rence of the arm injury that side-
lined him for seven weeks recent
ly.'His arm stiffened in the fourth
inning.
This has been a rough season
for the smallest pitcher in baseball.
He's - won five and lost eight as
compared with a 19kr3 mark at this
same time in 1952 and a seasonal
log of 24-7. He's been plagued with
arm trouble since injuring a muscle
in his shoulder in Boston earlier in
the campaign. '
The southpaw came back about
10 days ago and .won two games,
beating St. Louis and Chicago. He
rested a week before starting in the
rain and cold against Cleveland
Sunday. Manager Jimmy Dykes of
the Philadelphia Athletics removed
his ace after four innings with
Cleveland leading 2-0.
' Dykes gloomily surveyed the sit

Monday: ;
"I don't know when I'll use him
again, but I do know it. won't be
until I'm quite sure his arm and
shoulder are all right Right .now,
they aren't all right, no mistake
about it"
Dykes indicated he was. going to
keep Shantz on the bench possibly
even the rest of the year to make
sure ' the little hurler will - be of
future use to the A's.

employees retirement fund.

held by the California-Western

ica and smaller but pressing debts.
There would also be $30,000 or
$40,000 left to buy ball players.
'Of the loan prospect; Cavanaugh
said: "It is certainly letter-for us
to invest in a prime' first mort
gage in Sacramento than it is to
buy bonds on, say, the Union Ter
minal in Chicago. Our money will
be right here where we can watch
