Wally Pipp Recalls Caldwell on Mound By RED SMITH ST. PETERSBURG, Mar. 16-When Mickey Mantle walked up to hit, Wally Pipp leaned forward for a better view from his box seat near first base, measuring the young man through narrowed eyes. "Real muscle," he said, "Isn't he? I hear he hiti hard righthanded, too." He heard right, he was assured; in fact, there were some who felt Mantle was a better hitter swinging as a righthander than from the other side. "He wouldn't have to swing so hard," Pipp said, "with all his power.

He strikes out too much. Would you believe it, when I came into the league ther wsra only three men held a bat clear down at tht end Babe Ruth, Joe Jackson and Bobby Veach. "Everybody else choked up, including Cobb. Take Lajoie and Speaker, two of the greatest bitten ever lived, with more than 3000 hits apiece. You can look it up, you'll find both of 'em went two whole years without hitting one home run.

"We were talking to Cobb one day. Ty, somebody said, 4If they'da played you like they do Ted Williams, shifting 'way over to rightfield, you'd have hit 1.000. I would like Cobb said. 'I'd have hit 2.000.' How often do you see somebody hit to the opposite field today? Everybody's a pull hitter." Wally Pipp is an old Yankee who played first base until Lou Gehrig came along. He's down here on vacation from his business in Lansing, a big, rugged-locking guy with close-cut gray hair and strong, pleasant features.

The Ball Had Snow on It Somebody hit a high pop fly. The breeze blowing in from Tampa Bay beyond left field caught the ball and swirled it, but a staggering infielder managed to keep his glove under it. "Ever see an infield triple?" Pipp asked. "Babe Ruth hit a ball like that, four miles straight up, and there was a wind like this blowing in. It went up and up and Ruth was running it out.

The shortstop and second baseman went for it. "They were both running in and they collided, and when the ball dropped safe Ruth pulled up at third.

Bobby Richardson, playing shortstop for the Yankees, happened to be going that way. He kept on going just for the trip, you'd have said and thrust his glove out in a token gesture. The ball skipped once, smacked the leather fingertips and stuck. The impact turned Richardson off balance, but he had plenty of time to right himself, dig the ball loose and throw to first base for a wildly improbable putout.
