Professional Baseball in Tixzy
Over Signing of Woman Player
Columbui. Ohio (U.R
George M. Trautman, presi
dtnt of the minor leagues,
rulod Monday that no minor
league club can sign a woman
player. He said Baseball Com
missioner Ford Frick shared
the same view.
Harrisburg, P a. (U.R)
because there is "nothing about
sex in the rules," organized base
ball was in a tizzy Monday over
Mrs. Eleanor Engle, a willowy
24-year-old brunette who 19 the
first woman ever to sign a bona
lide contract in professional
ranks.
Mrs. Engle, a choke-hitting
inficlder who signed with the
Harrisburg Senators of the Class
B Interstate League Sunday,
touched off a cross-country con
troversy immediately following
her first workout with the club.
Statements regarding her eli
gibility in organized ranks flew
thick and fast.
Pilot Storms
"She'll play when Hell freezes
over," stormed Harrisburg Man
ager Buck Etchison whose club
is in seventh place.
Dr. J. D. Smith, club president
and General Manager Howard
Cordon differed with Etchison,
however.
"She looks pretty good," both
agreed.
They added, however, that the
132-pound Mrs. Engle, who is a
stenographer with the Pennsyl
vania State Public Utilities Com
mission office here during the
daytime, will not appear in the
Harrisburg lineup until her con
tract, which reportedly calls for
a salary of between $250 and
$300 a month, is formally ap
proved by the office of Minor
League Commissioner -George M
Trautman in Columbus, Ohio.
Sex Not In Rules.
Bill Veek, prank-loving owner
of the St. Louis Browns who in
troduced a midget into his
team's lineup late last season,
said he would never try to sign
a woman as a professional player
but indicated that Harrisburg
could get away with the move.
"There's nothing about sex in
the rules," Veeck said.
Mrs. Engle, who seemed some
what frightened by the furore
she caused, wasn't too talkative,
lending belief to reports that her
entrance into organized ball was
merely a publicity stunt.

In order to win a place at
shortstop with Harrisburg she
would be obliged to oust regular
shortstop Hal Isreal, who, with a
.409 batting average, is one of
the outstanding hitters in the
league.

Titles are frequently challenged . . . those who
"thought" they owned the property are often
the losers. Play safe... protect your ownership

White Sox Sprinting
For Top in League
By United Press
For awhile it looked like those
high speed go-go White Sox were
going, going, gone in the Ameri
can League race, but they picked
up their second wind and were
sprinting for the top Monday.
Since May 7 when they were a
sad seventh in the American
League race, they have whizzed
past everybody but the Yankees.
Monday they were In second
place, two games behind the
New Yorkers after getting rid of
a defeatist complex.
Tune Changed
For if it were not for the Yank
ees, they would be in tne leaa
now. Prior to the week-end ser
ies in Chicago, they had lost
seven In a row to the Yankees
and Manager Paul Richards had
predicted that the Bombers def
initely would go on to win their
fourth straight pennant. Now
he has changed his tune and
thinks the Sox could go-go-go
right to the top themselves.
They gained a split Sunday,
beating the Yankees, 2 to 1, on
Marvin Grissom's seventh hitter
as Sherman Lollar drove in both
runs with a double, his second of
the game, and a long fly, after
New York won the opener, 3 to
