FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY Feb.

5. 1937 Bruce Fero will fight for a title in the Golden i i SLRIDi I I I MEL OTT: That raised "Was I scared when I walked itito McGraw's office!" says Mel. "I'd never been more than 100 miles from home, never outside Louisiana." Mel recalled that McGraw looked puzzled when he identi fied himself as a "baseball play er." Otts explanation that "Mr. Williams talked to you about me" didn't help, cither. "Who's Mr.

Williams?" demand ed McGraw. As Mcl tried to explain, Mc Graw saw a letter in Ott's trem bling hand and reached for it. to read Williams' recommendation. The 16-year-old Ott was given old Mel whether he'd ever played outfield Ott gave him a laugh by replying, "Sure, when I was a kid." Veterans in those duya weren't anxious to help youngsters come along ahd take their Jobs. Rookies usually went through plenty of hazing, But Mel was so modest and nnlve that the oldsters soon were giving him pointers and help.

Olt struck out his first two times at bat as a pinch hitter. It wasn't until August that Ott was given a regular outfield spot on August tl. In a shakeup, Olt went to the outfield and mil Terry to first base. The National league's home run ace 413 round-trippers Nhowed no early signs of being a slugger. It wasn't until 1928 that he hit a ball out of the park.

In 1929 Mel hit 42 homers and drove in 151 runs, his best record. The next year he had his highest batting average, .349, became old enough to sign his own contracts, and married Mildred Wattigny of New Orleans who had been surprised to know anyone iuld make enough money playing baseball to live on. They have two daugh ters. In that 1930 season Mrl had one of his two greatest baseball thrills. He hit three homers and a double In one game.

In the 193S World Series he hit homers his first and last trlpa to the plate, winning the game and the series with his last blow. Olt well remembers McGraw's fiery methods. "He didn't mind errors. He knew they were all in the game. Hut he couldn't stand mental lapses.

After a pitcher had hurled a no-hit game, McGraw, stingy with compliments, told him: 'With me telling you what to pitch you ought to have some more like Ott and Carl Hubbell, the only McGraw boys still active, are the darlings of the Polo Grounds. Ott believes Hubbell will have a good year, but Mel won't say anything about his team's pennant chances. He has made several trades since he was named boss, getting John ny Mize from the Cards, Bill Werbcr from the Reds and Hank Lleber from the Cubs. DiMaggio Keeping His Offer Secret NEW YORK (U.R) Yankee center-fielder Joe diMaggio, the American league's most valuable player, kept secret today the salary he had been offered for 1942 and refused to say whether the amount suited hirrf. DiMaggio said that the contract, which he received Wednesday, would require some consideration before he reached a decision.

"I'll have to think it over a few days," he announced, "I'm leaving for St. Petersburg Thursday or Friday and I'm fairly certain I won't sign it before I leave." DiMaggio, who Is believed to have received $32,000 in 1941, was expected to receive a raise which would make him baseball's highest salaried player now that Hank Greenberg is in the army. He purportedly demanded but refused to confirm the figure. The Yankees sent out other contracts Wednesday to 15 pitchers, four catchers, six infieldcrs and five outfielders. Northwestern Baseball Team Will Cooperate CHICAGO OW Northwestern university's annual southern baseball trip was cancelled today in favor of a schedule with service teams from midwest army camps and naval stations.

Final Preparations Made for Machiclcanee Carnival Sunday Franklin Seals Pastor Batlle Thost Heavy Punches Really Aren't Meant For Al Reiss at All By STEVE INIDEft CHICAGO Big tern Franklin, who fights a guy named Al Reiss at Toledo Feb. 10, was slugging the heavy bag at Traf-ton'i fourth floor gym as if hill le depended on belting It loose from the hinges. It didn't ring true.

No guy named Reiss could make the slugging Negro heavyweight train that hard. "Reiss?" said Lent "These shot! are for Bob Pastor. I'm fightln him, too, a couple of weeks later and he's the one boy I got td beat to get a fight with Joe Louis." That's something else again. No mutter how tilings start with Iem the conversation swings rapidly to Louis. He and Manager Jack Hurley have been trying for months to pin the champ to a mutch.

Franklin has, -in fact, scored knockouts over a few Loulf victims quicker than Joe did. In Jacobs' Hair "We'll be in Mike Jacobs' hair so bad if we win the Pastor fight he won't be able to keep us away from Louis." Hurley said. "We'll guarantee Joe $100,000 and fight him for nothing." The 10 rounder with Reiss Franklin's tuneup. He has re covered completely from a brok en thumb on his right hand ana at 202 is near ring weight Two weeks later, at Cleveland Feb. 24, Franklin has the most important date of his career.

