Playing the Field * With Billy Evans

i——| ABE RUTH says he believes I D j, he increased, hitting during j * / ; the past ten years is as much ctu_ ” j the many new balls that are. use i as to the so-called “rabbit” or live., tall. “Having pitched for many years

hefore turning outfielder, I know how much more difficult it is to be forced io pitch new balls than an old discolored pill.” says Ruth. I am inclined to agree to a large extent with the premier slugger. In the old days, say twenty years

Evans

back, the umpires started all games with four new balls. During the rest of the contest they acecpted any ball tossed from the home bench that was regarded as satisfactory. Now, we start each ball game with forty-eight brand new balls and should we run out of our regular supply, accept none but new ones. That will give you an idea of what Ruth means when he says the constant use of new ballg has ■ increased batting more than anything else. _ i—-i IGURES do not lib, they say. I IT MfThat may or may not hold L±>Jgood for baseball. However, it is certain that the success of Pitcher Wiley Moore of the New York Yankees is going to cause the magnates to take an increased interest in figures, pitching averages in particular. Moore 'was bought by the Yankees on the strength of having won thirty games in a minor league. This, despite the fact that he was 30 years of age and had been labeled not a goftd prospect by the big league scouts. All the major league clubs obtain a set of special averages on the minors that are constantly kept up to date. These are for the information of the owner, the Ynanager and the scouts as to likely material. In the future it segms pretty certain that this special data will be carefully perused by the various club officials. IANAGER DAN HOWLEY of the St. Louis Browns is sure Owen Carroll will develop into a winner for Detroit. Carroll, it will be recalled, Is the former college star. While at Holy Cross he won 48 out of the 50 games he pitched. Jumping direct to the majors from college circles as a member of the Detroit Tigers he finished the season of 1925 with varying success. He was sent to the Toronto club of the International League undec„option, for more seasoning. Last season at Toronto, Carroll had Steve O’Neill, former American League backstop, who is back again with St. Louis, as his roommate. Under the direction of O'Neill Carroll came fast and soon was one of the most effective pitchers in the league. He won twentyone w’hile losing only eight games and ranked second among the winning pitchers. Momentary lapses of wildness seem to be Carrolls only fault. He t has poise, ability and courage, three most important pitching assets. He needs only control to be a star. Manager Howley is hopeful that Ernie Nevers, former Stanford star, will develop as fast under O’Neill’s tutelage as did Carroll. Nevers already has done some good work for the Browns.

Tribal Notes

Game No. 3 of the Miller series was on this afternoon. Manager Betzel was everywhere in the field Tuesday and had nine assists and two putouts.. He tossed out three Millers in the ninth for the game-ending outs. Matty had a great day with a double, two singles, sacrifice and stolen base. "Shady” Layne plunked the horsehide for a single and homer. Runs driven in by: Layne, 2; Matthews, 2; Holke, 1; Russell, 1; Sicking, 1; Duncan, 2; Malone, 2; Krueger, 1. Ernie Krueger, former Hoosler backstop, now on the Miller payroll, lifted one of Burwell’s offerings over the low left field fence for a homer in the second inning. He also poled a single. Ejpmer, Minneapolis shortstop, was chased by Umpire Powell in the fourth for crying over a decision. Bill Kelley, Miller first sacker, had only four putouts. Tucker, outfielder from Washington, who joined the Millers Tuesday, banged out two singles and a double. Bill Hinchman, Pittsburgh, and Bill Friel, St. Louis Browns, major league scouts, viewed the Tuesday contest. They used to be in the A. A. as players. Friel managed St. Paul in T3 and ’l4. He is business manager of the Browns as well as Ivory hunter.

Rooters Perk Up as Indians Annex Second Struggle From Millers

Herman Layne Hits Homer to Put Tribesmen on Long End. HE’S NEW OUTFIELDER t Burwell and Malone Pitph— Third Fray Today. BY EDDIE ASH Tribe fans had numerous topics to wag their tongues over today. The home team is even with the board again in games won and lost, and in fourth place in the A. A. standing. Outfielder Herman Layne has made Washington Park hearts glad by beating the Millers twice with his timely bat, the club as a whole is hitting better and the Indian pastimers are going good in the field. At least that Is the manner in which the Betzelites performed Monday and Tuesday. What happened today is another story, to be reviewed Thursday. Homer Ruins Millers Keeling over the slugging secondplace Millers two in a row is a rare achievement, and Herman Layne again leaped into the spotlight Tuesday by socking a home run with Sicking on ahead in the seventh inning—and that blow ruined the visitors. The score was 7 to 5. In Monday’s pastiming. which went ten innings, it was the same Shady” Layne who drove in the winning run. Bill Burwell was on the local mound Tuesday,' and though hit hard in the early innings, he got better as the contest progressed and outpitched Pat Malone, despite the fact the Miller flinger struck out eight Indians. Burwell had the better support, however, and had better control. Bill did not issue a pass, while Pat walked five. Ezzell to McAulcy—Three Out A triple play by the Miller infield rescued Malone out of one hole. In the fifth stanza, with Layne on second and Russell on first wdth none out, Florence attempted a sacrifice hit-and-run and put too much wood Into his swing. The result was a low liner to Ezzell at third, who snared the sphere with one hand and pegged to McAuley, who covered second. McAuley touched second for a double play on Layne, who had sprinted for third, and then. McAulcy let Russell run into the ball for the third out. The fans don’t see many triple plays, and they gave the Millers a hand despite the fact the Indians were stung by the three-ply killing. -

I believe most golfers would get along a lot better if they stopped fooling around with fancy grips, changing off and on with the seasons. I advise a man to use the grip which is most natural to him instead of trying to get an interlocking or a Vardon grip. _ Some like the two-handed grip with all the fingers on the shaft. It is a natural grip most players take without professional instruction. As for my personal likes. I grip the club* with my left hand as in this picture. I like to get out on the end of the shaft for a drive and closer in for the approach shots.

