of the Chica
go Cubs, replacing Charlie Grimm.
owner Phil K.'Wrigley announ
ced late today. Hartnett will take
charge of the club tomorrow.
Wrlgley. ; who , Indicated last
week. that a change In the field
leadership of the Cubs, might be
made, but "not until I can find a
better man than Grimm." made
the announcement at a meeting
with sportswriters.
"Well, j we've changed man
agers," be said simply. "Starting
with tomorrow, Hartnett will be
in charge.
A change had been rumored on
and off for two years, when the
Cubs, on paper a championship
club, staged late season blowups.
Each time, however. Wrlgley had
adhered to his determination to
stick to Grimm.
Hartnett. ranked with the
greatest catchers of all time and
cne of the National league's most
popular players with athletes and
fans alike, was gleefuL Grimm
obviously was downcast and said
little. i
"I am as happy as a kid with a
new toy." Hartnett boomed. "I
only hope I'm as lucky as a man
ager as I have been as a ball play
er. If I am, we should do all
right."
Grimm spoke only when he
posed, smiling, with Hartnett for
photographers.
"I'm glad you are taking it this
way. Charlie," Hartnett said.
"Wnat tne neil." Urimm ans
wered. "There's no other way to
take it. That's baseball."
Hartnett, who never has played
with any major league club but
the Cubs, joined the club in 1922.
He became the number one catch
er in 1924. and since then the bit;
Irishmsn, a horse for work, has
made records.
Last season he caught 103
games to tie Kay Schalk of the
Chicago White Sox In catching
100 or more contests for 12 sea
sons, a major league record. Ap
parently getting better with age,
he led National league catchers
in fielding in 1934-3S-36-37. and
previously "headed the circuit Id
1925. 1928 and 1930.
Hartnett, a great handler of
pitchers and possessed of an ex
cellent throwing arm, had a life
time major league batting average
of .300 at the end of last season
His best! season at bat was 1937
when he hammered the ball for a
.354 percentage.
