Smmßßmmmmmammmm tirrinT the DOPE z By VEDDER GARD

HARD TO GUESS ONNIE MACK very likely twisted a score card to pieces Sunday. At the same time his Athletic pitchers were getting thumped at Detroit he could see by the scoreboard that Heimach, just traded to the Boston club, was hhr ling great ball against Cleveland. The Red Sox lost, 1 to o—but that surely was not Heimach’s fault. Manager Hendricks wanted to release Carl Mays, but the Cincy club directors wouldn’t listen. The “submarine" ball artist beat the Cubs Sunday, 5 to i, allowing only seven scattered blows. Ail of which proves that ball players are strange phenomena, and may do anything or nothing. When one thinks a player is through he starts to play; when one believes a diamond star is ready for a big year, he stops and goes into reverse gear. Sometimes a change of scenery makes a mediocre performer into a star. Sometimes anew manager or coach polishes up a diamond in the rough until he scintillates. It Is a strange pastime, thisnational game of ours. Its upsets and possibilities are many and intriguing. Just what will happen next, no one knows. Part of baseball’s popularity hinges on the uncertainty of the sport. •' • • • Here’s a chance for an investigation. Far up over Irvington on Sunday afternoon we noticed an aviator doing a corkscrew twist in Ivis plane. He was right out in the open with it, too. • • • TyvIHEN H. BELL and Haines y/J of the Cardinals allow the - ■ J Boston Nationals only one run in two games Saturday, and Sherdel comes right back to shut out Brooklyn with two hits on Sunday it is time for seven other National League managers to BEWARE. St. Louis doesn’t need that kind es pitching to win. They' usually blast out plenty of runs. All of ■which makes the Cards vera, vera dangerous. • * • Do your stuff, Indians. You come from a part of this free country that believes in “setting" on the Brewers. The Colonels took quite a bit of the “kick” out of Milwaukee before the arrival of the Tribe, but there yet remains much to be accomplished. * • * Umpire Hank O’Day chose a bad day to get back into the game after an operation for appendicitis. Hank “broke in" again on Sunday at Cincinnati and ran right into a doubleheader.

AN ARGUMENT mU ST to clear up a little argument that took place in the White Owl barber shpp the other day. It was all about Morehart of the Chicago White Sox, who took Eddie Collins’ place at second recently when the veteran manager was out of the game. * Some were positive that Morehart never had played with Chicago before. If these gentlemen care to look up the-records they will find that Ray Morehart joined the Sox in 1924. He was obtained from Flint of the Michigan-Ontario League and played in twenty-seven games at shortstop during the latter part of the year. At Flint he batted .294 and fielded .958 in 92 games during 1924. He bats left-handed and his average was exactly .200 in 1924 for the Chicago club. Morehart’s fielding average also was low, being only .873, the very lowest among the shortstops. Last season the name of Ray Morehart appears on the official Ist of players of the Chicago club. It is not known whether he was farmed out to some club or whether he remained on the bench all season. At any rate, he has been the property of the White Sox since 1924. • • • In looking over the amateur baseball notes today we note tyrat the Acme A. A. turned In a victory Sunday afternoon behind a pitcher rejoicing in the nickname of “dynamite.” He didu’t blow up, however, as on© would expect, but hurled shutout ball. • • • ■pTjHRISTENSEN, former St. f Paul outfielder, who has en- ■■ 7 J tertained the fans at Washington Park by his wise cracks, acrobatics and great playing is up to his old tricks with the Cincy 'Reds. Walter shined especially before the big crowds. The Reds played before some 25,000 fans in the double-header Sunday against the Cubs. Christensen made two remarkable catches in the second fracas, and after on© of them doubled up a base-runner at the plate with a beautiful throw. The fans applauded and the center fielder turned a couple of flipflops. How that fellow does strut his stuff! The greater the crowd the greater his performances. FRENCH BOXER ARRIVES BU United Brest NEW YORK. June 21,—Fred Bretonnel, French lightweight champion for the past four years, has arrived here with hi% father-manager, Jules Bretonnel. Fred, who won the title when he was 17 years old, expects to meet Stanislaus Loayza, Chilean, next month. THEY WORKED OVERTIME Oscar Melillo and Walter Gerber, Browns’ inflelders, put in a busy afternoon around the keystone sack In a game with Cleveland not long ago. The pair had twenty-four chances, Gerber getting thirteen and Melillo eleven, the latter,' falling down on two of his. The Brownies, incidentally, turned in twenty-five assists during the fray, whisib went eleven innings. V

WESTERN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY STARTS AT WOODSTOCK!

