STAR ROOKIE 3 Injured Cincy, Red Player Was Once -Headed for the Red Sox New York, Aug. 31-Just because Grady Hatton had been hitting .400 against, the Dodgers the season, was that a good reason why Rube Melton should have tried to dust him off the plate in the recent Brooklyn been Cincinnati series? not It by may any possibility a good one. Or, to be fair to the Rube, maybe Grady's habitual close stance at the plate, rather than any malice on part of the Brooklyn hurler.
may have made his deliveries look narrower than they otherwise would have appeared. But. at any rate two of Melton's high fast ones came so close to Grady's head that Coach Jimmy Wilson of the Reds, almost in consequence, took punch at the Gowanus heaver, Has Fractared Knee But that is all past. Of present import is that with 14 home runs to his credit, a high hatting average and consistently brilliant fielding at third, stalwart youngster from the University of Texas via the U. undoubtedly going to get laurels annually bestowed upon the of the year, even granted he is on the shelf perhaps for season.
with a frac: tured knee. It was due to Grady's ambition for a diploma that the Red Sox did not get this up-and-coming ace. Down at the University of Texas, where Grady played student ball, Billy Disch, the coach, is said to be on the Boston club's roll as scout and "Uncle Billy" knew just how good he was and recommended him to Joe Cronin. He worked out several times, as a collegian, in Sox spring practice and could have signed up 'then and there; but he wanted that diploma. This was probably due to his own inclination, but if it was not originally implanted by senior Hatton.
then Grady 'is regretably defcient in his receptivity of paternal' influence. He was first exposed to it when he was a boy of 12, playing on the sand lots of his native town, Beaumont, Tex. Jack Zeller, then general business manager of the Detroit Tigers, saw the kid at play and, keenly alert to signs of budding genius, wanted to hook him up as a future Tiger player then and there. But his father said nay. He wanted the boy to get an education and secured from the lad a promise that his first 'definite achievement would be the acquisition of a college diploma.
Switched Throwing Arm True to his word, Grady entered U. and did all right in studies. Standing 5 feet 10 inches, 185 pounds with columna underpinning. 'Hatton besides playing baseball, understudied the late Chow Daniels at guard until made him give up the rugged sport, lest he incapacitate himself for a prospective career in major league ball. He seems to have complete charge of his physique, meaning he can experiment in various ways with his physical equipment.
For Instance, originally a left-handed he decided he could do better throwing right-handed, so he shifted over and within a week found himselt pegging better than he ever had--just as in hitting, when he shifted from right to left, his average soared. Graduated from Texas, in 1943 Grady immediately into the army but for some physical reason he was not sent overseas. He Alled out his entire enlistment with an ordnance outflet at Greensboro, N. where he played a lot of inter-service ball and elicited predictions from such team mates as Lee Gamble, Cincinnati; Jim Castiglia, Athletics. and Buster Maynard, Giants, of that brilliant career in major company, which already he has fully justifled.

While invitations have been sent out to nearly 100 prospective CINCY'S REDLEGS MAY EQUAL MARK FOR DOUBLE PLAYS M'Kechnie's Cordon, Although Often Revamped, Has Made 156 Twin Kills Cincinnati, Aug.
31-(AP) -Despite 4004 an injury-ridden infield, the hapless Redlegs from Cincinnati top the National league in the double-plays department and stand a chance of equaling or bettering their own league record of 194 twin-killings. in today's opener of a three-game As the Reds met the Chicago Cuba series, their season's total for double plays stood at 156. The St Louis Cardinals were their closest rivals with 135 and Brooklyn was next with 129. Miller Out of Picture. Early in the season, the Reds were clicking off double plays at the rate of two and three a game when Shortstop Eddie Miller and Sacker Lonnie, Frey made up the keystone combination.
But then the Versatile Miller went into a batting slump that eliminated him from the starting lineup. He returned, after a time, only to benched again with a shoulder injury that may a keep him on the sidelines for the rest of the season. With Claude Corbitt filling in at short, Frey was moved to the outfield to bolster the Red's garden defenses. Rookie Bobby took over at second and the double-plays kept piling up. But then a leg injury sidelined Adams and Frey came back to the infield.
