    Al Brancato This Article Was Written by David E

    Al Brancato This article was written by David E. Skelton The fractured skull Philadelphia Athletics shortstop Skeeter Newsome suffered on April 9, 1938 left a gaping hole in the club’s defense. Ten players, including Newsome after he recovered, attempted to fill the void through the 1939 season. One was Al Brancato, a 20- year-old September call-up from Class-A ball who had never played shortstop professionally. Enticed by the youngster’s cannon right arm, Athletics manager Connie Mack moved him from third base to short in 1940. On June 21, after watching Brancato retire Chicago White Sox great Luke Appling on a hard-hit grounder, Mack exclaimed, “There’s no telling how good that boy is going to be.”1 Though no one in the organization expected the diminutive (5-feet-nine and 188 pounds) Philadelphia native’s offense to cause fans to forget former Athletics infield greats Home Run Baker or Eddie Collins, the club was satisfied that Brancato could fill in defensively. “You keep on fielding the way you are and I’ll do the worrying about your hitting,” Mack told Brancato in May 1941.2 Ironically, the youngster’s defensive skills would fail him before the season ended. In September, as the club spiraled to its eighth straight losing season, “baseball’s grand old gentleman” lashed out. “The infielders—[Benny] McCoy, Brancato and [Pete] Suder—are terrible,” Mack grumbled. “They have hit bottom. Suder is so slow it is painful to watch him; Brancato is erratic and McCoy is—oh, he’s just McCoy, that’s all.” 3 After the season ended Brancato enlisted in the US Navy following the country’s entry into the Second World War.

    ~CityWatch' is CTA System Bonus By Jeff Stern Chicago has an extra public service asset that reaches beyond transit, although transit is the reason it exists. You might call it a "round-the-clock com- munity alarm system" extending to every street and right-of-way that a CTA bus or train travels. "Alerts" are frequent as CTA bus operators and motormen get on the radiophone to report incidents on their routes which may warrant an emergency re- sponse from other city agencies. While "lookout" duty is not prescribed in the oper- ating rulebook, it is exercised continuously, demon- strating the outstanding sense of community responsi- bility that the CTA "volunteers" possess. The CTA Control Center in the Merchandise Mart has direct flip-a-switch contact with police and fire de- partments, city and state highway authorities and other service agencies. Alerts can be relayed to them almost instantaneously, giving extra assurance to citizens that help will come quickly when they need it. Recently, an operator on Lake Shore Drive called the Control Center to report that a plane approaching Meigs Field had fallen into Lake Michigan. It turned out that this was the first call to be relayed to the fire department about this accident. In another demonstration of concern, the operator of a 67th Street bus saw a woman who was trying to cross the street get hit by a truck. He immediately called the Control Center to send a fire ambulance to the scene. (Continued Page 2) Here's how C'TA's additional community service works.

    Bob Feller Pitches Opening Day No-Hitter Stuns White Sox in April 1940 by Dr

    Bob Feller Pitches Opening Day No-Hitter Stuns White Sox in April 1940 www.bobfellermuseum.org by Dr. David Fletcher Feller had been in the AL for four years by the time opening day 1940 began. He baffled hitters with his repertoire of pitches and crafty changes of speed. His curveball was particularly unfriendly to right-handed hitters. The pitch sped at a right-handed batter before dropping down toward the strike zone. To further confuse and trip-up hitters, Feller used a variety of windups - ranging from overhand to “three-quarters” to sidearm. Photo courtesy: Baseball in Wartime (baseballinwartime.com) FELLER BEATS WHITE SOX IN NO-HIT GAME, 1-0 / HEMSLEY DRIVES IN CLEVELAND'S RUN WITH TRIPLE, wrote Ed Burns in the “Chicago Daily Tribune” the day after Feller’s opening day no-hitter. “It was a treat day yesterday for baseball rejoicing or brooding, according to the mood and the inspiration. What would you do on a rainy, cold day if you were just over having participated on the winning side of a no-hit season opener,” he continued. Feller remembers that his arm was sore before pitching on opening day 1940, which turned out to be one of his best years. He had pitched two days before in an exhibition game in Cleveland against the Giants. “I never pitched well in the spring,” he said. In his 1947 autobiography, “Strikeout Story,” ghost-written by Frank Gibbons of the Cleveland Press, he noted that, “I can honestly say that I have pitched many better games…I was lucky that day and I got fine support.” “Bobby Feller, the 21-year-old miracle boy from Van Meter, IA, pitched a no-hit game yesterday and the Cleveland Indians won the season opener from the White Sox, 1-0,” blared the papers the next day.
