Go Into Action as
l945SeasonOpens
By Carl Lundqutst
(United Fretta Stff Corrwpondent) -
New York, April 19 HP) Ed
$ Tleusser's nrst pitching job or
1945, a 6 to 0 shutout for Cincin
nati over Pittsburg, may cause
fellow moundsmen to raise the
question when it comes time to
leave for spring training next
season "is this trip necessary?"
Heusser isn't trying to help the
office of defense transportation.
He just didn't care for spring
training and reported late, getting
only nine days of conditioning.
But he was in mid-season form
yesterday, holding the Pirates to
seven scattered singles and a
double at Cincinnati. He walked
only two men. The leading na
tional league pitcher In the earn
ed run department last year with
an average of 2.38, he got off to
a flying start in defending the
mark. Only one man reached
third and only two got as far as
second.
I Trout Is Victor
7 Other pitchers were "on the
' beam" too, yesterday. Paul
(Dizzy) Trout, backed by some
lusty hitting from' the supposedly
anemic Detroit Tigers, shut out
the Browns at St. Louis, 11 to 0.
The Tigers made 21 hits, scoring
three runs in the first inning off
Brownie Ace, Jack Kramer, to
make Trout's work easy.
Russ Christopher of the ath
letics had to go 12 innings at Phil
adelphia before winning a duel
from Washington's 40-year-old
John Niggeling, 1 to 0. Niggel
ing had a shade the better of it
until the 11th when he went out
for a pinch hitter, giving up only
five hits to seven for Christopher.
The Yankees for the second
straight day used a big inning to
beat the Boston Red Sox at New
York, scoring five in the third p
make it easy for Hank Borowy,
.In a 6 to 2 triumph. Borowy
1 would have had a shutout but
"or an-error in the eighth which
set up two tallies.
Dodgers Beaten
At Brooklyn, the Philadelphia
Phillies also used a five run inn
ing to beat the Dodgers. 6 to 2.
The rally in the fourth inning
gave Dick (Kawpie) Barrett a
- good working margin and he had
little difficulty thereafter, no
Dodger player getting more than
one hit.
Manager Mel Ott's single in the
ninth started the New York
Giants off to a game winning four
run rally against the Braves at
Boston. The little pilot got three

The Deschutes river was high

Chicago, April 19 (in In a com
plete reversal of form pitcher
Mort and catcher Walker Cooper
of the St. Louis Cardinals went
quietly back to work today after
each had presented his argument
for a $3,000 raise to baseball's
front office.
Their requests for $15,000 sal
aries were taken under advise
ment yesterday by Leslie O'Con
nor, chairman of the baseball ad
visory council, after he conferred
with them for 90 minutes.
Following the conference, O'
Conner said he would consider the
Cooper brothers' case for a couple
of days and might talk by long
distance telephone to president
Sam Breadon of the Cardinals,
who steadfastly has refused to
meet his two stars' demands.
Up To O'Connor
When asked what they would
do if their salary demands were
not met, Mort said, "We will abide
by whatever Mr. O'Connor de
cides to do. We have submitted
our case to him. That's enough."
The Coopers' action was in de
cided contrast to their perform
ance of five days ago when they
walked out on the Cardinal team
and announced that they were
going to quit baseball for another
profession unless their wage de
mands were satisfied.

(tlnltal Preu Kuoru Ediur)
New York, April 19 U'i A timid
youth of 15 stepped out of a taxi
cab In midtown Manhattan look
ing for John J. McGraw.
He was directed to the offices
of the New York Giants where he
learned that McGraw already had
left for the Polo Grounds. So the
kid, a little scared of the big city
after living in Louisiana, started
out to find a subway. He found
one, but instead of winding up at
the Polo Grounds he found he was
at Coney Island.
it was the first lime he had
been lost. It was also the last.
For since that September day in
1925, Melvin Thomas Ott has been
doing considerably more than all
right.
He found his way back to the
Polo Grounds that day and finally
presented the letter he was bear
ing to McGraw, then managing
the Giants. The letter was from
one of McGraw's friends and rec
ommended the bearer as a com
ing major league baseball pros-
peer.
"What position do you play?"
McGraw asked the Louisiana boy
who wasn't to be 16 until the fol
lowing March.
"I'm a catcher," Ott replied.
"Did you ever play the out'
field?" McGraw asked.
"Yes sir." Ott shot back, "when
I was a kid."
He's played a lot of outfield
since then so much that almost
every time he goes to but he sets
a new record. And to the thou
sands who know him, to the mil
lions who have seen him play, to
the men who go all out for him on
the diamond every day, and the
thousands or service men he en
tertained during his tour of the
European war theater last winter,
it couldn't happen to a better guy.
His friends are legion and he
nas no enemies, not even among
tno major league umpires. And
through all those years he's re
mained pretty much the same kid
mat nit Manhattan that day car
rying a-straw suitcase. His chief
worry now is the Giants and their
bid for the 1945 National league
pennant, but his thoughts are still
pretty much with those service
men.
"I just couldn't help from get
ting lumps In my throat when I
saw those kids in hospitals," Ott
explained. "Baseball seemed pret
ty far away, and not very im
portant." '
But another season has started
and Ott is buck at his same old
stand. When he went to bat at
Boston Tuesday It marked the
20th consecutive year he lias been
wmi tne same club a new Na
tional league record. And every
time he draws a base on balls,
bats in a run, gets a hit, hits an
extra base or scores a run he
sets a new life-time record and
the old one, of course, is his own.
In all he set six on opening day.
He broke four more yesterday.
Now he's shootlng for his first
pennant since he took over the
helm of the Giants in 1942. He'd
gladly trade in all his records for ,
that flag. He wants it to keep his
record always coming through
for the lute John J. McGraw. .
