Tribe Calls
Luke Easter
Cleveland, O. (U.Pf The
Cleveland Indians have recalled
the banished Luke Easter from
Indianapolis and ordered the big
first baseman to join them Tues
day in time for the "crucial"
five-game series with the league
leading New York Yankees.
The Indians sent Easter down
on June 30 in what was regard
ed as a punitive move "to regain
his confidence and batting eye.."
The Giant Negro first sacker's
batting average at the time with
Cleveland was .208 and he had
been guilty of numerous field
ing miscues.
Six' Homers
In 16 games at Indianapolis,
however, .Easter drove in 11
runs, hit six homers and got
16 hits in 46 times at bat for a
.348 average.
"It's entirely up to Manager
Al Lopez to decide whether Eas
ter will play tomorrow night in
New York," General Manager
Hank Greenberg said.
Greenberg watched Easter
play a double-header against
Minneapolis Sunday in Indianap
olis then returned here to an
nounce the return of the errant
player. Easter hit his sixth hom
er with the farm team Sunday.

MAIL TRIBUNE
I ids should prove no exception.
Each year the Davids aim at
a hustling ball club. They build
from an annual spring training
camp such as is held by the ma
jor loop teams. Youngsters get
a chance with the club if they
show the stuff.
Scouts Trail
It is common to find major
league scouts trailing the barn
stormers and many players now
in organized baseball got their
start with the House of David.
The Davids cooperate with or
ganized ball and the team does
not harbor ineligible players. -
Many cities in league ball to
day developed baseball interest
because of the Davids. Many in
dependent crews have looked
for the annual visits of the barn
stormers to take them out ot
the red. The club plays repeat
performances often and contin
ues to draw crowds.
Cubans Coming 1
Medford fans, it is expected,
will get to see 'the Stud's new
pitching acquisition Martjr Hume
from Sacramento State college.
On Friday this week the Studs
will oppose the Havana Cubans,
the players of which have names
that appear to have typographi
cal errors. There are such names
as Armenteros, Sol, Vridiveso,
Dagoberto Nunez and Ibanez.
Last year the team won 79
out of 100 games.

"There were times in the past

Helsinki (U.R) It's "skoal"
today to the Olympic games
and don't think Im kidding.
Without that word, which is
a Scandinavian signal for a
swallow, they probably never
would have been able to get
ths muscle show on the road.
Nor would they be able to keep
it rolling, at least so hilariously.
When Finland began prepar
ing for the international games
which open Saturday, the city of
Helsinki decided u needed a
new airport to handle the traf
fic. Labor was a problem but
not for long.
Drunks Sentenced
The city simply sentenced
drunken drivers to work out
their terms by laboring on the
airstrip. The airport was com
pleted in record time. One of the
alchohol anonymous chain gang
was a vice president of the
city's automobile club.
Water, here, is for washing. I
haven't seen the mayor's coat
of arms, but it . certainly must
be crossed martinis on a field
of mahogany and brass.
The baffling part of the air
port job was how the local gen
darmes could tell which drivers
were drunk. Every Finish mot
orist drives like a blindfolded
Barney Oldfield and the only
sensible way to ride wth him
is with your eyes closed and
your insurance paid.
Adverse to Chasers
Blame it, if you like, on the
national aversion to chasers.
And it rubs pff quickly.
For instance, a concert was
held to inaugurate a restaurant
at the stadium. An Iranian, who
obviously couldn't handle the
local thirst customs, highlighted
the affair by leaping onto a
table and doing an impromptu
Persian buck and wing.
He didn't have a corner on
the market. The French are sup
posed to be pretty fair in the
liquid department but two of
them tangled with the local
thirst-quenching product ' and
