Our National league scouts report Lopez stands well up at the mp! of any list of newcomers, that he| has had more to do with the sen- sational rise of the Brooklyns than any other individual outside of pos- sibly Glenn Wright at shortstop But Wright does not enter intc this debate since he is distinctly AI veteran. | The Robins uncovered another | new star in Ray Phelps, the right-! hander who has formed a great b with Lopez. Finn and Slade, the keystone kids, also rank among Brooklyn's discoveries. The Boston Braves picked up two able recruits from the Pacific Coast league in Wally Berger, the siege ! gun, and Buster Chatham at third base. Cincinnati acquired an important pitching find in Bennie Frey, also a fine new infielder in Tony Cuc- cinello.® The Phillies picked up a slugging first baseman in Johnl Sherlock and the Pirates bolstered | their initial sack with another re- cruit, Gus Suhr, from the San Francisco Seals. The outstanding “finds” in the American league for 1930 included “Speed” Mahaffey, Portland right- hander with the champion A’s; Tom Oliver, Red Sox outfielder from the Southern Association; Bep Chapman, new Yankee third sacker, from St. Paul; Chief Hog- sett, Detroit’s Indian pitcher; and | Smead Jolley of the White Sox. ‘Taking all factors into considera- tion, Lopez seems to be the out- standing newcomer of the sea- son, with Berger not far behind.’ Lopez can hit at a 350 clip or Better and he is a brilliant work- man behind the plate. In another year, when America canyasses her youth for bettprl material for the Davis Cup battle, the search need to extend no fur- \ther than to Bryan Grant, the “At- Janta atom” and Frank Shields, the ‘all, 19-ye#r-old New York youth who resembles Big Bill Tilden in action as much as Grant does that | other famous figure, Little Bill} !

Thereby he for- feits the chance to renew a duel with Percy Williams of Canada, the Olympic dash king. i ——.e———— | JOHNSTON LIKELY DONE EVEN IN CASUAL TENNIS SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14—Wil- liam “Little Bill" Johnston, former national singles tennis champion and one of the great stars in the | history of the game, probably nev- er will lift a racquet again, even in an, exhibition match.

Mandell is one of the extraordi-) nary characters of the ring. This| black headed Italian youth, a year before he won the championship from Rocky Kansas in 1926 decided | that his father, who had worked| for 20 years in a Rockford foundry, had toiled long enough. Sammy built his father a home and gave him a monthly income. Sammy married a Rockford girl] and built an English type bungalow streets. Then along came Dick to make the love nest complete. | Mandell liked to box but he loathed a certain type of hangers- on who infest gymnasiums. Through the friendship of the late Thomas Sizer, cashier of the Forest City National bank, and Thomas Gill, an attorney, Mandell made wise investments with the money he earned in the ring.
