Jeff Heath Returns
To Cleveland Club
By JIM JORDAN
CHICAGO, June 14 (TV-John
Geoffrey (Jeff) Heath is back
with the Cleveland Indians hop
ing to make up for two months
lost in a holdout campaign by
lifting the American league batr
ting crown from the brow of his
boss. Manager Boudreau.
And the big powerful ex
Seattle high schooler may do
just that, too, if he pounds the
ball at the same clip he did last
year. In 1944 he outbit Bou
dreau by four points .331 to
the .327 the Indian man batted
' in winning the title, but he
-played in only 60 . games, not
enough for recognition as batting
king.
"Tve been- working out every
cay at Seattle with coast league
teams and with sandlot teams.
Ail I need to get started now
are a few games against major
league pitching," the husky out
fielder said.
He played his first full game
yesterday since rejoining the In
dians a week ago. He failed to
hit, against three White Sox
pitchers, but the old power that
give him the league lead in
triples twice 1933 and 1941
and earned him batting averages
of .343 in 1938 and .340 in 1941
rtai was apparent. He drove
Johnny Dickshot back against
fhe left field wall to pull down
one long drive.
"See, that's what I mean," he
said. "A couple more games
and rn get to hitting."
But Heath may not be with the
Indians if he does accomplish
what he has set out to do. His
holdout problem, for the most
part, was that he wanted to be
traded to another club.
"Cleveland's park isn't built
for my kind of hitting," he said.
"Most of the others are. The
management promised me they
wymd trade me if they can get a
player, or players, in return that
will strengthen the club. But
they're hard to find now."
The Indians will have to hurry,
however, if they plan to make
any trades, as the deadline for

In Reames
Tournament
The Reames handicap tourna
ment for the President's cup
moved into the final stages over
the weekend and through the
week with eight players left out
of a large field.
The majority of the matches
have been extremely close so
far with few lop-sided victories
being registered. As is to be
expected, some fine golf and
some mediocre divot digging has
been played throughout the
tourney with Carl Woods firing
the best round with a torrid
72.
The following matches should
be played off not later than this
Sunday, according to Tourna

Greenberg May Be Headed
Toward Detroit Outfiold;
York Slaps Out Three Hits
By JACK HAND
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
If Cnpt. Hank Greenhorn is
headed toward the Detroit out
field and Rudy York is going
to start hitting, it's time to rate
Steve O'Neill's Tigers the team
to beat In the American league.
Some already tab the Bengals
as the class of the junior cir
cuit but most fans have been
reluctant to go all out for a club
that leans so heavily on its slim
pitching staff for success.
Although the Tigers lead the
second place New York Yankees
by a full game today, and have
won seven of their last eight.
thr over-all record has been
spotty.
Greenberg Mar Be Released
The case of Greenberg is not
clear although an army spokes
man at Fort Dix, N. J., said yes
terday the former Tiger may be
out of service by tomorrow
night. Neither he nor the De
troit club have indicated an "early
return to the lineup.
Greenberg. 34, has been in
the army since May 7, 1941.
with the exception of an eight
week period in late 1941 and
early 1942 when he was dis
charged as overage but later re
inducted. In his last full season
with the Bengals he hit .340 and
bashed 41 homers. His return
would be the first test of a "big
name" major leaguer attempt
ing to pick up where he left off
in his baseball career.
York Gets 3 Hits
York showed encouraging
signs of ending his season-long
slump yesterday with three hits
for a perfect day against St.
Louis, contributing a three-run
homer, two singles and four runs
batted-in to the leader's 6-4 vic
tory. It was only his third round
tripper of the season and his
average still was a trifling .259.
Starter Joe Orrell was the vic
tor over Nelson Potter, but
neither was around at the finish
Chicago made seven hits count
for a 5-3 decision over Cleve
land, although the Tribe backed
up Steve Gromek with a 14
blow attack on Joe Haynes and
two successors. Gromek's five
game win streak was snapped on
a four-run fourth inning spurt.
ine Yankees and Washington
were not scheduled and a Boston
at Philadelphia night game was
washed out.
Giants Nudge Bums
Brooklyn took another fall
out of the New York Giants, 3-2
pulling into a second place tic
with Pittsburgh, only a half
game off the pace. Hal Gregg
aia a iive-nit job on the leaders
to outpoint Harry Feldman.
Pittsburg and Chicago were idle
yesterday out tne Firatos can
take over first place by win
ning two from Chicago today.
A Bucco split and a Dodger
triumph would put Leo Duroch
er's crew on top.
Two streaks ended as the
Phillies went IS innings to a 5-4
decision that snapped their record-breaking
losing streak at 16
and the Boston Braves' victory
string at nine. Mort Cooper had
copped his sixth in a row in the
opener of the doubleheader with
an 8-3 triumph for the hub.
Veteran Joe Bowman contin
ued to pitch like a champ for
Cincinnati after his discard by
the Boston Red Sox, notching
his third successive decision "for
the Reds by a 2-1 margin over
the St. Louis Cards who hoisted
their world series pennant.

2 Rainiers
Called Up
For Service
PORTLAND. Juno 14 W
The army stepped in yesterday
to whittle away at the strength
of the Seattle Rainiers as they
engaged the Portland Beavers in
their crucial scries for the Pacific
Coast Baseball league lead.
Catcher Bob Finley was called
for army induction, while Out
fielder Jack Whipple also left
with Finley, presumably for an
other physical examination.
Both previously had been re
jected for military service.
With several players injured
the Beaver management still was
undecided on when to set the
extra game made necessary bv
travel delays Tuesday. A double
bill for Friday night loomed as
one possibility although a single
game Monday also was said to
be under consideration.