Cincinnati still came up with double-plays but the zest was gone. They were getting one or SO a game but lots of twin-killings were missed. Bert Haas, dependable. first baseman, is the only the double-play combination who has held his post throughout the season. The latest addition to the Redleg injury list is Grady Hatton, prize, third baseman, who may drop out for the season with a fractured knee.
The Reds have 31 games in which to execute 38 double-plays for a tie of their record established in 1928 when Shortstop a Horace Ford, Second Sacker Hugh Critz and First Baseman George Kelly were performing for the club. The Cincinnati team of 1931 came up with a tie of the record on the playing of Leo Durocher at short, Tony Cuccinello at second, and Mickey Heath at Arst, and club officials say the boys this year have a better than average chance to equal that mark for, 10 date, they're ahead of the pace set by both the earlier teams.

Holmer predicted last night that it will be necessary for him to cut down the size of the squad somewhat he has seen his prospects in action days.
This will mark the first time in Boston university grid annals that such a move has been necessary. Lamana Now Pro Although Pete Lamana, captain-elect of this 1946 squad, will not be available since he has signed a professional football contract with the Chicago Rockets, Boston university will have more than a dozen lettermen as the backbone of this first formal postwar grid team. The Scarlet and White will not elect another captain at this time but instead will choose game captains each week and at the end of the season name an honorary captain for the year. Double sessions will be in store for the Terriers these first two weeks before school starts. Practice will be limited to the one two -hour period the rest of the campaign.
Forty-four lucky candidates, nine more than usual. will live and eat their meals at the Nickerson field clubhouse. These will be available to the top men on the squad but until the Terrier mentors have had a chance to size up their players, the boys from out-of-town will be housed at the field house. The extra space has been made available by changing over the visiting team's dressing quarters. They will now use the basem*nt in the main held house while Boston university will have the 'whole first floor to themselves.
A light workout will be held Tuesday afternoon. In the morning the boys will undergo physical examinations in town. Russ Peterson, Holmer's right-hann man, is counting on Cliff Fitzpatrick ct Brookline to blossom out into a great end. Fitzy played on the 1941 squad and was among the first Boston university athletes to enlist. Along with Wally Williams, one of Boston university's a greats, they Joined the marines a month after Pearl Harbor and saw plenty of action in the Pacific from Guadalcanalon.
Williams now is a regular back on the Chicago Rockets while his buddy, Fitzpatrick, is looking forward to another banner collegiate season. Three McCarthys There will be three McCarthys reporting for the initial practice session and two hail from Springfield. To complicate things further, two have the same first name--John. But Dan is the outstanding one of the trio. This army vet, a regular guard on the '42 club.
should be a hot contender for a starting assignment again. Don Giles, triple-threat ace from Milton, heads the returning ball toters sure of seeing action. Larry Kirkman, much heavier than his prewar 155 pounds, and Sylvio Cella, who added 20 pounds in the service to his prewar 160, are expected out the halfback situation considerably. Speed merchant Bobby Hatch, brother of the former Dartmouth tackle from Melrose, and Eddie Figueira, diminutive, ball carrier from Hudson others being counted upon for plenty of service. quick look at the list of freshmen who are expected to report assures the Terriers of a.
starting forward wall averaging more than 200 pounds. The backfield probably will be slightly light-" er. Nothing much is known about the ability of the newcomers except that quite a few of them have enviable prehigh school records, Very few members of the Boston university team will be nonveterans. The Terriers will operate from the double wing again this fall. Besides Peterson, Holmer will have as his assistants Bob McKelvey, former Villanova tackle, who will do most of the scouting, and Harry Cleverly, three sport Boston university star.
The former will work with the line as usual and Cleverly with the backs. Peterson, Holmer and Cleverly were navy lieutenants during the past three football seasons and are really hepped up to get the boys in shape for their opener under the lights at Syracuse on September 28. The home season will open the following week against American International college. third. Ferrara SPRING Inc.
