PLAYING the FIEIiD With Billy; Evans'———

SN what club’s line-up will George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns be next season? The player, generally considered the greatest first baseman of all time, will be placed in the market this fall. Who will prove the highest bidder? .

When Owner Phil Ball an- * nounced that only four members of the present club would be retained he let it be known, while not naming the players, that Sisler was notun the list. Connie Mack was once eager to secure the services of Sisler, but

Evans

the poor luck that he has had with many of his veterans this season may cause him to act cautiously. While George Sisler isn’t the peerless first-sacker he was five years ago, he is far from through. New surroundings, no doubt, would help. It could not be expected that he would feel perfectly at home in St. Louis after having once managed that club. A half-dozen teams in the majors could use him to decided advantage. So I look for some spirited bidding. It Is baseball history that a playing manager who is deposed, seldom is a success in the role of mere player on the same club. HOME RUN PARKS ■ -I ESPITE a certain popularity Dthat still goes with the home run, the powers that be in baseball sooner or later must reach the conclusion that the ball now in use is too lively, at least for some of the cigar box parks in the majors. If all the parks had exactly the same size playing fields and the home run distance was 300 feet or more, then I would offer no objections to the lively ball now in use. In the larger parks there wouldn't be so much wild swinging, particularly on the part of the batters not noted for getting distance. More territory for the outfielders to roam would make at least 50 per cent of the players go back to smart baseball. Ruth’s ability to outshine all others at making home runs has been a magnet, but if suddenly a number of players able to equal or better Ruth’s deeds come forth as has Gehrig this year, the home run will have lost its Ruthian glamour and much of its kick.

Simpson Gains Big Lead Over Young Flanigan First 18 Holes

‘Fair-Foul’ Controversy Is Renewed Paolino Disqualified in Seventh for Hitting Jack Delaney Low. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The great “fair-or-foul” controversy, started after the Dempsey-Sharkey fight, was duplicated today. Amid the boos of dissatisfaction and the cheers of approval from 25,000 spectators at the Yankee Stadium Thursday night, Referee Jim Crowley awarded Jack Delaney the fight with Paolino Uzcudun in the seventh round on a foul. Delaney, who gave up his light heavyweight title to take a chance with the heavies surpassed the Basque during the first six rounds. His clever and accurate hits were countered only with powerful but wild swings. Takes It Smiling Although Delaney hit the fighter from Spain with all his force during the early rounds, Uzcudun took it smiling. At the end, his only damage was a flat and bloody nose. Delaney had spotted Paolino sixteen pounds, the weighing in at 177 , 2 and 193>i. Getting down to opinions, which is the vogue now, the opinion of the writer is that Paolino was guilty of a foul only in the event that the referee in a moment of excitement thought Delaney was wearing his tights as a beard. Nearly all of the veterans in the press pit thought Jimmy Crowley, the referee, had disqualified Paolino for hitting on the breaks. Paolino had been warned several times, but the referee couldn't speak Spanish and Uzcudun can’t understand English. Crowley, however, said Paolino had hit Delaney low four times in the final round. Winning by Mile Delaney had no overpowering reason to accept or want a decision on a foul. He was winning by a mile when that seventh round started and it was almost a cinch that he would cut up the Uzudun and blind him so badly that the ’referee would have to exercise humanity and betteir judgment by stopping the fight. Paolino lost the decision. Delaney won it. But they both lost, and perhaps Tex Rickard figures he was the third loser, because the result /of the contest proved only that Delaney and Paolino do not belong in the list of challengers and that Rickard will need more than a winner-on-a-foul to get a good card for the championship next year. RALLY FALLS SHORT Bu United Pern* LOUISVILLE, Aug. 12.—St. Paul took, the third game of the series from Louisville when a ninth inning rally fell one short for the Colonels. The score was 5-4.

Defending Title Holder 8 Up in State Golf Semi-Final Match. LANCE SETS RECORD Shoots 69—Has 3 Up Edge Over Lehman. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 12. Johnny Simpson of Terre Haute, defending his title as State amateur golf champion, encountered little opposition from Ed Flanigan, Crawfordsville’s young star, in the first eighteen holes of their thirty-six-hole semi-final match over the Alan Dale Country Club course here today, and at the end of the morning round the State champ had an advantage of eight up over his youthful Wabash College opponent. Glenn Lance, young local municipal links star, set an official tournament record in his morning round today when he shot a 69 against Johnny Lehman of Gary. Lehman was trailing three down to Lance at the end of the eighteenhole morning round. Five Up on Nine Simpson was five up on Flanigan at the end of the outward nine. Simpson had a medal score of 38 for his nine while Flanigan has 43. The champion increased his leacf on the incoming nine and at the ind of the thirteenth hole was in possession of a seven-up advantage. Flanigan won his first hole on the fourteenth when he shot a par 5. Simpson's medal for the incoming nine was 35, bringing his total to 74. Flanigan had a 39 for a total of 82. Their cards: Simpson: Out 544 548 334—38 In 344 361 3IS—-36—74 Flanigan: Out 834 565 345—13 In 354 455 355—39—82 The Lance-Lehman match was all that could be desired in spectacular play and the huge gallery that had started with the SimpsonFlanigan contest flocked over to watch Lance and Lehman stage their battle for the right to advance to the final round. 35-Foot Approach Lance played "sticky’’ shinny and was two up on the Gary flash at the end of nine holes. The local lad sank a thirty-five foot approach shot on the fourth for a birdie three. Lance increased his lead to three up at the sixteenth with some of the best golf seen over the Alan Dale links in some time. He had a birdie on the tenth, three consecutive pars, a birdie on the fourteenth and a birdie on the sixteenth.
