Giant Rookie Homers With Bases Loaded to Defeat Dodgers, 6-4

DUNG MARSHALL
IS SENSATION OF
NATIONALLEAGUE
Joe DiMaggio Belts In Five
Runs As Yanks Trim New
som Cards Lick Cubs.
By Judson Bailey
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
The rookie who has made
probably the flashiest debut in
the major leagues this year is
Willard Marshall, an unheralded
outfielder of the New York
Giants, whose story is one of
baseball's strange interludes.
When he based a terrific belt
into the upper rightfield stands
at the Polo grounds for a home
run with the bases loaded to
beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 6-4
yesterday, a lot of people began
wondering who he was and
where he had been.
The big, rangy youngster has
been in organized baseball only
two years both of them with
the Atlanta Crackers of the
Southern association. As a kid
fresh out of Wake Forest college
he was something of a sensation
nis first season, getting 14 home
runs and batting .314 in 1940.
Highly Praised
Finally the Giants took him
to camp on a basis of no down
payment and $30,000 if they
kept him. Mel Ott took a quick
look at the recruit in Miami and
made him a regular outfielder,
first in center and eventually in
left. All the scouts who saw
the Giants were loud in his
praise and he has come right up
to the National league competi
tion with flags flying. He made
two hits opening day and fol
lowed with the crushing blow
that downed the Dodgers in the
fifth inning yesterday.
Another New York club col
lected a dividend on a big in
vestment yesterday at Washing
ton, where Joe DiMaggio led the
Yankees to a 9-3 triumph over
the Senators.
DiMaggio wangled contract
for $42,000 out of the world
champions last month to become
the highest salaried player in
baseball. To show why he is
worth it he hit his first home
run of the year with two on in
the fifth and added a double and
a single to drive in a total of
five runs. This assault spoiled
the return of Washington's pro
digal pitcher. Bur Newsora.
Another important home run
of the day was delivered by a
rookie trying to make good !
Shortstop Vernon (Junior) Steph
ens of the St. Louis Browns, who
connected with two aboard in
the ninth inning at Chicago to
whip the White Sox, 6-9.
York Hits nomir
Rudy York homered with one
on and Paul (Uiziy) Trout
hurled seven-hit ball as Detroit
crushed Cleveland 6-2, and Joe
Dobson pitched the Boston Red
Sox to a 3-1 victory with a six
hit job on the Philadelphia Ath
letics. In the National league the St.
Louis Cardinals turned the
tables on the Chicago Cubs 4-2
as Harry Gumbert distinguished
himself with a four-hit pitching
performance. The Pittsburgh
Pirates solved Elmer Riddle
with a five-run raid in the first
inning and won 6-2 on six-hit
pitching by Lloyd Dietz. The
Boston Braves punished the
Philadelphia Phils by the same
score with Jim Tobin hurling a
steady eight-hit game and hitting
a two-run homer.

More Grid Versatility Seen
As One Result Of Conflict
By Fred Hampson
Associated Press Staff Writer
One effect of the war on football if there is any football
(the wholesale departures from coaching jobs makes a guy
wonder if the coaches themsolves are beginning to doubt it)
will be emphasis on versatility.
This according to a recent ,
remark oy Coach Lon Stiner of
Oregon State. With the amount
of talen sharply trimmed by
enlistments, draft and war Jobs
he grid tutors will have to
make what is left go farther.
predicted Stiner. The coach who
can develop and utilize to the
highest degree will suffer the
least.
One commentator sees In this
full use of all talents a chance
for a revival of the old-time star.
the one-man team. It has been
the fashion of late to stress the
team. The individual, regard
less of how. brilliant an indi
vidualist, converted himself in
to a cog insofar as his brilliance
and individualism permitted
Some of them never could be
come complete cogs being too
good as soloists but that was
the idea.
Now the trend will be toward
letting the individual flower to
the full. This isn't to say there
won't be plenty of team play,
but no star will be squelched
by routine if the coach can
help it.
Stiner predicted among other
things that player shortages
would force varsity aspirants
to learn more than one position.
Backfield men can expect much
juggling around, each taking
turn at ball carrying, blocking.
and other heavy duty billets
The boys will have to learn the
plays from two or more posi
tions which will give the kid
with the most savvy and best
memory a considerable bulge.
