Playing the Field With Billy Evans

Mr— —| ARY K. BROWNE can regain her amateur standing as a golfer if she is a very good girl for the next three years. In brief, that is the latest ultimatum of

the United States Golf Association. It is very possible that the bars may be raised on Miss Browne prior to that time, if she behaves. A perusal of the ruling reveals the committee h a ndltng the case carefully has avoided refejence

IP %

Evans to the word ‘‘‘professional.” The text of the decision was that Miss Browne was ineligible to compete in tourneys under the jurisdiction of the U. S. G. A. Had Miss Browne been declared an out-and-out pro, she would have been erased from the golf picture for at least three years. The wording of the Browne decision leaves an opening for any earlier reinstatement, provided she makes the committee realize she is sincere in wishing to regain her amateur standing. Since the Western Golf Association has not put the bars up on Miss Browne a<s an amateur, she will still have tnaihv opportunities to play in major golf tournaments. Two Similar Cases EN some ways the cases of Francis Oufhiet and George Von Elm are somewhat similar to the action taken in Mary K. Browne’s pro charges. It will be recalled these two amateur stars temporarily were placed under the ban of the United States Golf Association, because of their connection with certain sporting goods houses. The golf association held that Ouimet and Von Elm were capitalizing their amateur golf prestige _gs a medium for putting over the sale of golf supplies. In each case, the decision was decidedly unpopular as both Ouimet and Von Elm have a big following in the golfing game and are players of the highest type. On withdrawing from the sporting goods houses and making a second application for reinstatement, both Ouimet and Von Elm were restored to good standing. Since professional tennis lias no great hold on the public, it is probable that Miss Browne has ended her activities along these lines. The belief exists she shortly will be reinstated.

AROUND THE A. A. —By Eddie Ash

Eddie Hunter, farmed by the Indians to Waterbury, has been getting bis share of hits daily arid performing like a vet in the field. The kid is playing third. Hunter is being used in No. 5 position in the batting order, which indicates his manager evidently thinks well of his swat power. Jim Swctonic, older brother of Steve Swctonic of (he Tribe, is trying to land an infield berth with Columbus. He recently was reinstated by 0. B. The Senators have sent Outfielder Kirkham to Evansville and the Hens have sold Pitcher Frey to Nashville. Frank (Pixie) Davis, veteran pitcher of the Blues, who underwent an operation for appendicitis in this city April 21. is well on the road to recovery. He is at the Methodist Hospital. K. C. cut Outfielder Johnson, a youngster, off the roster the other day and sent him to Okmulgee in the \Vestem Association. Old Tony Faeth, with the 1926 Indians. is on the hurling staff of the Lincoln. Western League club. Pincoin is huddling in the league cellar. Virgil Voylcs. who pitched for the Indians and in the International League a few years ago, has joined the Indianapolis Merits of the K. I. O. League. No games were played in the American Association Wednesday. It was an open date in the schedule as the eight teams journeyed to the western half of the loop. Umpire George Magerkurth. released from the A. A. for assaulting First Baseman Griffin of Milwaukee, may find a fertile field for fisticuffs in

Harvard, Princeton Patch-Up?

Hcifert United press Staff t'orecsoondent MILWAUKEE, April 2S.—Milwaukee American Association players were to have opened their home season today. A huge banquet was staged Wednesday in honor of the players. The team waS lauded for its early season showing. Then Otto Borchert, president of the club, arose in response to a toast. He started to speak, faltered and dropped dead. Borchert was the last speaker on the banquet program Wednesday night. Members of the Milwaukee and Toledo- clubs were guests ofc honor. About 700 fans were in attendance and had sat through several hours of jollification replete with good wishes to Borchert and his players. Borchert had spoken but a few words before his collapse. It was believed at first that he merely had fainted. Medical assistance was j futile. Death was due to cerebral j hemorrhage. Since 192 i, Borchert had been in virtual control of the Milwaukee club. He became president in 1920 when a syndicate purchased the controlling interest. Four years later he secured the major portion of the interests of his associates. Borchert was a native of Milwaukee.

SCRAPPY SEASON OF PLAY More Aggressive Baseball Th>3 Year, Early Games Indicate. By Frank Getly United Press Staff Correspondent NE55’ YORK, April 28.—The current baseball season apparently is to be marked by more aggressiveness than has been customary during the past few years. A return to the fighting spirit of baseball of a generation ago would be welcomed by the fans. Confidentially. ther are sixteen major league owners who, wouldn’t mind seeing a bit of it, now and then. The one thing the baseball mugnates fear is any suggestion of fraternization. They heard enough talk of that during the past winter. Already one ball player has been fined for strolling over to the enemy dug-out to say "Hello” to a former teammate. Connie Mack’s Athletics are accused of being tlie first to start the rough stuff. The Yankees, losing the opening game at Shibe Park, proved poor sports by complaining that the Mackmen were riding high into the bases and roughing the infielders whenever an opportunity could be found. This suggests that Ty Cobb has taught his teammates something besides fly-chasing and batting. A season of fighting would be a popular one. Os course, some of the boys would get hurt, perhaps badly. A barrage of spikes driven forcefully by 180 pounds of onrushing ball player is disconcerting and dangerous to a third baseman. If ho stands his ground and gets his man, he may wake to hear the nurse say soothingly: “Try to swallow a bit. of this.” ' But one of his teammates will be out after the offending base-runner, and the game along the line will take on anew spirit. Bats will be flung at pitchers who try to “dust off” the opposing batters. Players will meet under the grand stand for fisticuffs, instead of betting slips. It will all be very lamentable, but it will be exciting.
