Holdout Jeff Heath Leaves
War Plant To Open Season
With Cleveland Team
INDIANAPOLIS, April 12 (AP)
Twenty-four hours ago Roy Cul
lenbine and Rookie Hnnk Ed
wards were the only outfielders
in the Cleveland Indians' camp
and Manager Lou Boudreau had
disclosed he would open the
American league season with a
pitcher in left field if necessary.
He had decided that Al Mil
nar, Allie Reynolds and Steve
Gromek would alternate, de
pending on whether a left or
right-handed hurler was facing
the tribe.
Today Boudreau could boast
of four fly-chasers a situation
which, in the case of the Indians,
virtually amounts to an over
abundance of manpower.
First came the announcement
that Holdout Jeff Heats had left
a Seattle shipyard for the ball
yard. The hard-hitting gardener
agreed to terms in a long dis
t a n c e telephone conversation
with Vice President Roger Peck
inpaugh. Peckinpaugh ind i c a t e d the
management had increased its
salary offer, but that the figure
agreed upon represented a com
promise. It was believed to be
$12,000 as compared to the $15,
000 Jeff received last year.
The tribe official said Heath
probably would join the team in
Dayton, O., Thursday, or earlier
if he could obtain an airline res
ervation. Jeff told Peckinpaugh he is in
good shape and has been getting
plenty of batting practice
through a private spring training
program.
The next development was
Oris Hockett's return to camp.
Hockett returned last night after
jumping the team Saturday, but
refused to divulge any reasons
for departure to his home in Day
ton, O.
He said he had planned to re
turn Saturday night but that the
illness of his father, whom he
said had double pneumonia,
forced him to stay.
"I'm anxious to play ball," was
Hockett's only comment as he
came back.
Boudreau evidently plans no
disciplinary measures for he an
nounced that Hockett would be
in left field today when the tribe
meets the Cincinnati Reds at
Fort Benjamin Harrison.

Junior American Legion
Baseball Needs Support
And Klamath County Needs Ball Clubs
To Develop Its Younger Generation
By VIRGIL GROSS
Whether, or not Junior American Legion baseball will bo
played In the state of Oregon In 1943 is unknown, and it seems
as though nothing is being done toward its continuance.
L. H. Gregory wrote a very interesting article last Friday
in his column on legion ball which should stimulate some action
in legion circles throughout the state. Greg pointed out that
nothing in the way of organizing
was about time something isl
done about it. This will be one
year when semi-pro baseball will
be curtailed by the lack of play
ers due to the draft, and Legion
ball will be just the ticket for its
replacement, since those playing
it would be under draft age.
Semi-pro baseball in Klamath
Falls has been the only kind of
baseball entertainment known to
the many fans in the city for
many years, but this year it is
doubtful whether it can contin
ue because of player shortage; so
why not have Legion ball to sup
plant semi-pro ball this summer?
Too much young baseball talent
has been lost already in this city
and it's about time something is
done to bring it back.
Many major league ball play
ers got their start playing Le
gion ball; namely, Joe Gordon of
the Yanks; Johnny Pesky, for
merly of the Red Sox; Jack Wil
son of the Red Sox and Verne
Olsen, formerly of the Cubs.
There may be some potential big
leaguers right in our own back
yard but how is anybody going
to find them if they don't get the
same chance of young boys in
other cities throughout the na
By The Associated Press
MUNCIE, Ind. The Pitts
burgh Pirates got the day off to
day after lurching out of their
spring-long batting slump and de
feating the main forces of the De
troit Tigers, 13 to 2. A game was
carded with the Louisville col
onels today but Manager Frank-
ie Frisch cancelled it and gave
his team a vacation.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. Bob
Johnson, Washington's slugging
left fielder, still has Manager Os
sie Bluege believing that his
newest acquisition will provide
the needed punch for the Sena
tors this season. Johnson got 3
for 6 two of them doubles and
batted In four runs as the Sena
tors unleashed a five-run flurry
in the seventh to beat the Inter
national league Orioles, 12 to 6,
at Baltimore Sunday.
BOSTON The Boston Red
Sox returned from a week-long
barnstorming tour today in time
for a brief workout that was pre
ceded by a skull session during
the train ride from New York.
Manager Joe Cronin said the
club showed a weakness at the
plate and poor base running
against the New York Giants in
Sunday's defeat. The Sockers
play Boston college Tuesday and
Harvard on Thursday.
NEW YORK The New York
Yankee speedsters, George Stlrn
weiss and Roy Weatherly were
n't swift enough for the Brook
lyn Dodgers as the American
leaguers lost their third straight
to the national loop nine Sunday.
Stirnweiss, who swiped 73 bases
last year In the international
loop, was thrown out on a bunt
and Weatherly was caught
stealing.
BROOKLYN The Brooklyn
Dodgers, winners of three
straight over the New York
Yankees, still were talking about
Arky Vaughan's glittering play

and that it
tion. It has been ten or eleven
years since Legion baseball was
played in Klamath Falls. Why it
has not been played since then is
not known.
Since many of the boys' par
ents are working thus leaving
them alone this should give
them recreation during the sum
mer months and keep them in
good physical condition.
Because of the lack of gas
many people will have to seek
entertainment at home. Legion
ball should serve the purpose
very well, and parents who have
boys old enough to play will get
the thrill of seeing them in ac
tion. There should be plenty of
sponsors in Klamath Falls since
so many people are interested in
its return. As far as that goes all
local business concerns could
back it, and thus would not over
burden one separate sponsor.
The boys of Klamath Falls will
welcome the return of Junior
American Legion baseball to this
city. So let's not let the boys
down. Let's do all in our power
to see that they get Legion ball

Young Mermaids With 43 Point Total
Bv CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
CHICAGO, April 12 (!) It was an unusual alght.
On the edge of tho swimming pool, so happy that lie almost
fell In, was Jack Cody a small, heavy-set man of about 83. Sur
rounding him wero four pretty girls, trying to hoist him to their
ouldeis. Whon they failed, each plunled a nice kiss on his
leathery cheek.
All this was a colorful oplnodo at the conclusion of tht ,.nr
dnv national AAU senior women's Indoor swimming meet yestor-

ages were 17, were the sole
members of Cody's Multnomah
club team of Portland, Ore.,
which swlrlud away to the toatn
championship with 43 points to
31 for the second placo Riviera
club of Indianapolis.
Although Cody had coached
Multnomah 30 yoars, ho never
bobbed up with a team title un
til his "flashy foursome" lassoed
It for him. If ever a man de
served those kisses as an anti
climax, Cody was the one.
With promedltation, he an
nounced simply:
"Fine bunch of girls I got. Yes,
sir!" ,
They won five championships.
