JUNE 1926

TIRRIN’ the DOPE | By VEDDER GARD

TWO GREAT ATHLETES rrirriONSISTENCY, thou art a V I 3 ewel - Phillips of Butler t i has been boosted time after time in, this column and once more we wan]t to say in capital letters—THAT YOUTH IS A WONDERFUL MIDDLE DISTANCE RUNNER. He doesn’t ran one day and falter the next. He is consistently great. When Uncle Sam starts looking around for his Olymp’c team in 1928, he surely can not pass up Hemion Phillips. When an athlete can win in such a meet at the National Collegiate A. A. tourney he has accomplished something. When he runs the 440 in 48.7, he is rambling. Butler never has become half excited enough about its star runner. And while showering praises on Phillips we must not forget a local youth. Paul Harrington, who competes for Notre Dame. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest college pole vaulters. Paul flew to Chicago in an airplane for the meet. When he got there he kept right, on flying and cleared the bar at 13 feet, 3 inches. * • * Gil Doble of Cornell Is to teach football at the University of Illinois summer course for athletic coaches. The gloomy one should he able to hand out some firsthand information concerning the Dartmouth aerial attack. His eleven saw and felt the barrage in all Its power. Probably Dobie’s tip to the assembled coaches will be. “Go get yourselves an Oberlander.” • * * An accurate measurement of the track at Sold&ers* field, Chi* rago, was to be made today. On the result of the check will depend a world’s record. Alva Martin of Northwestern ran the half-mile in the astonishing time of 1:31/7 at the N. C-. A. A. meet on Saturday. The world’s record is held by .Meredith and is 1:52,?. * • • . STATE SHOOT mHE Indiana State Trapshooters’ Association will hold its Thirty-second annual State championship meet at the Indianapolis Gun Club next week on June 22, 23 and 24. Indiana champions In singles daubles and handicap events will be decided. Class titles also will be at stake. $1,500 in trophies ahd $225 In cash will he distributed, i Seth Klein, whom many saw ' last at the Indianapolis Speedway, waving the checkered flag at Lockhart, is the president, of the State Association. WilliaiVi Burford Jr. is the prexy of the local club. • • • The rules which will govern Illi- . nois boxing under the recently organized commission probably will be macfe public shortly. Every one interested in the fight game is eagerly awaiting the action —especially the Chicago promoters. It is rumored that top prices will be fixed at sls. • * * Aqueduct race track began a twenty-day meeting today. The thirty-eighth running of the Brooklyn handicap was the feature of the opening program. American Flag was a pronounced favorite. FOR MICHIGAN ALUMNI STIS is especially for alumni of the University of Michigan. Others need not read it: it might make them feel had. Seldom has a school made such a remarkable showing In athletics as the 'Wolverines during the past year. The basketball team tied for the Big Ten title after apparently being forced out of the running by ineligibility. At the end of the year most critics believed Michi- • I gan had the most powerful club in the conference. Every one knows what the Wolverines did on the gridiron. The great eleven was rated on equal terms with Dartmouth, Tulane and Alabama, for national honors. But that’s the half of it, Mabel. The amazing Wolverines went out and copped the outdoor track championship of the Big Ten and also took the baseball title. Michigan has reached the peak. * • • It Is always rather disconcerting to the race track followers to see different horses picked In the same race as the best bets of the day. Probably neither selection wins when the result comes lh. There is no more uncertain game .In the sport category. GUN CLUB RESULTS C. M. Brooks of Glenwood, Ind., was high in the singles at the registered trap shoot of the Indianapolis Gun Club, Saturday, breaking 99 out of 100 targets. Patterson and Lines tied in the handicap with 24 out of 25. Wendling took the honors in the doubles with 23 out of 12 pair. Wendling was high gun over all with 140 out of 149 targets. i , . NOTRE DAME LEADER *Bv Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 14. Richard “Red’’ Smith is the captain of next year’s Notre Dame baseball team. He was elected immediately after the last game of the season Saturday with Michigan State, which was won by the “Irish,’’ 6 to 0. DRAKE LEADER Bv United Press DES MOINES. lowa, June 14. — Ray Dalbey, pole waulter will lead next year’s Drake University track team.

