TALES IN
TIDBITS '
WILL FRISCH TALK BASEBALL?
YES, EVEN IN BED!
PRAISES HIS GANG
By BILL BRAUCHER
Central Press Sports Editor
THE FORDHAM FLASH opened
the door sleepily and flashed back
into bed, ready for cross-examination
concerning the case of the National
league versus the St. Louis Cardinals.
It was the end of a road trip for
Foreman Frisch and his Gas House
Gang. An exhibition game in Cleve
land on an off day, then home to
meet the Giants and other invading
eastern clubs. Foreman Frisch was
tired. He had planned a nap, but
he would talk baseball even in bed.
'•We need more pitching,” he re
plied to a question on the status of
the Gang. ‘ But I think you can see
vie got a great team when we’re load
ing the league with Parmelee and
Paul Dean on the bench. Our staff
right now is Dizzy Dean Haines,
Winford, Hcusser and Rhem. And
we're winning.
"Take the Cincinnati series. We
lose a double-header with great pitch
ing. Next day we come right back
and win a double-header with Hcusser
and Rhem, and neither of them is
right. We got a lot of runs for them,
and it doesn't make a whole lot of
difference how they pitch. That's the
kind of team we’ve got. Hustlers! It
takes a good ball club to rally after
dropping a double-header and win
two the very next day with second
string pitchers.”
Could the Cubs Do It?
The Cub seemed to be a pretty good
1 b£H club. Good pitching and punch.
“sure, a good ball club. But where
would that team be without Wameke
Discovery .... He can carry the
mail
and Davis? Could the Cubs keep up
with us without their two best pitch
ers? Before Davis came to the team
and when Warpeke wasn't going for
thert. where were the Cubs? That’s
"WHy I like the Cardinals this year.
This • crowd of ball players is going
but there to win whether we get the
IJitchin gor not.”
-Was Daffy’s injury serious? When
’•would ’he be back?
• _ “He hurt his shoulder. It's not
serious. While the arm was lame he
got out of condition. He could pitch
•right- now, but he’s weak. Has to get
. .in shape. His case is like a lot of
ball clubs I know. They don’t get into
condition right in spring. A guy should
take off 10 to 15 pounds in training
camp. Instead of that the average
bal] player works as little as possible
•in spring, figuring he’s got a long
season ahead. He takes off a few
pounds and puts it right back on in
■food.”
-“And beer ” spoke a voice from the
adjoining bed.
- Aha? Then that wasn’t a body in
•the other bed, after all. The figure
rolled over, disclosing the dark fea
tures of Dom Miguel Gonzales cele
brated catcher, coach and scout.
- To digress, Gonzales was the scout
■ the Cards once sent 900 miles to look
at a promising ball player. Mike was
asked to wire his report. The telegram
still- stands as a classic in summa
tion. Ie read: “Good field, not hit.”
Rhem Gets in Shape
But to get back to Frisch. Beer
•somehow brought up the name cf
•Flint Rhem, veteran playboy and
pitcher brought back from the min
ors to save his old teammates in a \
dire emergency. How was Colonel :
Rhem behaving?
The Foreman of the Gas House
Gang grinned.
“Rhem fits into the Gang perfect
ly. We send for an emergency man,
a relief pitcher who can save games
for us, and start a few. too. Rhem
comes in and he’s not more than 25
pounds overweight. We try to g t
him in shape and he works hard
Finally he gets into a game.
"You can almost hear the pounds
splashing off him. ‘Shad’ knows a
lot about the batters in this league,
though, and even if he’s out of shape
he can pitch a pretty good game. As
, we get into the game it gets hotter
t . and hotter. Flint says he's got ‘spots
in front.of hjs eyes”
' I can see he’s suffering out there,
L- but he’s willing. Lots of heart. And

pounds. In the clubhouse he turns
and says: ’Boy, bring me a couple of
bottles of beer.' I just ask him,
‘Where do you think you are, Nash
ville?’
“They can have beer, but not In

The Savannah Indians finally

as they handed the Columbus Red
Birds a 10-5 trouncing which was
featured by the slugging Indian in
field. Pickens, the Tribe righthand
er also stole the batting honors for

total of two out of four safeties. All
in all, it was Savannah all the way
from start to finish, with four runs
being scored in the eighth stana to
more than make the rout complete.
The Jacksonville Tars continued their
winning streak as they nailed the
Macon Peaches to the wall with a
6-1 decision. Errors proved to be cost

three innings more than did the trick
for the Tribe as they got their bats
working overtime on the slants of

inning found him parking the rock
