Playing the Field •———With Billy Evans

EHE duel between Rogers Hornsby and Frank Frisch as to which is the more valuable player goes merrily on. Hornsby continues to show the Way at the bat, while Frisch enjoys

a commanding lead as a baserunner. In the field there has been but little to choose between the two, both playing brilliantly. The last time I glanced at the averages each star had played forty games. During that time Frisch had stolen thirteen bases to one

lor Hornsby. Such figures would make it appear as if Frisch was much the faster man, yet in reality such is far from being the case. Asa matter of fact, Hornsby recently challenged Frisch to meet him in a 100-yard dash to determine the dispute definitely. If the two ever meet in such a race it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Hornsby was returned the victor. He has great speed and a long stride, best fitted for the straight-away running. MORE THAN SPEED w— -1 HEER speed alone doesn’t Q make a great baserunner. Speed is merely one of the lactors. I could name perhaps a dozen ball players, who I am sure could step 100 yards in close to 10 seconds, yet who are far from being good baserunners. Speed is a great help in getting to first. Likewise, it is a decided advantage in trying to go the limit on an extra base hit. Still, speed doesn’t necessarily mean that the player possessing it is above the ordinary as a baserunner. ' The ability to take a commanding lead, then get the break with the pitcher, ending the attempt with a deceptive slide, are three other things aside from speed that a clever baserunner must have. In truth, some of the best baserunners in the history of baseball have been players with only average speed but highly developed in the other attributes. VIEWS OF MORIARTY mHERE is George Moriarty, now manager of the Detroit Tigers, w r ho also has served as a big league player and umpire. While far from a speed merchant, Moriarty in his day as a player was one of the most skilled baserunners I ever have followed around the paths. A good lead at the right spot make a good baserunner more than all the speed in the world, Moriarty says. In stealing home, those two elements enter more strongly than in the theft of second or third. Off on th# wrong foot this spring, the Tigers have been unable to cut up on the bases as Moriarty had hoped they would. Maybe they will later. EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE mT is an interesting fact that Frankie Frisch, one of the game's greatest baserunners, is a poor feet-first slider. Frisch much prefers the more spectacular head-first slide, which is far more dangerous to the runner. Another explanation for the wide difference in the total stolen bases of Frisch and Hornsby is the different positions they occupy in the batting order. Frisch, in second place, is in a position that calls for the steal more often than that of Hornsby, batting in the clean-up position, fourth. While a straightaway dash of 10© yards between Frisch and Hornsby would in no way determine their merits as baserunners it would settle for all time the i which player has the most speed. Let’s have it.

Britons May Carry Away Golf Honors Strong Contingent Has Good Chance at Amateur'Crown. * > Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 11.—With the strongest contingent of British golfers ever to come to this country ready for action in next week's open championship at Oakmont, it is quite possible the cup which has rested securely on these shores for the past six years is due for a sea voyage. Ted Ray, “daddy” of the British Ryder Cup professionals, carried off the open championship of the United States in 1920. He is the only British winner of the title since the world war. Vardon Is Memory When the elongated Jerseyman won the championship of this country, Harry Vardon, another Channel islander, finished in a tie with three Americans for second place. Vardon now is only a memory as far as first class international golfing rivalry is concerned, but Ray carries on. There is another golfer from the Channel islands among the present lot of Britishers—Aubrey Boomer, “uncrowned king olf British golf” in 1926. Jerseymen are by tradition and practice at their best in just such forms of international competition, where the highest type of fighting spirit at concentration is called for. . Havers Is Dangerous George Duncan, the “flying Scotsman,” might turn the trick, if his putter does not play him false. Arthur Havers, who beat Bob Jones in a match for the unofficial championship of the world in 1924, must be watched. American golfers have won British cups with a frequency of late which has proved anything in the extreme to British pride. The old country would confer a knighthood—at least—upon a Britisher who could turn the tables.

Major League Comment

Ted Lyons, White Sox pitcher, curbed the Yankee’s run of victories ! over the Sox, allowing but five hits j and knocking in the winning runs j with his own hit, a timely triple. The score was 4-2.

It was the third Cincinnati victory in the four-game series. The Reds hit Scott heavily, but were unable to score on Decatur who succeeded him.

TWO-MINUTE PROSPECT IN HARNESS EVENT TODAY Riley. Owned by Fred Cline, to Perform at Fairground— Races and Horse Show Features.