OWNIE BUSH, ILL, RETURNS HOME; OPERATION IS PROBABLE

Manager of Indians, Stricken in Minneapolis, Leaves Team in Sicking’s Charge—Appendicitis Is Cause. By Eddie Ash Ownie Bush, popular manager of the Indians, left the team in Minneapolis late Sunday night to return to his Indianapolis home. The peppery pilot had a severe re-occurrence of an appendicitis attack in the Miller city Sunday and physicians who examined him advised an immediate operation.

Manager Ownie Bash

Billy Evans Says—

DIFFICULT TASK Making over a major league ball club is a difficult task. If you have your doubts, go Into conference with Connie Mack. In 1914 Mack boasted a pennant winner. He decided, for various reasons, to break up his team. The following year his club finished last. For seven successive years it was a tailender. Then the Mackian system began to make progress. Last season it was a contender all the way. It faltered only in the stretch. ’This year it is an even better combination. Only an absolute collaspe of the ball club will prevent the A.’s from having considerable to say as to who is going to win the American League pennant. * • • BOSTON RED SOX Owner Bob Quinn of the Boston Red Sox has been going through al! the hard luck that pursued Mack for seven years, since he acquired the Boston Americans. It wasn't much of a ball club that went with the sale, so immediate efforts were made to strengthen it. A number of veteran players, believed to have several years’ service still in their systems, were purchased. with the hope the Boston fans would see winning ball at once under the new ownership. For two months the veterans delivered in fine style,*but when Ivarm weather set in they wilted ajid the club dropped to the bottom. It was then decided to rebuild the team with young blood, no matter how long it to^k. -I- -I- -IGETTING A BREAK After several disappointing years it is beginning to look as if the efforts of Bob Quinn an’d Manager Lee Fohl were bearing fruit. Most necessary to a winning ball club in the majors is a strong infield. At present the Boston club is better fortified in infield strength than in any other department of play. Haney and Rigney, former Detroit stars, have filled the gaps at third and short in fine style. Mike Herrera. the Cuban, is a very satisfactory second baseman and Phil Todt is mighty capable at first. The Boston Red Sox have completed the laying of the foundation for a good team, in getting together an infield of major league caliber. The next problem is the outfield. In Ira Flagtsead, Manager Fohl has one of the best center fielders in the game. Two more outfielders like him would solve the situation. • • * Psychology in Sport There is qo doubt as to the power of psychology in sport. Recently the Philadelphia AthletIsc, after toppling over Washington and New York in seven out of nine games, invaded Boston for a fivegame series. The moment Howard Ehmke, star pitcher of the Red Sox, began warming up, hope of victory started to vanish on the part of the A.’s. “There is one guy who is tough for us to beat,” was the consensus of the Mackmen. Ehmke, since his entry into the majors, has been a jinx for the Philadelphia club. No matter how poorly he may he going, he always rises to great heights against the Athletics. This game was no exception. Pitted against the great “Uefty” Grove, Ehmke hurled faultlessly, shutting out the Athletes. 2-0. He drove in the first run and scored the other one. * * * STRANGE COINCIDENCE When the Athletics stopped New York after the Yankees had won 10 straight games, it was history repeating itself. Earlier in the season New York had won nine straight games when it met Philadeliphia in a three-game series. The Athletics won all three games. * Getting away from Philadeliphia. New York started on another winning streak that Reached sixteen straight, when the Mackmen were again encountered. This time in a four-game series. After breaking the streak, the Athletics won two more games, dropping the final contest. And in each instance, it was Southpaw Bob Grove who put an end to the Yankees’ winning ways.

