Playing the Field With Billy Evans rrrri ANY a quip is passed between [M players and umpires on the ball field that lacks venom, merely playful banter. Bill Barret of the Chicago White Sox gives me many a good

laugh during the course of the season with his wise cracks, for he has a keen sense of humor. At the start of each season, Barrett's first greeting to me is: “Well. how many more years are you going to umpire?” This year proved to be no exception to the rule and, when I made my first appearance at Comiskey Park, in Chicago. Bar-

Evans

rett didn't fail me. “Three more after this one will be enough,” I answered. “If you’re in earnest, I will give you a list of several other umpires to take along with you,” was his reply as he walked away. "Do you think you will be here that long yourself?” I countered, but if Barrett heard it he paid no attention. ONE ON THE MANAGER i_ ■ "> EKE is one they tell me about |I_J V an Grafian, the new Amer1* * can League umpire, who lam told believes there is a different motion for every decision. In a game this spring against a certain club having anew manager, making his major league debut, Van Grafian called a balk on one of the pitchers. The manager hastened from his position in the coacher’s box at third to take issue with the ruling of the new arbitrator. ' “Young man, I can see you have plenty to learn about umpiring,” was the manager’s greeting. “That makes us both even,” replied Van Grafian, “it is apparent you have much to learn about managing.” The conversation at this point became so torrid that the censors of the best family newspapers wouldn’t pass it. MUST FLAY LIKE CLUB f*y \ MOTHER one. dealing w ith I A Bill Barrett and John Grabow-|-f*l ski, former Comiskeyite, now catching such good ball for New York. Grabowski, after pulling several good plays in the field In a recent series between the Yankees and Sox, and driving in a couple of runs, got a big hand from the Chicago crowd. It so happened that Bill Barrett was the first batter in the inning that followed Grabowski’s good work. Now Barrett and Grabowski are the very best of friends and it was all in good nature when Barrett said: “Why didn’t you catch and hit that way when you were with Chicago? - “Well, It's like this,” replied Graftowski, “I’m with a good ball club now and I have* to play that way if I want to stick in the line-up.” Barrett is now trying to figure just what Grabowski thinks of the White Sox of today—or was he referring to last year?

Gehrig Hustling for Yanks Bv WE A Service |EW YORK. May 16. Lou Gehrig, Miller Hug- ___ gins’ young first sacker, is proving one of the most valuable players on the Yanks’ pay roll this season. Gehrig’s booming bat and his play around first base have been big features of the early games played by the Gotham outfit this season. A hustler always, -the Columbia youngster is a threat on every bail pitched to him or hit at him. He runs ’em all out, whether they go to pitcher or fence, and he tries to get everything that is hit his way in the field.

Whiskery Not Yet Cham- * pion of Colts—Faces Hard Competition. By Clark B. Kelsey United Press Staff Corrcsvondenr LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 16.—With the Preakness and Kentucky Derby out of the .way, the long summer battle for the three-year-old turf championship of 1927 was on today. Out of the flying dirt clods and pounding of hoofs in the Derby run here Saturday, Harry Payne Whitney's Whiskery emerged as the outstanding thoroughbred of America. He proved the greatness of the Broomstick strain, to which he traces his ancestry, and established himself as possessing the essential qualities of speed, gameness and staying ability. But Whiskery Is not yet the undisputed champion. By the time the rich Belmont Stakes is run, and the other big stakes to be contested in New York and Maryland before fall, Whiskery must fight and fight hard to withstand the challenge of perhaps half a dozen good three-year-olds that this season has developed. He has yet to meet the Rancocas Stable’s Sweepster and the Seagram Stable's Sir Harry, neither of whom contested in the Derby J. E. Widener’s Osmand was beaten only a head In the Derby and apparently is still capable of giving the Whitney speedster a tough battle. Had legitimate Alibi J. W. Parrish’s Rolled Stocking ran a terrible Derby, but he of all the starters had a legitimate alibi. He was badly cut when Budijy Bauer jumped on him at the start and when he Is back in shape may justify the confidence of those who backed his odds down to less than 5, to 1 in the Derby. J. N. Camden’s Hydromel, too, which ran a splendid race to be fourth, had been out of condition lately and the Belmont may tell a different story. The way of a Derby winner is hard. A horse brought to the top of form so early in the season to win a race that always is a severe struggle has too much taken out of him to stay fit all summer, as a rule. Colts such as Zev are notable exceptions, and they have been few. Whiskery has had an exceptionally hard campaign. He won the Chesapeake Stakes at Havre dc Grace, ran third in the Preakness at Pimlico and then won the Derby, all within about two weeks. If Jimmy Rowe and Fred Hopkins can keep him in shape all summer to trample down the kind of competition he must meet, Whiskery will be one of the greatest horses of all times. There is nothing to detract from the glory that the Whisk Broom IIPrudery colt won at the Downs Sat urday. His spectacular race and glorious stretch finish brought him immortal glory and made the 1927 Derby one that will long be remembered. It was a truly run race and Whiskery proved himself a better rater than Osmand. The latter, with Sande up. ran to his utmost ability and failed by,a head. Both showed a remarkable performance in finishing so strongly after the hot early pace set by E. B. McLean’s Jock, especially Osmand. which chased Jock while Linus McAtee held Whiskery back. Jock Goes Great Jock, incidentally, did himself proud by staying in at the finish, and probably will be a great horse this year at shorter distances than a mile and a quarter. The only real flops of the race were W. M. Jefford's Sea pa Flow and the Sage stable’s Rip Rap. The Man O' War colt now looks almost hopeless as anything but a sprinter. It may be that Rip Rap needs races and will do better by fall. Most of the others ran good races. The Derby was witnessed by the greatest crowd in its history, estimated at from 75,000 to 100,000. The crowd bet nearly $2,000,000 in the mutuels on all races, but. contrary to all expectations, the “take.” on the Derby was less than last year. It had been expected to total nearly a million dollars, but actually was $676,483.
