SPORTS TRAIL
NEW YORK, Aug. 18 —(JP)— Sometimes Joe Beggs
feels like a bottle of toothache remedy on a bathroom shelf.
Nobody .pays any attention to him until they need relief,
and when he’s given that, he’s put back up there until
somebody else gets a toothache, in his pitching arm.
And furthermore, Joe'is darned tired of this thankless
role. For going on four years now he’r been the fire chief
for Bill McKechnie’s Cincinnati Red ;, rushing to the res
cue when the blaze is getting out of control.
This m:gn: De consider ea an ex
citing enough life, but the unhappy
Mr. Beggs is one of baseball's frus
trated individuals. He has a burn
ing desire, to wit:
He wants to start a ball game.
Since (he start of the 1£40 season
ibis bujlpen I’agliacci nas picked
up his glove at the start of the
games day alter day and trudged
forlornly out to the squirrel cage,
ihere to squat in melancholy isola
tion, or occasionally leap up and
begin to throw furiously.
•‘It’s a tough job,’ he explains.
“You never get any rest. Some
t.mes, when Johnny Vander Meer
is having a wild day and getting
3 and 2 on evrry batte”, you work
nine innings out there. Then some
times Bucky Walters, always a slow
starter, gets away particularly
badly, and you know you’re going
to be called early.
“We—Shour: and I—watch the
game and know our pitchers. When
some batters start hitting who
shouldn’i be hitting we know the
pitcher doesn’t have his stuff. I’m
usually the late-inning relief man.
Shoun usually comes in earlier.
“When you're warming up you
get kind of nervous, but once you
'get in there you’re all right after
the first couple of pitches. And
y-u hav-‘ to b'ow the ball in there.
Every ditch lias to be perfect or
you’re a burn.
“I want to start games. I know
1 can start games and win. I
pitched eight and two-thirds inning
against the Giants the other day
and was stronger at the finish than
at the start.
“But do you know the real rea
atn I want to start It's money.
Belief p.'tcheis never get any mon
ey, no matter how much they do
or how many games they save.
F've or six or seven thousand is
tops.
I m going to ask for permission
to make a deal for myself. I’ve
won 26 games and lost nine as
relief man for the Reds, and ao
telling how many games I’ve sav
ed.
“But in the nearly four years
I’ve started just one game. I got
my ears knocked down that time,
but there was a reason. It was
the day after Willard Hershberger
killed himself We were close
friends. In fact, he was my catch
er at Newark and his recommen
dation got me the job as relief
man for the Reds.
“I m.ssed 11 signals that day,
ana my catcher, Bill Baker, who
also was a close friend of Hirsh,
was just as bad. We’d stand there
and argue about it. I’ve never
started a game since.
“But I want to start, and Bill
CMcKechnie) has promised me
that I can. I know I can win.”
And we’d fake a slight wager
on the handsome, husky guy, too.
He’s one of baseball's more intel
ligent and articulate gents. He’s a
gradual e of Geneva college and
has credits toward a Master’s de
gree. He just wants to make some
money out of baseball, and has it
figured out logically that nobody
ever got ricn on relief.

CHICAGO, Aug. 18—(®—Wash
ington’s Senators made ten infield
double plays in splitting a double
header with the Chicago White
Sox here today, but needed a
ninth inning rally consisting of
four two-baggers in order to cash
in on them.
The quartet of doubles—by Jake
Powell, George Case, Mickey Ver
non and Gene Moore — gave them
the nightcap, 4 to 2, after the
Sox won the opener, 3 to 2, in
fourteen innings.
The Senators made five double
plays in each game, bunching those
in the first game into the last
eight innings.
Wally Moses singled in the two
tying runs for the Sox in the ninth
inning of the first game, with Guy

Browns Begin Trading
For Young Man’s Club
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 18. —(£>)— The
tottering St. Louis Browns, whose
doddering team averages 30 years
of age, took a cue from the Brook
lyn Dodgers today and traded
two of their veterans—the oldest
in length of service and the old
est in age— as the first step in
rebuilding the club with younger
men.
In the deal, Third Baseman
Harlond Clift, 31, and a member
of the Browns since 1934, and Pit
cher Johnny Niggeling, 38, went
to the Washington Senators for
Third Baseman Ellis Clary, 25,
Rookie Pitcher John Miller, 27,
and perhaps $15,000.
President Clark Griffith, the
“old fox” of the Senators, had
very little to lose and a great deal
to gain in making the two-for
two switch. Clary, presently bat
ting .268, is not a heavy hitter
and Miller has been mediocre in
his three relief appearances,
whereas Clift and Niggelmg un
doubtedly win strengthen the
Senators in their efforts to over
take the New York Yankees in
the American league pennant race.
Clift, while batting only .232,
feas a long record as a slugger,
hitting 34 home runs in 1938, and
he still is dangerous at the plate.
With a pennant-contending team,
he may develop the spring and
fire necessary to bring him out
of his season-prolonged batting
slump and home run famine.
Niggeling, knuckleball right
hander who won 15 games and
lost 11 last year, would have a
better record than his current
total of 6 and 8 if the Browns
had giv#n him some scoring sup
port. He twice pitched two-hit
games and was beaten both times.
As his parting performance, he de
feated the Boston Red Sox on
five hits yesterday, 4 to 1.

from Montreal.
Harold Gregg went to the mound
in the first game and gave up
six runs on four hits, six walks
and two wild pitches in the first
three innings. Claude Passeau of
the Cubs achieved his 12th triumph
although he had to have help in
the final frame.
Rex Barney, who started the
second game, also gave four hits,
six walks and made a Wild pitch
before giving way to Kirby Higbe
in the fifth inning. Higbe In turn
was belted for six runs in the se
venth as the Cubs broke a 6-6 tie
and went on to win easily.
Manager Jim Wilson and Stan
Hack were chased by the umpires
in the first contest.
