LOOKING BEFORE THEY LEAP "JOT so fast there, Chicago fight fans. Wait a minute. I__J The new Illinois boxing .commission is trying to get itself straightened out. The bouts talked about in JuVie seem improbable now with the fight commissioners still in the throes of organization. / While promoters champ at the bit the governing body for ring affairs is trying to find out just 'what it is all about before step~ping out and getting down to business. Look before you leap, is the motto. It seems a good one, at that. It is to be hoped that the commission will use such calm deliberation in< all questions that come before it. Maybe the Illinois -ring czars have learned a few ■ things from the mistakes of the SNew York outfit, which jumps at "conclusions and then retracts pater. 1 Bud Taylor and Rosenberg were ‘.scheduled to box in Chicago sometime in June for the bantam title. One can see how the wind blows, (however, as Bud has left for the Coast for a couple of bouts. The Terre Haute boy is scheduled with California Joe Lynch at San Francisco on June 18, and with Chuck Heilman in Portland 1 on June 25. * • * The withdrawal of Albrecht Kipp in the city tennis tourney singles leaves Julius Sagalowsky what appears to be a clear sweep in liis bracket. We don’t like to predict defeat for any of the brilliant youngsters in the meet, but “Sag” looks like the class. Hennessey vs. Sagalowsky in the finals seems* almost certain. Now, somebody go out and upset the dope. That’s what makes any sport event interesting. ** * V A REMARKABLE MAN | |OM ECK, famous old-time I. I I athlete and athletic coach, I . Jto be buried today, was a remarkable character. For the past eleven years he was the trainer of track athletes at Chicago U., but in his prime he was a world famous athlete in various ( lines of sport. Among his activities were riding running horses, driving’ harness racers, playing cricket 1 and lacrosse, ice skating, walking, run’ning, bicycle riding and jumping. He is said to have invented ball bearing roller skates and the bikewheel race sulky. , He' built the first board track for bike racing, put up the first rubbing board for massaging athletes and managed the first six-day bicycle race. The sports world lost a real pioneer w r hen Tom Eck died. * * * The Big Ten golf tourney will be held Friday and Saturday at a .Chicago course. Purdue and Indiana will have entries. Purdue’s squad is composed of Fridlin, Aldinger, Murphy and Lehman. I. U.’s teams: Redding, Gronendyke, Utley and Nelson. Kenneth T-lisert of Chicago defends his individual title and Northwestern will be out'to retain the team championship. , ' * * * "TJ-IPONSLER of Indiana U. was' a smart basketball player. Therefore Lapel High School has obtained a smart coach for next year. There is a difference in athletes. Some do things intuitively and through natural ability. They don’t know just how or why things happen. Others are real fetudents of the game. They THINK during the ’contest. They use their brains as hard as they use their legs and arms. Sponsler comes under the latter classification* * * * BAMBINO FANS YiOU do or you don't. Papers throughout the country carL.— ried almost as big headlines today telling of Babe Ruth striking out with the bases full in Monday’s game at Cleveland as they did when he got his nineteenth home run. The pitiless glare of publicity focuses on the Babe every time he steps to the plate. The Babe does- carry some; thing up to the batters’ box besides a long bat. He carries a heavy load on those powerful shoulders—the knowledge that a nation of fans is watching his every move. Hb knows if he fails there won’t be much mercy shown. He realizes that from the past when he has 1 slumped. It is very nice to be on the throne, but it has its drawbacks along with its advantages. Bambino should feel pretty good tliis year, however. All of m fandom at the present time seems to lie pulling for him. Tliat ought to help a lot. ** * • The miracle finally happened. Columbus won a ball game. The Senators seem to find Louisville easier than any other club. The - cellar occupants won two from the Colonels at the Ohio city in a previous series. MISSOURI VALLEY GOLF Women in First Round of Meet at Omaha, Neb. Bu Times Special OMAHA, Neb., June 8, —Mrs. O. S.

What change, if any, lias been made by the rules committee relative to what a substitute pitcher must do before he can be removed from the name? ** * / By the addition of six words to section 3 of rule 33 all chance for argument in this situation has been eeliminated. The old rule said when a relief pitcher was sent in he had to pitch until the batsman was either retired or reached first. , . In a certain major league pame several vears ago, with the bases filled and two out. the manager of the team in the field sent in a relief pitcher. After throwing one ball to the batsman he caught the runner on firse napping, retiring the side. In the next half inning the manager desired to send in a pinch-liitter for the pitcher who had retired the side bv catching the runner on first napping. The opposing team contended that according to the rules he couldn’t be removed, since lie had not pitched until the batsman was retired or reached first. . It was a technical question, not based on common sense, but to avoid it coming up again the rule now reads, in addition to the old wording, these six words. “Or the side has been retired,” ALL-NEGRO SHOW FRIDAY Battling Johnnie and Jackie Moore In Main Bout.

TRIBESMEN END HOME STAY BY BEATING HENS

Hill Hangs Up Ninth Pitching Victcy and Gets Three Hits —Two ‘Off Days.’ By Eddie Ash Ownie Bush’s inJians knocked off the Toledo Hens, 8 to 2, Monday in the finale of the series and the team will rest two days before swinging back into action at Minneapolis Thursday.

