Playing the Field

-With Billy Evang

r— —I HERE are many queer quirks j | j to baseball. The 1927 camPagin in the major leagues already has produced a number of unusual happenings. In some instances, the clubs and players have run true to form,

while, in other cases, the dope has been scattered to the winds in the making of diamond history. It is unusual for a major league club to go through the season without being shut out. Over a stretch of 154 games it is only natural that a team should have

Evans

off days at the bat in which it will fail to score. At the opening of the American League season, the Yankees were conceded to be the strongest club offensively in the organization. The dope had it that they would be tough for any pitcher to hold scoreless in a game. The dope was right, as the Yankees made at least one run in every one of the first 100 games they played in. Only two pitchers came even close to breaking them. TWO CAME CLOSE mN a great many of the first 100 games, generally considered the hardest, New York broke into the scoring column in the opening inning. It has been a rarity for them to go as far as the fifth inning without scoring one or more tallies. No pitcher in the first hundred games carried the club to the ninth inning with no runs to its credit. Asa matter of fact, seven innings was the limit the Yankees were kept away from the plate. George Uhle of Cleveland and “Sarge” Connally of Chicago are the two twirlers who experienced the thrill of a near shut out of the Yankees in the first two-thirds of the season. Uhle, in the first month of the season, pitched one of his most brilliant games and beat the Yankees, 2-1. They were held runless until the eighth inning when they scored their lone run. Tt was not until the fourth month of play that another pitcher held the Yankees runless in a game as long as Uhle did. TOUGH FOR CONNALLY | """■] NLIKE Uhle, Connally was U beaten by the Yankees, T>-1, l__l although he allowed only five hits, two of them scratches, and only one hit up to the eighth inning. For seven innings, the Yankees had not even threatened to score a run. Their only hit had been a fluke double by Lou Gehrig, a double that just happened when Lou attempted to dodge a pitch only to have it strike his bat and fall safely short in left field. In the eighth, however, New York bunched four hits with an error and a pass and scored four runs, more than enough to win. Directly contrary to the showing of the Yankee batters in running true to form has been the work of the Philadelphia pitchers. EXPLANATION OF RACE rpH ONNIE MACK was believed 1(1 to have the best pitching ' ■ I staff in the American League when the season opened. They looked the best in the spring. It was their failure to pitch winning ball that; early ruined, the chances of Mack s club. In the first 100 games of the season, not a single member of the A s pitching staff was able to score a shut-out victory. The veteran Jack Quinn came closest to such a feat by holding Detroit runless for 8 and 1-3 innings. After one was out in the ninth the Tigers scored two runs. New York batters have delivered, but the Athletic pitchers failed. That explains clefrly why the Yankees are so far ahead of the A’s and the other clubs in that league.

Major League Comment

Bv United. Press * Percy Jones, who started his first game for the Cubs since an operation was performed on his arm early in the season, proved himself a “one-man bail team” by'pitching effectively to ,thfc Boston batters and hitting safely each of the four times he went to the plate. The Cubs beat the Braves ’ to 2 and the victory meant a lead of two full games in the National League. Meanwhile, Cy Williams of the Phillies gave the Pirates a setback by producing a hit of each denomination in four times at bat. Williams’ homer, triple, double and single, were largely responsible for Philadelphia’s 9 to 7 victory. The Pirates came within one run of tying the score in the seventh when they scored four times. Jess Petty stepped into a tight place in the Cards’ game with Brooklyn and held the champions to one hit and no runs in the fourth and one-third innings he pitched. Petty enabled the Dodgers to maintain their lead and they won 5 to 2. It seemed to be the second division teams’ “day.” The Reds shut out the Giants 3 to 0. Luque allowed New York only five hits which were well scattered. Goslin started the fourth inning at bat for Washington with a single. When he came to bat the next time in the same inning, he hit a home run. The Senators scored ten times in that session and the final score was Washington, 17; St. Louis, 8. Four Browns pitchers worked. The Tigers put up a hard fight to take better than half of the games in their series with the Yankees, but the latter triumphed, 5 to 2, for an even split in the series. Babe Ruth hit his 35th home run, putting him within two of the total accumulated by Lou Gehrig. The White Sox series with Boston ended with a 4 to 1 victory for the Red Sox. | The Chicagoan’s lone tally was the third run they scored during the entire series.

