Bobo Suspended
For Refusal to
Take Choo Choo
Washington, July 15 (U.R)
Washington Senators President
Clark Griffith today blasted Bo
bo Newsom's minor league walk
out as "the same old story" and
vowed the ponderous pitcher
had thrown away his last chance
to return to the big time.
Newsom, the wandering min
strel of the ball yards, claimed
there wasn't any future in mi
nor league ball despite his 10
Southern Association victories
this season. He refused to board
a train with his Chattanooga
teammates yesterday, and was
promptly suspended indefinitely
by the Senator farm club.
Griffith, long a friend and pa
tron of the veteran hurler, said,
"i ve wasnea my hands of him,
1 don't want any part of Bobo
after the way he did.' .
"It was the same old story.
He did the same thing to Connie
Mack of the Philadelphia Ath
letics." Actually, Griffith said, Bobo
tossed away his chance for a
possible return to major leagues
in the near future. The Sena
tors had been thinking only a
week ago of pulling Newsom up.
"But that's out now," Griffith
insisted.

compares with southpaw pitcher Johnny Antonelli and catcher

looked impressive. Antonelli, the $75,000 bonus kid from
Rochester, N. Y., turned in two brilliant wins in June. He
blanked the Cubs on June 12 with four hits, 2-0, and seven
days later turned back the Reds, 3-2, on eight hits. Crandall,

Standing unsteadily near the
smouldering embers, all that re

er fine horses, Copperlight
luonea as inougn death was h

Today, however, the stalwart
pacer is sound as any horse
could be and the only clue of
the tragic fire is a scar on his
len nank.
Yet, for days, he hovered
close to death. Even breathing
was a struggle. But his coura
geous heart continued fiehtino-
That, together with the skill of
man's medicine and wonderful
recuperative powers, saw Cop
perlight through. Smoke dam
age to his lungs proved the
greatest threat to recovery, and
Dr. V. C. Fabian, the Raceway's
veterinarian, pumped heavy do
ses of penicillin into the horse,
to ward off pneumonia.
Slowly but noticeably, Cop
perlight summoned back his
strength, eating lightly at first
and then with considerable vi
gor. Trainer Aubrey Rodney be
gan to jog him easily when he
appeared strong enough, finding
the horse's wind surprisingly
good.
Under the careful, patient
grooming of George Leggett
and Martin Gibbqns, Copper-
light s burns were healed and
only the scar on his flank, ac
tually a badge of rare courage
remains as a stark reminder of
the fire.
At first, it was decided that
Copperlight would be raced this
season at the Saratoga oval. La
ter, when Copperlight display
such promise in training, it was
decided not to take a chance on
hampering his future. Thus,
Copperlight has been moved to
his owner's farm where he can
romp to his heart's content for
a year and absorb more strength.
When he finally races for the
first time, he will have a consid
erable following. His backers
feel that a horse with a sire
named Torchlight and a heart
that conquered death cannot be
anything but outstanding.
BIG, COLD DRINKS '
own lineup, something that was
in doubt in 1947 when Shotton
nurriedly accepted the job as
interim manager after Leo Dur
ocher was supended by Commis
sioner A. B. Chandler. Shotton
was unfamiliar with the league
and its personnel. He had to
rely on his coaches and Rickey's
uncanny knack for spotting the
minute flaws in the Dodger
team.
In 1948 when Durocher was
reinstated and returned to man
age Brooklyn there still was
some doubt about whether Leo
or Branch ran the day-to-day
controls. Leo, of course, was
giving the hit and run and steal
signals but some writers had the
suspicion that Rickey was pick
ing the lineups and sometimes
the pitchers.
When Durocher left Brooklyn
last July to become manager of
the Giants the suspicion that
Rickey was running things in
Ebbets Field still remained.
But now with Durocher solid
ly planted as manager of the
Giants under a new three-year
contract running through 1951,
the baseball experts are begin
ning to notice that it must have
been Lippy who was running
the Dodgers all the time.
The changes he has made in
the Giant team are remindful
of the alterations he used to
make with the Dodgers.
When you go to the Polo
Grounds these days you
really must depend on the
scorecard seller's axiom
"You can't tell the players
without a scorecard."
Leo has used so many
different lineups this year
By FRANK ECK
that he must be picking
them out of a medicine
bottle. You know, the one
one that says "shake well
before using."
Branch Rickey has been
blamed for a lot of things in
Brooklyn but when it comes
to shaking up a team Durocher
is in a class by himself.
In the Giants' first 65 games
this season, Lippy has used 37
lineup combinations. Only Sid
Gordon and Bob Thomson have
played in every game. All the
others have been benched for
light hitting at one time or another.
Despite the fact that the
Giants were only seven games
out of first place at the end of
June, Durocher had employed
14 different double play com
binations. Half the season is
gone and nobody seems to know
from day to day what players
will handle the important short
stop and second base positions.
The writers with the team just
shake their heads as new double
play combinations attempt to
get acquainted.
Buddy Kerr, a good short
stop but often in Durocher's dog
house, has played beside five
different second basemen. Other
Giant shortstops have been Bill
Rigney, Jack Lohrke who also
plays second base or third base
and Dick Culler. Each of
them has teamed with three dif
ferent second sackers.
It's a good thing Frankie
Frisch left the Giant coach
ing lines to become Chicago
Cub manager. If he were
still a Giant he might be
Leo's shortstop tomorrow.
It's tough to be old . . . it's tough to be poor . . . but
it is really tough to be old and poor at the same time.
