0 0 0 0 0 0 OAK AND TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1938 Dr 11 Sheehan, Once Prep Star Here, Quits Seals for Oak Uniform Ken Won 11, Lost 12 With Lefty O'Doul By ALAN WARD OAKS' TRAINING CAMP. Brawley, March the second time In his life, Francis Kenneth Sheehan is making money off the Oakland Baseball Club. Less than 12 years ago an Irish kid, with a pugnacious look and an eel-like agility, dashed from the Clawson Grammar do School when classes had ended and took his stand at a stragetic spot outside the San Pablo Avenue ball park. Usually he didn't have long 10 wait. foul ball would describe parabola and land somewhere in his vicinity.

The pair of hand owned by Ken Sheehan were but two of many diving for the pill, but the scrappy little Irishman usually emerged from the fracas grasping the prize. In addition to being a rare retriever of baseballs, young Sheehan proved a good salesman. sold the horsehides for 50 cents each, principally to fans who would receive a grandstand seat when a spheroid was surrendered at the box office. HE MAKES MONEY "I made as much as $10 a week, and seldom less than $5 during a playing season," Sheehan grinned. "But wasn't the competition keen outside the fence?" Ken was asked.

"How about the other boys working the same racket? Didn't THEY get their share of the balls?" "I guess I was lucky," Ken replied, naively. "Or maybe I was just fast, and got to the balls first." I have my doubts about that first item. I suspect Sheehan, despite his diminutive size, was a tough little egg who delivered a few punches on his way the bouncing, rolling apple. KEN GETS REVENGE There was a time when they wouldn't permit Ken to pitch for the Technical High School team because he was too small, and he was so scorched with the injustice of it all he negotiated a transfer to McClymonds High, where he became that institution's first string twirler, and he experienced the joy which came from humbling the school's nine which scorned him. Ken weighed only 112 pounds and stood little more than five feet when he tried vainly for a position on the Technical High team, but he put on some weight and height in the years following.

At present the southpaw pitcher for the, Oaks' 1938 team tips the beam 158 pounds, but he doesn't run much to the perpendicular. SMALLEST HURLER In fact, Sheehan is just about the smallest pitcher in the Coast League, and it was his size (or lack of it) which stimulated "Lefty" O'Doul of the Seals to dub him "Minnie Mouse," a nickname which has clung. Doc Hess, baseball coach at McClymonds, urged Ken to look up Carl Zamlock, manager of the Oaks, for a tryout, and Ken, who hadn't given much thought to a professional diamond career 'at the time, admitted he had nothing to lose by the venture. Zamlock, interested but not impressed, watched Ken in a few workouts near the end of the 1932. season, but made no effort then to enroll him.

Sheehan graduated from high school in the meantime, and hooked up with Frank Youell's Chapel of the Oaks, a semi-pro nine. SIGNS WITH SEALS Shortly before the 1933 Spring practice Zamlock offered Ken a contract, but Sheehan, a canny young soul, didn't like the terms. He continued playing semi-professional ball, drew the eye of Doc Silva, scout for the Seals, and at the close of the year signed with San Francisco. The ink on the contract was barely dry before he received a bid from Cincinnati. Sheehan admits he had a poor opening year with the Seals.

He was a youngster and subject to the stage fright characteristic of extreme youth. He won five and lost 10. But San Francisco wanted him back in the fold for the following year. In 1935, with O'Doul replacing Ike Cavaney as manager, he won seven and lost eight, The next year his victory digits continued smaller than his losses and last season he won 11 and lost 12. DEVI BUYS HIM Along came Vic Devincenzi, owner of the Oaks, decided Sheeban had potentialities as a cannonader and purchased him outright.

For a small guy. Sheehan has a fast ball. He is a hard worker and reeps in condition. The Oaks' whanagement expects good things of him in 1938, and Ken is determined not to disappoint the fellows who control the club's purse strings. Married for three years, Sheehan is childless although he wouldn't deny he might become a poppa one of these days soon.

The Sheehans reside in Berkeley. The head of the house plays Winter baseball, and late last year won four and lost one for the Alaska Packers. His hobbies are hunting and fishing, when he has the time. He wears a fancy, belted blue corduroy coat and dares anyone to rack wise about it. I have never teen him when his hair was not combed as slick as George Raft's.

He has a nice smile and doesn't talk much. And so I give you Frances Kenmeth Sheehan, but forget the of his name. Just call him COAST TITLE ICE TOURNEY OPENS HERE By BOB BLAKE Figure eights, threes and other skating lessons were being put on ice today by more than 50 skaters who are competing for Pacific Coast figure-skating titles at the Oakland Ice Rink. Tonight the contestants will start free skating programs at 8 o'clock and will continue until every championship has been decided. The freestyle skating counts only one-third toward winning a title.

Oakland skaters representing the St. Moritz and Oakland Figure Skating Clubs will be the choice to win the majority of honors, although Los Angeles and Seattle skaters will be in every divison. Eugene Turner, 1937 Pactic Coast champion in the men's senior division. was forced to stay out of the competition and will not defend his title. Turner could not make the in time for the start of the tourney.

One of the hotly contested divisions will be the women's senor class, which will see Marianne Lindelof.

A. U.

tourney today. The carload of players expect to arrive in the altituds city Sunday night and they will play their first game Monday night against an opponent unannounced as yet. The butter and egg boys asked for permission to leave their jobs with the firm for one week. The request was granted and the group piled into Ross McBurney's automobile late last night and started the excursion at their own expense. Actually five.

players and one coach are trip. All are veterans of tournament play except one boy. The list includes Mel Miller, Bill Wheatley, Johnny Callahan, Johnny Bradley, Al Nelson and Ross McBurney. Nelson has never seen action in a National tournament. The small squad means the boys must play the complete game, no substitutions a allowed.

