I 0 ..... —— — —- - 0 Today's Sport Parade By Jack Cuddy I (Reg. U. S Pat. Off.) 0 d I • iJew York, Aug. 27 (UP) ■ Right in the midst of Boston's l double-barrelled pennant fervor . and New York's sultry heat, a guy I mentioned to me today that Maur- ■ Ice J. Tobin recently had been appointed secretary of labor. The combination of heat, Boston . enthusiasm and Tobin's name gave • my memory un explosive jolt that enabled me to recall vividly and I poignantly the goofiest inix-up of i my sports-writing career the time i I was nearly beaned In Boston — i nearly "moldered" in Massachusetts. i I became Involved in that screwball Boston escape on the after- • noon of July 18. 1914 a very hot • afternoon. Wilted and thirsty, I sought sanctuary in the coolness of the men's bar at my hi.tel. As I was enjoying a shell of beer. five welldressed men entered noisily and barged up to the bar. One sandyhaired chap yelled several times: ! "Who wants to bet against Tobin?” Then the sandy chap turned to me and Inquired challenglngly if I wanted to bet against Tobin. 1 declined, explaining I considered Tobin not only a fine pitcher but also a great hitter. The sandy stranger yelled. "Hooday! That's the best description of Tobin I ever heard not only a fine pitcher, but also a great hitter. You know your stuff, fellah have a drink with us." Then I blundered, "by the wav. who Is Tobin pitching against? Who are the Braves playing?" An awesome hush fell upon the room. The five new friends stared at me. The sandy one finally snarled. "Oh! a wise guy heh! , We’ll take care of you!" I As the five went Into a warcouncil at a table, the bartender told me I "shouldn't a’done It." because the furious five were politicians "who gotta lotta influence." I told the man behind the bar I couldn't understand my offense I had merely refused to bet against < pitcher Jim Tobin of the Braves j He explained that the pollticlaax hadn't meant Jim Tobin: they! had meant Maurice J. Tobin, mavor of Boston and candidate for governor of Massachusetts. Out of the huddle at the table

it came the quintet. They scoffed at my explanation that I had come up from New York to cover the Willie PepJJnnuel Ortiz fight at the ball park, the night before. And I Anyone could get press credentials, they said. One of them whispered < into the sandy chap's ear. The r word "Pepper Martin" was audible to me and the bartender. They went into a quick huddle at the i table. One ran to the telephone booth. i j "You'd better beat it," said the • bartender. "They think you're the I guy who shot Pepper Martin last I night." I Martin, a former boxer who had ■ heen elevated into the New England rackets, had been killed a • few hours after the Pep-Ortix fight In five minutes, a big. • powerW youngster --whose face ■ betrayed many fistic encounter*— I entered the room and joined the five at the table. The bartender Informed me the . newcomer was not a detective but i a slugger for whom my friends . had telephoned. I The slugger strode up to me and sneeringly inquired if 1 was a stranger in town. 1 said a polite ■ "yes." , Sparring desperately for time. | ' said. "I thought I had seen you before someplace: but now 1 know I was mistaken. It's just that you look so much like Solly Krieger." Kreiger of Brooklyn was former N. B. A. middleweight champion I was dumbfounded when the slugger beamed happily and said proudly, "Lotta folks tell me I look like Solly. You know him?" Did I know Solly?!! I held that slugger spellbound with my tales of Solly and with stories of lioxing In New York. After several beers, I he- slugger marched over to the displeased quintet at the table and said: "What you guys pickin' on him for? He's okay. Maybe he don't know Tobin, but he knows Sollv Krieger. And that's good enough , for me." AMERICAN ASSOCIATION W L Pct. GB. Indianqpoli* 91 4G GG4 Milwaukee 79 57 .581
