Anson Uicen, Homestead's will- TONIGHT'S FIGHTS Quakers Improved Wilson Sees Rise Big: Brace in Box IN THE LAST three seasons the Phils won a total of only nine games at Forbes Field out of 33 played, but there were md.cat.ons that It night be well for the Pirates not to Mew that record as a promise continued -a-y going current scries. For 'he Quakers ook improved 'this spi mg and Manager Jinimv Wilson today pie-dicted more victories on Western itour than on any similar jaunt in sears Catcher Earl Grace, former Pirate. and Shortstop Leo Norris. from i neapolis, together with Infielder Sheerin and Outfielder Sulik. aie the only newcomers outside the box, but It Is in the latter department that Wilson sees the main improvement.

Jimmy savs he will have seven staiting pitchers when Hal Kelleher is ready, and that the Phils will have better hurling than In any season a decade. Wilson plans to throw Curt Davis in against the staff ace of every club faced. Fans Six in Single Inning DID YOU EVER hear of a hurler striking out six men in one Inning, with no runner reaching first base and no errors committed? It has been done, according to Jack Lelivelt, manager of the Los Angeles club, who bobbed up with the story while yarns about freak plays in baseball were being swapped. Jack relates that his brother Bill, pitching for a semi-pro team In the Middle West, started a game by fanning the first tnree men to face him. There was a squawk from the enemy bench to the effect that the pitchers box was not the full distance of 60 feet 6 inches from the plate.

A steel tape was produced, the protest was upheld, and a plav-over was ordered with the pitcher standing farther back. So Lelivelt went to work again and promptly whiffed the three batters a second time. Ilinchman's Tip Horne Out IT MAY HAVE sounded a bit strong when Bill Hinchman, Pirate scout, reported back last sum- mer that he had found the best young hitter in the country in Chester Laabs, Fort Wayne thud baseman, o'm the i 1 1 rgh club later tried hard to buy, only to lose out because Detroit had the in-1 side ra through a prior agree-ment. But to be convinced his ball Bill Hinchman that Hinchman knows players, you have only to hear Cy Perkins, Tiger coach, talk about Laabs after watching the youngster tfn Detroit's training trip. Perkins pronounces Laabs, now farmed to Milwaukee the greatest natural hitter he ever saw.

The youngster, to use Cys own words, hits like Hornsby, has the effortless swing and stvle of Babe Ruth, with a marvelous wrist action. and has no blind spot high. lowr, close or ide. Japanese Wrestlers Next JAPANESE USED TO star on American mats in the. old days, but have not appeared here In the modem wrestling game and have confined their activities to their own country.

However, you may expect soon to see some rotund Nipponese grapplers among the floor polishers of the numerous other races featured In American shows. Lou Daro. Los Angeles promoter, has sailed for Japan to snare a few of the big fellows. Observing In a newspaper a photo of a huge Japanese bone bender, he derided immediately to bag this particular behemoth, and others is possible. Daro will return In July and hopes to bring at least two ponderous sons of Nippon with him.

And once started on the Coast, they'll soon be operating In other parts of the country.

Sherba, Chartieis Heights Country Club, chairman; Reposkey, Clarksburg Country Club, and Joe Wilson, of Churchill Valley.

The Indians currently are leading the pack with eight wins in 11 starts. However, It isnt the number of victories but the way they scored them that impresses the old hands of baseball campaigning.

Steve ONeill, of the square jaw and steady eye, has moulded a cohesive band of ball players who will fight you down the line until the last ball has been pitched and the last blow struck. The Indians have been thumping the horsehlde with vigor and their pitching gets better as the season moves along. Mel Harder, Oral Hildebrand Johnny Allen, Lloyd Brown and George Braeholder all have been showing plenty of stuff, and if Willis Hudlm takes a new lease on life the Indians will have a pitching staff that may make the fans forget about the Tigers, the Red Sox, the Yankees and the rest. Blaeholder came into his own In his first start of the season yesterday when he held the St. Louis Browns to seven hits and won his game, 2-1, but It was Campbell's homer In the seventh that provided the winning run.

It was the only game played In the American League, the only other major league contest being played in the National circuit, where the Cincinnati Reds nosed out the Cubs, 5-4, in 10 Innings, Ernie Lombardis double with two gone In the last of the tenth started the Reds on the road to victory. Tommy Thevenow met one of Lon Wameke slants for a single and the game was over. Warneke went into the game In the sixth after Larry French had been taken out for a pinch hitter and until that tenth Inning gave the rising Reds only two bingies.
