Saints Draw Up Even With Tribe —Interest Grows in Michigan Ring Bout

INDIANS WIN AND LOSE IN COLONEL TWIN BILL battle for Lead in A, A, Becomes Thriller — Bushmen to Return to Home Lot Wednesday, By Times Special LOUISVILLE, May 19. —Ownie Bush’s Indians soon will be on the home lot in Indianapolis, but before returning to Washington Park they have a couple of more battles with the Colonels scheduled. One game today and one Tuesday will wind up the Tribe’s road trip and Wednesday they will tangle with the Columbus Senators at Indianapolis.

The double-header here Sunday was divided, the Indians winning the first half, 7 to 6. and the Colonels taking the second tilt, 9 to 7. The Tribe was leading in the second fracas, 7 to 5, In the seventh, when the Colonels rallied and scored four runs.' It was a tough one to lose at that stage of the game. Dixon Helps Saints The Indians were being crowded by the Saints for the A. A. lead today. Nick Allen's team, aided by the hitting of Dixon, former Tribe catcher, won again Sunday and the K. C. Blues lost. This situation puts the Saints in a tie. with the Indians and drops the Blues to third place. The Indians slugged the ball in both games here Sunday and collected thirty hits. With that kind of batting it was strange the Tribe didn’t win both contests, but poor pitching interfered. Schmandt Hits Hard Ray Schmandt surprised the crowd and his mates by slamming out four hits in the second battle Sunday and there was some con--solation for Manager Bush in that feat. Ray has been hitting just about what he weighs and his batting performance Sunday was quite a treat. A number of Indianapolis rooters were here for the twin attraction Sunday. They came down for the Derby Saturday and remained over. Allen pounded out three hits in the first game and one in the second. Brown got only one safe in the two battles. Petty and George Smith appeared on the Tribe mound in the opener and Hill, Smith and Eller in the second. Ernie Krueger went big with three hits in each game. Tex Covington, former Indian now with Louisville, wrs kicked ont of the second fracas when he got mean with the umpires. Tex never did like double-headers. The A. A. race is developing into a Derby affair. The battle for the lead is sensational.

Amateur Tips SAYS BILL KILLEFER, Manager Chicago Cubs. yir) Y experience as a catcher ha- ■ |y|| faught me that the mere re ——J ceiving and throwing the ball are identical. Usually around the catcher’s judgment revolves the ball game. It is impossible to estimate the important part he plays in a team's success. To become a star big leaguer a catcher must take his work seriously, study the mannerisms of the stars, profit by advice and observation and then put into execution the knowedge so gained. Study your batters. Rate your pitcher to meet existing conditions. Keep your manager advised as to the way your pitcher is working. Make sure your pitcher gets the proper sign. Watch your outfield. In other words, the star catcher usually directs a major portion of the play. Never get careless in directing the play, for regardless of the score, there is always a chance to win.

By BILLY EVANS If you want the final decision on any baseball dispute, write Billy Kvans, NEA Service, 1200 W. Third St., Cleveland. QUESTIONS 1 If a batsman, after missing the third strike, starts ior his bench and goes about fifteen test in that direction then discovers the catcher ha 9 missed the ball, what are the haserunners' right? In this base the batsman retouches home plate and runs to firs) base, which he reaches before the catcher can throw the ball to the firet baseman. Would he be out or safe?—K. I) B. 2. Is it possible for a pitcher to make a balk when here are no men on bases? —N. S. ANSWERS 1. Such a play often comes up in a major league game. It is not necessary that the runner return and touch the plate when he sees the ball has gotten away from the catcher. He can start from wherever he Is. when he discovers the catcher has erred on the bail. Major league umpires do not regard that he has run out of line in first starting for the bench, but simply has made the distance to first that much longer. In the case cited the runner was safe. 2. It is impossible to make a balk without any runners on the bases. An illegal delivery can be made, which would be called a ball even though it passed over the plate at the proper height. If the batter elected to hit such a delivered ball whatever happened would be regarded as legal.
