THE LAST GUESS

J131 HOPKINS
Indians' New Skipper Rated
Best 'Jockey' In Baseball
And Backs It Up With Fists
'TANS IN OKLAHOMA CITY have a rare treat in
store for them when the 1939 baseball season opens"
Thus writes Frank Yeutter in the recent issne of The
Sporting News Yeutter is on the sports staff of The
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin He is writing of George
(Mule) Haas who will manage the Oklahoma City Indians
next season and with whom the scribe is well acquainted
All the writing boys in Philadelphia and Chicago
where Haas played have a high regard for the veteran
player and join with Connie Mack and smart baseball men
in predicting the Mule will make a treat manager
What's more the Philadelphia scribe labels Haas as
the best "jockey" in the big leagues A baseball "jockey"
is one who rides opposing players with sharp biting yelps
from the bench in an effort to get his mind off his business
on the field
The "jockey" often succeeds too
Yeutter says:
"His repartee is deadly his personal thrusts more cutting than a
surgeon's scalpel His innunendoes and inside knowledge of the other
players are worthy ot a snakedown society magazine Mule was as nerve-
wracking to some pitchers as the bats of the As heavy artillery"
You've Got to Be Ready to Go
To Battle flJiéii Vaiiti Gets Too hot
'But Don't Put Haas Down as
Yankees have to do is put nine
guys in New York uniforms on
the field and you've got him wor-
ried plenty So I used to give him
the business on being yellow
against the Yanks
"Allen got so mad in Cleveland
last year he threw the ball at me
when I got on first making out
he was trying to catch me off
first He's got a pitching motion a
sand-totter could spot and couldn't
catch a paralytic off base But he
wants to ram that onion down my
throat When I give him the horse
laugh he goes lints
"Buck Newsom of St Louis is
'Big Ears' lie looks like an ele-
phant head on and I kidded him
about not being able to ride in
thesokway or go through a tun-
nel I always thought the day
would come when I'd have to
stand up and either take it or give
it to Buck for he's a tough lug
who ain't afraid of anybody
"of course Goofy Gomez took it
all around the league about his
divorce—The boys called him 'Ali-
mony Dodger' and a lot of other
'things you can't print But they're
all pretty funny You can take my
word for it"
Screw-Bali He's Smart Player'
"
HAAS LIKES TO RIDE Mickey Cochrane with whom he used to
play in the hey-dey of the Athletics '
"All you have to do is call him 'Old Red Face' or 'Ears' to got
hinl started" says Haas ' ' ' '
"One day I ran a long fly out to Gee Walker He's going for the
ball when I'm rounding first and I let out a yell g got it' And Gee
stops and takes a look The ball rolls on forthree gases and Mike
almost has a fit He protests to the umpire He wants to poke me in
the nose He wants the game protested He wants everything but a
box seat He gets red as a beet He's waving his arms and yelling at
the top of his voice to anybody who'll listen to him
"So that night I telephoned his house and changing my voice said
the ambulance from the nut house that had been asked for was on its
way and would 'take the patient Mr Cochrane right away He didn't
know who it was but he almost came through the telephone
"The next day the whole White Sox team chanted 'Cochrane's
goin' screw-y Cochrane's goin' screw-y' Mike needed the bughouse
wagon sure then"
BUT DON'T PUT HAAS DOWN as a screwball player" says Scribe
Yeutter in his Sporting NewS article "He's smart as a steel trap a cagey
ign-stealer and has plenty of good baseball left in him
sign-stealer and has plenty ot good baseball left In him
"He's a left-center field hitter and a fleet ball hawk And why
shouldn't he be? Ills training came under Tris Speaker in the one year
the Gray Eagle played for Connie Mack Mule was just a youngster who
liked baseball and playedit up to the hilt In his hey-day he was al-
most a dead ringer for Speaker in his style of play He liked to field
long flies over his shoulder and gave Connie heart failure as he charged
In on shoestring catches at crucial moments But they pay off on per-
formance and Mule rarely if ever let a low drive get away from him"
THE INDIANS ALWAYS HAVE BEEN pretty good "Jockeys" them-
selves Clay Touchstone was the most biting but he has been traded
off Jack Brillheart Ash Hi Ilin and Jack Ca Ivey can more than hold up
their end of last bench repartee If it comes to fist-swinging Pound
Tin Paul Easterling will be present
With Haas to lead the chorus the Indian bench promises to be a
merry place next summer

MIAMI Fla Dec 16—An old

leaders seldom become title holders1
and today it was reflected in odds'
offered against either Harold (Jug)

ning the Miami Open champion-
ship The bookies do not like a front'
runner on the fairways They be-
lieve it is harder to take the lead'
and hold it from the start than it
Is to snatch victory with a hot

eager to lay 12-1 against McSpa-1

These players were held at 16-1
and 200-1 respectively before they

more than $19000 earned since lastl
Jan 1 might be counted out now
were it not for the fact that he

-This sum includes more than $500

It does not include promises from

PITTSBURGH Dec 16— The
'Pittsburgh Pirate baseball club an-
nounced today it has obtained
Catcher Ray Mueller from the Bos-
ton Bees in exchange for Catcher
Al Todd Outfielder Johnny Dick-
shot and an unannounced sum of
cash
Echoes beard loudest today as
the major league big shots scattered
back to their home bases after the
annual winter meetings concernea
the efforts of the Red Sox Indians
and Tigers to build up clubs to
challenge the Yankees and the
definite trend toward night base-
ball Definite indications that Boston
Cleveland and Detroit all hope to
end the - Yanks' three-year regin
were furnished by the tenacity with
which those three first division
clubs hung on until they put over
some deals
5 Players in Deal
The delegates were packing to go
home when the Red Sox and Tigers
'finally engineered their five-player
deal which had been in the state
of negotiation for more than a
week The swap sent Third Base-
man Pinky Higgins and Pitcher
Archie McKain a southpaw to the
Tigers and gave the Red Sox Pitch-
ers Eldon Auker and Jake Wade
and Outfielder Chet Morgan
This deal was essentially a "Hig-
gins for Auker" transaction as the
Tigers' desperately needed Higgins
to plug the third base gap and the
Red Sox were frantic for pitching
help to back up baseball's most ro-
bust attack The Red Sox had a
club batting average of 299 last -ea-son
25 points better than the Yan-
kees As a result of the trading the
Yanks' three hottest rivals have
these new faces:
Red Sox—Pitchers Auker Gale-
house and Wade Outfielder Mor-
gan Infielder Irwin
Tigers—Pitchers Hutchinson and
McKain Thir Baseman Higgins
Indians—Outfielder Chapman
