Oilers, Runne
Need New H
9, 1949
- --
I |. 7
By JACK CHARVAT
Heading into the final weeks
of preparation for the 1949 Texas
League campaign, the Tulsa Oilers
runners-up last year to the Fok-t
Worth Cats, face a replacement
problem second to no other team
In the circuit if they are td again
crash the first (division.
Gone are aurh stars as firnt-
baseman Charley Kress, second
baseman Johnny Lana, outfielders
Rob Usher and Tommy Tatum,
pitchers Bud Lively, Harry Per-
kowski and Jim] Avera and Utility
star, Jay Haney. |
Back on hand to lend punch
in 1948,
This Seison
and experience are Rusty Burns,
the league's leading slugger and
home run king who batted in U'3
runs last season while playing
iluable
right field, and the hrva
Billy Capps, steady-playing third
baseman who [hit .295 and was
particularly rough in the play-
•ffs.
- Also on hand from the fine 1948
team are pitchers Bud Byerly, who
topped the league in lowest earn
ed runs with 2.13 and young Dave
Jolly, used mostly in relief chores
when called in from Columbia of
the Sally League.
The same willey leadership will
be provided by A1 Vincent, senior
pilot in the league and a fellow
who is generally recognized as a
master at getting a smart and
hustling effort out of youngsters
and vets atikei : i
This 'apeoming 1949 race is ex
pected to be tougher and closer
than was r the case list year
when Fort Worth, Tulsa and
Houston clinched play-off sports
early with only the fourth-place
battle between San Antonio aind
Shreveport carrying right down .
to the final day of competition
to find the aports copping the
fourth position by one-half a
game.
Cincinnati has already moved to
supply some replacements of
nerience and Quality ip Ci
Dewey Williams and Pitcher
my Hughea, both of whom
help this young chib.
To plug thd shortstop pos^—a
position which has lacked coosi*.
tency ami polish ever since tht| rt*
activation of the league-tin* Reds
have optioned down Harry Duns-
bedian from Syracuse and this
oi ; ex-
jatehfer
r Tjorn*
m will
fallow would give the Oilers
best play they've had vat shortstop
in a decade. He replaces Elbie
Flint who went to Syracuse in a
trade and who then was drafted
into the army. Donahcdian may
not hit* much but bis fielding
leaves little to be desired.
Thus, through the middle, with
Williams behind the plate and
Donabedian at short, the Oilers
arc lacking only a polished second*
sucker. He could be oh hand right
pow in youthful Jack Baumef,
Broken Arrow, Okla., ace who bat
ted .818 for Ogden in the Class C
Pioneer League last season. The
youngster has the best arm in
camp and is perhaps- the fastest
man on the squad.
He’s a glittering Major League
prospect but might be too much of
a gamble in double A right now.
Also on hand for infield duty is
Roy McMillan, another youngster
up from Tyler of the Big State
Class B Circuit where he hit .307
and Was considered the best in
fielder in the league.
The first base problem is the
most difficult right new with only
gangling Joe Adcock, a Columbia,
Sally League, star on hand at the
bag. Adcock, certainly a prospect,
might be a year away from this
competition but he’s the only pos
sible man for the post at the pres
ent writing.
With only Burns holding over
in the outfield, the fly-shagging
chores right now kre in the hands
of Jod Beeler, a .230 hitter with
Syracuse; Frank Davis, who bat
ted only .238 for the same club
in the International League, and
young Fletcher Robbe, a gradu
ate of the Columbia Farm where
he tagged Class A Sally League
pitchers at the gait of .295. He
looks like the best of the lot.
Possible pitching personnel now
in camp, along with Hughes, By
erly and Jolly, are Frank Smith,
21-game winner at Cblunkbia; Ken
Polivka, who won 14 for Denver in
the Western League, and the rookie
Dewey Jacobs, who won 16 for Ty
ler last season.
Help must cornel in both the
pitching ami outfielding depart
ments to keep the Oilers tfut of
the second division to which they
must l>e consigned mi the basis of
the personnel now In ramp,

Warneke Again in Majors
This Time As A Blind Tom
AP Newsfeatures .
PHOENIX, ARIZ.-Lon Warneke,
who turned in a pitcher’s glove
for an umpire’s uniform, nixes the
idea that a baseball arbiter loses
friends.
Preparing to start his first sea
son in the National League, War-
neke’s views are just the opposite.
“If you do a good job on the
field everyone will be satisfied,”
he maintains. “All umpire doesn’t
have to lose contact or disturb
his relationship with the players
or his friends in the sport.”
To him umpiring stands as the
“next best thing to playing your
self.”
The old Arkansas Humming
Bird, who quit as a player ih
1944, recalls some difficulty
while going through the transi
tion from player to umpire.
‘'When 1! started umpiring, there
were tiipes I'd forget myself and
anticipate the next plky. You
can get into trouble doing that
and I learned to take things as
they come, follow the ball and
be ready for anything."
The Warneke record bespeaks a