Umpire Bruised Umpire Robinson of the MidAtlantic League was the storm center in one of the games in a recent Jeanette - Cumberland series at Jeanette. The Cumberland players took exception to a decision made by Robinson at the plate and several of them swarmed around him. Something resembling a flying wedge soon was - formed and the ump found himself being shoved >down the third-base line. In the mix-up several punches were taken at Robinson. Police held back fans who tried to swarm on the field and peace finally was restored. Shortstop Cortazzo of Cumberland came out-of the excitement with a damaged head. Robinson escaped, but with several brqjses and scratches.

Seven Races, Horse Show on Saturday Harness Matinee at Fairground Promises Fine Entertainment for Fans. “We'll have a better matinee Saturday than we planned for last week,” said Manager C. C. Sanders, today in talking of the trotting and pacing events planned for the State fair track Saturday. “AVe have seven races scheduled, and the horse show just as it was for the postponed occasion, and insofar as the drivers are concerned they will give us more speed than they could have done last week. This is caused by the excellent training weather which has prevailed through the present week.” Sep Palin has canceled his shipping engagements to Ohio, and will take part in the matinee just as he planned originally. Paljn is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Indiana Trotting and Pacing Association, which means that he doesn’t overlook any chances to help out. Same program, more pep, more speed, more show—that’s the promise and outlook for Saturday.

Clancy Close to Tris Speaker’s Record

II ii United Pretr NEW YORK. June B.—John Clancy, first baseman for the Chicago White Sox, came close to the world’s record for consecutive base hits Tuesday. When Clancy hit a home run In the seventh inning of the game at Yankee Stadium he had batted safely on eight successive times at bat. His hitting streak was broken in the ninth, however, so that he failed by three safeties to duplicate Tris Speaker’s record of eleven hits in succession.

GOOD BATTERY WORK ONE REASON FOR SOX SUCCESS Manager Schalk Says Ward and Metzler on Infield and in Outfield, Also Are Factors.

BY HENRY L. FARRELL, United Preei Stiff Corrcsoondent NEW YORK, June B.—“ There is no particular system on our ball club,” Ray Schalk. manager of the Chicago White Sox, said when asked how he made the sensation of the current season out of a club that looked like a second-division squad before the league opened. “I said before the season started.” he continued, “that there were two doubtful positions on the club, in centerfleld and on second base and that success would depend upon our ability to correct those two weaknesses.

The reproduction shows William T. Tilden 11, at the left, shaking hands with Rene La Coste, French tennis ace. La Caste defeated Tilden in the finals of the international hard court tennis tournament in France, last Sunday. Tilden, America's hope for Davis Cup honors# battled gamely for five sets but sjddenly weakened, allowing the flashy La Coste to take the victory.

While a member of the Cleveland Indians in 1920, Speaker made eleven hits in eleven official times at bat. In the first game of a dou-ble-header with Washington, July 8, Tris singled twice. He made five singles, two of them bunts, in the second game. The next day Speaker made three singles off Zachary and sacrificed once. He opened the third day with a two-bagger on his first appearance at the plate, and there the record breaking performance ended. Clancy made five singles in five

but I figured Ward would deliver. I do not think there was any luck involved in getting Ward, but we did have a good break in getting Metzler to take the place of Johnny Mostil in centerfleld. He was recommended to us when the Athletics were forced to release him, but we didn't expect him to deliver as well as he has done.” Metzler, Ward, McCurdy and three star pitchers, Lyons, Thomas and Blankenship apparently have made \ the White Sox a club that is-now*!fighting the New York Yankees for first place and one that likely will be a. contender all the way. The club has some other good pitchers, headed by the veteran Red Faber, who will not be worked much until the real hot weather comes, but Schalk ’ thinks three such pitchers as Lyons, Thomas and Blankenship are enough to keep any club in the race. They are young and strong and can stand a lot of work. Young Catcher Delivers McCurdy is one of the most improved ball players of the year and his form behind the bat has been made the subject for a lot of talk about the luck of his club. The White Sox w r ere disappointed in the failure of the veteran Roger Peckinpaugh to come through after he was obtained from Washington. Schalk saw something had to be done about it. He didn't-' hesitate to bench the veteran and put Hunnefield in his place and the infield problem was solved. He also made a gamble in taking Sheeley off first base and using young Cftncy, and it worked.

Dixie Fans Fight Over Teams

Rivalry between the fans of Birmingham and Atlanta caused a riotous scent during the game of May 26 between the two clubs at Birmingham.

One Birmingham fan was struck on the head with a pop bottle and w'as taken to a hospital. Secretary West of the Birmingham club, entered the fight backed by a cordon of police, who escorted a dozen of the battlers from the park. When the men had been taken out, an Atlanta woman whose name could not be ascertained in the confusion. started the fight anew by landing a stiff right to the jaw of a male Birmingham fan. She was taken in charge by police.
