'Playing the Field With Billy Evan*

mHAT was a mighty tough break not only for Fred Schulte but the St .Louis Browns as well when Schulte crashed into the concrete wall in that city while chasing a fly ball and suffered injuries that threaten to keep him out of the game for the rest of the season. Schulte, who cost the Browns something like SIOO,OOO last year, was just begin-

ning to show his real ability and it seemed as if the club would cash in richly on the investment. A modest, retiring chap, he was something of a "bust” during the early games of the year. The big league seemed to overawe him. He didn’t look much

Evans

like the star he had been in the American Association the previous year. Then, almost overnight, he seemed to become acclimated to the big league atmosphere and was beginning to show why he brought SIOO,in the open market. In one respect—his ability to play in close—Schulte reminds me strongly of Tris Speaker, the greatest outfielder that ever roamed center field territory in i (he majors. LL big league outfielderr can come in fast on a ball. That 1.. is, when playing deep, they And no great difficulty in coming in fast on short-hit fly balls. However, there is a wide difference in the ability of the various outfielders when you consider the other feature, playing in close, then going out and getting balls hit over their head. In the last twenty years Schulte is the only center fielder I have ever seen in the majors, who plays in anywhere nearly as close as Tris Speaker. Playing in close enables an outfielder to catch many fly balls that he would fail to reach if deep. That is the big advantage of such a system. In order to do it, a fielder must be a good judge of distance, able to sense direction at the crack of the bat and have speed to back him up. Schulte has all these assets. He seemed ready to blossom into a star. However, the unfortunate accident he suffered may destroy some of his confidence, mav set him back. I

American Star Reels Off 71 Over New St. Andrews’ Course. IMPROVEMENT IN PLAY Whitcombe, Britisher, May Be Probable Medalist. Bn United Press . ST. ANDREWS. Scotland. July 12. —Bobby Jones reeled off a 71 on the St. Andrews new course today and his aggregate score for thirtysix holes—l47—placed him high

among the leading qualifiers for the British open golf championship. The 71 was made under the handicap of inclement weather, cold and mist having resulted in unusually high scores for many of the entrants. C. A. Whitcombe, English golfer, was the probable medalist, having wound

up the two days of qualifying play with a total of 145. Ties With Golias Jones tied with Rene Golias, the young Frenchman, whose 71 put him in the van Monday. Dr. William Tweddel, British amateur champion, had 149. Joe Kirkwood, the AustralianAmerican, brought in a 73 for a total of 148. Jones’ improvement over his play of Monday, when rain interfered with his stroking, attracted applause from a considerable gallery. Putting Is Better His putting was consistently better. It became evident early that Jones had a chance. Although playing the new course, estimated at from two to four strokes harder than the old St. Andrews eighteen, he was on his game and made a desperate bid for the lead. But C. A. Whitcombe, whose 73 of Monday placed him in the first ten, managed to get a 72 and his 145 put him two strokes ahead of Bobby. The Atlanta youth’s return to form seemed to justify the odds favoring him to win the championship which, beginning Wednesday, will go seventy-two holes.

admiration when he meets Dempsey for a chance to win the championship. I “Dempsey was a great fighter when I took his name,” he replied with a glare. Sharkey looks you in the eye as if he might take a punch at your jaw, but behind the glare, it you can stand it, there seems to be a smile that is ready to crack out but is being restrained. Objects to “Foreigner” Sharkey is not ashamed of his name or his ancestry, but he is very sensitive about the frequency with which he is referred to as a foreigner and a Lithuanian. He threatened Joe Humphries, the veteran announcer, because of it. When Humphries was introducing Sharkey and Maloney as the principals in the recent fight that made Sharkey, he made the mistake of terming Sharkey “the great Lithuanian heavyweight.” Sharkey boiled and was ready to jump out of the chair. After the fight he told the announcer in no mild terms: “Don’t you ever call me that again. I'm just as much American as you are. I was born in this country and I served in the Navy and I don’t know that you can say the same thing. Don't you ever say that again.” Not “Gang” Fighter Unlike other prominent fighters, Sharkey stresses the point, in speaking of his early days, that he was not a street fighter or the leader of the neighborhood' gang.

and started to run for second. Grant, who was pitching for the Clevelanders, fell for the ruse and threw the ball to second to catch Speaker, allowing Harris to scamper home with the winning run. Lou Gehrig added home run number 29 to his list in a game with Detroit, tying Babe Ruth again for honors in heavy hitting. It was another typical Yankee ball game. The New York club allowed the Tigers a two-run lead and didn't score until the middle of the game when they started in on Stoner, who was pitching for Detroit. The score was 8 to 5. The Grover Cleveland Alexander who won the world series for the Cardinals last year appeared on the moupd against Philadelphia and pitched for nine innings without one of the Phils reaching second. Alex allowed four hits, each in a different inning, and no bases on balls. He figured in a double play also and got one of the Cards’ fifteen safeties, a double. The score: St. Louis, 7; Philadelphia, 0. Scoring one run in every inning except the fifth and sixth, the Chicago White Sox beat the Red Sox of Boston, 7 to 6. Hoffmann, Boston catcher, threw the ball into center field after Barrett had singled, and was attempting to steal second. Flagstead played with the ball a while before returning it and Barrett raced home with the winning run. Vangilder of the Browns allowed Ty Cobb two singles and a home run as three of the Athletics’ fourteen hits. Philadelphia attacked the three-run lead held by St. Louis in the second inning and the Mackmen won, 7 to 6.

