George Eyston on Utah's Bonneville salt beds, awarded the British racing driver 20 new rec- ords. But the records may not stand for long. Ab Jenkins, Ameri- ca's No. 1 auto speed record hold- er, will race over the same gleam- ing surface in an effort to bring all 20 of the marks to an American driver. Jenkins will travel over a cir- cular course. The contest board, the national governing body of auto racing and speed competition, has announced Jenkins will start his assault on the records as soon as possible. He will use a 12-cylinder racing car especially built for the strenuous grind. Eyston and his relief driver bet- [tered all previous records ranging from the 200-kilometer distance criterion to the 5-hour mark, and including records for 5,000 and 10,- | 000 kilometers. One of the records beaten by Ey- ston — that for 500 kilometers— formerly was held by Jenkins.

Weatherly defends himself against the charge that he is over- anxious at the plate. True, he does go after a ball that is a bit wide now and then but that is only be- cause he learned from bitter ex- | perience that the umpires in the | Southern Association are prone to give the pitchers the benefit of any doubt and unless a batter swings at anytling close he is likely to be | called out. Ylhe American League is far superior to the minor league grade, he is inot afraid to look 'em over. The fact that last season, with New Orleans, he walked only 13 times Roy thinks is sufficient evidence to show that it is a case of swing lor sit down. The “Texas Terror” Weatherly came to Cleveland with only two years of professional ex- perience. He was born in Warren, Tex., twenty years ago and learned |nhis baseball on Warren sandlots. (He was an all-around player in those days, taking a fling at out- fielding, infielding and going be- hind the plate. He made his bow in professional ranks in 1934 when he got a job in the Evangeline |League. Last year he was with New Orleans, where he set the Southern Association on fire. | He broke an arm last May. Two days after he returned to the line- up Cleveland picked him up. And in the short time he has been in the big time Weatherly has shown enough to stamp him as a potential star. One of the impressiye things {about the youngster is his willing- | ness to listen to advice and to study |ways and means of overcoming his | faults. Lefthanders bothered him | when he first played in the South- ern Association. He readily admits that. But he didn’t let it worry him. He simply figured that he would work out a way of hitting the southpaws as well as the right- handers if given the opportunity to face them regularly. The Southern Association is an ideal spot to get plenty of work against wrong-siders, for almost ev- ery team in the circuit has at least two lefthanded pitchers. Before his first year of service was over Weatherly stood up and took his cut against the southpaws' offer- ings with as much confidence as l : SOUTH-PAWS ____cp s Now convinced that umpiring in | |when a right-hander was | them up. ‘ Hubbell Over Dean? George Tucker, a rabid Giant rooter if ever there was one, is dis- gusted with all this chatter about Dizzy Dean being the greatest pitcher in the National League. “Why don't you forget Diz for a tossing moment and take a look at what) has been doing?" George wants to know. “Carl has| | Carl Hubbell the best earned run average in the National League. That's what real- ly counts. “If the Giants gave Hubbell any- thing like the number of runs the { Cardinals give Dean to work on,| Carl would have half a dozen more \victories to his credit. But they {don’t. That’s why Hubbell has to {come mighty close to pitching shut- out ball to win. In his last 32 and two-third innings on the mound ,Carl has allowed exactly two earn- | ed runs. “His recent victory over Dean and the Cardinals was his 13th of | Ithe season and his third in five days. He has lost six games this year. He'll top 20 victories before |they ring the curtain down on this season—you can bet on that. } “The records may not give Carl an edge over Dizzy right now, but they will before long. Carl is his old self again, and that means hei is as good, or maybe a little better, | than any pitcher in the National| League. Forget Dean for a while| and keep an eye on Hubbell.” ARG RS Jean Parker is learning short-| hand so she can work with her| writer husband, George MacDonald.

It is said that in Cincinnati, for example, three different sets of ground rules already have been printed this year. More Changes By keeping the ball in play on all overthrows, with the exception of those going into the stands and dugouts or which are irretrievable, it is believed the fielders will be forced to be more alert and that the base runners will be inspired to take more chances. There will be no suspension of play while the runners take the number of bases to which they are entitled, or are held from advancing beyond a re- stricted point; instead, the base runnérs may go as far as they can at their own risk, or the fielders may throw them out if they fail to reach bhages to which, hitherto, they were automatically entitled. walked by: Gray 3, Lowe 6 carned runs off: Towe 2; passed ball: Clark; left on bases, Elks 9; Le- gion 6; time of game: 1 hour 30 minutes; umpires: Hoffman Wil- liams, Shaw.
