He is a man of moods. On oceasions, too frequent occasions, | he is a very sullen gent. Mungo is as temperamental as an opera song- bird. When the spirit moves him he is a very hostile guy. He has been known to break up hotel furniture and swing at teammates, or whom- ever might be handy. At times he Willie, aged 9. But Mr. Mungo, the squire of Pageland, South Carolina, has one thing in common with many of us. Like Joe Doaks of Hot Coffee, Ark. or his cousin, Bill, of Rodeo, Calif., Mungo likes to reach around to his hip pocket and feel a wallet bulging with greenbacks. | That desire to collect bank notes | may make a pitcher out of Mr Mungo. At least, that is the fondest | wish of Larry S. (for Scat) Mac- Phail, the freckled - faced major domo of the Brooklyn ball club. A Major Operation Mr. MacPhail has been around long enough to know that country boys adore spending money they | can flash at the general cross-roads store. So what does he do but am- putate two-thirds of Mungo's salary check at one swipe. Not wanting to be too technical about it, I neverthe- less would venture the opinion that the cutting of an annual wage from $15,000 to $5,000 is a major operation in any league. At least on par with an appendectomy. Mungo has been a Brooklyn pitch- er since 1932. You've probably heard it said that he slings the fastest ball in the National League. And that he's got plenty of stuff. And that maybe he should be the best | 1 itcher in the loop. But he’s never won 20 games, and that's the test for a crack hurler. In fact, for the last three years he’s| lost more games than he’s won. Last | season Mr. Mungo won the aston- ishing total of four games. Fifteen grand is a lot of dough to pay for four victories. Other methods to make Mungo the pitcher he apparently can be having failed, Mr. MacPhail decided to pitch to his weakness. So he whittled his pay check down to a mere pittance. And the only way Mungo can break back in the big money circle is by going out and chucking up some 20 victories, | “Everything I've Got” | “I'm going to show them some real pitching this year,” Mungo said. “I'm going to give 'em everything I've got, and that’s plenty.” Mungo reported to the Dodgers’ camp in crack shape. He's about 10 pounds lighter than a year ago. He says his arm feels strong again. Last year he complained so much about it that the Dodgers packed him | off to Pageland long before the sea- son was finished. Chances are the Brooklyn pitch- ing will be better all around. Mac- Phail roped in some minor-league beauties, such as Whitlow Wyatt, who wun 23 games and lost 7 for Milwzukee; Bill €rouch and Russ Evans, who won 21 games in Lhe: Southern Association; Jim Winford, | {who copped 17 for Houston and | Hugh Casey, who won 13 for Mem- | phis. Ira Hutchinson, who came from the Bees, should be a help.| And Luke Sewell, the veteran catch- er obtained from the Chicago White Sox, should be a great aid to the young tossers. .- Today’s News Tuaay.
