Although the ball bounced Into the grandstand, Pesky, known as "Hard-Head" to his teammates, did not lose consciousness. After being carried to the clubhouse, his condition was not regarded as serous. The Red Sox poled out two other four-baggers, by Bobby Doerr and Rudy York, to give Southpaw Mickey Harris his second 1946 decision over the Senators. Scores: ney to Mlu, Wltek to Rlpiey to Mlie.

JF SO A WHY? By W. BLAINE PATTON Sports Editor The Star ORGANIZED professional baseball, at this time, may be somewhat uneasy over the claims being: made that a determined effort is underway to unionize all of our professional athletes. -T- "t- A DISPATCH comet from Boston that Robert Murphy, the Harvard-educated organizer, plans to follow up hit projected American Baseball Guild by also unionizing the professional football, ice hockey and basketbaU players. -T- -T- YESTERDAY Murphy filed papers with the Boston city clerk authorizing him to form three more labor groups of athletes the American Football Guild, the International Hockey Guild and the American Basketball Guild. -t- THE THREE new unions, Murphy said, were prompted by inquiries he had received from professional athletes in those fields.

said the baseball guild had "substantial membership" on 12 major lague clubs, but admitted the other three unions were still "in the planning stage." REFERRING to Clark Griffith's criticism of the union project, Murphy said: 'The unions will not place any ceiling on salaries, nor will they tend to curb initiative, as the Washington owner charges. There will be no maximum salary fixed by the unions. Every player will be able to bargain individually just as he is at present." LAST WEEK Jerry Brie, AFL business representative in Detroit, said he had been exploring the possibility of unionizing professional football, hockey and basketball players. Murphy said his three new unions, like the American Baseball Guild, would remain independent at least for the present. TOMMY FITZGERALD of the Louisville Courier-Journal is out with a short book, a sort of baseball comedy in a light touch.

He calls it "Giving 'Em Fits" with laughs, smiles and grins. -(-----GORDON FISHER, head track coach at Indiana University, attributes the lack of discus throwers in this state to the fact that the Indiana high schools do not include the discus in their track and field events. When we were In high school, the discus was on all the regular programs. George Barringer of Indianapolis is shown at the wheel of the rear-motor, six-cylinder car which he will drive in the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30 after he unloaded his entry at tXe Speedway garages yesterday) afternoon.

THE TIGERS scored two runs in the second inning. Dick Wakefield was safe at first on Hal Trosky's error, and stole second. Roy Cullenbine walked, then Pinky Higgins slashed a double into left field to drive in the runs. Hank Greenberg's third-inning triple, his only hit of the game, drove in Eddie Lake, who had singled, with another run. The Tigers' final tally came in the sixth, when Higgins singled, went to second when Tebbetts walked, reached third on Trout's sacrifice and scored on Eddie Mayo's long fly to center.

Three times the Sox put a man on first to start an inning, but never were able to do anything about it. IS THE SEVENTH, Ralph Hodgin led off with a single, and after Dario Lodigianl flied out, Mike Tresh singled. Trout struck out Pinch-Hitter Wally Moses and Thurman Tucker to end the inning. The only other time Trout was in any trouble was in the fifth, when Lodigani led off with a doublethe only extra-base hit the Sox had. Trout forced Tresh and Pitcher Eddie Smith to ground out, and Tucker lifted a fly to right to end the inning.

Elizabeth Graham's Maine Chance Farm's Stable said today Jockey Eddie Arcaro, trying for his fourth Kentucky Derby victory, had decided to ride Lord Boswell rather than the current favorite, Knockdown, in the race for the roses here May 4. Arcaro, who rode Hoop Jr. to victory in last year's Kentucky Derby, had his choice of mounts for his effort to bring in more Derby winners than any other jockey In history. By Crantland Rice good along certain devious lines we won't discuss here. Now, here Is a peculiar angle.