New York and Pittsburgh Golfers Survive Field of 124. . PLAY AT CLEVELAND Empire State Vet Slight Favorite in Finals. BY GERALD D. M’LEAN United Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Aug. 6.—8i1l Serrick, New York’s seasoned campaigner, was a slight favorite to win the national public links golf championship here today over a thirty-six-hole stretch with Carl Kauffman of Pittsburgh. No two players of the 124 who teed off last Tuesday in the qualifying round could want the title more than Serrick and Kauffmann. Each has tasted the victory of being a finalist in the last six years. The tournament has been staged and both,know what it means to lose the title that is emblematic of supremacy among the golfers of pub-lic-owned courses. Former Runners-Up .\ % In 1925, Serrick was runner-up to Ray McAuliffe of Buffalo when the title was fought for at Salisbury. Last year Hauffman played second fiddle at Buffalo to 19-year-old Lester- Bolstad of Minneapolis. Serrick has entered every tournament since the inauguration at Toledo in 1922; Kauffman joined the aspirants the following year. Serrick earned the right to be a finalist by defeating Kendall Morrison, 20-year-old Sf. Joseph, Mo., star, 5 and 4. After spotting Bob Wingate of Jacksonville, Fla., the first two holes, Kauffman _uncorked some sensational shots that put him two up at the turn. He dropped one at the tenth, recovered it at the eleventh, and hung on grimly until the seventeenth, when the contest ended. Two Holes in One Another title to be settled today was the consolation flight for the consolation flight for tne defeated sixteen in the first round. This event was settled in an eighteenhole encounter between Jimmy McAuliffe of Buffalo and Frank Alff of Kansas City, Mo. David Ross Jr. of Brooklyn, N. Y., captured the non-qualifiers’ medal Friday. Ross’ victory was aided considerably by a hole in one, made in an early round. Alff’s victory in the semi-finals of the consolation con- j test also had an ace to help him.

Miss Dunn’s City Victory Is Decisive Elizabeth Plays Best Game of Career in Tourney Finals Match. By DICK MILLER Miss Elizabeth Dunn, champion Indiana woman goffer, Friday successfully defended her Indianapolis city title when she defeated Mrs. B. C. Stevenson, Meridian Hills Country Club, 5* up and 4 to play. * Miss Dunn. Avalon-Riverside, ended the match on the fourteenth hole at Coffin course when she sank her putt for a par 4. The match was the final of the Indianapolis Women's Golf Association annual tournament. Consistent Finalists It was the most smashing defeat that Miss Dunn ever has handed Mrs. Stevenson in their several finals matches. Both have been consistent finalists in all tournaments of late in indiarnP The cards: Par—put 446 433 543—38 In 444 343 484—35—T0 Miss Dunn—put/. 555 834 663—41 In'. 643 443 464—37—T Mrs. Stevensonput 656 543 663—42 Coming on the heels of the Indiana State tournament, the result was more of an upset than usual, as Miss Dunn was able to win from Mrs. Stevenson In that tournament by only 1 up In nineteen holes of play. Champ Spectacular The champion played the most spectacular round of golf the Coffin course ever has seen a woman play, and it was the best of Miss Dunn's career. H.ir score for the eighteen holes was 78. No accurate records of women’s scores at Coffin are available, but it is believed this is the lowest score a woman ever has turned in there. Makes Trick Shot The pluck shown by Miss Dunn in her recoveries was remarkable. Once she was stymied by a tree. Taking a Jigger from her bag. sha struck the ball left-handed (she is a natural right-hander), and was able to hole out in only one over par. It seemed certain that she would lose this hole before her remarkable shot was made. Mrs. Stevenson was driving poorly and her brassie shots were far below her usual play. Particular good work with the irons kept in the running until the fourteenth hole was played. Both finalists constantly thrilled a large gallery with beautiful iron shots. Friday's victory allows Miss Dunn to retain both the Indianapolis and Indiana women’s titles.
