Anyone who has seen the dazzling Harlem Globetrotters basketball team In action as the No. 1 team of that sport, will have a Rood idea of the future being! planned for the Harlem Globe trotters baseball team, which will i be seen In action here at East! Helena against the Smelterltes! in a night game on June 21. The current Globetrotters of the' diamond are a.

great ball club right now, probably one of the; best negro nines in the nation today. But, owned by the same; management that zoomed the1 capers to the pinnacle, it can be assumed that nothing will be left undone to make them the outstanding attraction In their par-j tlcular sphere of baseballdom. That means superb showman-l ship will be stressed, along wlthj top playing ability. The diamond, ragers admittedly have a long wa'j to go to equal their basketball! brethren's 20-year record of 2,886 wins against only 225 defeats, but at least they're off in the right direction. First step of Owner A.

M. Saper-stein to achieve this objeotlve was the acquiring of last year's popular and hustling Seattle Steel-beads nine as the nucleus of the new diamond aggregation. That brought him the capable Paul Hardy as manager and catcher and such other top players as Titchers Roger Pierre and Johnny Cogdell, Catcher Eugene Hardin, First Baseman Herb Simpson, Second Baseman Jeexe Williams. Shortstop Sherwood Brewer and Outfielders Zell Miles, Stamp Holly and Howard Gay. Ulysseg Redd, brilliant third baseman.

Outfielder Sam Wheeler and Pitchers Louis HutchlnBon and Jos Brooks, the latter a crack southpaw, were purchased from' the Cincinnati Crescents. Othello! Strong, a giant, young right-' handed pitcher who was a sen-j nation at Fort Warren, was signed at the recommendation of his brother, the Kansas City Mon-J archs' Ted Strong, who led the Negro American league In home' runs last Henson.

Olympic Hopes Ride High at Salt Lake City Defending Illinois Team Will Show In Utah Stadium Salt Lake City, June 14.

(JP) Olympic hopes will be riding high for many athletes entered In the National Collegiate Atbletto association's track and field meet in University of I'tah stadium next Friday and Saturday nights. A blue ribbon la this top-drawer competition Involving practically all of the nation's best college splkemen should help a lot when I'nclo Sara's team Is picked for the international games at London next year. Director of Athletic Ike Armstrong of Utah said close to 300 athletes are coming here from 71 dropping three spirit-breakers at the season's start. 2-1, 3-1 and 3-1. He fanned 35 In 64 Innings.

He possesses a good fast ball and a fine curve and added a knckler to his repertoire this season. It was exposure to Papal and Nelson." he laughs. He is a fth lr Selder Creel's arm went dead while he was with the Cardinals in remaining troublesome through' laHt season. The 30-year-old, six-1 foot, 165-pound Creel is a first cousin of Tex Hughson of the Red Sox. Creel was a rather accomplished third baseman.

Through a family trait, he Is unable to fully open either hand. A muscular phenomenon limits him to half-open hands, but he figures this helps his pitching. Creel owns a great curve, a good screwball and his control is exceptional. In 1942 with Houston, he won 13 and lost 6 with an earned-run average of 1.90. His masterpiece this spring was a two-hitter against Beaumont in which he did not allow a hit for 7 13 rounds, then yielded a scratch.

Incidentally, Houston pitchers have really turned In 14 shutouts. Papal actually Is entitled to three, because Nelson pitched the first nine Innings and Papal the last of an 18-inning scoreless tie with Shreveport. Anyway, there Is considerable pitching on the Houston farm alone awaiting any call fliat may come from Eddie Dyer of the Cardinals. The Houston branch is renowned for its pitching. The Deans, Carleton, Cooper, Bre-cheen, Dickson, Brazle, Pollet and Munger saw service with the Buffs.

Louis Nationals are a decaying organization. -w-r inreci1 evi-. dence to the contrary is the Houston 1 nut in rnnf tn i.r T- and threatening p. to pull away. The Kuffaloes '2 should with the a kind of pitching they have had to 'date.

A total of 13 shutouts were Jack Creel turned In by a half dozen Houston pitchers In the first 45 games, Clarence Beers had four, Jack Creel three, Al Papal and Roman Brunswick two each and Rudy Rundus and Art Nelson one apiece. Jimmy Adair, managing San Antonio, says Reers and Creel are in the wrong league. "They could win In much faster baseball than that played in the Texas league," opines the old Cub lnfielder. "I don't believe 1 ever saw a minor league pitching staff so strong. Even after that big four Reers, Creel, Papal and Brunswick, Houston has pretty good pitchers in Charley Sproull and Nelson, and if Renike ever learns to get his stuff over the plate, he's going to be a corker." Major league scouts declare that Beers would win with the Cardinals right now.

The right-handed Il'eers and Creel beat arm trouble to demand the right, the former for his first and the latter for another chance with the parent club. Breaking In at 17, the 28-year-old, 175 -pound Beers kicked around In the minors for six years, went Into the army air forces with a Hore arm contracted in the cold weather of Pocatello, Idaho. A service masseur. Bill Larson, did what baseball trainers failed to do in four years. He fixed the arm.
