He tells a Jew oj his experiences with the Yankees.) By TOM IIENRICIl twenty-year-ol- O . 4 year In professional p'nREE a free agent by Judge Landis and selling myself to the World Champion Yankees for more money than I ever thought was In the world before its slill all a little bewildering to a small-tow- n boy. I guess I couldnt understand any of it at first. First off. I belonged to Cleveland.- - Then- 1 read in a - I Montreal paper during the winter had meetings that Milwaukee bought me direct from New Orleans. But Judge Landis cleared a whole lot up for me. Hes the first real Judge Id ever met. I Just wanted my case clarified. I wanted to find out if everything was on the have the baseball law of it explained to me. p, ILxa.caa'l Yet-- . quareilcal.-in- - this game, Tom, I told myself and I meant it, too theres no use going on playing it. Judge Landis was fine about it. He didn't try to bulldoze me or trap me Into any admissions. He simply wanted the truth, and make believe he didn't get ltl Well, I was declared a free agent on the first of April, All Fools' Day. I was too excited to attach any significance to the date. And as its turned out, the joke hasn't exactly been on me. When I arrived home In Massillon there were a couple of telegrams awaiting me, and in three days Id bad eight major league offers, four from each league. Perhaps I'd better not say what they were. I weighed em all before accepting the Yankees bid. I had my reasons for doing that H Im ever going to be a major jeaguer, I want to be with the best club in baseball. The rest of it is up to Mr. McCarthy. I havent been with the Yanks very long. But I never knew there was so much to baseball. Just sitting on the bench through one game is a liberal education In itself. In the minors everything is sort of taken for granted. But on the Yanks every player on the squad is In every play. I feel like I've been playing for years from what Ive learned already. I never knew they made em as wise as nine-lnmn- g Tony Lazzeri. Always keep your head up, kid, Lou Gehrig warned me, and the rest of the gang have given me lots of other pointers. On this tram If I cant learn bow to be a big leaguer I must be pretty dumb. I was really weaned on football. You've heard of the Massillon Tigers and the Canton Bulldogs. They were playing great pro football before I was born. Ive had my dad sit down with me by the hour and tell me about Jim Thorpe, Bob Nash and the rest of those Nash was a graduate of Rutgers, and he was the only end ever to stop Jim from running. But, of course, dads favorite team was the Tigers. Dad used to say to us kids that to bet on them was safer than putting your money in the First National bank. From what I've seen of em, thats about the way I feel about the Yankees, though neither or us Is a betting man. Dad wouldn't let any of us I've got three brothers even play football. He's a great baseball fan himself. He wanted to make me over into a choke hitler. He said ou never strike out if you shorten your bat but you never get any borne runs, either. My brother Eddie is still a better ball player than I am and I think he was an awful chump to chuck the game and go into business He s old now twenty-five- . But Charles Is crazy about baseball. He's only seventeen years old and is going to try to catch on with Akron this summer and come up through the Yan kee farms. Art Is just a fifteen-year-ol- kid in high school, but he weighs 185 pounds already, ten more than I do. I came up through the softball ranks. There was no hardball at home. But there's no chance to hit in that racket. The pitchers think they have a bad day when they don't fan 20 batters. I bet Nat Ruto pert has about 1.000 bis credit. Hardball's more of a game. Softball Isnt exactly a fad. It otters relaxation to thousands of boys. nt Delegate big-tim- e Movies Will Finish Morris Track Career Olympic champ Glenn Morris Is through so far as amateur track Is concerned if be persists in his movie career, according to one of the most eminent A.
