Playing the Field With Billy Evans

mIM JOHNSTONE, former veteran major league umpire, died in Cork, Ireland, whither he went on a vacation to the “old sod” recently. For years Johnstone was- one of the leading umpires of the National

League. Later he was affiliated with the Feheralj League and the' American Association. After giving up umpiring as a business, Johnstone, who always spent the off season as a metal worker, discovered a very light metal, I of great strength,

m ry

Evans

that of late years has almost entirely supplanted wire in the making of a baseball mask. The mask now worn by most catchers and umpires made of heavy bar metal instead of wire is a Johnstone invention. TEMPESTUOUS CAREER i URING his career as a major H league umpire, Johnstone B had more than his share of ■,brills. He first jumped into national prominence back in 1906. because of a controversy with John McGraw. manager of the Giants. Officials of the New York club, ■displeased with Johnstone's umpiring, barred him from the Polo ■Grounds when it was learned he Iwas to work in an important series ■with the Chicago Cubs, then fighting the Giants for the pennant. I As I recall the circumstances, [president Pulliam of the National (League personally escorted JohnBtdhe into the ball park. For a time the bitter dispute that resulted threatened to disrupt the league. President Pulliam at the time said he would have suspended the New York club if the umpire had been refused admission to the park. The Cubs won the championship that year, only to he beaten by the White Sox in the world series. DISPUTE WITH BOSS mOHNSTONE in his day was a great umpire. He ran his ball game with an iron hand and would brook no interference. I (officiated with him in the 1919 world series between Pittsburgh and Detroit. National League umpires still get a laugh as the result of a run-in that Johnstone once had with Tom Lynch, former major league umpire, who at the time was president of the National League. Lynch in his day was commonly referred to as the “King of the Umpires.” The title stuck with him until his death. Lynch had put Johnstone on the carpet over a certain ruling that had resulted in a protested game. The argument waxed warm between the two for a time, when an outburst on the part of Johnstone, tpoken in all seriousness, caused Lynch to throw up his hands in despair and end the argument. Said Johnstone: “So they call you the ‘King of Umpires’! Well, just take it from me that I cart sec better around a corner than you coaid straightaway in your palmiest days."

Taylor and Canzoneri Finish Workouts for Title Bout Thursday Black-Haired Italian Betting Favorite Over Hoosier Ban' tam—Terre Haute Boxer Already Under Stipulated Weight of 118 Pounds.

. t BY CLARK B. KELSEY i I'nitrd Pngs stall I'orrmnnndcnt ‘ CHICAGO, June 22.—Those genI tlemen who prefer blond boxers to j brunettes are outnumbered 7 to 5, j in picking the winner of the Bud j Taylor-Tony Canzoneri bantam- ' weight championship bout here j Thursday night. [ The black-haired New York Italian challenger was a betting favorGolf Marathon Now Is History WASHINGTON. June 22.—" Golf's greatest marathon” was today a thing of history, blistered feet, lost poundage, and discussion over just how great it was. Larry Dey. 21,-year-old dime size golfer, could lay claim to some kind of record, two “charley-horses” and a $25 prize—if he wished to endanger his amateur standing—for playing 243 consecutive holes Tuesday over the East Potomac course. Eddie Tipton had a trimmer waistline, raw “dogs” and a split toe for lasting 218 holes to beat his former local record of 216. And Melvin Luttrell, 16, who rose from caddy to marathon pace-setter during the gruelling day, claimed 217 holes, one better than the old local mark, and went back to caddying. Dey said after a night of pillowpounding that he guessed 243 holes might not be the world’s record. Someone, he didn’t know the name, had done 256 holes in Akron, Ohio, in 1923. Or perhaps it was in 1924. Or it might have been in New Orleans or Keokuk. But anyway 243 holes were enough personal record for Larry Dey.

INDIANS AND BREWERS BATTLE IN DOUBLE BILL Two Contests for Fans at Tribe Park Today—Milwaukee Series Ends Thursday.

Two ball games for the price of one ticket today. Indians and Brewers, rained out Tuesday, were to mix in a doifbleheader at Washington Park this afternoon, hostilities starting at 2. The series will end Thursday, and on Friday the Columbus Senators will move in to tackle Bruno Betzel's pastimers. Milwaukee, in second place, has Fly Champion Has Easy Bout R ' ST.'' l Louis! June 22.—Fidel La Barba, world’s flyweight champion, had little difficulty in winning the decision over Mike Brody, Peoria, in ten rounds Tuesday. From the outset the fight was the champion’s. He flicked across dazzling lefts and hard rights and numerous times upset *the Peoria fighter. Unofficial ringside verdicts gave La Barba all ten of the rounds. In the semi-windup Joe Woods, Los Angeles, knocked out Tom Pivac, St. Louis, in the ninth round.

With the Major Leaguers

Hu 'limes Special The Cardinals tumbled the Cubs into third place in the National League standing by winning both games. The first one was a 13-in-ning thriller, which went to the Cards, 6 to 5.

