If ever, scintil late on tn. ata mond. In faot. try to name one bona fide all Amerlcan Col lege plgsklnner who moved Into the major league and made good until this year. Many All American foot ball stars have tried it, Larry B e 1 1 s ncourt of St. Mary's, Dixie Howell of Ala bama, Sammy Billy Hnlea Baugh of Texas Christian, to name a few offhand, but all have found big league pitching too. tough and have allpped back Into the minors until this year, Samuel Blake Chapman, the Uni versity of California Rose Bowl hero and unanimous choice on every All Amerlcan football team selected last fall, Is the exception to the rule. Right now. Chapman la being tout ed as the American league's "rookie of the year," and he Is making old Connie Mack feel young again as he clouts homers and steals bases for the Philadelphia Athletics. Ave' rages released In the latest Issue of the Sporting News reveal the Golden Bear Is batting .333, has belted nine round-trlnpers and driven 38 mates across the plate. Unlike most college ball play ers, Chapman reached the big show the easy way. He didn't spend several years In the minors getting polish and acquiring ex perience, but Jumped straight off the Berkeley catnnns Into the midst of the best baseball In the world. And, he was paid an 88300 bonus by Muck to sign a contract. Joe Gordon Provides Spark For Yankees' Big Comeback By Oayle Talbot HEW YORK, July 13. (AP) nie present upswing of tha Mew York Yankees, which has yielded 10 victories in their last 18 starts, with on game tied, can be traced directly to the Inspired batting and fielding of Rookie Joe Gordon at second baas. All the Yanks needed was some one to spark them, and the kid from Chapman, who didn't set his col lege baseball leaguo afire this spring. was reoommended to the Athletics by Ty Cobb, now retired and living hla baseball millions at Ather. ton, Cal. Cobb took several Jaunts to Berkeley to watch the youngster perform, and after seolng plenty he promptly notified his old boss and friend, Connie Mack, That was all Cornelius McOllllcuddv needed, for when the groat Tyrua Cobb tabbed a ball player as having what It takes who could argue or doubt? So now. Sam Is in the big leagues, hla man ager says he looks better right now than Al Simmons did when he broke In, which Is something, and he's sp. parently .on the way to becoming the grcateat football-baseball player in history. Chapman Is another one of those scores of major leaguers who got their atart playing Junior American Legion base ball. He went to high school in Mill Valley, Calif., and It was there that he took part In Junior Legion hall. Ills nigh school coach, by the . way, was Roy Rlegels, the University of California football player who ran the wrong, way In a Koae Bowl game against Georgia Tech. Scores Yesterday National.

SMEAO JOLLEY EPS COAST BATTING IEA0 LOS A NO ISLES, July 13. (P) Smead Jolley. Oakland center fielder, ret r In the lead In Coast league bat ting, figures disclosed todsy, al though Los Angeles pitchers last week reduced hla average by 48 points, Arnold Statu, Angel leftflelder, gained 11 points and Jumped from fifth to second place, while Brooks Holder, Snn Francisco outfielder. dropped nine points and slid from second to third position. BUI Llllard, Seals' shortstop, who waa out of the lineup all lat week, went from third to fourth place, and Frrnchy Uhalt, Hollywood ernter fleldcr, climbed from eighth to fifth place by virtue of an e!iht-po!nt gain. Newark has supplied the spark. In hla last 16 games Gordon has compiled a .450 average, Including five liome runt, four doubles and two triples. Hla 33 hits In that period have knocked across 20 runs. He la tied today with Joe DiMagglo for the club batting lead with a mark of .MS. Slnoe he made his last error on June 25, the boy who filled Tony Lan aerl's shoes has fielded brilliantly, handling 85 chances wlttiout a, bob ble. Joe McCarthy, who was ft little skeptical for a while, now suspects Gordon will develop Into one of the greatest second-basemen ever. ' Tha "flash" deserves e lot of credit for his recent comeback. A month ago the critics has about decided he was the season's price bust. After an un impressive start a slight Injury had put him on the bench, and It didn't look like he would get the splinters out of his pants before autumn. The Yankees were congratulating themselves on having obtained Bill Knickerbocker as "Gordon insurance" at second base. Secretary Ed Bex row aald he thought It was one of the beat deals he ever made. Knick erbocker was going good. But on June 8 Manager McCarthy, evidently figuring the Yanks could not do much worse than they were doing, put Joe back In the line-up and told him to get going. Joe hes itated only long enough to get mar ried, and slnoe then he hasn't looked back. His big bat now la supplying the punch lost when George Selkirk flopped and Fattier Time began whip ping curvea past Lou Gehrig. He's breaking up a ball game about once a week, and these victories supply that little bit of "difference" the Yankees needed. Oscar Vltt aaya his Cleveland club would win the flag easily with Gordon at second, and he probably Is right. Slnoe June 29 Joe has hit seven of hla 10 homeruns. He clouted two at Boston lsst Saturday and drove across two runs with a triple on Sunday. He meets tfie ball with tremendous power. . S. F.-G. P. GALLOP BAN FRANCISCO, July la.-HP) Warmed up by a trifling 109-mlle Jaunt from Truckee to Sacramento, Adam Zlegler, S5-year-old athlete, paused here today preparatory to an attempt to better the walking-run ning record from Ban Francisco to Grants Pass, Ore., via the Redwood highway.

(API Los Angeles' Angels moved Into Sac ramento today with their eyea cocked on first place In the. Pacific coast baseball league. The Sacramento club topa the cir cuit by three gamea. but that Is a bit less than half the advantage it hed before colliding with Los Angeles two weeks ao. At that time the Senators had a seven-game lead. Loa Angeles promptly pinned the Senators' eara back to take seven out of nine games. This week tho Senators will be the host and Loa Angeles the guest and It may be a different atory. Last week the leaders took a series from San Francisco Seals, third place club of the league, who will be enter tained at San Diego, Portland will open at Oakland tonight and Seattle. deadlocked with San Diego for fourth place, moves Into Los Angeles to be entertained by the Hollywood Stars.
