New York, May 17 UP) A nice
gesture toward an old retainer
was paying off today in unex
pected pitching victories for the
New York Giants, now in iirst
place in the National league.
This case of bread cast upon
the waters concerns Frank Shel
lenbach, one - time pitcher who
formerly managed the Giant
farm club at Minneapolis, and
Clint Hartung, the Hondon hur
ricane. .
Shellenbach became ill and had
to give up his Minneapolis post.
And the Giants displayed a heart,
something rare In the baseball
business, by taking him to their
Phoenix, Ariz., spring training
camp for a rest. Shellenbach
wasn't expected to work, but his
eye fell on Hartung.
The six loot, four inch Texan
had come up to the Giants in
1947 billed as the greatest thing
since they wrapped the baseball
in a horsehide union suit. His
running, throwing and hitting
were compared respectively to a
deer, a bullet and a siege gun. It
was just a question whether the
Giants would need eight other
men behind him.
Something Went Wrong
But something went wrong
with the script. Hartung was a
bust as an outfielder and lightly
regarded, after a time, as a pitch
er. Yet, out of sheer desperation,
Manager Mel Ott looked up sud
denly one day during a lost game
and told Clint to "warm up." He
did and pitched six innings of
shutout ball against the Boston
Braves.
So for two seasons, Hartung
labored indifferently as a pitcher.
He had a good fast ball, but that
was all. Still he won nine against
seven losses in 1947 and had an
S-8 -record last year.
And for two years the whole
Giant brain trust had been trying
to teach him how to shrow a
curve. It was strictly no dice.
Then came this spring and the
rest trip for Shellenbach. And
when the old-time pitcher saw
all the things Hartung was do
ing wrong when he tried to toss
a curve, he took the big Texan
in hand and tutored him for three
weeks. He shortened his stride
and showed him wrist snap.
Avid Pupil
"It's up to you now," he final
ly told the mountainous young
man. "I've taught you all I know.
From now on, you re on your
own."
Hartung had been an avid pu
pil. "For two years, everybody was
telling me something different,"
Clint explained. "Shellenbach real
ly set me straight. I've been
straightened away and suddenly

Feature Upsets
In Early Season
New York, May 17 HP) Weird
is the word lor the Iirst month
of the baseball season.
Whoever would have believed
that the world champion Cleve
land Indians would be in sixth
place, or that the Boston Red Sox,
choice of most experts to win
the American league Hag, would
be in seventh?
And who would have made
himself subject to sanity tests
by predicting that the Washing
ton Senators would have the
longest winning streak In their
history, nine games and all of
them on the road ?
What about those proud old
Bronx Bombers, the New York
Yankees? Sure, there Ihey are
in first place and that is a sur
prise in itself since they cer
tainly weren't expected to be up
there without Joe DiMaggio and
Charley Keller. But they're last
in the American league fa home
runs with only in to date and
the last place St. Louis Browns
are first in homers with 27.
Ends on Dizzy Note
The first month ended on a
typically dto.y note yesterday
when the Senators beat the Red
Sox, 3 to 2 in Washington In a
mixedup fmsh that left fans
wondering why the Nats had
won. With two out in the ninth
Sam Mele singled home Tom
O'Brien with what looked to be
the tying taiy, but before
O'Brien crossed the plate, pinch
runner Lou Stringer over-ran sec
ond and was naied for the third
out. Mickey Haef ner, who pitched
a one-hitter against Cleveland In
