Playing the Field

■With Billy Evans -

| Y~. WEAKNESS at shortstop is a I Shu' ln s fault in the lineup of L—any ball club that aspires to a major league pennant. The'Washington club at present ippears doubtful as to who will

eventually play the position. That was a perplexing probilem most of last season. In the early stages of last year’s race, Peckinpaugh and Myer alternated at shortstop with the result neither one got going satisfactorily. Many games were lost because the infield had h t some

Evans

,f the machine like perfection that i ',i .iwavs characterized the play of ~.,0 at third. Peck at short. Harris at second and Judge at first. ’ 'hose early season defeats proved i handicap that kept the Nationals n the background much of the summer. However, in the month f f the 1926 campaign, the \\ ashing.on club was the smoothest workng nrganizatio i ii the American league. “Buddy” Myer, who came to Washington so highly touted as a shortstop, seemed to have struck his stride in the field and was g< • ing great at the ba*. HAS STIFF STYLE\ 2=nHE late season splurge made 'I ’ [ by Myer convinced Manager | Harris that he had earned he l ight to play shortstop regularly, is a result, Washington traded the . iciont Pecklnpaugh to Chicago, bei ving he was no longer of any ~•( at use to the club| Myer having .rrlved. (>C all players, a shortstop must be ,tle. Since bis major league de- , it there has always been a certain tiffness to the play of Myer. As c would bend over for a ball, the .ion seemed labored. Late last fall, this one flaw in his fifty appeared to have been eliminate and. However, It is back again this pting and probably is due to some huscular condition. Whatever the reason, it caused Manager Harris to shift Third Baseman Bluege to short and Myer to bird for the exhibition games. In iis minor league days, Bluege was a 'hortstop. When Peck was injured jn the 1924 world series with the Slants. Bluege performed most satefactorily in his place. The shift experiment hasn’t Worked out very well. Asa matter of fact, the trouncing given Washington by the New York Giants in the spring series between the two clubs, was the result of an uncertain infield. To make matters worse, Manager Harris has not been able to play because of a broken finger. SERIOIS HANDICAP NLESS the shortstop problem is soon properly solved, the Washington club is going to fork under a terrific handicap. Jhe lituation and condition of last ycai nay be repeated. It is just possible that Peckinlaugh would be a right handy man o have about, now that Myer has suffered a return of his back rouble. Peck’s dogs are ailing and he san’t cover the ground he once did, ,ut he still is quite a shortstop. His ludgment of where the players hit s uncanny, thereby giving him a itart on the ball and his execution Uways has been remarkable. Watching him perform in several ixhibition games in the south, he turprlsed me by his agility to step iround so quickly for so early in Ihe season. When Washington secured Pecltinpaugh, his coming rounded out one of baseball’s greatest infields. His passing seems to have broken It up.

