RELIEF WORK BUT HE SOON WON THE RIGHT TO START HIS OWN GAMES HE LOST %l GAMES FOR., THE BROWNS IN AND LED THE LEAGUE IN LOSSES SPORT SLANTS When Bump Hadley was tolling to | zet in shape last spring most ob-| servers would watch his efforts, | shake their heads and walk away| mumbling something or other. A| few spoke right up with the opin- ion that Mahager Joe McCarthy was loading a lot of dead wood on| the Yankees. How could Hadley be of any possible help to New York after Washington had given him up? they asked. He had been with the White Sox and the Browns and about the best that could be said of Bump was that he was a most willing worker. McCarthy had other ideas. He felt certain that the veteran, if he would work hard enough to get in shape, would come in mighty handy as a relief pitcher. Most old-tim- ers know all there is to know about pitching. McCarthy reasoned — if Hadley was in shape to get out there and use that knowledge for just two nnings at a time it might mean ball games to the Yankees. Hadley's bow in a Yankee uni- form gave little promise of future usefulness. The Yankees were en- gaging the Athletics in a free-hit- ting game on April 20 when Bump was called into action. When the smoke cleared Hadley’s record showed one loss and no victories. But from that time on until the middle of August Hadley did not suffer a defeat. He boasted a string/ of 11 consecutive victories—the best in the American League this season —on August 15. TAKES SIX FULL GAMES Many of his victories were scored in the relief role, but that matters little for lately he has been start- ing as well as finishing his share of games. Half a dozen of his string were complete games, He has scored over every téam in the circuit ex- cept the Browns. The Red Sox, and the White Sox have each suf- fered three defeats at his hands. In 1932 Hadley earned the dubious honor of losing more games than any other pitcher in the American| League. Toiling for Chicago and| St. Louis, he was charged with 21 defeats. And if this were not bad enough the records added insult to| injury when they showed that Bump topped all other hurlers in the mat- | ter of issuing passes—171 was the| figure. The following year he suf-! fered 20 defeats and again was the most generous hurler in the league when he gave 141 bases on balls. H PAUL DEAN KEEPS WORKING | There is littlé likelihood that Paul Dean will return to service on the mound for the Cardinals this sea- son. But Paul hasn't given up all hope of ‘doing His bit toward ning the pennant. He takes t RELIEF ROLE ! — THE VETERAN NSANKEE HURLER. BOASTS THE LONGEST WINMVING. 93%, workouts each day. When the Cards are traveling, Paul works with the Browns. His ertorts mainly are coniined to keeping in good physical condi- tion. He shags flies in the out- field but, makes no attempt to throw until his workout in the field is over. Then he tosses for about 10 minutes to anyone who hap- pens to be handly — just easy, straight balls. His trouble is not a new one. He had the same difficul- ty two seasons ago, and rest re- stored his arm. He is confident that rest will do the trick again. He goes under treatments daily for the muscular trouble, which seems to have lodged in his shoul- der. He will not listen to any ad- vice that he forget baseball for the rest of the season. Paul insists that his arm is coming around and even talks of getting in there again before the season ends. He laughs at any suggestion that the Cardinals cannot win the pen- nant without him. Of course, he is certain that it would be a breeze for Frankie Frisch’s Gas House gang were he ready to step back and take his regular turn on the mound. They still bave Dizzy— and that means the pennant, as he sees it. Paul has no fear that his big brother is likely to suffer from over- work. They can't overwork old Diz. according to Paul. Dizzy will take them in his stride and win the pen- nant for St. Louis, just like that, he warns all other contenders. - FARMERS DEFY STRIKE GROUP MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 28.— A Farmer group issued an ultimat- um today that they will “make de- liveries and in no case permit Com- munist leaders of the Truck Driv- ers’ Union to stop us.” The whole- sale grocery drivers are striking for higher wages and shorter hours. - OHIO NETS $3,929 COLUMBUS, O, Aug. 28.—Ohio State University made profits of $3,929 on athletics during the 12 months ending June 30.
