Playing

the Field

-With Billy Evanr

SHE home run habit has become a joke, thinks Clark Griffith, president of the Washington club. I am inclined to agree with him. Unquestionably a circuit wallop is one of the big thrills of base-

ball. I am surprised that it has retained its great popularity when one considers the monotonous regularity with which the players make them. Many pitchers, weak batters, who have always regarded the making of a home run as more or less of a fairy tale, have

Evans

broken Into the select circle within the last few years. Twenty years ago any player capable of amassing a total of ten home runs for the season was sure to lead the league in that respect. Now a league leader usually boasts about forty. There is no denying that some of the modern home runs must be rated at least a pretty good laugh, because of the many joke features connected with them. SHE animated baseball has played a most important part in-the orgy of slugging that has featured the game for almost ten years. However, it is my belief that the small ball parks have been an even more prominent factor. There is no doubt that certain club owners, in building their ball parks, had in mind the slugging | ability of some of their star players. In some cases, the stadiums were almost built around the players. In an effort to supply the big thrill in the,- nature of frequent home runs, it seems as if some of the owners have carried the joke ; too far, thereby taking much of the kick out of it. That Is the very thing President Griffith seeks to remedy by increasing the regulation distance for a home run. EOR years the regulation home run distance was 235 feet from the home plate to the stands. Recently it was increased to 250, but the extra fifteen feet made the making of a home run no more difficult. It is President Griffith’s thought that the minimum distance should; be 320 feet. Certainly any ball traveling that far into the stands or over' the wall, must be rated a ■ fairly respectable home run. In advocating such a change, President Griffith is fortunate in owning a ball park that can well handle such restrictions. Washington has one of the best playing fields in the majors. Any home run made in Griffith’s ball lot is a /legit." Washington’s right-field wall Is 328 feet from the home plate, while the left-field distance is 358. Either takes a real drive to clear. i m OUR clubs in the American I C I League—Philadelphia, New |r | Y or k and St. Louis—have playing fields that will not admit of Griffith’s 320-foot home runs at the foul-line limts. Since it is an impossibility to change the concrete stadiums to provide the extra distance, the fault can be remedied by a zoning system. The stands in the parks that are less than 320 feet could be so marked that balls passing on one side of a big white line would be two bases or three bases, as might be agreed upon, while hits to the other side of the line would be regulation home runs. This would necessitate the umpires following more closely all drives into the bleachers, but would entail no great added task or responsibility. The home run situation needs consideration, regardless of Wnether or not a zoning system would solve the problem. The home run must tie taken out of the joke class.

By United Press RIDGEWOOp COUNTRY CLUB, CLEVELAND, Aug. 4.—Upsets continued to feature the national public links golf tournament here today when Clark Morse, 17-year-old qualifying medalist from St. Louis, was eliminated in the first round by W. J. Palmer of Baltimore. Palmer won two up and one to play. Morse had been considered a sureshot for the early rounds at least after he had shot 149 for the thirtytwo holes Wednesday and Tuesday.

Bennie Kauff, Former Hoofed, Sues Giants

By United Press CINCINNATI, Aug. 4.—Bennie Kauff, former centerfielder of the New York Giants and the defunct Indianapolis Feds, filed suit in United States district court here Wednesday against the National Exhibition Company of New York, which operates the Giants, for damages of $6,052.50. Kauff alleges on Jan. 15, 1921, he entered into a contract wjth the National Exhibition Company by terms of which it promised to pay him $6,500 during the season of 1921. He claims on March 3, 1921, he entered on performance of his contract, but that the club refused to allow him to play with the Giants or any other team. Kauff says he was paid from time to time $2,000 on the contract, but was refused the balance due him of $4,500. Kauff is said to be qn baseball’s black list for some trouble growing out of an auto theft in New York, although he was not convicted of the charge.

THE IKDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘Push ‘Em Up’ to Play Against Tribe Aug. 15

Among the famoqs diamond performers to show at Washington Park in an exhibition game with the Indians Aug. 15 will be Tony Lazzeri, a fine slugger whose fame is dimmed much by Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth,-the “home run twins.’’ Lazzeri, called “Push ’Em Up“ by New York Italian admirers, is approaching the twenty mark in circuit clouts this'season. And whatever *Gehrig and Ruth try at Washington Park, Tony also will try, and the chances are good that he will get at least one wallop over the right field fence.

GREAT PITCHING FEATURES K. C.-INDIAN DOUBLE BILL Burwell Outlucked by Sheehan, but Leverett Produces Tribe Victory With Four-Hit Fray.