The veteran players believe they can win a few games without benefit of substitutions by making the opponents play their type of contest. Strom's Clothier basketball team, representing Oakland, arrived in Denver today and held a preliminary workout for the tournament due to open tomorrow. The Strom players, the majority of whom have never seen the inside of a college, looked bewildered with all the top-notch athletes strolling about them but believed they could make a good showing if they could overcome the handicap of the high altitude. The Oakland team, winners of the Northern California P. A.

title, drew a first round bye and will play their first game Monday. Denver officials announced 55 teams have been entered in the 31st renewal of basketball's No. 1 show.

BEARS BEAT TROJANS; GAELS PLAY BRONCOS By EDDIE With the California Bears right on their heels as a result of their 1 to 2 win over the University of Southern California Trojans at Los Angeles yesterday, Earl Sheely's St. Mary's Gaels probably will have to come out with win over the Santa Clara Broncos at the Seals Stadium in San Francisco tomorrow, to remain leaders of the California Intercollegiate Baseball League. GREENLAW VS. NELSON Should the Bears win' today in their second game with the Trojans in the South, they will be tied with the Gaels.

Coach Earl Sheely of the Gaels is hoping for fair weather as he believes Cy Greenlaw, who he classes as one of the greatest southpaws he ever watched, will be able to tame the Broncos tomorrow and keep the Gaels on top of the latter. On the other hand, Coach Justin Fitzgerald, of the Broncos, claims that Ed Nelson is one of the greatest young pitchers he ever cast his eyes on, so with Nelson due to oppose Greenlaw tomorrow, a real pitching duel is in store for the fans who attend Seals Stadium. LOMBARDI SAVES GAME Bill Priest continued to do real pitching for the Bears, when he took the mound against the Trojans yesterday. He beat the Gaels last Saturday, 8 to 4, and yesterday he pitched a real heady game, according to reports from Coach Clint Evans. Baer Gives Farr Bad Trouncing Continued from First Sport Page at his body.

Severat times he seemed be going at full steam. When he did, Baer unleashed his. body attack. In Baer's dressing room they were talking about a fight with the winner of the Schmeling-Louis bout. There was no talk of another fight in Farr's.

He had lost his third American start. "Baer fought a great fight. It's tough to lose, but I'd like to meet Baer again or anybody else," said Tommy. Someone mentioned something about new style. The Welshman lifted his war -scarred face: "I just went into the ring to give the publie their money's worth." Tiger Jack Fox, Spokane, Negro heavyweight, spotted Johnny Whiters of 20 pounds, but fourth round their six- round stopped the Detroit, Negro in the semi-final to the Baer-Farr heavyfight.

Knockouts featured two of the other four preliminaries. Herbie Katz, Brooklyn middleweight, stopped Buddy Ryan, of Newark, in the first round of their scheduled six. Katz weighed 168 and Ryan Steve Martin, 220, of Camden, N. won via the same route over Duke Garbert, of Fresno, in the second round of their four. Phil Sommese, of New York, outpointed Charley Massera, 187, of Pittsburgh, in a six- rounder, and Elza Thompson, 223-pound Indianapolis Negro, won in four heats from George Maselli, 200, of Mount Vernon.

N. Y. Max Phones to Ask About Father, Babe As soon as Max Baer won his fight last night from Tommy Farr in New York, he telephoned his home at 800 Alice Street, San Leandro, to inquire after Max his wife and father. Most of Max' questioning was about the condition of his father, Jacob Baer, who has been seriously ill in the East Oakland Hospital. The former heavyweight champion, who is making a serious comeback effort, appeared greatly relieved when informed that his father was recovering and might be expected home from the hospital in a week or 10 days.

Baer's wife tried to get the baby, Max to gurgle into the telephone, but he was too sleepy to perform. Max told his family his ring battle with the Welshman was "a tough one," but that he was all right despite the fact that one eye was badly battered and closed. Max said he and his brother, Buddy, who lost his fight with Gunnar Barlund a week ago, would leave New York for Oakland tonight. Atherton at Montana MISSOULA, March 12. (P) -Edwin N.

There is no one within howling distance of Cy when judging on the merit of general unpopularity. Williams is the customer's pet peeve. Cy added new laurels to his tarnished crown with his unpopular win over Bill Hansen in the main event of the auditorium matches last evening. The match was a twohour, three-fall scheduled affair, but wound up after Cy took the first fall and the house physician declared Hansen too ill to continue. CY WHIPPED, WINS Williams took an almighty beating at Hansen's hands for the major part of the fray's 26 minutes.

Billy, who really knows scientific grappling, punished Cy with a variety of toeholds and with stiff elbowsmashes. Cy preferred to coast along with foul tactics. Both boys were groggy at various stages from exchanging hard elbow smashes. Hansen came out on top after these periods however, and Cy was forced to frequent the outer extremities of the ring. On one occasion 'he took ninecount in a neutral corner, The people's peeve managed to break Hansen's wrist locks drop-in and double toe-holds, body scissors, with his alleged eye scratching, hair-pulling, strangle-holds, and knee assortment.

TAKES 1 THE COUNT Williams massaged Hansen's head between two of the ring ropes to follow up by tossing him out of the ring. Bill lay prone on the hardwood where he took the count of 90. At this juncture the good doctor decided Hansen had absorbed enough punishment for the evening and Cy took the second fall and the match by default. Jack Wade of Nebraska and Mike Chacoma put on a good draw in the semifinal bout. Al Perry won from Frank Foster in six minutes with body press, Tex Cox won from Al Kasaboski when Al couldn't return to the mat, and Lefty Bloomfield and Harold Methany drew in the H.
