Playing

the Field With Biliy Evans

mN the day's mail I find an interesting query on a topic of interest to all baseball fans. It asivs for an opinion as to whether prove of the Athletics is a better southpaw than Pennock of the Yankees. • The worth of pitchers to a team Is judged solely by the won and lost column. Last year Pennock won 23 and lost 11 Pp|||f \ while the best JgL Grove could do IPfw:.;..: was break even. m®' . with thirteen vic■p tones and defeats. ' ,• That would K. •• ’Wator settle the arguBk rnent as overilk) whelmingly in favor of Pennock, Evans yet there are other interesting angles that enter into the discussion. Statistics show Grove allowed less earned runs per game than any other pitcher in the American League, an average of 2.51 runs in each start. Pennock was touched up to the extent of a run per game more than Grove. Why then the decided diffe’cnce In the games won and losi column is a reasonable question to ask at this point of the debate. nELL do I recall a conversaVY/ tion I once had with the late W Christey Mathewson on the art of pitching, which perhaps best answers the above question. “Base on balls seems to be the (Costliest slip a pitcher can make, (for they invariably result in runs, or at least it appears that way,” he said. “Make the batters hit their way on, don’t pass them. My, ability to get the ball over the plate makes me hard to beat. Control is a pitcher’s greatest asset, for it enables him to get the cooperation of the other eight players in retiring the batters.” Control best tells the story why Pennock won twenty-three games last season to thirteen for Grove. mriND that Grove gave 101 bases on balls to 43 for Pennock. I think that best explains why Pennock was the more valuable pitcher last season. He had by far better control. During the 1926 campaign I workeed in a great many games pitched by Grove and Pennock, and naturally am in a position to point out another angle as to the value of conrtol. During the course of last season a tendency to be wild had Grove in trouble much more than Pennock. In other words he was usually behind the batter, making it necessary that he come over with the ball to, keep from passing him. In such a situation,‘the pitch is known as the “cripple,” since the twirler usually lets up a trifle on his stuff to get the ball over. That is the ball on which the good batters pick. Grove has the greater speed but Pennock. a more deceptive curve and a better change of pace. The difference in control, however, is what Pennock more valuable to his team. I consider him the outstanding southpaw in the majors.

Mrs. Molia Mallory Eliminated at Wimbledon by British Girl

Betty Nuthall, 16-Year-Old Star, Defeats American Net Champ. ELIZABETH RYAN WINS Defeats English Woman to Enter Last Sixteen. V Bn Vnilrd Press _ , . WIMBLEDON, England, June 23. —Mrs. Molia Mallory was eliminated from the all-England tennis championships today at the .hands of 16-year-old Betty Nuthall of England, 2-6, 6-2, 6-0. Mrs. Mallory, the American national champion, is the first American to suffer defeat during the present matches. The plump little English girl’s -superior net work was largely responsible for the American woman veteran’s defeat. Though Betty is- regarded as the British tennis “hope,” she had not been picked to beat Mrs. Mallory. Youth Has Advantage Betty’s youth plainly showed to her advantage against Mrs. Mallory, who was a star before Betty was big enough to lift a racquet. Mrs. Mallory's footwork was slow, comparatively. She seemed unable to get started, even though she took the first set. In the second set the English girl braced herself. She seemed to decide that she had experimented sufficiently to know Mrs. Mallory’s weaknesses, and opened up a powerful string of forehand drives and drop shots. Betty was getting stronger as the veterrfn weakened. Mrs. Mallory fought gamely in the,.first game of the third set, which she served. Betty, throughout the set, came to the net and scored brillant passing shots, proving her right to her present title of hard court champion of Great Britain. Three French Win Three Frenchmen and the Dutch champion entered the last sixteen in the men's singles. Henri Cochet beat Heinrich Kleinschroth, 7-5, 9-7, 6- eliminating the last of the Germans. Rene LaCoste beat H. G. Mackintosh, 6-0, 6-2, 6-2. Christian Boussus, aged 18, the third Frenchman to enter the last 16, is expected to meet Tilden next. Hans Timmer ' beat the Frenchman, Pierre Landry, j 7- 6-4, 3-6, 8-6. Elizabeth Ryan entered the last sixteen in the vffttnen’s singles, beating Mrs. H. G. Broadbridge, England, 6-2, 6-3. Tilden, Hunter Triumph Coupled with the difficulties William Tilden had Wednesday with his temperament and the trouble Helen Wills had with her chill, the Americans were faced with the need to tighten themselves up as the interesting stage of the matches was reached. • Tilden entered the last sixteen of the men's singles today, defeating the Englishman, William H. Hughes, 6-3, 6-4, 6-0. Francis T. Hunter entered the last sixteen in the men’s singles, beating the Englishman, A. H. Lowe, 6-2, 8- 6-3.