Strange, indeed, but facts are facts. The Indians held an advantage of two victories to one over the K. C. Blues as teams prepared to clash in the fourth fracas of the series today. Some more high class pitching was uncorked at the ball park Wednesday and the Tribesmen got a split out of the double-header, losing the first tilt, 3 to 1, and winning the second, 5 to 1. The home* pastimers also won Tuesday. Two Home Runs Bill Burwell was only slightly outpitched by Tom Sheehan in the afternoon opener, but his support was poor and the Blues got two runs as Tribe gifts. Burwell allowed five hits and Sheehan three, but each was touched for a home run, Hauser and Florence getting the circuit blows with the bases unoccupied. Two of the three errors made by the Indians helped 1 K. C. runs No. 2 and 3 around the bases. It was a superbly pitched contest, with the visitors best on the defense, no miscues being charged against them. Dixie Leverett came through in the closing struggle with a four-hit game and had the third-place Blues tied up in knots and struck out seven batsmen, fanning Shinault three times and Nicholson twice. Ten Hits, Five Runs •The Betzelites crashed out ten hits off Eddie Schaack and “Tumble Down" was solved, for five runs, four of the markers being earned. Grigsby. K. C. left fielder, had nine putouts in the first tilt Wednesday and one was a running onehanded catch off Layne that might have started something in the seventh if the ball had gone safe. It was a back-handed snare near the foul line. Grigsby came close to the league record for chances accepted by an outfielder. The A. A. book shows Paul Johnson, formerly of Columbus, owning the record with ten putouts and one assist. This occurred July 30, 1925. Snares Leverett Drive McGowan Went deep to get Leverett’s terrific drive in the seventh round of the last fray Wednesday. He sprinted far with his back to the stands and turned just in time to capture the sphere. Other snappy fielding plays were made in both coritests and the 1,000 fans present were well entertained' The Tribe was guilty of using bad judgment in the recond stanza of the opener when -he double steal was tried with Rut all on third.

Next Task Is Selection of Fight Camps Chicago Speculates on Training Sites for Dempsey and Tunney. Bj Uiv ted Press CHICAGO, Aug. 4—With the definite date of Sept. 22 set for the Dempsey-Tunney fight here, interest turned today to the selection of training sites for the champion and the ex-champion-challenger. | Dempsey has announced he will leave the coast Aug. 15 to begin training. Just where he will train is unknown. The Illinois boxing commission has announced its opposition to any training site outside this State, and plans for either boxer to establish camps in Wisconsin, Indiana or Minnesota will be frowned on, it is said. Dempsey has asked a Chicago hotel to reserve a cottage on its roof. It is believed he wishes it for the use of his wife. Rockford and Champaign. 111., two cities within 100-mile radius of Chicago, would like to see the heavyweights train there. On the other hand, there are a number of places nearer Chicago with facilities for the boxers, which probably will receive consideration. Lincoln Field race track has offered the fighters its facilities. Ticket applications were beginning to stack up here today, and Tex Rickard will return to Chicago from New York Saturday to assume charge of the handling of the ducats. He will return to New York next Wednesday to complete arrangements for the PaulinoDelaney bout in Yankee stadium night of Aug. 11.

By United Press While the New York Yankees were breaking even in dual contests. Columbia Lou Gehrig was rapping out home rims number 36 and 37, bringing his season's total three above Babe Ruth’s. He got a homer in each game. The Yankees beat Detroit’s Tigers, 8 to 6. in the second game after dropping the opener, 6 to 5. The Philadelphia Athletics romped over the Cleveland Indians in another twin bill, winning the first game. 9 to 2; the second. 7 to 4. The Athletics fell on Joe Shaute for 13 of the 14 hits they made iri' the first game, and on Willis Hudlin for 11 of the 12 they collected in the second The Chicago White Sox failed to take the Boston Red Sox seriously until it was too late, and woke up on the small end of a 2 to 1 score. The Red Sox put over their winning run in the seventh on Peckinpaugh’s error. The Chicago Cubs ran wild and swamped the Boston Braves, 1? to 1, keeping their game and a half lead in the National League. Hal Carl-1 son went the entire distance for the Cubs, while three Brave flingers were unable to stem the tide o£, Chicago base hits. * Paul Waner’s home run with two men on the paths gave Pittsburgh a 9 to 6 victory over the Phillies, and the Pirates kept pace with the Cubs, though a stride and a half behind.
