Playing the Field

-With Billy Evans'

.ANAGING a big league ball Mclub has many unpleasant i ____ moments, and owning one is not far behind in the matter of worries.

In a serine, however, the tribulations of manager and owner differ widely. Managerial woe is largely mental because of inability to win, while that of the owner Is largely financial. In the American League the Cleveland Indians are offered as mute testimony to

Evans

the vagaries of baseball and its ever shifting conditions. The Cleveland club finished second in the American League last season. When I looked it pver in spring training that year I fancied it would do well to head the second division. I was not alone in my opinion. Yet Cleveland, after an ordinary start in 1926, settled down and played excellent ball from about June 15 to the close of the season. At one stage of the race, late in September, the Indians almost caught the Yankees, despite a tengame lead enjoyed by that club In mid-season. Unquestionably the showing of the Cleveland club was the outstanding surprise of both majtjjr league races last season. Only three games separated it from (he top at the finish. VALUE DIFFERENT NOW mHAT finish of only three games away from the leaders in what seemed to be an evenly balanced league made the Cleveland franchise appear a most desirable one. , Last winter a number of overtures were made for the Cleveland club. I am told by Ban Johnson that one of the bids was for $950,000 in cash. At that time I believe a valuation of $1,250,000 was placed on the club by its owners. Other offers were made, but Mr, Johnson tells me the above one was bona-fide, made by wealthy sportsmen. regarded in high favor by the other American League magnates. None of the deals went through. Provided the several owners of the Cleveland club were desirous of such a happening, they got a very bad break, since various conditions make 1 the value of a major league club a fluctuating one. The Cleveland club as a second place team, a near-pennant winner, was, of course, a much more valuable proposition than a sixthplace club, the standing of the team at present. CLUB MISSES SPEAKER SHE sixth place Cleveland club of today is, with the exception of Tris Speaker, center fielder and 1926 manager, exactly the same aggregation that pressed the Yankees for the pennant last year. In spring training this year the Indians looked no more impressive than last season. It struck me as about a fifth place club. Mindful of what it did last season, however, I realized most anything could happen. This year it again happened, but with reverse English. Instead of being a pennant contender all the way, the club has been floundering around in the second division since the start. The unexpected failure largely can be traced to lack of good pitching. Last year the twirling of the Cleveland club was consistently good, with Cjfeorge Uhle starring. He won twenty-seven ball games. This season it has been correspondingly erratic. The value of a baseball franchise is based almost entirely on results in the pennant standing, which controls the gate receipts. This year the Cleveland club has been neither an artistic or financial success. It hardly seems possible that in one year there could be such a decided difference in the play of the same ball club. The fate of the Cleveland club shows w hat a gamble a big league owner constantlv takes.

Radio Rights for Big Scrap

Bit United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 2.—The radio rights for the Dempsey-Tunney championship fight here in September, under an agreement Tex Rickard has with the National Broadcasting Company, will go to that concern, however, all Chicago newspapers owning stations must be allowed to broadcast the battle.

