The Boston Bees took three play- ers from the minor leagues; Phil- lies, Athletics and White Sox two each; Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs, one apiece. Rupert Thompson, San Diego outfielder, has returned to the White Sox with .327 batting aver- age and collecting 16 home runs during the 1937 Pacific Coast League season. Nino Bon Giovanni, Portland out- fieder, has been drafted by the Cincinnati Reds. Pittsburgh took Pitcher Robert Klinger of Sacramento. - - SPORT SLANTSS Look at the lineup of a pennant w.nner and you will most likely ciscover an outstanding catcher be- Eind*the plate 'Often™he” will' be tie best eatcher in the league It isn't a coincidence. Take this year’s leaders, for example. In the National League, they are the Cubs and the Giants. Chicago has Gabby Hartnett, a veteran of 16 seasons, and still one of the best backstops in the game. A fighter all the way, he is an in- spiration to his teammates. More than that, he has the faculty of coming through with an extra-base hit when runs are needed. The Giants have had fine catch-| ing all season. Gus Mancuso was the mainstay until a broken finger put him out. Manager Bill Terry was forced to gamble on Harry Dan- ning who, except for an occasional relief job, had had little opportun- ity to work behind the plate. Danning needed only this chance at playing regularly to prove he was a high class catcher. Not only did he handle the pitchers well but he also came through with some timely wallops. When Mancusco was ready to return to duty, Terry was hesitant about taking Fred Danning out. And Mancuso, re- member, was rated the ace of the! National League catchers when the Giants won the pennant last sea- son. The New York Yankees have Bill Dickey—a clever catcher, who is at his best when the stakes are high. He was tops in the American League last season. He won the applause of the experts in the 1936 World Series. For nine consecu- tive years he has worked in more than 100 games a season. His life- time average at the plate at the start of the current season was .321. That is about his mark for the cur- rent campaign. Because he happens to be play- ing with Lou Gehrig and Joe Di- Maggio, Dickey does not get his just due as an extra-base hitter. Only these two outrank him in driving in runs for the Yankees. Many a ball game has been put on ice by Diekey after the big guns| of the Yankees had failed to come through. He is the best catcher in the American League right now.
