Johnny Vander Meer, 23
Year-Old Southpaw Turns
Trick for Second Time in
Row Ninth Inning Tense
By RID FKDER
(Associated Press 8vrts Writer)
Johnny Vander Meer moved Into
baseball's hall oi fnme last Saturday.
Now he owns It. .,
The Cincinnati Red' 2S-year-old
southpaw flreballer. In his first full
year In the major leagues, reached
a new all-time pitching high last
night In Brooklyn by hurling his
second no-hlt, no-run game In a
row.
That's something not even the
Mathewsons, the Johnsons, the
Youngs ever did.
Twlro In Four Days
In all baseball history, only ten
pitchers ever have turned In two
no-hlt games over their entire ea- j
reers. none ever naa come inrougn
with two In one season.
And now, along. comes young John
ny, who started his baseball In i
church league near his home In
Midland Park, N. J., and then was
given the go-by from three big
league clubs, to toss two no-hltters
In two consecutive appearances U
In the sosce of four days.
Last Saturday, pitching against
the Boston Bees, he hurled the
first nlne-lnnlng National league
no-hltter since Daffy Dean turned
the trick In 1834. Last night, he
repeated against the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 6-0, before a sellout crowd
of 38,748 which packed Ebbets Field
to see major league night ball Inau
gurated In the metropolitan area.
F.lght Walked.
Eight nun reached base, all on
walks, as his mates fielded perfectly
but Johnny pitched his way right
out of every pinch. Even In the
ninth when, with one out, he loaded
the bases on consecutive walks to
Babe Phelps, Cookie Lavagetto and
Dolph Camllll. the Dodgers' "mur
derers' row," he got hold of his
control again to finish the Job. In
that spot, he forced a runner at
the plate for the second out and
got Llppy Leo Durocher to fly to
center on a two-and-two pitch to
end the game.
Except for that one Inning, only
one other Brooklyn runner got aa
far as second base against the six
foot, 190-pounder and his fireball.
as he posted his seventh win of the
year sgulnst two defeats.

Don t look now, and don't even

friends lest you want to get laughed
out of the county, but there la the

to place his
world's J u n 1 o
h e a v ywelght
wrestling title on
the block against
SocJceye Jack Mc
Donald right here
In Medford In

ture.
Mlly Rale
Promoter Mack
biTiard didn't
even want to talk much about It yes
terday when this writer broached the
subject, explaining that it was such
a long-shot possibility that It might
be better to wait until negotiations
were further along and not take the
chance of disappointing hundreds of
fans by falsely arousing their en
thuslasm. However, tho Impresario
did admit that he waa going to do
all In his power to promote the scrap,
and he mentioned several angles that
would be worked in an attempt to
get Sockeyo a crack at the crown.
Of course, the biggest hurdle stand
lng in the way Is the mutter or do-ro-ml.
Chick, naturally, wouldn't risk his
championship for marbles, and
peclally against' a man of McDonald's
calibre. (Sockeye beat Chick here
Monday In a non-title match, the
second southern Oregon setback for
the champion In three years.) Real
ising' that, Li Hard Is prepared to of
fer the cowboy everything within
reason: to-wlt: a flat ffiOO guarantee
with an option of 30 per cent of the
gross gate.
Llllard Is trying to arrange the
match for July 11, at a, grand open-
air Inaugural under the stars at the
high school stadium, and to sweeten
the pot for Chick he is toying with
the Idea of taking off $100 from the
June 30 and June 27 armory cards
and throwing that sum In along with
the $500 guarantee. So far aa Sock
eye la concerned, he told Llllard he
would wrestle the champion for bare
training expenses, Just to get a crack
the title, donating most of his
share of the purse to Chick. All in
all, Llllard flgurea he can see around
750 to offer Dude.
Now, 1730 can't he considered
exactly marbles, but at that It Is
far below the flguie Chirk Is In
the habit of demanding, and get
ting, when he goes to the pusl
with his dlndem the prize. Chick
has never fought a title match
In southern Oregon, and Llllard
sold that every time the Idea was
suggested to him In I he past, he
quickly stopped all Mich talk by
mentioning Impossible sums of
money.
It Is our opinion that If fans in the
valley will start demanding that
championship match, really put the
pressure on the Cowboy to enter the
arena In a title go with McDonald,
that thore is better than an outside
chance It can be arranged While he
wasn't exactly hopeful, Lllliud ad
mitted that ChVJc might be forced
Into the mat 'h. especially in view ol
that $7fi0 and tne post blllty tl.e op
tionhl 30 per .vrt mlghx run ronsld

such a match would draw at least !,
000 spectators Into the stadium.
Solly Krelger of New York appar
ently Injected himself right Into the
scrambled middleweight picture Tues
day night In Seattle when he battled
Champion Freddy Steele toe to toe for
10 vicious rounds, only to lose the
verdict on what, according to tht
radio Impression of the fight, was one
of those "home town decisions." May
be the announcer leaned over back
wards to paint a word picture of
Krelger s aggressiveness, but It ear
ly sounded like the New Yorker was
handing out Just a little more than
he was receiving from the champion.
Krelger scored in the ninth and
tenth rounds with terrlfflc right
hands to the chin, according to
the announcer by far the hardest
punches landed during the fight,
hut that didn't alter the verdict.
Steele was awarded the decision
and the radio loudspeaker rumbled-anil
roared as the crowd
booed the official outcome. t It
rally sounded like Holly should
have got the nod, or at least a
draw.
Anyway Solly put up a whale of a
battle, and now the busiest weight-
division in the fight game Is even
busier and more hashed up, with no
less than six middleweight right In
the thick of things and all so evenly
matched It would probably take a
modern Solomon to name the best
boy. Yes, there are more great fight
ers In that one division than there
are in any other two, relatively speak
ing, of course.
First, there is the champion. Steele
Next Is Freddy Apostoll. San Fran
ciscan who scored a technical KO
over Steele not long ago In a non
title bout. Then comes Young Cor
bett III, who further complicated the
picture a couple of months ago by
taking a decision from Apostoll. There
Is Al Hoatnk of Seattle, whom nobody
seems to want to fight; Glen Lee,
who lost a pair of hairline decisions
to Apostoll, and lastly Krelger, ap
parently about on a. par with any of
them. Put 'em all In the ring at once
and let the best man win would be
our way to selecting the deserving
champion.
While speaking of middleweight
fighters, here Is some plenty good
news for the hundreds of Ashland
friends of Johnny Shumway, ex-
Southern Oregon Normal school foot
ball fullback, and one of the most
promising battlers In that class In
the country. Shumway has been
taken over by Pop Foster, who man
aged the great Jimmy McLarnln, and
now In Los Angeles learning from
the man generally acknowledged as
one of the smartest In the game.
Mack Llllard, a personal friend of
Foster's, told us the news and cleared
up the mystery of what had become
of Shumway. He said that when
Foster agreed to handle a young
fighter, you could bet dollars to do-
nuts the boxer has what it takes. He
explained that Foster haa plenty of
money laid away and doesn't have to
experiment or gamble on his fighters.
It Is here predicted that It won't
be long before Johnny Shumway Is
right up there at the top, bottling
the Stceles. Apoatolls, Hostaks and
Lees. . And perhaps knocking them
over with, that savage straight right
of his.