Title Worn by Callahan Endangered Junior Welterweight Champion Meets Sergt. Sammy Baker Tonight. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 12. opinion of the wiseaescs of pugdom | means anything, Mushy Callahan’s I title as junior welterweight cham- ' pion may be endangered tonight when he steps, into the ring with Sergeant Sammy Baker. The memory of Sammy's fight with “Ace” Hudkins in New York while Charley Lindbergh was the; toast of the town, still is prominent. He tamed the Nebraska wildcat by! beating him to a pulp. Until then j “Ace” was looked upon as one of | the most dangerous representatives ; of his division. Soldier Has Difficulty But the affair has not been adi vertised as a championship contest, ; principally because Baker will have 1 difficulty in making the 140-pound ! weight limit. The boys were to j weigh in this afternoon and latest ! information was that Baker would I try to qualify for a title fight. It is certain, however, the unnatural weight will be harmful to the soldier and his ring efficiency will be lower than when he fought Hudkins. Fidel vs. Moore Another champion, Fidel La Barba will appear in the semi-windup. The flyweight title holder will face Pal Moore, former Memphis boxer, and former United States Navy Gob. Ignacio Fernandez, Filipino, who stopped Abe Attell Goldstein, former bantam champion in his first appearance in the United States, is to meet Joe Lucas, Detroit 118 pounder.

“I never had a glove on my hand and never had any fights until I went into the Navy,” he said. “I had to put on the gloves in the Navy, because it was a part of the training and I wasn’t any better than any green-horn with them.” Although it may draw a punch on the jaw, an interesting story about his first fight in the service is told. At the time he was cultivating the test of admitting that he was good and darn good. Those who are familiar with the Navy life know that on shipboard there are gobs and marines and that the best of feeling does not exist between them. There is also a song sung that any marine can beat any gob in the world. ' " He wasn’t much, I can't even remember his name,” Sharkey said when recounting the incident, and his first opponemt.

As Dempsey stepped onto the dock from a boat, a crowd of twenty-five or thirty persons rushed onto it from the shore to greet him. The dock collapsed, hurling the entire Dempsey party and all the greeters into water. The lake is only two feet deep at the point, however. The crowd started scrambling up the bank, Dempsey among them. Then the former heavyweight champion saw a woman still in the water, apparently unable to get out.

The confidence that Is so strong a part of his makeup now and the gambling instinct to attempt anything were probably results of his training in the service because he fought his fay to the service championship and was offered a place on the service championship and was offered a place on the American Olympic team. He didn't make the team, not through any lack of ability but because of some words he had with an officer on the ship. He was not disciplined because his time was up and he didn’t like the idea of hanging around extra time to nWtke the team. From his early days he had a wandering instinct that caused him to leave home several times and finally enlist in the Navy, but he never followed the nomadic paths that Dempsey did in his youth.

Duncan hit a double play ball to Schupp and Rawlings was forced at the plate. Snyder’s toss to Holke would have doubled Duncan, but the throw went wild and Smith scored what proved the winning run. A bad throw by Betzel gave the Millers a run in the fifth. The errors ruined a well-pitched game by Schupp, who struck out seven Millers. Pat Malone was the lucky Minneapolis hurler.

Right Hand of Sharkey’s Is Watched Dempsey Always Open for Punch and Critics Observe Closely. Bu United Press NEW YORK. July 12—Jack Dempsey always has been open to a right-hand punch. In fact, critics say he is wide open for any kind of punch when he is not swinging himself. But it was the right-hand punch that got him into all his serious trouble and finally cost him his title. Carpentier nearly cracked Dempsey’s neck with a straight righthand to the jaw. Tom Gibbons nailed him with a right hand and made him dizzy in Shelby, Bill Brennan tore one of his ears open with a right-hander. Firpo all but knocked him out with a wild right swing and Tunney cut him to pieces with right chops and uppercuts. Jack Sharkey, training to fight Dempsey here on July 21, therefore, is concentrating on a right-hand attack, although his left hand always has been rated as his best weapon. Left Is Forte Until Sharkey knocked out Jim Maloney and got himself into the > class of “big shots,” he was regarded principally as a left-hand fighter. In the Maloney fight he started his big opponent on the way with left jabs that closed his eyes and fin- t ished with right-hand punches executed with artistic perfection. All those who have seen Sharkey working here have been impressed with his physical condition, his speed and his snappy punching. He also has ring sense—the knack of knowing what to do by instinct. But the critics are pointing out that he is too open. He has fallen into a habit of a low guard—if ha is not stalling the public—and It leaves his jaw wide open. He has a good defense, however, in his weaving style of fighting. But Dempsey knows a lot about that style ctf attack and so does Leo Flynn, who handled two fighters who beat Sharkey. Flynn Gives Reason Flynn intimates Sharkey has good reasons for holding his hands down around the waist line and that it is a deliberate move to draw shots at his head. Maloney trained for weeks on a body attack, but when he got into the ring he was so tempted by the open jaw of Sharkey, which was stuck out belligerently at him, that he forgot his fight and never went at the body. "You’ve heard it said of fighters that they didn’t like it in the body.” Flynn said recently. ‘No one likes to be punched in the stomach, but Sharkey despises it." If Sharkey cannot take it in the body, he will be in a bad way because Dempsey’s best weapon is a left hook to the body and a punch under the heart.
