Rieretti Dinges Seen_ Top Rookies

By JACK HAND

NEW YORK, July 17 - (AP) _. Marina Pieretti of Washington and Vance Dinges oi Philadelphia Phil- lies today appear the prize picks

21 minrr leaguers drafted by the majors last winter at e cost of $152,500.

Pieretti, whose selection threat- ened to start a baseball civil war, has won nine and lost five for the up-and-coming Senators. cluslon of the midget-sized rookie in the list of Ossic Bluegekq start- ers gives the Senators the best hurling staff in the American Lea- gue. l-Ie has proved a capable helping mate to Dutch Leonard. Roger Wolfe. Mickey Haefncr and Johnny Niggeling. tops him in tctal victories and he is first in hours and innings of work on the Washington staff.

Dinges, battiry .318 and ninth among National league hitters, is on even more surprising “click" in the bit: shew as most of his previ- cizz. experience was in the Class A eastern league. Although the Phils selected Dinges from Louis- ville of the American Association, he played only 131 games there and spent most of 1944 wit}. Scran- ton. Pa, where he hit .323.

Only four other graduates the class of 21 are doing regular duty in the majors and all are pitchers. Leroy Pfund of Colum- bus has e. 3-2 record for Brooklyn, while Tom Seats, a 25-garne winner for San Francisco, is all even at 44 for the Dodgers. of Rochester, picked by New York Giants. and Charley Emmerich of Milwaukee. now with the Phillles, each boast 3-4 marks.

The other 15 draftees either are sitting it out on a major league bench, seeing only occasional util- ity action, or have been shunted back to the minors for more sea- soning.

The fine weather has also seen the golfers and tennis players get their competitions oin in full swing and taken all n al there is plenty of activity along the lcca sports front. Veterans of the Eur- opean fray are also starting to get back into the games they partook. of before enlisting and it is likely that before the end of the summer's sports program man familiar faces will be witnessed ack in their athletic harness.

I O O

Now that Senator A. B. "Happy" Chandler is boss beyond all ques- tion, the next major question con- fronting baseball is whether the world series will be played.

- o o

Major league club owners did riot discuss the 1945 series as they ap- proved unanimously Senator Chand- ler's seven-year, $50,000-a-y'ear contract, and almost everything else he requested.‘

But unofficially there was strong sentiment at the joint; meeting in favour of holding the October classic 1f at a'l possible under transportation conditions at that time.

O O O

But not bringing the series ques- tion up formally. the club owners indicated they thought it wiser to hold the matter in abeyance until later in thc season, hoping that war developments might provide a. favourable answer.

u - t

Senator Chandler came out of his first session with the i6 men who hired him in a much stronger position than when he walked into the meeting one hour and 45 min- utcs earlier.

O I O

Baseball men later readily ex- prcsscd admiration of the manner in which the new commissioner took hold of the situation and won his points without a single dissent- ing voice.

O O C enator Chandler's authority over the game will be virtually the some as that held by tho late Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, his predecessor. t O

0n this point, Senator. Chandler told the club owners that it an issue is ever made on a matter which he says ls detrimental to baseball, he will win or they will have a new commissioner.

. . . ..

Senator Chandler did not actu- ally sign a contract because club owners reportedly still were affix- ing their own signatures. His sinn- ing, however. now becomes noth- ing more than a’ formality.

o o

Everybody in baseball is wonder- ing what hrs come over Larry MacPhail. He is ilic most sedate of all magnates- to date. Our own guess is that Larry has sei- tled down after perusing Frank Graham's book on the Dodgers. Graham tells all about MzicPhail in that book, and. it'is plenty.

One of MacPhaiks favorite tricks in his Dodger days was to have DTII Parker called up every hour of the night on the telephone. Sometimes he did i.‘ IIIFIMII and.‘ icy gr) a-t Big Daniel. The ncrzt day Danicl itsuallg‘ lit go at Mac- Phriil and the result was laugh- able and lively. ‘

-

O

MacPhail fought with all the neuaspapermen because he yvas a grant second guesser himself, and hated to be second guessed. His feuds with Durocher were classics. He. fired him about ten times, but when anybody sailed into Leo he was right behind_hi§ manager.

-

MacPhall did one thing for which he will always be remembered. He tore up a seventy-five thousand notche dollar contract and marched off to to 80- ' _ '

Larry hasn't erupted once this year. He hasn't bothered Mc- Cart-hy in any way. In fact he has settled down so much that many writers are regretful of the change. There was never a dull moment when the old MacPhail was on the rampage‘.

Dave Ferries can be the first 30- ame winner 1n the majors since _izzy Dcrn did the trick in 1034 if the Boston Red Sax ace continues his phenomenal first-half pace.

lll. Y. Giants elect Dubs By 2-1 Score.

By The Associated Pres!

At Chicago. Bill Voiselle yester- day cooled off the rampaging Chi- cago Cubs with a five-hit perform- ance as New York Giants ended a five game losing streak by shad- ing the National League pace-set- ters 2-1 before a paid crowd of 9.150.

One wild inning by Paul Ericlzmn gave the Giants both their tallies to snap a Bruin winning streak at five and hand Chicago its second setback in 1B starts.

Emil Verban singled i.ri the last half of the ninth inning to bring home Ray Sanders with the win- ning run as the St. Louis Cardinals turned back Boston Braves 3-2 and gained a full game in their drive towards first place in the league.

Charlie Barrett, formerly of Boston. won his 12th game as he spaced nine hits among his ex- teammates. Tommy Holmes dou- bled in the eighth inning for his first hit in three games.

The Cardinals also got nine hits off the pitching of Nate Andrews.

In the eighth inning the Cards made their 80th double play of the year and it was their 00th game.

At Pittsburgh, the Brooklyn Dodgers took advantage of the‘ Pirates‘ sloppy fielding to win the last game of a series 5-2, before 20.148 tans.

Brooklyn combined three Pitts- burgh errors and a single to score two runs in the fourth. Goody Rosen started off with a single but was forced by Augie Galan. Augie took second when Pete Coscarart fumbled Dixie Walker's grounder and scored on an error by Nick Strincevich. Walker scored

rankie Gustine's error. |

In Cincinnati, Dick Mauney, Philadelphia's Phillles’ right-hand-

the Reds tonight and won 3-1. l

The cellar-dwelling Phillies open-- ed up on Joe Bowman, an ex-Am- erican leaguer who has won seven and trio for Cincinnati since, coming to the senior loop, in the first inning and got two runs.
