It’s ‘hitting, and some of thefr drives this season have been bringing blushes s«:, sluggers. By LOREN DISNEY (Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—The old 4days when a pitcher Infged a bat up, to the plate merely for a bit of | mild exercise are passing in these days when ball players like everyone else are putting on nxtra pressure to stick on a payroll. The fact that a number of mod- erh hurlers are taking a hefty cut | atithe ball was brought shagrply. tq atfention- the other day when Red Ruffing slammed a ' home run in me tenth inning to beat the Sen-‘ fors, 1-0. The' big Yankee car- | t top gathered three hits dutingi gc game, equal to the entire Wash- ingion collection. $+Ruffing frequently has been used as a pinch hitter on a club as pow- | ,exful as the Yankees, but even so| there are several other hurlers in the American League as dangerous | at the plate. The National league\ likewise has pitchers who are con- sidered anything but a “soft touch” | when waving a bat. { Montie Weaver, ‘Washington’s jsensational rookie, has been hailed s one of the pitching finds of the year, but it is not so well known that he has a batting aver-| tage that many an alleged heavy {hitting outfielder would envy. While the has been rolling up some 20, Jvictories, Weaver’s batting average, vhas been in the neighborhood of 4.348. He has driven home more] fthan a dozen runs. » Clint Brown and Wes Ferrell of ‘the Cleveland Indians have fur-/ ‘Qn:shed the Tribe a line-up of nine| ‘hitters when pitching this season. . Brown has heen particularly dan-‘ i gerous with men on base, and Fer-| rell still is the slugger that once lalmost got him converted into an| 'outrrlder George Uhle of the| ¥ Tigers is used as a pinch hitter. Red Lucas of the. Cincinnati, is one: of the_ t effective itters in the ong . pitchers, ou ve you.- Ths Brg 50 have @ collec ho cin -do their i pinch - hit- ting, including Joe Shaute, Fred Heimach and Hollis Thurston. Freddy Fitzsimmons of the Giants brings opposition to” the plates and Dizzy Dean of the Cards gives promise of becoming ‘a real. hitter. This matter of pitchers hitting s not a 1932 invention—Babe Ruth was a pitcher and something of a hitter — but seldom have they been in such profusion. The boys/ are in there swinging for that dough. | Pampered Pelican Colony Forgets Art of Fishing SANTA MONICA, Cal, Sept. #i3—Fed for years by surplus fish caught by coass fishermen, peli- =gans of Santa Monica bay are be- )‘n‘ed to have forgotten the art of catching their own food. !