A 4-year-old pacer that is a candidate for two-minute honors this year is an attraction of uncommon caliber which will be presented in the matinee today at the State fairground. This performer is Riley (3), 2:01?i, a son of Belwin. that was purchased last fall by Fred Cline of this city, and turned over to Sep Palin, the Indianapolis driver who has made rapid headway in recent years with both gaits. Riley is considered a two-minute prospect because his record mile was made after a season the first part of which looked anything but promising. In the free-for-all pace heer today he will have plenty of competition, because Norman Grattan has been a performer that within the last two years readily could race miles around 2:02 and 2:03, while Lillian K tool* the record for 3-year-old pacing fillies on a half-mile track, when she paced in 2:05 1 i last fall at Louisville. Besides these there is Princess Iroquois, one of the most sensational of the late part of 1926. Trophies will be presented to all winners in the show horse entertainment at the matinee and horse show at the State fair track today. In section 1, for three-gaited horses ridden by boys Strawmeyer Bros, will offer the prize. In Section 2, which is for the same variety of horse, but ridden by girls, ,the trophy will be awarded by. Techentin & Cos. Q. S. Wainwright will give a cup to the best in Section 3, which is an open event for three-gaited horses, and in the five-gainted class for all ages and sexes, the Supreme Oil Company will hand over a cup.

In the Schopp semi-final matches Friday morning, Fillenworth defeated Francis O’Brien of Cathedral, 3' and 2, and Rader defeated Thomas Brady of Cathedral, 1' up. ” Exciting From Start The Wenzel-Wilcov match was a thriller from the start, with the Tech boy a dark horse, owing to the fact he did not compete in vhe 1926 meet. His play became more attractive as he whittled down a lead of three holes, won by Wenzel in the first four contested. The cards for the pair were Par out 4354344 3 5—35 Wenzel out 4 3 5 4 4 5 4 4 5—38 Wilcox out 44653464 4—40 Tar in 5 3 435453 4—36—71 Wenzel in 5 4 5 3 6 6 5 5 5—44—82 Wilcox 111 645 3 3463 4—lo—Bo The first hole was halved and Wenzel won the next three, having played the four in par.

Coming home Wenzel went to 2 up by winning the tenth hole in par 5. Holes 11, 12 and 13 were halved. Wenzel faltered at this point and Wilcox, who was getting stronger, shot par on the next two holes to even the match. Wenzel won hole 16 with par 5, and Wilcox acme back with a par 3 to win hole 17 and even the match again. On Last and Final Green The eighteenth hole was played with the gallery and players at high tension. On the second shot Wenze, hit the shrubbery surrounidng the greenand his ball bounded back. Wilcox was to the rough. Both sent approach shots on the green, about the same distance away.

BY EDDIE ASH I Bowled over again by th Millsrs Friday in the wind-up of the series, 10 to 4, Bruno Betzel's Indians were to face a different opponent today—the St. Paul Saints. Nick Allen brought his crew to town for four days, and as there is a postponement tilt from' an April series to be played off, a doubleheader will be staged at the Tribe park Sunday, first fray at 2 p. m.

Schupp Fails Again Ferd Schupp was knocked off the mound Friday in the fourth inning. Swtonic relieved until he got bombarded in the eighth and Buck Schemanske hurled the ninth. Many fans are of the opinion it is to give Schemanske a chance at starting a game. Schupp's departure for the showers was a high point in the Miller attack. Kenna, first up in the fourth, crashed Ferd’s first offering for a home run to right center and Middleton, next Up, pickled the first ball pitched to the same spot for a trip around the bags. Exit Schupp. Florence clouted one of Middleton’s shoots for a home rto right center in the Tribe fourth. 11 and 13 Hits. The Indians failed to cash in enough runs off eleven hits, which included Florence’s homer and twq doubles by Sicking and one by Layne. The Miller hit total was thirteen, including two circuit drives and four doubles. The fans were given an excellent idea of which way the game was going to wind up when two Miller runs were booted home in the opening stanza. It was the first free day for “kids” this season and is being “ladies’ day” also, thee fans were eager to do some tall shouting, btu the Indians never gained the lead. Jimmy Middleton weakened in the seventh Friday and Leo Moon completed the job of pitching'for the Millers. And Moon and his southnaw slants halted the Tribe attack. Tucker, new Miller outfielder,