The Tribesmen will be away from' home until July 6. They will visit seven cities in the order named: Minneapolis, St. Paul, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Toledo, Columbus and Louisville. This extended journey In enemy territory will put the Bushmen to the big test. Trade With Cubs The players are in good physical condition to travel the long, long trail and the team is expected to hold Its own if Outfielder Munson and Shortstop Shannon live up to past records and reputation. These players come to the Indians in a trade that sends Outfielder Stephenson and Shortstop Schreiber to the Chicago Ctibs. Carmen Hill turned in his ninth "win” of the season Monday and held the slugging Hens to eight hits. Pitcher Paul McCullough got two home runs eff Hill for the only markers registered by Toledo. Hill more than made up for McCullough’s surprise feat by getting a double and two singles. He drove in three runs, scored two himself and stole a base. Two of the league’s best hitters, Lebourveau and Veach, were fooled by Carmen. Veach was held hitless and Lebourveau got one hit, a scratch in the eighth. Four in Seventh McCullough weakened, but Hill didn’t. And that's the story of the Monday fracas. The game was tied at 2 and 1 in the sixth, but In the seventh the Indians went on the war path and plastered McCullough for four runs. And they followed with two in the eighth. The Hens were unable to damage Hill for runs in the last four innings. McCullough poled a home run over the low left field fence in the third stanza and in the fifth he drove the ball over the high left field fence. No one was on when the Hen pitcher got his circuit clouts. He struck out in the seventh and gave way to a ptnch hitter in the ninth. Toledo made an effort to start something in the ninth. Groh singled after one out and Hevlng hit too hot for Sicking. Steagel batted for English and forced Heving and Myers batted for McCullough and forced Stengel.

Ball Park Gossip

“Wabash Joe” Wyatt made a grtat catch of Veach’s drive to deep left center in the fourth stanza Monday. The wallop was ticketed for three bases. Reb Russell went without a hit for tiie first time in a long stretch. He sacrificed once and walked once. Bobby Veach found Tribe pitching a puzzle in the four-game series. In fourteen times at bat he got only two hits. Burweli, Wisner and Hill stopped him. Heinie Groh got only one bingle in the series. Maguire of the Hens garnered three singles Monday and was robbed of an extra-base blow in the eighth when Matthews sprinted into left center to make a sparkling catch of his low line drive. Matthews got four one-base safeties for the Indians. One was a bunt. He drove in two runs. Pitcher Hill and Catcher Hartley worked in harmony.. Carmen drove in Grover three times. Hartley got a single, double and triple. Maguire and Sicking played good ball at secopd and Miller enjoyed a fine day at short. * Holke tripled in the third and tried to Score when Maguire juggled Koehler’s throw-in, but was nailed at the plate. By defeating Toledo Monday while Kansas City was losing to St. Paul, the Indians climbed into third place in the league race. Milwaukee took the lead as Louisville dropped a game to the Senators. Milwaukee is the third team to hold the coveted position this season. Louisville and Kansas City have been “up there,” the former most of the time. Indians and Hens have met seven times this season and the Bushmen have won six games. The Brewers won their fourteenth straight game Monday when Dave Danforth puzzled the Millers. Lelivelt’s crew tied the league record for consecutive victories. Louisville established the mark last season. Murray of the Blues neglected to touch the plate as he scored in the ninth Monday and he was chased and touched out by Catcher Hoffman of the Saints. His run didn’t count and St. Paul won, 10 to 9. Tony Faeth held the Colonels to four hits and Columbus finally won its tenth game of the season, 14 to 1.

Two Indians for Two Cubs

Riggs Stephenson and Henry Schreibbr, outfielder and shortstop, left the Indians late Monday to answer the “big league call.” They were traded to the Chicago Cubs for Outfielder Joe Munson and Shortstop Maurice Shannon. Shannon was with Louisville last season and hit .294. Munson played with Harrisburg in the New YorkPennsylvania League and batted .400. If Shannon plays up to his 1925 form the deal is expected to make the Tribe a better ball club. H® s a capable left-handed batter and Munson also swings portsided. And Shannon also Is not bad from the other side of the plate. Manager Bush figures the trade will bolster the attack of his team against right-handed pitching and also brace the infield defense. The Indians .lose a mighty slugger in Stephenson, but in baseball it is necessary frequently to give away something good in order to correct weaknesses—and that is the "why” of the Stephenson-Schreiber deal with the Chicago Nationals.

Battle Thursday in New ! York Ring.

By Paul W. White, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June B.—Paul Berlenbach Young Stribling today completed their training program for Thursday night’s championship bout In which Berlenbach’s light heavyweight title will be at stake. Both fighters are close to the 175pound weight fimit and scarcely half a pound will separate them. Although, for one of the few times in pugilistic history, a challenger has been a favorite over ■ champion, the odds virtually were even today when reports spread that Stribling was trained too finely. Those who watched him in his final boxing workout Monday agreed that he was on edge. His nerves seemed drawn and the tautness i. some effect upon the timing of blow against sparring partners. “Pa” Stribling, the challenger’s father and manager, said he believed his son was trained to perfection, however. “Now that he will have two days just for light exercise, his nerves will get a rest and put him at exactly the right edge,” the older Stribling said. There is widespread Interest In the bout. ONE IS LEFT Mary K. Browne Remains in Tennis Meet.