Styborski and Grabowski

Itu I Press NEW YORK, June 22.—Styborski, a pitcher from Penn State College, has joined the New York Yankees for a trial. And the Yankees have a catcher named Grabowski. If Styborski pitches and Grabowski catches, the announcers are going to have a tongue twister to wrestle with. HOOSIER WINS TOURNEY Clarence Rader, Gary, Captures Lumbermen’s National Golf Title. Bu Times S-pccial CHICAGO, June 22.—Clarence C. Bader, Gary, Ind., with a total score of 152, Tuesday captured first honors in the Lumbermen’s national golf meet at the Beverly Hills course. About 100 golfers competed. Johnny Simpson, Paris, 111., and 1926 winner, was second with 155. F. M. Clifford, Valpai/iso, Ind., and O. H. Davidson. Burlingame, Cal., were tied for third with 158.

f ite over Taylor today, and It seens probable he will be a 6 to 5 favorite when he crawls into the ring In Cubs park. Both bantams finished their strenuous workouts Tuesday and were to confine their activi'ies to light gymnasium work today. Both came through their training grind in fine shape, an£ should enter the ring in perfect physical condition. Canzoneri Looks Drawn Canzoneri weighed 119 pounds Tuesday, and his manager. Sammy Goldman, said he would make the 118-pound weight with ease. He seemed slightly drawn, but his backers said it was better for him to get down to weight early than to sweat off his poundage the last day. Goldman said his boxer was in the best shape possible for the match. Taylor, a already is under 118 pounds, according to Eddie Long, his pilot. Taylor worked out with Pal Moore Tuesday, and was not bothered by Moore, although he found it difficult, to get to the jumpy Memphis veteran. Steps Fast Pace Taylor also boxed Joe Medill and battled furiously for three rounds He was fast and was hitting hard, and looked ready to go. However, if his last showing here against Abe Attell Goldstein is a criterion, Taylor is on the downgrade. Canzoneri, smiling and aggressive, boxed six fast rounds, three with Freddie Jacks and three with Jackie London. Promoter Jim Mullen expects a record crowd Thursday night, as a result of the fine fight the battlers put up In their first meeting in the 1 Coliseum here last winter. It was the best fight since boxing became legalized in Chicago more than a year ago, and there is no reason to believe that either bantam 'will not repeat his performance.

i lost six of eight battles with the I Tribe this season, despite the fact i the Brewers are very much in the pennant fight, while the Indians are :in fifth position and leading the i second division by only a slight \ margin. The postponement Tuesday was welcomed by the home pitching | staff because it has been forced to undergo much punishment on many occasions recently and some of the j flingers are suffering from weak | arms and lack of control. Other games rained out ip the A. A. Tuesday were Minneapolis at Toledo and Kansas City at Louisville. The heavy hand of President Hickey is expected to fall on certain players with St. Paul and Columbus for farcipal playing at Columbus. Tuesday. Umpires Rue. Derr and James had a tough day and police reserves were called when bleacher fans tried to rush the field. Rain held up the contest an hour fifteen minutes and when play was resumed both clubs were guilty of clowning 1 the action. The Saints won, 13 to 4.

and two singles which played an important part in the Braves' 7 to 5 victory over the New York Giants. Hughie Critz of the Cincinnati Reds hit a single in the 10th inning of the Reds-Pirates game, and that single scored Ethan Allen, giving the Reds a 7-6 game. The Pirates had rallied in the ninth to tie the score. Paul Waner, who had hit safely in the 23 preceding games went without a bingle in Tuesday's game. Dazzy Vance, pitching in his 1925 form, fanned nine batsmen, allowed only five hits—although one was Cy Williams’ twelfth homer of 1927, and the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Phillies, 7 to 3. New' York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox in both games of a double-header. The first game went to the Yanks, 7 to 3, and Lou Gehrig slammed out home run No. 18 for the season. The second game went to the Yanks, 7 to 1. Ruth got a double but retired from the contest in the seventh, because his injured right knee started to bother him. Philadelphia Athletics split a dou-ble-header with the Washington Senators, before 25.000 Philadelphia fans. The first game, featured by the hitting of Harris, Godlin and Bltfege, went to the Senators, 5 to 4. The second was won by the Mackmen, 8 to 2, who collected nine hits off Walter Johnson, whose team played raggedly behinrf him. BRITTON SEEKS FIGHTS Former World's Champ Ready to Meet “Any Young Fellows.” Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 22.—Jack Britton, former welterweight champion, who boasts one of the longest service records in _the ring, was back here today, looking for work.

INDIANA OPEN The State open at South Bend next week will find the cream of Indiana’s pros and amateurs seeking the crown won by Leonard Schmutte in 1926. Sciimutte will not defend the title, as he now sides out of the State. Roy ertson undoubtedly will be a strong contender. His game is in first-class shape, as was demonstrated in the national open qualification trials. The numerous tournaments sponsored by the Indianapolis Womens Association is in line with the policies of the organization to stimulate feminine interest in the links sport. The two-day play at South Grove next week will be two separate meets. The idea is to interest the women who find it impossible to play two days in succession. The official women’s city tourney will be held at the Coffin course again this year. We understand Miss Elizabeth Dunn has her “cleek” working in splendid order.

Boomer Is Hailed as Best British Golf Player ’’ t-~- ■■ EW YORK. June 24.—The best British player since Vardon— M that's the label the boys have snapped on Aubrey Boomer's 1 1 | worsted golf jersey after Boomer had been seen on the links. Critics were inclined to sniff contemptuously at Worcester and at Oakmont, but Messrs. Hagen. Armour. Sarazcn compared notes and their general opinion was that this Boomer was a lil and one to be watched closely. He is long off the tee. beautifully crisp with his irons, accurate above the ordinary with his chips and run-up shots, a fine putter. That is. he has acquired a delicate putting touch and, while his play on the fast Massachusetts greens was only fair, it- was easily seen he has the putting art down to a nicety. The American team as a man expected to and did brush aside the Duncans, Compstons, Rays and others in the American open, but they all were fearful, while admiring the sterling qualities of Boomer, that this tall, quiet gentleman who seems vocationally misfitted, would cause a lot of trouble. However, he didn’t. He is the mightiest foreign threat, however, since Ted Ray beat the field at Inverness in 1920.
