It was there that he set a Coast league record of 60 home runs in one season and was eyed by Ihe major league Yankees, who purchased him for cash and five players. Lazzeri starred with the Yan kees for 12 years and in addi tion to Ruth and Gehrig, num bered among his teammates Frank Crosetti, Herb Pennook, Bill Dickey, Waite Hoyt and Earls Combs.

Next Jump Vexes Owen ST. LOUIS, Aug. 8 VPh Mickey Owen, former Brooklyn catcher who jumped the Dodgers for Mexican gold and then jumped Mexico, arrived here to day undecided about his next jump. Mickey was supposed to be on his way to Cincinnati to see Commissioner A. B. Chandler about getting reinstated with the Dodgers, but he told reporters that he was contused and aidn t know what he would do next. He was inclined, he said, to can cel the trip to Cincinnati and go instead to his farm home near Springfield. Mo. Owen, obviously contrite as well as confused, said perhaps the best thing to do would be to give up all idea of playing baseball for a time and go back to his farm. "I made a mistake" he said. "I did the wrong thing. I realize it now. If I had stayed another day in Mexico I believe I'd have had a nervous breakdown. I was that close to breaking up.

Hurts Bench Top Players Three Red Sox Keyi Watch From Sideline By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer "Old Man Injury" is in his most merciless mood in many a moon today as one by one, key platers of major league baseball teams join already overcrowded hospital lists. Heading the list of currently ailing non-combatants are such top-notch performers as Bob Feller, Cleveland Indians; Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky and Mike Higgins, Boston Red Sox; Johnny Mize and Buddy Kerr, New York Giants; Johnny Bcr ardino, St. Louis Browns; Pete Reiser and Hurry Lavngctto, Brooklyn Dodgers; Stan Hack, Chicago Cubs and Schoolboy Rowe, of the Phillies. The absence of Williams, Pesky and Higgins is causing no great alarm on the hub front as the American league leading Red Sox have too com manding a lead with the season two-thirds gone. With the New York Yankees' 4-3 defeat by the Senators in Washington last night, the idle Sox increased their margin over their nearest rivals to 13 full games. Higgins Out Longer Besides, Williams, who sat out the last two Red Sox con tests with a run-of-the-mine fever and Pesky, sidelined by a sprained ankle, are both ex pected back within a day or two. Higgins, out with a sprained ligament in his leg, will not be ready for another week, at least. It is an entirely aitierent story with the Dodgers whose National league lead was cut to a mere game and a half last night when the challenging St. Louis Cardinals overpowered the last-place Pirates 8-1 at Pittsburgh. Two of their regu lars. Outfielder Pete Reiser and Third Baseman Harry Lavag- etto are out of action with head and leg injuries, respec tively, while Second Baseman Eddie Stankey, bothered by a foot ailment, is playing on nerve alone. The players are expected back in action soon but it remains to be seen whether their layoff has dimin ished their batting eye. Indians Fall Back The Indians fell three and a half games behind the fourth place Senators when the White Sox overcame a 3-0 deficit to nose out the Tribe 4-3 in Chi cago. Rained out of their game with the Dodgers yesterday, the sixth-place Giants are only three and a half games away from the fourth-place Boston Braves who were washed out of the twin bill with the Phila delphia Phillies. The St. Louis Browns, de spite the absence of Second Baseman Barardino. their lead ing hitter, edged out the De troit ' Tigers 3-2 under the Sportsman's park lights. Rain washed out the sched uled Red Sox-A's doubleheader as well as the Dodgers-Giants contest and the twin bill be tween the Braves and Phillies.