Baseball has known more greet first basemen and more great second basemen that It has ever known shortstops and third basemen. Just how can you explain this? We have had a star at first from the days of Fred Tenney on through Frank Chance, Stuffy Mclnnis, Chase, George Sisler, Lou Gehrig and Bill Terry. Second has the longest parade of stars La Joie, Collins, Kvers, Frisch, Hornsby, Gordon, Doerr. But outside of the enduring Honus Wagner, shortstop has given the game few outstanding names. There have been such good ones as Bancroft, Jackson, Tinker, Long, Wallace but only a limited list ranged below Wagner's fame.

Third base, voted a the easiest job on the club to hold, should be arrayed and bedecked with great names. The list of good ones is fairly long; the list of greats very scant. Jimmy Collins, Pie Tray-nor, Art Devlin, Heinle Groh, Red Rolfe, Bill Bradley these were among the best. In order to ward off Indignant and protesting letters we'll admit in advance that many good names have been left off the list, due mainly to a zigzag memory. The tough spot and the most important spot in the Infield is the combination of short and second.

Two fast men here can take pretty good care of the infield, especially those of the Rizzuto-Gor-don and the Pesky-Doerr type, not to overlook Marion and his keystone partner on the Cardinals. Third base may be the "hot corner" but it also requires less terrain to patroL North-South Qualifiers Led By Stranahan Pinehurst, N.G April 22 (UP) Frank Stranahan, blond, 23-year-old sharpshooter from Toledo, shot a four-under-par 68 today to win medalist honors in the qualifying roundof the 46th annual North and South amateur championship. The husky Ohio ace had a 33 going out and a 35 coming in on the layout to pace a field of 102 players. One stroke behind him came Richard Chapman of Pinehurst, 1940 national amateur tltleholder, who fired a 33-36 for 69. Stranahan, who won the Durham open last fall, scored birdies on the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th and 14th holes.

He was one over par on only one, the 7th, where a good drive was bunkered. COMING IN to the last two holes, Chapman needed only par figures for a 67, but his putter failed him and he three-putted each green. He had birdies on the 4th, 5th, 8th, 11th and 16th.

know what you are going to throw you don't know what you are going to throw so how could the other team know what you are going to 'I guess you are was Lefty's answer." Catching 00 ball games a year Is harder work than playing any other position for 300games. All of which leads up to the easiest or softest Job on the team. This is where the argument started. We talked with the Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, Indians, and several others about trie easiest position to play. From the start the players began voting for third and first bae.

The consensus finally settled on thlrJ base. As one veteran exprewed It "I'll tell you about playing third base. On a general overage when they slap one at you, it is either a hit or an out but nearly always a hit if you don't handle it. Yes, there are bunts to cover, but, as a percentage position, third basemen get few errors thrown into their records. It always happens in a hurry at third base and it is all different at sort and second.

They have room enough and time enough to move around. The third baseman doesn't." The next soft-job consensus went to first base. But a first baseman is supposed to be one of the best hitters on the club. Charley Comiskey was the first of all the first basemen who left the safety of the bag to cut down drives slashed toward right field. That, fifty years ago, was a daring; innovation.

It remained for Hal Chase to prove how an artist could handle first.

i New York, April 22 (NANA) The argument broke into a mh concerning the easiest position to play on a baseball team. We put the debate up to Joe McCarthy, vv ho knows what it Is all about, no matter what the position might happen to be. "Why don't you ask a lot cf ball players," Joe said, "and get their slant? After Stirnweiss had played third three or four day, I asked him how he liked tho job. he said, 'but do I still get paid on the first and loth lor playing We accepted Manager McCarthy's challenge and soon lined up the viewpoints of all the earnest athletes we could corral. In the consensus that followed, the catching assignment was rated the toughest by an extensive margin.

You might talk to Bill Dickey some time about this and discover the beatings they take around the plate. They are part of every pitch, including the fouli which often crash against finger, toe or some unprotected part of the body. The catcher gets no chance to loaf and dream.

He must handle his pitcher, watch the infield and often keep an eye on outfield shifts. Dickey told a story of a game when Lefty Gomez was pitching. "Lefty got an idea the other team was getting our signals," Bill said. "'How can they ever get our signals? I asked him. 1 don't MARION COUNTY BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTOR, INC.
