Bantams Give Fans Evening of Thrills in Fistic Encounter Taylor and Schaeffer Mix in Hot Stuff Bout, Hoosier Lad Holding Lead. Seated out under the sky, with plenty of ir stirring and plenty of gloves flyking, fistic followers of Indianapolis enjoyed some real boxing entertainment at ■Washington Park Thursday evening. Principals in the main act were Bud Taylor of Terre Haute and Herbie Schaeffer'of Chicago, two lively bantams who know how to earn their money. After ten rounds of punching Taylor appeared to he entitled to the decision, but it was hard earned and he knew he had been In a mauling mat-h. The red-thatched lad from Terre Haute had his big round in the second when he caused Schaeffer to hear the birds twitter. Catching Herbie open, he crossed a long right to the jaw and the Windy City boy went spinning. Herbie took the count of one. started to get on his feet, thought better of it j as he glimpsed another punch coming 1 and dropped back to take the count j of seven. This brief rest brought Herbie i back to nearly normal and he arose and | held out until a welcome bell sounded, j denoting the end of the stanza. Herbie ; was given oodles of attention and advice in the minute's rest between rounds, i end from that time on he fought a bet ter light. Taylor was at his best the first half ■. of the milling, and though Schaeffer i improved as the bout grew old, he was j not able to gain sufficient ground to ! overcome Taylor's points. Fact of tbe matter, it was a whirlwind fight and the i fans cheered both boys when the set-to j ended. Taylor fought the more flourish- j ing fight and did most of the leading, > ! but Schaeffer also scored frequently with straight lefts and short rights. Herbie's habit of going into a shell when Taylor started a glove-throwing rally detracting from the Windy City boy's points to some extent. The fans would Use to see more of the Wiashy bantams step The little fellows fcrovide real boxing entertainment. In the semi-windup Bobbie P.ridges. ' welterweight of this city, outboxed and outfought Yank Pruley of Richmond Bobbie seemed to know more about the art of fisticuffs, and, though lacking a wallop, he scored often enough to give him a clear leal throughout. In the first prelim Bud Con'in. local middleweight, out-reached Chuck Turner and won on points in six rounds and in i the second prelim Jack Carbone of Mar tinsville won over Bobbie McGovern of Kankakee, the referee halting the bout in the fifth round when McCovern appeared to be on the verge of taking the count. Carbode had a weight advantage over McGovern and sent some ripping punches through that soon h3ff Bobble In a dazed condition. McGovern took much punishment. Heze Clark refereed the first three scraps and Frank Barry the main go. Grover Hayes, former lightweight star. pow crippled, was introduced and the ! fans gave him a coin shower. Hayes lost the use of his legs by a fail from a scaffold. When in his fistic prime Greyer was a real battler and fought numerous times in this rlty.

1 Billy Evans Says

Much of the humor of fandom is stereotyped. Every now and then, howver, some fellow bobs up with stuff that is entirely original. During a recent series at St. Louis with the Boston club there was present at one of the games a chap who had a brand new line of chatter. Muddy Ruel, doing the catching for Boston, is a St. Louis boy. Early in the game he made e brilliant stop of a low pitched ball. The catch was made almost entirely with the bare hand. I feared at first that probably he had suffered a broken bone and called time so that the Boston trainer might take care of the injury. When everything was quiet the fan with the new line of chatter, who. by the nay, had considerable voice, shouted In his best key: “Why the delay, Mr. Empire? Let - * go on with the game. If Buel i 9 looking for sympathy he will find it in the dictionary under S.”

“Rip" Collins, doing the pitching for Boston, was much concerned about the affair. He walked up to Ruel and by massaging the hand tried to help relieve the pain it was evident Ruel was suffering. Even Ruel had Ho smile and we proceeded with the game. During the summer months in St. Louis a municipal opera company plays light comic operas. Recently, when I was working in that city, the well-known light ojera. “The Highwayman,” was the attraction. Late in the same game that Ruel had suffered his injury I had a couple of close plays that went against the Browns. After the second one frleud fan told the world the following: "Say. Evans, after those two decisions I have decided they made n mistake in not casting you for a part for ’The Highwayman’." It is needless to say that I had my little smile. I might also add that a fan with anew line of chatter always can get by. It’s the old stereotyped stuff that fails to get over with the athletes.

Lively Ball Makes Lots of Home Run Kings This Season Magnates Assert They Didn’t Order ‘Rabbitf Sphere, but It’s There, Anyway . BY HENRY L. FARRELL, Cnited Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 16—Although there was a profusion of evidence to convince them last year that every one knew it, the major league magnates are just beginning now to admit that a ‘'rabbit” ball is being patted around in the major leagues. Their admission carries a qualification —“if the bail is lively it is not through our machinatious.” The ball is lively. The players know it and are suffering from it; the fans know it and are becoming disgusted with it: the magnates know it and are becoming ashamed of it. The club owners maintain that new life was put into the balls by anew machine which wraps the wool closer and gets the cover on tight- r. They also pointed out that better hide and wool are available and that both are full of life. Some of the players claim that new balls are being mixed with the old and one prominent pitcher said he could tell by the “feel” of the ball whether it was a ‘‘rabbit” or one of the old ones. This time last year there were Ruth, the honor king, in the American League and Kelly, the leader in the National League. That made it interesting. But every magnate wanted a home-run king and they are rapidly attaining their ends. There are a dozen home-run kings this season. The "rabbit balls” not only go far on the wing, but they go funny on the grounds. It is impossible to Judge the hop that the ball takes going down the Infield. Yesterday McManus dropped a fly in left field and it bounehed over the fence. The National League a year ago had 160 home runs against 157 this year.