INDIANS TAKE ON BREWERS Tribe Invaded Milwaukee for Four Games—Louisville Back in Lead. Closely pursued by the K. C. Blues, the Indians, In third place, were in Milwaukee today to open a four-game series with Jack Lelivelt’s Brewers, who were pulled out of the league lead over the weekend by the hustling Colonfels. The tribesmen, under Acting Manager Sicking, annexed a doubleheader at Kansas City Saturday, 5 to 4 and 2 to 1, and extended their winning streak tp six straight, but in the Silnday twin bill the Hooslers faltered and suffered a double defeat, 13 to 3 and 5 to 3. Since leaving the home park, the Indians have won’seven games and lost four, which is a very good record in enemy territory. Speece, Burwell and Henry did the Tribe pitching Saturday and Thompson, Niles, Stanton and Wisner worked on the mound in the Sabbath conflicts. Today the Tribesmen were three games back of the second-place Brewers and four and one-half games below the champion Colonels. The Blues, in fourth position, were two and one-half games back of the Indians. Louisville knocked off Milwaukee four straight and Brewer rooters were jolted badly. A crowd of 15,502 attended the twin . bill in the Cream City Sunday to set an attendance record for Otto Borchert’s park.

Around the A. A.

By Eddie Ash Ownie Bush, manager of the Indians, who is in St. Vincent Hospital recovering from an appendicitis operation, will be- removed to his home Thursday, it was said at the hospital today. Bush was operated on last Wednesday after he had suffered attacks while with the club at Minneapolis. The series starting at Milwaukee today is the fourth since the Indians left Indianapolis. They visit Toledo, Columbus and Louisville before completing their “world's tour." The boys won’t be home until July 6. The Tribesmen broke even at Kansas City—two victories and two defeats. Tire three-run rally in the eighth inning of the second fracas Sunday, prevented the Tribesmen from taking that battle. Joe Mnnson, ri£w outfielder, got two singles and a double in the first struggle, Sunday. The Hoosiers made four errors in that fray and their pitchers failed* to puzzle the Blues. Stanton, who finished on the mound, is a college twirler from St. Louis University. He allowed three hits in one inning and walked one batsmen.

Lefty Thompson was knocked off the mound in the second inning. Wlsner pitched fairly good ball in the closing encounter, but not well enough to win with only three runs behind him. Grover Hartley poled a double and two singles in the wtnd-up battle. A crowd of 8,582 was present to view the Sabbath bargain program. Outfielder Cullop of St, Paul was Injured Sunday, when struck over the heart by a pitched ball. He was carried from the field. A bad luck jinx appears to be following this athlete. Cullop and Hoffman dtove out home runs to help defeat the Toledo Hens. Earl Smith clouted J home run, double and two singles for the Millers and Columbus lost another game. The Indians got bad breaks in the wind-up at Kansas City Sunday when they lost, 5 to 3. They were leading, 3 to 2, in the efghth. Nicholson, first up In the Blues’ half, fanned. Branom was struck on the wrist and went to first. Smith hit safely to left field and Rehg juggled the grounder long enough for Branom to score all the way from first. The scorers did not charge an error, but Rehg should have fielded the ball in time to hold Branom at. third at least. Smith reached second on it. Murray walked and Smith stole third. Snyder fanned, but Meine produced a double, scoring Smith a.nd Murray. And away went the ball game from the Indians. NEGRO BOXING PROGRAM Three Tep-Roimd Bouts at Tomlinson Hall June 30. There will be an all-Negro boxing show at Towlinson Hall June 30, it was announced today. The - Century A. C. will promote the event.

Excellent Field Competes in First Round Matches of Men’s Singles. All first round matches in the men’s singles of the championship tourney of the Western Lawn Tennis Association, were scheduled this afternoon starting at 2 o’clock at the Woodstock courts.

G" OLF drives, especially from the first tee, do not mark J with any degree of accuracy the real ability of a player. If anything, the flrßt drive by most players is dubbed. Ask any player, and he will tell you, "I dub my first shot because I am stage frightened.” It would be a grand and glorious feel lng in the lives of many if they could throw the ball and etart from where it lights. We sat on the bench at the first tee, South Grove, Sunday while golfers milled about waiting for their chance to start. Most of them practiced in preparation, but invariably the first drive was a failure, no matter how much the practice.

This summer more hoys than ever are going to play golf. The tournament just closed disclosed to ninety boys that they can play golf, and play It well. Practice will make these boys contenders for The Times championship next year, which will be won by anew contender. Jack Merriam, the winner this year, wtll be out of school.
