One-Hit Game

By BILL WHITE
Associated Press Sports Writer
There just doesn't seem to
be any substitute for speed.
Take the three games play-
ed in the major leagues yes-
terday and last night. In each
one, a pitcher with a burning,
blistering fast ball emerged
■ the hero.

a night game is harder to see than

The Phils Hugh Mulcahy, who.
like Feller >« a righthander, was
slightly less sensational but almost
as effective in scattering seven hits
to beat the Pirates6-3
And the Cubs’ Vern Olsen, port-
nder with a nice touch of light-
ning in his Sunday delivery, had
the Boston Bees hanging on the
ropes. As he mixed his high, hard
one with his sinked ball." They
touched him for only five safeties
In absorbing a 2-0 shellacking
Johnny Babich Feller’s foe, held
Cleveland to six hits with a cred-
fingertips, I would risk a wager
that the average baseball player
has a life expectancy that ex-
ceeds that of pit bull fanciers,
chimney sweeps, steeple jacks,
and street cleaners, to name a
few representatives of basic in-
dustries.
All of the above is a fancy, if
needless, introduction to my belief |
that the hue and cry over helmets |
for baseball players is little more
than the outbursts of idle persons |
who seek an outlet for their ener-
gies I can’t help but feel that1
sharp steel on their soles?
To be quite honest, there isn't
much need for a crusade of any
kind. Since Abner Doubleday
invented the game of baseball
it has produced few casualties.
This is not meant to imply that
I am callous, and do not regret
the traffic death of Ray Chap-
man or the near-fatal .beaning
of Mickey Cochrane. But taken
aa a profession, baseball is just
about as safe as a man could
choose.
Proof of this is to be found in
a cautious man, he can garb him-
self in a diving bell, a raccoon coat,
a football headgear, and a letter of
introduction from his pastor
What he wears and how he looks
is strictly up to the player. All he
has to do to secure the right to in-
dividuality is get his base knocks
and catch or field the balls knocked
his way.
, It must be obvious, even to the
most stupid crusader for bombproof
equipment for baseball players, that
the players themselves want no part
of such protective haberdashery.
They won't wear such stuff. This
refusal can't be attributed to a
feeling of pride, or a fear of being
considered a sissy, because even as
dumb as your average baseball play-
er is, he still has enough sense to
protect the skull that providence
sent him into the world with. If he
thought that it was in any serious
danger—that it's pure concrete con-
tent was in jeopardy—he would go
to any extreme to shelter and pre-
serve it The fear of being branded
a sissy wouldn't stop him He'd put

ROUNDUP:
Sunday July 27.
Elected commodore was Ben West.
Other officers included Frank
Boggeman, first vice commodore,
Roy Barton, second vice commodore:
♦ A. G. Barry, secretery-treasurer:
, and Howard Green, publicity di-
rector. Directors are West. Barry,
Price Campbell. Nelson DeWolf.
Jack Minter, J. B. Dalton and Frank
.... Operating a small stable of never more than three horses
at any one time, Hay has sent his colors to the post 23 times
this season and has finished in the money on 15 occasions
and won eight purses. Eight firsts in 23 trips to the post is a
remarkable average for any horseman.
Hay left Abilene about 20 years ago, joined the navy and
later entered business in San Diego. He married Amelia Clark
of Abilene and the couple visits West Texas relatives prac-
tically every year
Three of Hay's uncles—Arthur. Lee and Luther Hay—
all live here.

One characteristic has stood
out in Lew Jenkins makeup in
all of his New York fights, in-
cluding his smashing light-
weight championship victory
Lou Ambers—his confidence in •
his own punching ability.
Jenkens' self-esteem has been
heightened by the manner in
which he blasted Ambers out.
His series of successes have
strengthened his confidence in
his savage walloping ability,
with either hand.
A natural fighter of the old
school, Jenkins has wisely fol-
lowed the instructions of Hymie

Caplin, his co-manager, and a
noticeable improvement has
taken place in his leather toss-
ing technique No longer does
Lew betray his next move as he
did in his early bouts... He has
developed a technique for draw-
ing a lead from his opponents
and then blasting them apart
with deadly accurate counter
punches.
The Jenkins' left hook to the
stomach, a blow that paves the
way for a follow -up left or right
knockout delivery to the chin,
has been materially shortened
without losing any of its effect-
iveness. This all-around pol-
ishing up has helped mould
Jenkins into one of the hardest
hitting lightweight champions
the division has known.
. Jenkins is a natural light-
weight so the matter of making
weight is no problem The
chances are that he could make
the feather-weight limit were he
so minded.
• Above all else, Jenkins goes
about his chores in the ring as
though he really enjoyed fight-
ing He gives the appearance
of raw-hide toughness and can
absorb his share of punishment

Bobby Feller, pictured at right from chalking up his second no-

battery mate
The 21-year-old Iowa farm boy turned in a 1 to 0, one-hit
performance against the Athletics last night.
rm seven innings the pride of Van Meter, la., mowed down •
the A’s without a hit, only one man reaching first by getting a
walk. Then Dick Siebert, flrat man up for the A’s in the eighth,
singled over second base
"Siebert’s a first-ball hitter,” Hemsley declared. “If it wasn’t
for that blister we’d have curved him on the first pitch."
The blixter developed on the fourth finger of Feller’s right 1
hand and resulted, Hemneley explained, from the force with which
the hurler gripped the ball.
