the Field

■With Billy Evans-

I l\lw is ready to do big I |YJyI tilings in Big Ten football I 1 *'l‘l this year, thinks Director of AtHletics George Little. Had a very interesting chat with \affable pilot of Wisconsin’s athletic destinies during my recent stay at

Chicago. Little was traveling in mighty good comj pany, too, for lie introduced me to to the Governor of Wisconsin. ' Little is very strong for his new football coach, Glenn Thistlethwaite, who met with such great success at Northwestern. Little regards the material at Wisconson better than average and is

Evans

sure Thistlethwaite will get ihe most out of it. Handling all of Wisconsin’s sport activities proved such a big job that Little had to give up his football coaching duties. Bush Shifts Infield 0 SEE where Donie Bush has shifted his infield in order to get more hitting strength into his line-up. Joe Harris, former American Leaguer, is being used at first and Grantham, who has been playing first base, has been moved over to second, supplanting Rhyne and Cronin, both of whom had a whirl at the keystone Sack. If there is one thing that Joe Harris can do it is hit. His superbatting in the 1925 world series between Pittsburgh and Washington kept the latter team in the running, Harris being with the Senators at the time. When Washington asked for waivers on Harris. Owner Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh club apparently had vivid recollections of the way he had treated the Pirate pitchers and took him over. Grantham began his big league career as a second sacker with the Chicago Cubs. An inclination to be erratic caused him to be shifted to first. While the shift may not speed up the Pirates afield, it is sure to materially help the club’s offense. SILENCES EMPIRE "[ETTING back to Joe Harris and first base reminds me of a wise crack that he once pulled at the expense of Umpire Hick Nallin of the American League. Joe, to use the slang of the ball field, ‘‘puts down plenty of feet”; in other words, wears a No. 10 or better, in Joe’s case, better. While playing first for Washington. Umpire Nallin called a visiting player safe on a very ciose decisijn. Harris thought the runner was out and asked for information. ‘‘Why wasn't he out?” said Joe. “Because you didn’t have your foot on the bag,” replied Nallin. “Any other alibi but tliat one would pass,” answered Harris, ‘‘because any time I am in this infield, some part of my foot is always on that bag.” But Nallin stuck to his story and the man was safe. Americm League pitchers feared Joe Harris as much as any man in ihe league. How he can murder a curve ball!

Major League Comment

Charley Grimm, first baseman of the Chicago Cubs, hit safely in the twenty-second inning to score Hack Wilson and the Cubs defeated the Boston Braves, 4 to 3. It was the second long-time game in a week for the Cubs and Braves. Saturday they went eighteen innings. Young Bob Smith, Boston pitcher, earned a hero license as he pitched the full route and allowed the Cubs but 20 hits in the trying twenty-two-in-ning affair. Three Cub pitchers were used, Blake, Brillheart and Bob Osborn. Babe Ruth slashed out his ninth home run of the season as the Yankees defeated Detroit, 0 to 2. Herb Pennock did the pitching for New York and ran up his string of consecutive victories to five. Jo^. Brown, young pitcher, made his *ua.ior league debut for the Chicago White Sox and allowed the first three men to reach base through two doubles and a walk. He was jerked, but the Sox were beaten any way, 6-3, by the Boston Red Sox. Ehmke, Rommel and Gray could not stem the tide of hits from the Browns’ bats and St. Louis defeated the Athletics 11-4. O’Neill got a borne run with the bases loaded. While Lisenbee held Cleveland to four hits and no runs the Senators hit four pitchers for sixteen hits and Won, 12-0. Hill and Morrison pitched nearperfect baseball—allowing Brooklyn only three hits—but the Dodgers Won from Pittsburgh, 2-1. Vance kept the eight hits he allowed scattered. Partridge, Brooklyn, hit a homer.

Philadelphia defeated the Cardinals, 4-3, after Alexander had weakened In what appeared to be a pitching duel between the veteran "Old Pete” and Jack Scott. . Cincinnati underwent its sixth consecutive defeat when the Giants won, 2-0. Mobile has sent Elmer Tutweller, pitcher, to the Pensacola Clu£ of the South western League. y

BOSTON UPHOLDS TRADITION ’ * 22-Inning Game Recalls Record Braves-Robins Tilt in 1920. Bp Vnttrd Pres* BOSTON, May 18.—Whenever a baseball game goes so far into extra innings that it appears only nightfall will bring an end to it, a Boston team probably will be one of the contestants. The tradition was upheld Tuesday when flip Boston Braves and Chicago Cubs battled twenty-two innings before the visitors finally carried off a 4 to 3 victory. Bob Smith, converted infieldcr, pitched the. entire game for the home team, with Blake, Brillheart and Osborn opposing him. The Braves made fifteen hits, while the Cuh s made twenty. Smith held his opponents runless for sixteen innings, the final score coming on a balk, a sacrifice fly and Grimm’s smashing single. Had the encounter lasted four more innings it would have tied the major league record. On May 1, 1920, at Braves field, Boston and the Brooklyn Robins played twenty-six innings to a 1-1 tie. Joe Ocschger was the Boston pitcher and Leon Cadore hurled for Brooklyn. Oeschger dta not allow a run for twentyone innings. The American League record is held by the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Athletics, who played a twenty-four-inning game in 1906, Philadelphia winning, 4 to 1. Jack Coombs won over Joe Harris. HaVris held the Athletics runless after the third inning until he blew up in the twenty-fourth. He allowed sixteen bits and Coombs fifteen. SHORT RIDGE BEATS IRISH Shortridge High School tennis team scored an easy 6-to-0 victory over Cathedral courtmen at the Hawthorne courts Tuesday afternoon. The Blue and White netters have not fieen defeated this year. They tied with Tech last week.

Toledo then will be visited by the Betzelites before the western clubs start their second invasion of the season at Washington Park. No Weather, No Crowds The Indians were outlucked on the recent road trip financially and on weather, and under the circumstances their record of eight-and-five is something to be proud of. The only series lost was at Louisville, the Tribe capturing one of four struggles. The finale in Derbytown Tuesday was captured by the Colonels, 5 to 2, with the wise old Tincup doing the flinging for the' Kentucky outfit. And Tincup nearly scored a shutout, the Hoosier runs not coming until the ninth inning. Schupp and Schemanske pitched for the Indians. More Hits, Runs The Tribesmen collected more bits than Bill Meyer’s nine, but opportune batting did not start until too late. Postponements were frequent during the Tribe’s long /journey that closed Tuesday. The team won the two played in Minneapolis, annexed two of three at St. Paifl, captured the single fracas staged in Kansas City, grabbed two of three at Milwaukee and one of four in Louisville.
