t^rrin! the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

BASEBALL STRATEGY B'JASEBALL strategy Is a very peculiar thing. The _ fans who have the second guess always howl when/ a manager makes a move on the diamond chess board that fails to “pan out.” The spectators then do the panning. , It Is all more or less a matter of luck. A pinch hitter hits, or he doesn’t. A relief pitcher Is effective, or he isn't. A sacrifice hit paves the way for a run and the fans who yelled, “Hit it out" are silenced until the next time. A player hits into a double play Instead of “laying one down” and the razzberries are served. A batter smacks one on the nose instead of sacriflicing and the fans shout, "That’s crossing ’em up.” It Is all very easy for the second guessers, but tough on the manager who has to guess first. Fans are very unreasonable at times and m great many of them have their own pet ideas regardless of tlte situation. Many do not know one-half as much as they think they do. Last Sunday when Wisner got knocked out of the box by Columbus in a big rally, Thompson was sent in. The big boy tyas not there. He didn’t have a thing. Anybody that knew baseball could see he was ineffective and was not going to get any better. But when Bush took the lefty out and put Hill in to save the situation, many fans yellled: "Let Thompson have a chance. Leave him In there.” The sentiment was all right, but baseball games are not won that way. Hill saved the game by hurling invincible ball. By this we do not mean the manager is always right. It Is all a game of ’’breaks,” anyway. What a time Tyrus Raymond Cobb had Friday at New York when the Yankees won out in the ninth by scoring three runs. It was the second ninth inning rally in three days, that meant defeat for the Tigbrs. In the eighth inning Johns, after pitching great ball, weakened and Stoner relieved him. The score at this time was 3 to I In favor of Detroit. In the ninth Ruth opened with a single. With Gehrig and Combs coming up Cobb sent in Cooper, a left-hander, to pitch. Cooper got Gehrig, but Coombs doubled, sending Ruth to third. Lazzeri then came through with a triple which tied the score at 3-all. Cooper was relieved by Holloway to face Dugan. “Jumping Joe” got hold of one for a single to right and the game was over. Cobb guessed wrong, but some big bats had something to do with it. * In the same situation again, Cobb’s strategy might work out all right. Then Instead of a “big bum” Ty would be a managerial genius. You do or you don’t in baseball. And If you don’t the fans are not long In broadcasting the fact to all within hearing distance of leather lungs. * * * “Is Zat So?" the prize fight comedy, full of “tough” talk, which is still running in New York, is also running on the race tracks. The play finally is famous. A race horse has been named after it. . - * * • , ANY ICE? SIdME folks run a good thing Into the ground. The pub- ■■ lie may want to be fooled —but there Is a limit. The moving picture publicity agents have found the public so gullible that the “dream boys” try to put over anything. Shut your eyes and try to imagine this. It concerns Red Grange and comes direct from Hollywood tbday. “Asa movie actor I’m a good Ice man,” said the famous gridiron •tar. -“l’m leaving for Wheaton tomorrow. I’ve got my old job back, driving one of Thompson’s ice tnueijs at $lB per week. Boy, I’m happy.” • * * STEPPING ON IT SHOSE little 91-inch motors are getting tuned up. It always takes time to develop anew engine and next year at the Indianapolis Speedway the cars should be perfected to a point where there twill be less trouble and more finishers. When the tiny “boats” start hitting it up around 130 miles an hour it Is time to sit up and take notice. Pete De Paolo qualified Friday' for the Atlantic City board track event today at an average of 133 miles an hour. Most all of the drivers sent their mounts around the oval at more than 125 miles an hour. The program appeared interesting with three sixty-mile sprints and a 120-mile event on the program. For Uirllls that ought to beat a 500-mile race.

Bu United Press BROOKLYN. July 17.—Jack Delaney, new light-heavyweight champion, arose this “feeling fine” after his hard fight with Paul Berlenbach.

Twelve Fly Balls, One Assist

Wid Matthews

For an outfielder to have more chances than the first baseman is something unusual in baseball, but that’s what occurred In Louisville Friday. Wid Matthews, Tribe center fielder, had twelve putouts and one assist as the Indians defeated the Colonels behind the splendid pitching of Dutch Henry. The error charged against Matty was on a ground ball. He got an assist by making a neat catch and throwing to first base for a doubleplay. Holke had eleven chances at first. f Matty “went and got ’em” during the two battles in Derbytown and cut oft vicious drives several times.

