Pennant Ambitious Indians to Return Home After Three Days in Toledo

'OWNIE’S ATHLETES SHOW WELL ON SHORT TRIP Hen Fans Prepared for Thriller Series —Hill Downs Senators in Friday Game, Scoring Shutout, Ownie Bush had his hustling Indians in Toledo today to open a three-day series with Jimmy Burke's Hens. The Hens have developed a real kick and the battles there are expected to attract capacity crowds. The Tribesmen will return home Monday night and on Tuesday will tackle the Kansas City Blues at Washington Park.

The Indians have a hunch they are in the pennant running to stay and believe they will cut a large figure in the race the remainder of the season despite the f*ct St. Paul has strengthened and K. C. and Toledo are showing new life. And don't overlook the Cornels —they have a club that is dangerous at all times. Everything points to a merry sprint down the pennant stretch in Tom Hickey's loop. The Indians won the series windup at Columbus Friday, 7 to 0, giving them three victories in a row. Carmen Hill pitched puzzling ball and disposed of the Senators easily when hits meant runs. Hill was given fine support and he convinced his mates he appreciated their effort ST He allowed seven hits, but was stingy in the pinches. The Tribe got eight safekies. The Bushmen co’lected four Tuns in the first inning off Sanders. Russell and Brooks, Senator outfielders, collided in the opening stanza and the accident gave the Tribe two of its ‘four starting markers. The Indians scofed two more runs In the fourth, and in the fifth ' Pug Allen drove a home-run over the right field fence for the Hoosiers’ seventh marker of the afternoon. Ketchum .relieved Sanders after the fifth and held the Indians hitless. But they had enough.

Expert Tennis Talks By Mercer Beasley

S ENNIS ranks with the scientific sports. with billiards, (golf and finer forms of baseball. Very frequently the most important matches are decided by eyelash margins. Making the most of the ‘‘call of the toss,” a seemingly unimportant detail, sometimes starts a player out on the road to victory. Not enough attention is given to the possibilities of winning the toss. . Yet it has its advantages no less than thos In football when a captain calls the toss of the coin correctly and elects to defend the goal with the wind In his favor. The First “Break” In tennis I think the advantages are even greater. Unquestionably the player who wins the toss also wins the first “break.” Tie has the choice of service or court. In the cup matches some pretty keen thinking is done on this point. If a player has It figured that he can break through his opponent’s serve on the first game and win his own service on the second game he will let the other fellow serve first. In most cases, however, the toss winner serves first. The server Is usually the attacker and it Is up to him to show what he can do. This may give you an idea of the value of calling the toss correctly. Say It Is a close match, and each player has won his service up to four-all in games. The Advantage The service then would be in the hands of the player who won the toss, and If he won that game he would be in the lead and within one game of winning the set. This is an important advantage as any tennis player knows. It means that the leading player can afford to take all the chances, whereas his opponent must adopt With Ruth at Bat Friday First Inning—Walked. Third Inning—Singled* Fifth Inning—Singled.

PENNOCK ONLY YANKEE PITCHER SHOWING FORM ‘Five-Star’ Staff of New York Americans Has Dwindled to Single Mainstay—Bush Loses Speed. Bj/ Vnited Press NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The five-star pitching staff of the New York Yankees is slipping. For three years supfrb pitching, more than any other one thing, has carried the club to three pennants iftid one world series.

Opposing clubs In the American League are Inclined to the belief the bitching spell has been broken. Like all other clubs the Yankees must have effective pitching to win consistently. Hero is the way a certain veteran American League star sums up the Yankees’ pitching staff: “Bush no longer boasts the fast ball that won him fame. He depends largely on his ‘fork ball ’ which breaks like a dry spitter. This delivery calls for great control.. Lack of it makes him just an ordinary pitcher. “Shawkey is no longer a consistent performer. One day he looks like a million dollars, the next time out counterfeit money. Too erratic to be depended upon. “Hoyt, a great twirler, but temperamental. Must get the breaks to be a winning pitcher. When his team slumps, Hoyt's work falls off to a surprising degree. “Jones shows to adv-antage when not hard-pressed. In a race such as the present American League struggle, he is not at his best. “Pennock is the one consistent performer on the Yankee staff. The possessor of an ideal disposition and plenty of courage, he does hla best work under the severest pressure. "In reality, the Yankees’ staff is merely a one instead of a five-star combination.” Billy Evans Says I Oirp | HESE are great days for I I the left-handed pitchers,” I I recently remarked “Lefty” Leifeld, assistant to Manager Lee Fohl of the Boston Red Sox. In his day, Leifeld was one of the game's greatest southpaws. Certainly no one is better qualified to express an opinion as to pitchers, southpaws in particular. “It should he no great trick for a southpaw to win twenty games in the majors this year. The announcement that a left-hander is to pitch is almost enough to whip some clubs.” • • • SHRE is no denying the fact left-handers are having a big year in both major leagues. At one time the southpaws were used almost exclusively against clubs having many left-handed hitters in the lineup. Recently the portside pitchers have been equally successful against clubs top-heavy with right-handed hitters. * * * Why should a left-handed batter find it more difficult to hit a southpaw than a right-hander facing right-handed pitching? * • • [rp HAT is a deep mystery that j remains to be explained. L There doesn’t seem to be any logical reason for such a condition. yet it exists. When I asked Leifeld, famous southpaw of other days, for his solution, he replied: “It Just stems to he. It is my opinion it is largely mental. The hazard is there and the players quit under it. “The greatest left-hand hitters do not fear southpaw pitching. Cobb. Collins, Speaker. Roush, Sisler and the rest hit the port-siders about as well as the right-handers. “Yet there are certain left-handed hitters who murder right-handed pitching, who are helpless against southpaws. That one thing keeps them from being classed as great hitters.” • * • If the New York Yankees fail to repeat in the American League, in all probability the reason will be too much southpaw pitching. The Yanks are getting a steady diet of it.

A' MERICAN League managers seem to think one way to (__) beat the Yankees is to southpaw them at every opportunity. When Detroit approaches a series with the world champs Cobb saves Whitehill, Wells and Cole, his trio of southpaws. Cleveland slips the Yanks Sherry Smith and Joe Shaute. When St. Louis faces the Yankees, the team’s two leading southpaws, Danforth and Wingard, are always called on. • H • It certainly looks as If the big