K. C. BLUES INVADE TRIBE PARK FOR THREE-GAME SERIES

Dutch Zwilling, Former Indian, in Charge of Kawtown Pastimers. ERRORS AID MILLERS Locals ‘Blow’ Behind Dixie Leverett’s Good Pitching. By Eddie Asii ** The Indians had some new opponents today in the persons of the Kansas City Blues, kaw, kaw! Edward Dutch Spread Eagle Zwilling, former Tribe ily chaspr, is the boss of the invaders, but friendship ceases on the diamond and he hopes to profit in percentage while here for three days. Ferd Scliupp, the Tribe’s lone southpaw flinger, was slated to do the local mound work this afternoon. ; The Bines won four games and lost one in their first two series and are in third place. The Indians, in seventh position, have won one and dropped five. In the wind-up struggle with the Minneapolis outfit Tuesday the Mfilers were able to win, 11 to 10, and make a sweep of the series when the locals floundered in the lield. No Support for Dixie Dixie Lcverett, Tribe starting i hurler, uncorked some line pitching and he looked like a certain victor in tho early innings until errors behind him upset calculations. In seven sessions of toil he allowed only five hits and two earned runs, but the Millers got four markers by the miscue route during that time. For instance, in the sixth stanza, the Tribe “contributed" four errors and Minneapolis was enabled to score three runs on one hit. The damage was started "by Yoter, who “blew" a set-tip • double-play and what followed was excruciating. Florence committed two errors on one play when he fumbled a bunt and then threw wild to first. It was necessary for Lcverett to fan two men to get the side out. Rally Fails Short Despite the manner in which the defense cracked, the Indians encouraged the fans to some extent by battling until the last and Minneapolis was forced to use two relief hurlers to check a Tribe rally in the ninth that produced four runs. When action ended. Tribe runners were on second and third and a base, hit would have won the ball game. But Russell struck out before tho left-handed slants of Moon. The Indians collected fourteen hits to ten for Minneapolis. Leveret t was taken out for a pinch hitter in the seventh and Wisner did a poor job of relief hurling. He was wild and was solved for five hits and five runs in the last two rounds. Twenty-nine players got In the wild contest, the Indians using sixteen men and the Millers thirteen. The Indians got quantity production from their left fielders Tuesday. Brickell started and got one hit and a sacrifice fly that drove in a run, and he scored one marker himself. ■When Minneapolis changed to southpaw pitching Wyatt relieved Brickell and obtained three hits in three efforts and scored twice. Bob Snyder gave the saddened rooters a thrill in the eighth when he batted for Florence and drove a home run over the low left center field fence with Wyatt on ahead. It was a terrific clout. Larry Kopf emerged from a hatting slump with a single and double. I It was Florence's first game behind the bat, and he was rusty, three errors going against him. He got two hits in three attempts. Jim Walsh made his first appearance when he batted for Matthews ;in the ninth. He got a “life" and Yoter was safe at second when [ Pitcher Wilson snared Walsh’s I grounder and threw.wide to second. Each of the Tribe’s five errors flgJ ured in the Minneapolis scoring. The fact the Indians amassed fourteen hits, five for extra bases, served to give the fans some encouragement. It's unusual for an Indi anapolis team to show that much batting power. Holke, Betzel and Kopf poled doubles, Matthews a triple and Snyder a homer. Kansas City overcame a sevenrun lead to tie the score,in the ninth inning at Toledo Tuesday, and then defeated the Hens in the eleventh, 9 to 8. The Milwaukee Brewers secured a I six run lead in the first inning and ; were never overtaken in the final game of the series at Columbus. The . score was 12 to 6. An eighth-inning rally fell short and Louisville lost its fifth straight game. St. Taul winning Tuesday, 6 to 4. I. U. DEFEATS DE PAUW Crimson Batsmen Fall on Tiger Twirier—Pound Bali Hard.

‘The Jigger Shot’

Editor’s Note—This is tlie concluding ar_ tide of a series of eleven lessons written for The Indianapolis Times by local golf professionals. The series was conducted under the auspices of Brassie Birdies, Times golf column.

By Fosdick Goodrich SHE jigger is a favorite club to all golf players who have taken a skilled liking to the game. It is sometimes referred to as tho emergency club. The blade of the jigger is narrower than that of a mashio or spade and tho action gained when the blade meets the ball is to send the ball toward the flag at a greater speed. The jigger is used to come out of the rough, when the lie makes a midiron or brassie shot impossible and also for runup shot to a green that is not trapped in front. It is for other shots too numerous to mention as well as those generally encountered and not expected. The overlapping grip, with the

DEMAR WINS 40-Year-Old Runner Takes Boston Marathon. Bu United Trot* BOSTON, April 20.—A few years from now, when Clarence Demar begins to slow up. the youngsters may have a chance to win the Boston A. A.'s annual marathon, but for tho present the 40-year-old Melrose sprinter and numerous aged runners who have been competing witli him off and on for ten years or so seem to have a pretty good grip on the distance prizes. Demar won the 26-mile and 385yard race Tuesday over 194 rivals, and of the first seven to finish four others were over 37. Bill Kennedy, 48, came in third. Johnny Miles, Canadian youth who put one over on the old men of the tribe to win the contest last year, dropped out at the ten-mile mark, a victim of humidity and gasoline fumes which forced dozens of the entrants out. Demar and his cronies couldn't be bothered by trifling handicaps like that, and the winner even bad enough stuff left to sprint at tho end. He has won the Boston contest five times.

fingers of the left hand grasping the club, knuckles pointing upward and with the right over the club in such a way that the little finger is on top the forefinger of the left hand, is a popular and effective grip. Always keep the right hand fairly on top the shaft. The open stance, feet rather close together and the arms well into the body, is proper on the jigger shot, as the club shaft is shorter and the swing must be more upright. Start the club head back with the left hand. Keep the left arm fairly straight. Allow the left knee to bend in toward the ball in unison with travel of the club.