I .1 Gibbs, vice president of the Indiana State Women's Golf Association, in referring to the influx of entries to the State championship tournament to be held oyer the Indlanaoplls Country Club course next week, Monday to Friday, inclusive. Last year at South Bend eightythree played and Mrs. Gibbs sees no reason why the 1926 list won’t tally over 100. At the present time arrangements have been made to bracket the first sixteen low scorers In the qualifying round In the championship bracket, and form a bracket for each sixteen thereafter, under some various title as consolation prize brackets. Brackets to care for ninety-six players have been arranged, and if the number of entrants go over that, then additional brackets of eight players each will b<> formed, according to Mrs. Gibbs/ f • • The Country Club offered the course open to practice all this week Including this morning and Sunday afternoon, holding Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning as times when the members will play. It was a courtesy appreciated by the entrants and a group of players have been on the course every day this week and this morning more than ever were out. Most of the South Bend and other northern Indiana players are scheduled to arrive Sunday and no doxibt they will practice Sunday p. m. * * •. Tonight the pairing of all entrants on file will take place.

It is called to the attention of the entries that the official program calls for 8 a. m. as the starting time, but due to the distance from town to the course It was decided to give the women thirty minutes more time.

At this time over $250 In prizes also was distributed to the lucky players In the first day’s play. The S7OO prize money was to have been divided into eight parts, but the unusual feature of the last -five men In the first nins all getting a low net score of 75, upset the original plans.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Landis and Hickey Are Guests as Tribe Celebrates A. A.’s Silver Anniversary—Henry Shines Friday. * By Eddie Ash The scene of the Colonel-Indian series shifted to Washington Park this afternoon and loyal followers of the Bushmen were eager to get out to the Tribe lot and do some shouting as a mark of appreciation for the home team’s feat of knocking off their Kentucky rivals twice in Louisville.

Hill and Henry were the heroes of the struggles-in Derbytown, the former winning Thursday, 2 to 1, and the latter-hurling the Indians to victory, 5 to 4, in twelve innings Friday. It pennant-raising day at Louisville Friday and also the celebration of the silver anniversary of the American Association. And Louisville was bumpted off v before 6,000 rooters! - Red Hot Contest It was a thrilling contest for the crowd. The Colonels came from behind twice to tie the score, and it took four extra rounds to determine a Errors contributed to the scoring now and then, but It was a red hot ball battle nevertheless. George Fisher blasted a homer fOTer the right field fence with Sicking on base in the first inning for the outstanding feature. Yoter opened the twelfth with a singje and Hartley beat out an infield base knock. Henry sacrificed, and when Devormer made a poor throw trying to catch Yoter napping off third little Elmer scored with what proved the run of victory. Milwaukee won easily at Kansas City Friday ahd the fact that Louisville lost enabled the Brewers to climb into the league lead for the second time this season. The Colo-

AROUND THE A. A.

The Indians came up from Louisville Friday night and the Colonels made the Journey this morning. It looks like a wild week-end at Washington Park. The Bushmen got ten hits Friday and the Colonels eleven. Captain Sicking turned in another good day in the field and poled a single and double. Wid Matthews chased here and there in the outfield and gathered In fly balls to the number of twelve. He also had one assist. His one mlscue came on a fumbled grounder, Matty failed to hit one safe, but managed to land on base to score two runs. Grover Yfartley smacked the ball off Joe Deberry for a double and two singles. One Colonel tried to steal and Grover nailed him. George Fisher drove in three runs. His homer accounted for two and in the third inning he sent Matty home with a sacrifice fly. Walter Holke drove in the Tribe marker scored in the eighth. Dutch Henry opened the eighth tit Louisville Friday with a double. Matty bunted for a sacrifice, but failed to connect properly apd Henry sprinted back to second when the Colonels threw to third. Matty was safe at first and moved to second when Sicking forced Henry at third.’ Fisher fanned, but Holke singled, scoring Matty. Now that the Brewers are back In the lead, not a few A.

Dave Danforth Is said to be throwing his “cheater” again when the score Is close and the opposition has mdn on bffses. St. Paul rallied in the ninth Friday, scored two runs and nosed out the Millers, 8 to 2. Milwaukee slaughtered the Blues, twinning easily, 10 to 3. The Brewers crossed the plate six times in the third inning. Don’t become frightened Sunday when the Louisville rooters hit town. They are coming by train, interurban and auto at least 2,00# strong. It is a remarkable baseball expedition for mid-season. Sport lovers in Louisville kick their heels high. The Brotherhood of Boosters of Louisville presented .a loving cup to Umpire Jim Murray Friday. That’s probably the first time In professional baseball that an umpire received a trophy. Umpire Connolly received a fountain pen.

Pitcher Buck Ibchemanske, who became ill before the Indians left the Hot Springs training camp early in April, Is recovering at his Detroit home. He has managed to regain fifteen pounds since leaving the hospital.

He got four hits at K. C. Friday and his batting average is .411. He will not jolq the Browns until next season. Milwaukee already has received Pitchers Jonnard and Robertson in the Shulte deal and is now after a second baseman. The Brewers have borrowed Catcher Wells from K. C. for use while McMenemy Is on the crippled list. Young is the other Milwaukee catcher. For a club In fourth place to loan a player to a team in first position is a knock to the league.

