v POLLY AND HER PALS WAL, WEASEL - IT, WHY YUH GOSH,T CAN'T ANKLE OFF T! TH' AFFAIR IMM JOE McNAMEE HOLDING DOW! WITH SEATILE Local Ball Player Produc- ing Fancy Stickwork at Anaheim Art McKinnon, pilot or the Moose Baseball Club has been chortling from one end of town to the other over a $1,000 “check” he received as manager of the Moose club from Emil Sick, money-bagger for the Seattle Rainiers who have such high hopes for their new rookie Joe Mec- Namee, former Moose slugger. Art let it be known he was “put- ting the pressure” on Sick for a “pro- per settlement” in the McNamee “purchase.” Sick obliged with a check, but Art hasn't tried to cash it yet, because he has already had a million dollars worth of fun out of reading the clippings of Outside papers on McNamee. Sports writers have high hopes for “Barrel” Joe, who made such a hit with Juneau fans here last vear and led the loop in batting, and Seattle Rainiers manager Jack Lelivelt says 20 year old two hun- dred and some pound Joe is “one swell prospect.” The other day in Anaheim, Cal-| ifornia, where the Rainiers have been working out, McNamee went into the game as a pinch hitter and obligingly patted a single through the infield—which sort of emergency stick work doesn’t hurt the Me- Namee stock in the least—nor does the fact that Joe is poking them far over the center field fence, 436 feet out, hurt any either. Moose manager McKinnon is locking for new equipment for his local ball club for the coming sea- son. It seems as though Emil Sick would kick through with a few uni forms and bats that a lot of his boys won’t need when “Barrel” Joe McNamee gets through showing them how the game is played. -ee CHAMPS AGAIN Is Warmly Welcomed b Players Who Voted Him Out of Big Money By ROBERT MYERS LOS ANGELES, March 30. — If there was any unpleasant feeling between Ex-Manager Charley Grimm and his ex-ball players, the Chicago Cubs, it certainly was not apparent when Grimm came into the Cub training camp at Santa Catalina Island. Banjo Charley, who was dropped out of the managerial seat when the Cubs slumped in the pennant race last July, seemed just as much at home with the Bruins this year as he did in previous years when he was the boss. Real Pals There certainly seemed to be a warm friendship between Grimm and his successor, Charles Leo Hartnett, who saw to it that his ex-boss was outfitted in a Cub uni- form and had the run of the field. | And the players, whoever they were, who voted Grimm out of a share of the 1938 World Series money—why, they appeared only too glad to help out when Charley had to corral talent for his Chicago ra- dio work. “No Hard Feelings” “I haven’t any hard feelings at all,” Grimm said. “On the other hand, I'm lucky to land where I did. I got a good job that keeps me in baseball, or rather around base- ball, and I don’t have to worry about whosis’ arm or whatsits’ ankle. Honest, I believe I'd have gone nuts, though, if I didn’t have something | to do with baseball.” g Grimm, who made a swing of all the training camps in Cali- fornia and Florida, predicted the National-league race would be another “sizzler,” picked the Yan- kees for another championship in the junior circuit, and predicted the Cubs would be “mighty tough to beat” this year. e W RO T The number of horses in Wyom- ing remained unchanged during 1938, and George Knutson, Federal al Agricultural Statistician, believes the “low point in horse raising has| $1,638 in one year from a herd of months of 1938, according to depart- been reached.” EDIATELY Watches Hi aiches His " 'Figure’ Now gut 5 53U .

GALEHOUSE MAY GET STEADY JOB WITH RED SOX Opportunity fo Show | His Stuff By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Sports Writer 20.— fidd- SARATOGA, Fla, March Dennis Galehouse has been ling around the American league for several years but he’s never pitched his way into baseball's Who's ‘Who book. And if a player has enjoyed even average success you'll find his record in this little information pamphlet. You can gather that Galehouse hasn’t been a ball of fire. He was ticketed as a great pros- pect when he came up to Cleveland from New Orleans in the Southern Association several springs ago. But for this reason or that he never blossomed into a big-league star. Denny isn't blaming anyone. But he feels the trouble is that he hasn’t been given enough opportunities to show his stuff. He needs a lot of work. And with Bob Feller, Mel Harder, Johnny Allen, and other | good tossers around, Cleveland just Single day, no_ entry fee is beingl o pe built didn’t use him enough to let him find tharged, and appropriate prizes are |,y 5 cogp of | himself. At least, that's Galehouse's being set up for winners by the local| g5 60 000) story. A i He's Happy, Now This spring he’s with the Boston Red Sox. And Boston is a club that | needs pitching. So Denny is happy. | | He figures that Joe Cronin will give | lhim the chance he’s been waiting |for and that he’ll prove himself a | winning twirler. Denny went to Hot Springs a few | weeks ago and came to the Sara- sota camp in fine condition. He lost | more games than he won last year, ! copping only seven triumphs. He's, pretty confident he’ll at least double | { his victories this season. | Galehouse has a trace of Dutch, in him. It's just enough to make him keep plodding along until he gets what he wants. He wants a regu- lar starting job with the Red Sox. | The Others— Galehouse is a big fellow, stand-| ing 6 feet 1 and weighing 190 pounds. .‘He's a right-hander. He has a pretty swift fast ball. Denny is one of the three pitch- ers Manager Cronin acquired in! | trades last winter. The others are| | Elden Auker and Jake Wade. Auk- er is the chap with the baffling un- | derhand delivery. A righthander, he | won 11 games for Detroit last year. | Wade is a southpaw from Detroit, whobll win some games for the Red | Sox if he can locate the plate. - Otherwise Boston's pitching staff |is the same—-Jim Bagby, Lefty | Grove, Emerson Dickman, Fred Os- termueller, Jack Wilson and Joe Heving. Charles Wagner from Min- | neapolis and Woodrow Rich from Little Rock may stick but both could | stand a little more seasoning. | e One out of every 16 registered vot- ers in Louisiana cannot write his name, but “signs” his ballot by mak- |ing a mark. There are 35000 such | voters registered. —_— e — Dempsey Morrison, North Caro- | lina’s 1938 champion 4-H Dairy Calf Club member, calculated a profit of five Jerseys.
