We imagine Goldie Bolt, the brainy ex-Yakima Pip skipper, Is
enjoying more than anyone else Charlie Schanz success in the majors
-ithat Is, anyone but Charlie Schanz. Big Chas. was nothing but a
baseball nothing when Goldie picked him up. He'd been kicked around
from the class "C" Sale Lake Pioneer club to mothering San Fran
cisco Seals, back again to Tacoma,
up again to tne seals ana oacK
n still again to Yakima when
oma would have no more of
in 1940. Likeable but unre
tpected Charlie was wearing the
njr sign in big bold j letters as
far as the Western International
ballgamers were concerned. Wild
er than six March hares and sev
en drunken Indians, Schanz tried
fruitlessly, to get 'em out consist
ently with his sidearm deliveries, ;
a la one Bud Brewer, well remem-,
bered hereabouts. But no luck, just !
.train rides back and forth from
San Francisco on an option that!
finally wore out . : ' : " .' I
But in 1940 Schanz went over j
- to. the Yakima club and Goldie j
Holt. Before the switch he'd been
a wild sidearmer who had every
batter in the league so loose at
the dish only their hearts A were f
willing their below-belt persons leaned strictly toward the bench.
You never knew whether you were going to get something to hit at,
get hit or have a little white thing slung down your throat But
- the transformation was amazing
to Holt's words of wisdom. We were told of it later by proud Mr.
Holt himself.
The first thing he did to help make Charlie what he is today was
! to show hint how much easier it
; i it could be to throw overhand instead of sidearm.Chas. immediately
r turned into an overhander with an
tossed, in a fhree-quarter -halfway between over and side just
for good measure. Much better control was gained by a simple me
thod known to pitchers and reminded by Holt, who, incidentally,
I knows quite a bit about the art, Concerns the position on the rubber
i from which a hurler shoves oft Some like to throw from the left end,
.. others the right end and still others from the middle. If a pitcher
is tossing from the right side of the slab and is "wild inside" to right-
handed batters meaning that their serves" are missing the plate
toward the batter he often finds a correction by moving across to
the other end of the slab for deliveries. And it works vice versa.
!"' - Z. - . .-' v.;-.- .'
Didn't Take Him Long to Learn .
jV- Wild Schanz wore a ring around the slab in trying to ground him
l self properly, but it didn't take long. His "high" and "low" wildness
-: was corrected by the watchful eyes
Chas. was' not following through correctly. As mentioned above, the
, - transformation .was an overnight revelation. Charlie went on to win
19 games that seasonvyouH recall. When it wound' up, the bludgeon
. swingers were convinced he had as

Manager Ovoen on One Big Spot
It's "deliver, now or else" as we
Portland's Bevos that is, 'twill be
manager-every-year trend. Up until just recently, the Beavers had
no playing power, so to speak,
ducked any and all criticism for a
with a "give us something to work with and weH produce." But now
it's different, and with the "lucky" finally realized in the "Lucky
Beavers" handle, Manager Marv is on the spot
, . ' The signing of our old pal Charlie Petersen to play second sack
has as much to do with putting Owen bn the "X" as anything else,
ior u me Deginning u was saia vj even loit uregory tnat tne beau
tiful Bevos could trot off with the linen if they only had a second
sacker and some pitchers. Now they have all, Pete' to play the key
stone, and he can play it well enough that San Francisco held that
spot open for him this year, and pitchers galore in Ad Liska, Roy
Helser, Joe Sullivan, Marino Pieretti, Duke Windsor, Clarence Fe
dermeyer, Jack Wilson and Syd Cohen, to say nothing of two new
flingers from the east and two or three lesser lights taking up bench
space. Catching those pitchers they, have Gilly Campbell and Eddie
Adams, very good and good enough. At first base Larry Barton, one
of the best in the league; at short OTIeil, pretty fair, and at third
Owen himself. Norm DeWeese, Ted Gullic, Spencer Harris and John
Wesley Gill as outfielders arent the most featherfooted in the business
but they're rappers all, the records tell. And Helser gives 'em a pinch
hitter of the first water. ' . :J' ' . , .
Some we've left off, but you get the Idea. The Bevos have them
selves quite, a nine now, and in comparison with the others in the
circuit should by all means finish 1-2 in the derby If they don't
well, you remember what happened to Merv Shea last season after he
hauled 'em into fourth place, a slot they hadn't even heard of for
years.

straight street, car, derby was con
siderably under that of pre-war

through. the. mutuel machines on
the derby, with the greater part of
the support going to Stir Up; on
the basis of his victories, in the
Flamingo Stakes, and Wood Mem

the nation's premier .jockey. The
betting on the race was the highest