NEW CHAMPION REIGNS IN LIGHT-HEAVY CLASS Jack Delaney ‘Wins by a Mile’ Over Berlenbaok—Clever Canadian Too Much for Paul. , By Henry A. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 17.—One tall, handsome French-Canuck, knnvn to his parents as Oville Chapdelaine and registered in the fight records as Jack, Delaney, checked out of his hotel in the “roaring forties’ ’this morning and started back to Bridgeport, Conn., bearing the crown of the world’s light heavyweight champion.' 4

For one of the few times that a world’s championship has changed hands on the decision of a referee and two judges in New York, there were no experts or no losing bettors at the train shed to hurl razzberries at anew champion. Delaney so far outfought, outboxed and outsmarted Paul Berlenbach in a fifteen-round bout Friday night in the Brooklyn ball park that thousands of the 45,000 spectators who had paid a half million dollars to see the "battle of the ages” left their seats at the end of the tenth round to beat the rush for the limited transportation facilities resulting from the strike. The score in baseball language was Delaney 10, Berlenbach 2, with three rounds even. Delaney by the widest, margins won.*thff first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth rounds. Berlenbach had a slight edge In the eighth and tenth rounds. The third, sixth and ninth rounds were called even simply because a champion—even a falling champion, should be entitled little consideration. The decision of the rereree and the two judges was unanimous that -Delaney had won by a mile, and there was no dispute. Even Berlenbach, good sportsman that he always has been, gavo his victorious rival a warm handshake after the final bell and said: "Jack, you took it. Good luck!” Delapey, with the cheers of the multitude roaring in his ears smiled a real movie smile and replied: “It’s all in the game, Paul. This must have been my night.” Never a Doubt From the tap of the first gong, that brought those thousands of spectators td the rim of their chairs, until the final rap oft the bell which sent two weary fighters to their corners, there never was a doubt as to the outcome. Delaney hit Berlenbach on the jaw with left hooks, right hooks dnd left and right uppercuts. In the fifth, a left hook dropped Berlenbach to his knees, but he was on his ,feet and tearing back In on the attack before the count was started. Berlenbach’s right eye was damaged and his chin slit and ribs were cut and bruised and his body was punched*red from the hard short jabs that Berlenbach landed at close quarters, but they both kept their feet and were fighting,srather weakly, but desperately, at the final bell. With a weight advantage estimated at from ten to twelve pounds, Berlenbach was an even money choice when he entered the ring and the experts figured that Delaney’s jinx was still with him and that he ■ could not withstand fifteen rounds of body punishment. Delaney’s brains overcame the weight advantage, however. Berlenbach kept watching , and waiting the right hand to the jaw that had knocked him out three years ago and Delaney crossed him by shooting to the body. Blows to Heart In the second round, Delaney started pouring his punches to the body and with two terrible bloflfct under the heart he took most of Berlenbach’s steam out of him. • Johnny Dunde.e, one of the smartj est little fighters that ever lived, was a spectator close to the ringside. “Delaney," Dundee said, “won the fight in the first three rounds with two at the best punches to the heart I ever have seen. Berlenbach was hurt then and he was licked, because he had to guard hl3 bddy and "his jaw." Delaney was in danger only once and that was In the tenth round. When he came to his corner after the nipth round, he looked down at some friends in the press box and said: ‘lt’s about even so <ar Isn’t It?" “Ev.en?” on® of his seconds shouted. “Even hell! You’re winning from here to Jersey,"

President Hickey

The A. A. was organized in 1902 and the same eight cities that held franchises then members now. ' It’s a big week-end at the Tribe park with the rival Louisville team in town. Two thousand or more Colonel rooters will Invade Indianapolis for the Sunday battle.

He wanted to win by a knockout and h® went out in the tenth and started swapping punches with Berlenbach and was taking more than he was giving. “Box, Jack!” “Box, Jack! Step back! Take it easy!” His corner shouted in a panic. Delaney perhaps didn’t hear, but a hard left hook to his head awakened him and he went back to his beautiful boxing. Pete Rielty, Delaney’s manager, said after the fight that Delaney had fractured the thumt> of his left hand in the second round, and that he wouldn’t be able to box again for months. “Now that he’s the champion,” Dundee remarked as a business man, “whaff’s he going to do with it The commission says he has to fight Mike McTigue and that fight won’t be worth a dime. There are no other drawing cards In the light heavyweights, and If he fights Gene Tujiney, Harry Wills or Dempsey, ~he will have to be 175 pounds. The Dutchman Is an ex-champion, but he will be in the bigger dough.”
