~JjTIRRIN’ dfl? Vedder Gard -E' o Stlrrin' the Dope o : With this issue. Stirrin* the Dope : : takes up its new location on the : : sport pate. To o?d friends who : : read Th* Times Pink edition, this is : 3 simply a continuance of that ac- : : quaintanee. To those who may not : : hfvve seen *.his column before, w© : say “Howdy”* • l " o, ... Stalin* the Dope . . o * t S' """TOME of these times a baseball magnate will postpone u__J a gs me because of hot weather. And then others will follow suit. It just hasn’t got to be a regular thing, so nobody thinks about It.. There was a game postponed in St. Louis a few years ago because of terrific heat, but it never got to be the style. The reason seems to be that the spectators will assemble on the hottest Say. The fans will come out in spite of the heat. Some day if all the fans get sunstruck and there’s nobody to make the turnstiles click a big-hearted magnate will call off the contest. Games have been postponed beof cold weather. Why not flkause of the heat? The Kansas furnace which is called a ball yard has put several Indians under during the present series. Schmandt was the latest casualty Wednesday. Cold weather has never been known to freeze a player. But them we forget. It is never for the benefit of the players that games are called off. Cold weather stiffens up the turnstiles and they fail to click. * * * SAVE you noticed how anew H college sport Is growing? Five years ago not more than six colleges in the United States boasted of rifle teams. The past winter some 100 were represented in team championship matches. Some of the very best shots may he found in college ranks. It is in the colleges and schools that the greatest development of rifle shooting has taken place. Most all of Indiana’s colleges have teams, and good ones. Even the high—schools are In line. It is said that Culver Military Academy, winner of the military school championship, has more than 150 boys shooting on its various teams. * * * Things you ought so know—that Zitzmann plays the outfield for Zinzinnati. % * • t 's Tis always with a feeling jml | I of regret that we hear of some veteran ball player Breaking a leg or spraining an ankle. So many time it means the beginning of the end. Such an unkind slap from Fate. A youngster has so much more opportunity to come back. And, especially, does sympathy go out to one who has always given his best and left the temperamental outbursts to others. Such a one is Rube Bressler of the Cincy Reds. His ankle injury sustained on Tuesday, probably, is not very serious. The doctor says Rube will be out a month. Bressler has been playing his characteristic steady game this season at first base and in the outfield. He has driven in more runs than any other Red. The layoff won’t help him any. The ankle was broken once before and perhaps, if the accident had to happen Bressler is lucky it wasn’t broken again. That’s a cheerful way to look at it.

DREAM MAKER ARCADT QUESADA NEDANA OLD CROW CAREFREE * * * M-—-1 CROSS the United States BA I by motor boat! It doesn’t seem possibie—and it isn’t, quite. There is a stretch where the boat must be taken overland, but the trip is being made by some Far West outdoor enthusiasts. It Is the first transcontinenteal motor boat cruise. The route is as follows: Astoria, Ore., up the Columbia River to Victoria, Snake River to Lewiston, Idaho, and then 250 miles overland to the head waters of the Missouri. Then in turn on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, the Illinois and Michigan canal, the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River, Richelieu River and canal, Lake Champlain and Hudson River to tl*c Atlantic. From coast to coast! * * * So far Jockey Sande will ride three horses in the Chicago Derby, according to press dispatches. Earl should join a circus. * * • f, ■ ,*1 HAT old saying about not I swapping horses in midI * I stream is getting an awful jolt in the National League. St. Louis led the way by deposing Branch Rickey and Appointing Rogers Hornsby. Chicago followed suit and elevated Maranville the other day. Maybe the Cards’ success under Hornsby had something to do with the Cubs’ change. The fcstyle has been started. We are A.n very much like sheep and "ollow the leader. Who knows but that the fashion will be continued in the majors as some teams continue to flounder? The old proverb has been changed to read, If you are drifting down the current swap horses In mid-streajp, you can’t* be any worse off.