He talked frankly about the Tunney fight, in which he lost his cfown, admitting he could not have gone another round without collapsing. “I do think I made a fight of It,” he said. “If I hadn’t kept leading there would have been no fight. Maybe it was all that leadig that made me lose. I kept thinking that if I didn’t make the fight we would be tossed out of the ring. “I think the fight I had with Tom Gibbons was harder, but I was trained better then and went fifteen rounds. I am confident now that I can go fifteen rounds if necessary.” SHADE AND ANDERSON Tex Announces Prelims For LightHeavy Title Bout. Hu United Press NEW YORK, June 23.—Dave Shade, New York middleweight and Joe Anderson, Pacific coast, have been matched by Tex Rickard to meet in a 10-round prelim to the Delaney-McTigue light heavy championship in the Yankee stadium, July 7.

The two. Peggy Wattles and Mrs. D. S. Reymond, proved the sensations of the second round Wednesday when they won their matches with a dazzling display of golf against a thirty-five-mile cross wind. Miss Wattles eliminated Mrs. <fc Magee Wyckoff of Buffalo, 2 and 1, while Mrs. Reymond defeated Miss Edith Quier of Reading, Pa., one up on the third extra hole.

WASHINGTON PARK GOSSIP

Henry Johnson, righthander, had the Indians, baffled in the first fray Wednesday and held them to seven hits, all singles. Boone was solved freely and had ragged support. He did some excellent fielding himself with six assists and one putout on a liner that he snared with one hand. Boh Snyder got two hits in the opening tilt and two more in the second struggle. Florence was behind the bat when the second skirmish started Wednesday. but was banished in the second inning when he had words with Umpire Connolly. Connolly appeared to be wrong in both mixups he caused. Both rows started over batted balls, one by Florence and the other by Griffin of the Brewers that put two runs across. Both Sauders and Koupal were knocked off the mound in the afternoon's closing setto. Eddleman relieved Sanders in the seventh and Burwell relieved Koupal in the eighth. When Burwell 'walked in from

The wind-up scrap Wednesday was a free-for-all and was enlivened by cushion and pop bottle showers by the fans who took exception to Umpire Connolly's rulings. "Ossifers of the law” had to get on the field to halt the disturbance. The fans didn't aim their shots at Connolly, but merely tossed bottles and cushions promiscously to give vent to their hard-boiled feelings. Connolly threatened to forfeit the game to the Brewers and this move finally caused the spectators to cease firing. Nobody was hurt and everybody went home after the local pastimers came from behind and nosed out the invaders by a two run rally in the sixtii, and a five-run explosion in the seventh. The Brewers held a 5-0 lead at one time and they felt chagrined over the manner in which the afternoon turned out. These rivals have met ten times this seaion afti the Indians have finished on the long end in seven of the engagements. In the series finale today it looked like Speecc would do the flinging for the Indians.

the bull pen the Milwaukee swatters practically folded up. He faced four men and fanned two of ’em and the others were easy outs. Luce crashed a homer off Boone and Lear poled one off Koupal. Walter Holkc clouted two triples in the second tilt and Matthews produced a triple, double and single. In order to win that wind-up fray the Indians had to do some tall hustling. Two men were out in the seventh before they set off their five-run rally. Five singles, a triple and a walk combined to grab the game out of the fire. About 1,700 fans viewed the twin pastiming. Koupal's control was bad. He hit two men, had a wild pitch and walked two. The rooters groaned in the fifth stanza of the Wednesday wind-up when Holke led off with a triple and was left stranded. Manager Betzcl took a rest for the afternoon and Miller played second and Kopf short.
