Louis Cardinols. Mudcat Member. "Pitching In a night fine against Cincinnati' said J-onei. "McGee set the Reds down Witless until the seventh . inning. 'Tj 'The Gas House gang ultimately lost the ball game for McGee, Jones recounts, but the sturdy right bander about whom we've heard tittle showed more stuff than any dinger he witnessed.

Fans Same Everywhere. Reckon baseball is about the most snobless institution in American social strita. Thia, was impressed upon) 'Jonesy, (as he's more intimately known about the city hall). In the same old baseball "huinapness that was prevalent anion big league crowds as out here in the bush iest of bush leagu ball. Big league crowds shor the same enthusiasm for the little side lights of baseball a. they do in Pumpkin Center, Jtnes reveals. "Spectators . will . Jscramble all over each other in Ian effort to catch a ball knocked into the stands, they'll gefi the same fiendish glee over I altercations that may arise between players' or between officials and players and they'll derive the same gen uine pleasude over "riding" an official or player as they do on the sandlots," he fcaid. May Oust Giants Pittsburgh has just about been conceded champioii of the Nation al, Jones informed us, but there is a feeling either Cincinnati or Chicago may get over the hump to out the Giants out of second place. "Before Hartnett. who by the way doesn't leave yon with any doubt as to the reason he is the most popular ball player in the big show with both fans and players, got hurt, the Cubs look ed like-the dub to do that little piece of -ousting; But with Hart nett out of thete, and with! Dean apparently unattle to do any fur ther effective pitching this season, it would seem the Reds have the better chance.' Cards Praised. Jones . has plenty of good things to aa; about those Gas House hoys tof St. Xoois, des spite their residence but 15 games out ol the cellar. "They 're a tough club to get but of there . at an r time," remarked Jones, "and "the rest of the cir cuit has plenty -of respect foe them. And its easy to see why the Cards' Ducky Medwick last year led thej National league in hitting, totil hits, total runs, total phases,! slugging percent age, iwo-base hits, runs batted in, defensive outflelding. tied in home run jhitting and was named the pnost valuable player in the league! "Mr., -. how he hits that apple: remarked Jones witl eloquence and em phasis. They fairly; scream off his bat when he connects, ac cording to! the Judge. Medwick, you remember, not only accom plished all of the afore-described championships, but also led both major leagues last year with a batting mark of .374 and a fielding! average of .9883. In Monty Ten Times. Larry rencn, wno oroae- ju with Pittsiurgh In 1926, haa add ed to his bank account no little by being a member of a club that has finished i$ the world series mon ey every jingle time in the past 10 years.f But what strain! French told Jones that invariably in those 10 years he was with a club whih had to battle every Inch over I the stretch drive to stay in the money. "It take a lot out of a guyV that stretch drive," French said. Through his long time friendship with French, Jones had the opportunity of meeting Hartnett of the Cubs, Mc Kecnnie bf the Reds and quite a number jf both clubs' players. "fonder" Meer to Learn. They have a feeling around the circuit that Vander Meer still has to learn how to pitch,, remarked Jonesy.'- "He was new atfirt, and getting by In such Remarkable fashion by throwing his new stuff by 'em. But the hitters are getting on to his j 'alley' and are chasing him slower-ward pretty regu larly. Xow that the newness f Ills delivery and repertoire haa worn Off. it's the general con census the sturdy southpaw will have to begin to leans how to pitch.'

Although heroines were born nearly every second in that final inning, six-run splurge that gave McMinnville lassies their win, it was Fir6t Basemlstress Myrtle Spraker who delivered the coup de grace. Lets Two Go By This petite little "miss stood nonchalantly, with two away, the bases full and the score knotted at 12-all in the last of the final inning, while two straight "st-ri-kes" were wailed out by Umpire "Frisco" Edwards. Evidently de ciding that was far enough, she lashed into pitch No. 3 for a dar ling single across the keystone to score the winning run. Spraker no doubt got the Idea from Silverton 's third base pro tectoress, Florence Zollner, for it was also in a dramatic setting that Zollner came through to win for her mates. Again the score was knotted, at 2-all this time, for those Klamath Falls gals were de fensive gargantuans and battling briskly for every inch. The Mlssie Zollner lofted a high fly to left, scoring Sallfeld from third with the winning run. Sallfeld had reached scoring territory by dint of a single and a two-base error.
