Playing

the Field

■With Billy Evans-

mN the fight game, few welterweights are able to take on light heavyweights and meet with much success. Most fights on the ball field are

impromptu affairs. Weight stipulations are seldom considered. They just happen and a later review of the affairs, as a rule, places some one in a very bad light. I notice that President John Heydler, acting as referee, suspended Catcher Earl

gmith of the Pittsburgh club for his fisticuffs with Manager Dave Bancroft of the Boston Braves and fined Smith SSOO. While all reports of the unfortunate episode make it seem that Smith had the better of the milling, suspension by President Heydler is disqualification, according to ring ethics, and the decision in the record book must of necessity go against the Pirate catcher. This is not the first lime that Catcher Smith has mistaken the ball field for the roped arena. performances may go against B™' H|\RGER THAN BANCROFT H-i ETTING back to the recent fight between Smith and Bancroft. It Would have Hen considered bad match-making ring circles. Smith is three ■ches taller and weighs at least 25 Ifounds more than Bancroft. I Sending Joe Dundee, welter Rihamp, against Jack Delaney, light heavy heavy titleholder, gives you some idea of the difference of the principals as to size. Delaney would be regarded as an awful egg if he couldn’t kayo Dundee, so by a similar line of reasoning Smith is entitled to no great credit for his physical victory over the smaller and much older Bancroft. Not being familiar with what liappened on the ball field. I have no desire to comment on the right or wrong of the affair, but it seems as if Smith took no great physical chance when he tied up with Bancroft.

Tilden Defeats Brugnon at Wimbledon; Goes to Semi-Finals

College Net Meet Opens at Haverford 35 Schools Represented in Tennis Tourney—Holman Is Favorite. h HAVERFORD, Pa., June 27. Four score racquet wielders, representing thirty-five colleges and universities -from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, were at Merion Cricket Club here today, set for the opening round of the annual intercollegiate tennis championships. A keen battle for the title, won last year by Edward Chandler of the University of California, is looked for, with Cranston Holman, Stanford star, whom Chandler defeated in the 1926 finals, looked upon as the favorite. Holman’s path is not taken to be one of roses, however, with entries like Charlie Watson of Yale, Barr of Southern Methodist. Van Ryn of Princeton and John Whitbeck of Harvard, in the field. Stow, who paired with Chandler last year, won the doubles title, heads the University of California’s team. Lionel Ogden, who with Holman were 1926 doubles finalists, will make another try for the title for Stanford. Leonard Holds Win Over Boyer Billy Leonard of Syracuse, who is coming to Indianapolis to meet Meyer Grace of Chicago in the main event at Ft. Harrison Tuesday night, recently beat Don Boyer of Toledo in Erie, Pa., and local fans who saw Boyer here at Tomlinson Flail last winter will rememberthe Toledoan as a mighty good boy. The Erie newspapers said Leonard out-boxed, out-smarted and outpunched Boyer and took every stanza in decisive fashion. Incidentally, say reports from Erie, it was easily seen by the fight .followers there why the Syracuse ptig was considered good enough to be signed by Tex Rickard for a bout in the Garden against Clyde Hull. The drubbing which Leonard handed Hull is now past history and a match with Pete Latzo is now being considered for Leonard by Rickard, it is said.

Toledo Hens, Ruling Roost, Here Next; Have Won Eleven Straight

Tribe Wallops Senators, Then Suffers Shutout on Sunday.

BY EDDIE ASH The best the Indians could get out of the four-game series with the cellar Senators that closed Sunday, was a split and today the Betzelites received a vacation, the Monday contest having been played as part of the Sabbath double-header. And the home pastimers no doubt can use the rest. The schedule calls for the league-leading Toledo Hens to invade Washington Park, Tuesday and the way things have been going locally causes the Tribe followers to view the Hen visit with that “shaky feeling” that comes over one when the cops are about to raid the flat. Hens on Rampage Toledo and Indianapolis have met seven times this season, and the Hens have annexed six of the engagements. Furthermore, the league pacemakers have won eleven straight games. The mauling men of Casey Stengel are booked here for five games. And in between will be the Tribe’s exhibition with Ownie Bush's Pittsburgh Pirates Thursday. A large week, to be sure, for the Indian pastimers and Washington Park customers. To make up for Thursday. Hens and Indians will play a twin bill Saturday. The Indians won two and lost one in the three battles with Columbur over the week-end. Burwell tamed the invaders Saturday, 10 to 4 Boone baffled the tailenders in the first tilt Sunday and won, 13 to 2, and then the Hoosiers got shut out by Zumbro in the Sabbath finale 4 to 0. The Indians slaughtered the Senator hurlers and got fifteen hits in the opener Sunday. Russell, Florence and Boone poled home runs and Matthews, Betzel and Anderson clouted doubles. The locals stole four bases, played errorless ball and otherwise conducted themselves as world beaters. •But Zumbro, the young Senator flinger, put the brakes on the Tribe attack in the second tilt, allowing only four hits and getting spectacular support. Walk Starts It It was a pitchers’ battle, with Dixie Leverett operating for the Tribe. Dixie did not permit a bingle until the seventh, when a base on balls undermined him. He passed Nicolai, first up. and grooved the first pitch to Sullivan, who crashed a drive to right center that hopped away from Matthews for three bases, Nicolai scoring—and the deadlock was broken. Horn brought 4n Sullivan with a sacrifice fly. Leibold singled Ferrell home in the eighth and the Senators bagged another marker off Koupal in the ninth. As for Zumbro, he had only one bad inning and escaped from that when Schliebner made a great play on Pinch Hitter Florence’s drive in the eighth when the Tribe had men on second and third. Fine Fielding Plays The snappy fielding of the first sackers, Schliebner and Holke, and of the pitchers, Zumbro and Leverett, were outstanding features. Both battles were run off in fast time, the first in 1:37 and the second in 1:15. All action was over at 5:21. About 3,900 fans viewed the double bill. In six of nine innings only three Indians faced Zumbro. And in five of the first six rounds only three Senators faced Leverett to the in- ' ning. Leverett had eight assists in the

Combined Tactics Bu Unit'd T’rrss WASHINGTON, June''27.— Two brothers combined Babe Ruth and Lefty Grove tactics to win a sandlot ball game, 24 to 5, Sunday.

Bert Cole’s failure to win a single game during the first two months of the season with the White Sox has been one of the big surprises of the year.

TWO-DAY GOLF FEST FOR WOMEN TO START TUESDAY Meet Sponsored by Local Organization—Other News and Gossip From Indiana Courses.

BY DICK MILLER Tuesday morning at 9, the Indianapolis Women's Golf Association will start a two-day fest at South Grove, which, in addition to being open to all its members, is also open to all women in the city who may choose cither of the two days to affiliate with the organization. It goes without saying that we believe affiliation with the association is about the best thing any woman golfer of the city can do, providing of course, she has reached the stage of her game that she wishes to better it by tournament play.

Second This Year The tourney Tuesday and Wednesday will be the second meet ! promoted by the local women's body j this year. A one-day event was conducted at the Meridian Hills course several weeks ago. The affair at South Grove will be two distinct events, with a separate set of prizes for each day's play. The plan was worked out for those women who cannot devote two day& in succession to golf. Mrs. C. A. Tucker, who took over the presidency of the women’s organization after Mrs. William Barrere, Jr., encountered ill health, has arranged other tournaments for the year.