Hornsby Given Credit for Comeback Staged by New York Giants

Blues in City for Round of Tribe Games Indigent Indians Open New Series—Knocked Off Twice Monday. TWIN BILL WEDNESDAY Double-header fans get some more entertainment Wednesday when Betzel’s pastimers and the K. C. Blues tangle in two games, which will make seven games in four days for the Tribesmen. The teams have a postponement to play off. First tilt at 2 o’clock. Riding along in third place and only a few games away from the second-place Brewers and leading Mud Hens, Dutch Zwilling brought his Kansas City Blues here today to open a five-game stand at Washington Park, where the Indigent Indians are holding forth and struggling like a fish out of water. The home pastimers were downed twice in the double-header Monday with the Colonels. The Betzelites got away to lead in both games, kicked up a little fuss, but folded up later and keeled over to lose first fray, 12 to 5 and the second contest, 7 to 3. Shy of Runs The Indians were shy of runs and many of the women present on “ladies’ day” no doubt would have been glad to donate them some runs from their stockings, but unfortunately that kind of runs doesn’t count in ball games. The Louisville boys collected sixteen in the opener and ten in the night cap. Schupp was the pitching victim in the first defeat and Koupal in the second. Koupal was withdrawn after being hammered and Schemanske was sent in and he stopped the Kentuckians cold. It was just another piece of bad luck in starting the wrong hurler. On the Skids Asa result of seeing the Tribesmen drop three of four, many fans are convinced the Colonels are one of the clubs the Indians are going to beat out for last place. In fact, the Colonels climbed out of the cellar by taking the Monday twin bill and Columbus fell back into the hole. Now and then, however, the home athletes play good ball and it would not be much of a surprise to see them tighten up against the powerful Blues and do some damage in the series that was to open today. ‘Muny’ Linksmen Get Under Way By United Press CLEVELAND, Aug. 2. — Two young men from Minnesota were attracting attention in Cleveland today as the "first qualifying round in the National public links golf tournament got under way. One was Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, in the city for a visit in his air tour of the country; the other was Lester Bolstad, University of Minnesota ace, and last year’s champion of the public links tourney. Bolstad was paired with John Hornsby of Topeka, Kan., in the first qualifying round today. The round will consist of thirty-two holes of play today and thirty-two Wednesday. Os the 124 players entered from public-owned links all over the country, the thirty-two with lowest cards for the two days’ play will enter the first round Thursday. The field this year ranges in age from 17-year-old Paul Jackson of Kansas City, Mo., to Adrian Par, 40-year-old veteran of Topeka.

Blackburn Vs. Burke

Twenty-one years ago today, Aug. 2, 1906, Jack Blackburn, of Indianapolis, the famous negro welterweight star, knocked out Billy Burke in two rounds at Philadelphia, Pa. The latter long had been a persistant challenger for titular honors In the welterweight division and was fed to the crack Negro rinfrster to test his mettle. While never officiallly recognized as a champion, Blackburn was known as one of the greatest fighters of all time and though never weighing more than 150 pounds, he had met many of the most noted battlers of his day Including several prominent heavyweights. In 1919 he was convicted of shooting a man in Philadelphia, and sentenced to a prison term, but was paroled in 1913.

Famous Rogers, Subbing for McGraw, Proves His Managerial Skill. HAS PLAYERS HUSTLING Captain Guides Gotham Crew Back Into Race. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Strange as it would have seemed just a few weeks ago, the New York Giants are in the running for the National League pennant. The credit goes to Rogers Hornsby, whose stock as a “master mind” went down rapidly during the team’s slump. John McGraw, with a great ambition to celebrate his silver anniversary as manager of the Giants with another pennant, became so discouraged with the showing of his club that he left the team and went on a hunting expedition * for new “ivory” through the bush league belt. In Hornsby’s Care He left the team in charge of Hornsby, feeling perhaps that the boys could do no worse for the field captain than they had done for their manager. It was not with high hopes that tfie Giants left on a swing through the western belt where the Pirates, the Cubs, the Cards and the Reds were waiting for them with a wholesome appetite for soft food. Then the Giants started winning for Hornsby while the Cubs, the Pirates and the Cardinals were being whittled down to near the Giants size. The ball Hornsby has the Giants playing is the current sensation of the major leagues. “They’d better tie up McGraw and let Hornsby have that ball club,” they are saying in New York. Delivered With Cards Hornsby isn’t an accident as a manager, and what he is doing with the Giants isn’t the result of an accident or a miracle. Hornsby proved himself as a manager when he whipped the St. Louis Cardinals into a pace that won the National League championship and the world’s series last fall. He is a born leader with that faculty for handling men that can’t be explained. There are many stories told about the wrangles Hornsby has had on the field and in the club house with other players. Stories of fist fights in which he lost the decision and tales of club jealousies and politics. Perhaps some of them are true. If they are it is all the more of a tribute to Hornsby because they play ball for him on the field whether they like him or not. MUNCIE DERBY DAY in Prizes Offered on Feature Fair Program. Bn United Press MUNCIE, Ind., Aug. 2.—Today was Derby Day at Muncie’s seventyfifth annual fair. A total of $5,950, exceeding by $1,400 all previous annual race prizes, was offered.