Bush desired to undergo the operation there, but after talking with his mother. Mrs. Ellen Bush, 207 N. Walcott St., over long distance phone, he changed plans and boarded a train for home. He was due to arrive at 2:30 this afternoon. Hard Blow to Team Eddie Sicking, Tribe captain, was appointed by Bush to act as manager, and it is believed the team will be without the services of Ownie until the club returns home July 6. It is k hard blow for Bush to be absent from the Indians at this time, but his ailment evidently requires immediate surgical attention and it is evident that home is the place for him to be until after an operation or until improvement is made in hiS condition. Bush was bothered by appendix trouble last winter, but when spring training time neared, the trouble left him and he went South with the club. Smith on Way EastOwner Smith left for New York early Sunday evening, but probably will hustle back to Indianapolis just as soon as a wire reaches him telling of Bush's condition. According to information received from Jim Pierce, trainer with the Indians. Bush first complained of pains in Minneapolis Friday, and again Saturday. When local treatment failed to help the Tribe pilot, it was then that he consulted physicians and was informed that an operation or prologed treatment and rest would be necessary. COCHET WINS Singles Victor in French Hard Court Tennis. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, June 14. —Henri Cochet of France, today won the international hard court championship on the center court of the Racing Club by defeating Rene Lacoste, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3. Vincent Ricahds and Howard Kinsey hold the honors of being the first foreigners to take the hard courts doubles championship of France. The American pair won the dis tinction Sunday by defeating Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon, 6-4, 6-1, 4-6. 6-4. Kinsey was too weakened by the strain of the match to do his best in the mixed doubles that followed. Paired with Elizabeth Ryan he lost to L. A. Godfree and wife, the former Kitty McKane, 7-5, 6-3. The Godfrees then dropped a match to Suzanne Lenglen and Jacques Brugnon, 6-3, 6-3. Suzanne was victorious again when paired with “Didi” Vlasto. she won the women’s doubles championship by beating Mrs. Godfree and Evelyn Colyer of England, 6-1, 6-1.

Around the A. A.

’By Ef'riie Ash -

Theyrs never over until the last man is out. In the first half of the double header at. Kansas City Sunday. the Blues were leading. :i to 0, at the end of the eighth inning. In the ninth Toledo rallied and scored nine runs, and won. 0 to 3. Kansas City annexed a short second fray. John Anderson poled a home run. double and three singles for the Colonels Sun- 1 uay and his batting attack clayed a large part In Louisville's victory over the Saints. Schupp and Roettger walked ten batters. One pass forced in a run and six of the passes developed Into runs. Pitcher Eddleman of Milwaukee Is proving the sensation of the league. He has won eleven games. He has won eight straight. When he defeated the Senators in ‘the first half of Sunday's bill it was his sixth victory of the Brewers’ string of twenty straight. Riggs Stephenson, former Indian, got two singles and a double for the Chicago Cubs against Brooklyn Sunday. Hank Schrelber. who went to the majors with Riggs, has not appeared yet in the Cub line-up. Jess Petty, former Indian relieved Grimes Sunday and checked Chicago. Shortstop Maurice Shannon, obtained by the Tribe in the recent deal with the Cubs, has been suspended for not reporting. The Indians were In ' St. Paul today to battle Nick Allen's aggregation. Four games are scheduled there and one postponed during the Tribe’s first visit also may be played off. Wet grounds forced the postponement of the Sunday Indlanapolis-Minneapohs struggle and the Bushmen left the Flour City on the short end of two and one count in the series. Rube Benton allowed the Hooslers only three hits Saturday and the Millers won. 3 to 0. Carmen Hill pitched for the Indians. The old Rube was in rare form and was backed by brilliant support. Twenty In a row for Milwaukee! ’■he Brewers downed the Senators Saturday and also in a double-header Sunday. An overflow crowd witnessed the Sunday twin victory despite the fact a light rain fell most of the afternoon. Owner Borehert of the league leaders is sitting on top of the world eating hot sausages and watching the fans bow by. Manager Jack Leilvelt can have anything he wants in the Cream City, as that is one town where the fans go wild when the home team wins. Failure of Shsnnon to join the Indians has placed the team in a bad way. It is out on the road without a substitute infielder. Ernie Maun, a star hurler with the Indians last season, and who was drafted by the Philly Nationals, has been traded to Toledo for First Baseman Grimes. The Hens are going to "go somewhere 1 ' with their pitching staff bolstered. Maun has been of little service to the Phillies, but Manager Stengel of Toledo has an idea Ernie will win in the A. A. Toledo invaded Milwaukee today to tackle the record-breaking Brewers. Two former Indians figured in a spectacular play at Boston Saturday. Riggs Stephenson of the Cubs pickled the ball on the nose and drove it far away to the fence in deep left center, but Eddie Brown of the Braves extended his lengthy legs, lengthy body and lengthy arms and "snared the pellet for the best catch of the season in - Beantown.
