SKIERS GRAB ROOKIE oF 1936 Sport 'Slmgs In many cases the lads who earn fame by their deeds as big league freshmen find going tough as soph- omores. The explanation is diffi- cult. Perhaps the boys let up once they feel they have made the grade. Chances are their weaknesses have been tabled by the veterans. Last season was particularly bad for the freshman stars of 1935. Cy Blanton had a terrible time early in 1936. The same fellow won 20 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and led the National League in effective- ness when he was the prise rookie pitcher of 1935. Cy could not ex- plain his failures. He seemed to have everything he had had the year. before plus experience. Yet he couldn’t win. The answer probably rested with the swatters, who had grown to know his style and his failings. Blanton wasn’t alone. Clyde Cas- tleman of the New York Giants didn’t look anything like the pitcher he was the year before. Neither did Roy Henshaw. Ed Heusser, Fa- P ville Jorgens, In The American. Too In the American League the sophomore hurlers who had made NATIONAL LEAGUE St AOU/ S bian Kodalik, Gene Schott and Or-| W 1936 hke the best freshman in the Na- uoml League. He hit 329 in 126 'games, won some of them with his 19 home runs. Buddy Hassett of| Brooklyn and Jimmy Ripple of the| Giants were helpful to their clubs as freshmen. Hassett hit 310 in| 156 games, while Ripple hit .305 in; 96. Bob Feller, Cleveland’s rookie hurling sensation, was not up long! enough to be thoroughly tested even as a freshman. He set a new Amer- ican League record when he fanned | 17 A’s and equalled Dizzy Dean's| National strikeout record at the same time. - Sports » . Briefs Veteran Duke Coach Jack Coombs says Ace Parker’s future as a ma- jor league player is dependent upon whether his hitting improves. Mr.| Coombs coached Parker at Duke| University. Tarzan White, star University of ' Alabama guard last year, says he! has signed a contract to play pm-! fessional football next fall with thei New York Giants. Tony Manero is happy with his National open golf title. “It has meant a lot to me,” he declares, “financially and otherwise. You/ know just winning the champion- ship helps one’s game.” names for themselves as freshmen had their own troubles. Johnny Whitehead of the White Sox, Ver- non Wilshire of the A's, Joe Sul- livan of the Tigers—all failed to live up to their freshman promise. Phil Cavaretta of the Chicago Cubs slumped, and Charlie Grimm took over first base. Manager Grimm was so conyinced that Phil was a flash in the pan that he got Jim Collins from the Cardinals to take care of the first-base job this com- ing season. Alex Kampouris and Billy Myers did not live up to their freshman standard. Lew Riggs of the same infield had good and bad days. Terry Moore, Roy Hughes, Mel Almada had difficulties as sophomores. !
