It is the only analysis that can be gained from the situa- tion, however, as batting heroics ‘have been identified with Lombardi since he broke into the majors with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1931. Until last year, he was generally regarded thorughout baseball as just | a hitter, not as a crack receiver. His 1938 performance, the manner in which he handled the youngsters on | the Cincinnati staff and a new at- titude towards his job, caused the critics in the most valuable player poll to vote him their No. 1 chance. Lombardi’s handling of Johnny | Vander Meer in those two no-hit contests, sealed the prevalent opin- jon that Bill McKechnie had found a new Lombardi to replace the strong offensive but weak defensive catcher of previous years. The new Lombardi retains all of the outstanding qualities of the old, but also fits into McKechnie's scheme. No pitching corps can be successful without a good catching staff to support it, Manager Bill | maintains. 'NEW DEVICE IS AID T0 UMPIRES WICHITA, Kan, April 12, — A mechanical duster, to sweep off the | home plate—will be used at the fifth annual National Semi-Pro baseball tournament in Wichita next | August. “An umpire loses a lot of dignity by sweeping off the plate,” Presi- dent Raymond Dumont explained. “It’s just as if an official of a busi- ness organization would be required | to sweep the office floors. An umpire * |is on the field to make decisions and that is why the mechanical duster is being added for the 1939 . | national finals.” GERMAN PERFECTIO!
