By WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, May 30. (AP) Speaking of Ernie Lom

Reds are around. Old Schnozzle is all wool and six yards wide

could stop a truck m a pasture,
?and that reach of his Is Just one
of his minor Qualifications as a
catcher, according to Bucky Wal
ters.
Bucky stood in a hotel lobby
waiting for the time to go out to
the Polo grounds and make the
Giants his seventh straight vic
tim, if possible. A tall, broad
shouldered, clear-eyed young fel
low Is Bucky, and a regular dap
per Dan.
"Everybody thinks of Lom
bard! as just a big fellow who
can't run but can just -swing a
bat," he said. "They don't realize
what a catcher he is. . V
What a Reach
"Why, he can reach out lfr feet
in acy direction and get 4 ball
without moving his feet. You
know Derringer, Thompson and
myseir don't throw exactly easy,
But I've seen Lombardi reach out
with his bare hand and catch one
of our fast ones which was wide,
ana loss it DacK witn tne same
motion. And not even rub his
hand, mind yon. I never saw any
thing like It.
"Oo I ever shake him off when
I don't like the pitch he's calling
ion- uucity shook his head and
grinned wryly. "Not very often.
And then it's usually a line drive.
He's a great catcher, make no
mistake about that."
And for the benefit of the mis
guided who, recalling the world
series sleeping beauty episode,
think that Ernie Is greeted by the
ringing of alarm clocks and syn
thetic crowing of roosters every
time he steps on the field, It might
be mentioned old Schnozzle. the
man who wouldn't alibi, is one of
the most popular players around
the league.
Fans Respect Him
The fans don't ride him because
they like and respect him. The
opposing teams don't ride him be
cause they know It brings him to
a slow, invisible boil which man
ifests Itself when he steps to the
plate. He just knocks the day
lights out of the ball, that's all.
Lombardi was the hardest
working Red in camn this unHnr.
In that lumbering .elephant-footed
way of his he was all over the
place. It still takes a home run to
get him In from third base, but It
isn't because he Isn't doing the
best he can.
Right now he's batting aronnd
375. and when he tmblM r tn
the plate, pant legs droDDinr half
way to his ankles and swinging a
bat In those big paws like it was
a toothpick, you see the outfield
ers edging backward until t they
rest their shoulderblades on the
fences. If he gets even a piece of
the ball it's liable to take a leg
right off a thortstoa. :.

Colt Beat the $ Field
at Belmont
: By SID FEDER -: ' '.-
NEW YORK, May $0-()-
Eight Thirty turned an about face
in his plan' of campaign today and
it worked.
Before what , was believed an
all-time record New York crowd
of 41,859 fans, George D. Widen
er's big colt, beaten in the Metro
politan mile a week ago because
he tried to make the pace, took
his time until the final furlong
and won the historic Suburban
handicap by a length at Belmont
park.
He let Myron Selznlck's Can't
Wait and Donald P. Ross' Masked
General set the fastest six-furlong
pace Belmont has ever seen, and
then came around both of them
to win. Can't Walt chased him
home, and was three lengths in
front of Mrs. Payne Whitney's
favored Third Degree, who head
ed Masked General for the show
spot. Third Degree won the Met
ropolitan last Saturday.
So fast were they moving that
they whistled past the six-furlong
mark in 1:09 4-5, one-fifth faster
than the track record for the dis
tance. Third at Turn
They hit the mile in 1:35 1-5,
just a fifth of a second off the
mile mark. Eight Thirty,' who had
been placed fourth there, started
to more at that point. He was
third turning for home snd then
let 'er rip all the way down the
straight run. He was clocked In
2:01 3-5, . a second and three-
fifths slower than the record
Whisk Broom II set in 1913.
Not only was it a matter of
revenge for the Widener stan
dard -bearer, but he pocketed
$19,850 for turning the trick,
jest $100 more than the previous
high for this 56-year-old stake.
With Third Degree backed down
to the favorite's slot Eight Thirty
returned $8.60 for each $2 win
ticket In the mutuel windows,
which handled a New York rec
ord of $277,(48 on the race. Can't
Wait, second la the Metropolitan,
was $7.20 for place and Third
Degree was $2.30 for show.
A total of $1,436,729 was han
dled On the eight races as com
pared to the previous high of
11.187,899.