Pastor has destroyed more am bitious young heavyweights than Louis, himself. He went to the coast and ended the rise of Bob Nestell. He came to Chicago and punched Booker Beckwith full of holes. Turkey Thompson and others felt his sting. "Pastor isn't the greatest heavy weight around but he teems to be the hardest one to lick," Franklin said.

"I'll be In the best condition of my life by then and I won't miss on this chance. I've been waiting too long." Hurley and Franklin have cooked up a half dozen daffy plans to land a bout with Louis among them an offer to fight Lou Nova, Buddy Baer and Billy Conn and turn the combined purses over to charity if Lem failed to knock out all three. Jacobs, Hurley charged, doesn't want Lem to look good around New York and so far offered him only Melio Bettina as an opponent. "Franklin will fight Bettina but not in New York," Hurley said. "His manager agreed on the telephone last summer to fight in Chicago and all we want is someone to live up to that agreement Bettina is a clumsy fighter and could make Lem look bad for awhile if he tried to rassle around.

"We don't want a bad fight like that to keep us away from the title." Hilltop Trackmen Drilling for Irish MILWAUKEE (U.R) An un derdog's chance to make it tough for the powerful Notre Dame track team in a dual meet at South Bend, Feb. 7 was the most Coach Melvin Shlmek dared to expect from his green Marquette university squad as he tapered off training today. The Hilltoppers approach the meet, however, with all able performers in first class physical condition, Shlmek announced. There was encouraging improve ment in Wednesday's practice, he said. Coach Bill Mahoney's Irish may find stiff competition, Shlmek surmised, from such Hilltop performers as Hurdler Arthur Egbert, Sprinter Howard Millen, Pole Vaulter Harvey Baerwald, and Miler Gene Grochowskl.

PAY g)2S Month wm By MORTIMER KREEGER NEW ORLEANS-W-Mel Ott learned his baseball under fiery John McGraw and hard-boiled, driving Bill Terry but the new manuger of the New York Giants probably will continue to bo the same mild-mannered Mel.

Ott won't say. "I don't know Just how I'll han dle tilings," he explained. "I learned plenty from both Mc Graw and Terry. I have a few ideas of my own but I can't say what I'll do until I get the chance." Thai's typical of Mel, who never speaks about what lies going to do nor of what he has doi. 'Its unlikely, though, tiiat a quiet chap like Mel will turn into a martinet overnight, lie injures there are other ways to handle men and get the most out of them besides being tough and brusque Mel hasn been slow about tell ing umpires and players what he thinks about their decisions and actions, but he has done it in such a way that they haven been "shown up" before the grandstand customers.

It's been 16 years since Ott, one of baseball's first "boy wonders," Joined the Giants. Fact Is, he was told to report a year before he did but he thought he was being kidded, and didn't. Ott was a high school catcher and went with1 his battery mate when Pitcher Lester Rouprich signed with New Orleans in 1923. The late A. J.

Heinemann, then New Orleans owner, decided Ott was 'too young. He arranged for Mel to play with a semi-pro team at Patterson, maintained by Harry Williams, millionaire in dustrialist and sportsman killed a few years ago in a plane crash. In less than two weeks Heine mann had heard enough about Ott to offer him a contract but, says Ott, "Mr. Harry told me not to sign because he had other things in mind for me." That summer William- told his friend McGraw about Mrl and the Giants' manager agreed to look him over. William sent Ott a postcard telling him to report but Mel explain that "I thought It was joke and didn't go." When Williams returned from Europe he sent Mel to McGraw with a letter of recommendation.

Red, in-making the announcement today, pointed out that the lack of left-handers was one of the weaknesses of last year's champion Bluejays, and he expects this new youngster to fit in nicely. Young Daublander seems to have the makings of a fine hurler.

You must remember Johnny Lakers, the promising catcher who was laid up early last season after a baseball sent him to the hospital with a brain concussion. Johnny did a little catching again in August, and Red had hopes that he would make a great comeback this year. Well, you can count Johnny out, for he will be in the army starting next week. The portly, jolly Green Bay manager frankly admits that the pickings are going to be a little slimmer than usual, maybe a good deal slimmer. He is confident of fielding a good team however, and when you consider all his experience and con nections in baseball, you can be too.
