SiiiiiiiiiiintiiiuiiaiininiiDuiiuiiiiniiiiiuiniiiiniiiniiiiiniiiiiunn^'t TIRRIN’ the DOPE | By VEDDER 6ARD
1 TIRRIN’ THE DOPE I S I on a two weeks’ I I vacation next week, which, no doubt, is a sad blow to those who read this column. A lot of things can happen in a fortnight, but the sport fans will have to find other statements to argue about and disagree with than those dished out by this column. We’ll be back on the last day of August with anew supply of dope that will be stirred whether it needs it or not. While gone we expect to see several big league baseball clubs In action—and who knows —perhaps a few thoroughbreds run. There is one thing sure, Across the Board will not lose any counterfeit money. If there’s any lost it will be real hard-earned mazuma. And it won't be published to the world at large. So long until two weeks from next Monday—if our money holds out. * • * A though our distant relatives may have bee monkeys we hate to be made one by a typographical error such as occurred in this column on Friday. In duscussmg Umpire Freeman’s bad decisions in which he seemed to call the play too quickly we mentioned Umpire Billy Evans plan of folding his arms or clasping his hands so that he would not wave the player out or safe according to the dictates of his subconscious mind. We ended up by attempting to state that Billy says he makes his decisions, then does his waving. The sentence read. “Billy says he makes his decisions, then does his waiting.” This was exactly opsite from our meaning. 1 ••• : ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY.: 0 Across the Board had a pretty good dav on Friday, and added up several dollars. The $2 wtn-plaee-and-show parlay on Famine and Wuhu was the most profitable. It netted 539 when Famine won at bit odds and Wuhu came in second. One of these days a parlay Is goine to hit on the nose—and we’ll get out an extra. . The place price for a $2 ticket on Famine was $10.40 and the show $5.80. Wuhu paid $8.70 to place and $3.50 to show-. Pyroot won in the third at Toney at odds of $5.40 for a $2 ticket The $lO play earned sl7. Tile $lO win water on Nancy Langhqrnc lost us just that when Nancy dldn t feel like running in the mud. .... The total winnings for the day were S4O. The hank roll now stands .at. $478.50. And it will have to stand that way for two weeks. Across the Board 's going on a vacation. \\c promise not to spend any of the $4 78.50. which is dedicated to the ponies exclusievly. * • • _„ j e have a great idea. It has VU been thought of only some hundreds of times before, but that makes no difference. Baseball at night! That’s it. We believe in minor league cities, at least, such an innovation would increase the attendance twofold. You know there are a few folks who work. They can not get out in the afternoon. All this comes to mind because of the fine attendance at the swim meet Friday night at Broad Ripple. Probably more people were on hand than at any time during the trials for the American Olympic team squad last year which brought here all of the greatest stars. U People are looking for entertainment at night when they are forced to pass up afternoon events, because they are busy with various tasks. If .ou don’t believe it glance bac,: a* basketball attendance over the State. Night contests help make the sport popular. But to get back to baseball. The diamond pastime played at night may seem a dream. But many a more fantastic idea has become a reality. It does seem possible that huge lights might be placed far enough away from a field so the players would escape the glare and make a real daylight effect. This is a job for Edison and his associates to work on. We do not believe any real effort has bet 7 made to perfect such a lighting system. Many will laugh at this wild idea. Just look around and see how many more wonderful things have been accomplished. There isn’t much doubt but that the attendance would be considerably increased at the ball yards. Saturday and Sunday are the big days now in minor leagues and majors, to a certain extent. Night g eut es may be played at some fut ire time if some electrical genius really set himself to the teak of working out the big problem of lighting. And the turnstiles will click throughout the week, not only on the last two days. fc V ;HEN Lieutenant Porter, yy last Tuesday night, anU nouneed that Johnny Croake, Chicago bantam would appear in the eight-round semi-wind-up of next Tuesday night's boxing show, many fans were heard to murmur, “Who the (swear word) is Croake?” Indianapolis fight fans who attended . the Carpentier-Gibbons show at Michigan City last summer will remember a whirlwind preliminary in which Mickey Cone of Kokomo and another little fellow had the crowd cheering, a bout which was declared a draw and which was given favorable mention by all the Chicago sports writers. Well, Johnny Croake was the “other little fellow" in that bout. Croake is one of the familiar figures in the rings around the Windy City, and is known as a “fighting fool,” having engaged in fifty ring battles in the last year. • * • Just what does it take to stop Louisville? The Colonels got only four hits on Friday against Minneapolis and made seven errors. Were they stopped? Did you ever grab a cyclone by the tail in one of its weaker moments? The Kentucky outfit won with ease, 7 to 3. * • * S r "~IOME of the divers at Broad Ripple must be centipedes or crabs that grow another moot when one is lost. The announcer before each dive Friday night would yell something like this, “Mr. Churchman, front jack knife, taken off both feet,” or “Mr. Shields, back jack knife, take off one foot." The slaughter was awful, but when the swimmers got back on the platform they seemed to be all together.
