cracking comment from the crowd. The football audience is just as demonstrative as the baseball crowd, more so as a steady diet, but It: noise-making is confined entirely to cheering rather than an exchange of repartee. Fistic auciences conic closer to the baseball species than in any other form of sport. Often they are more brutally Irank in expressing their opinions. Many of the best bits oi repartee SsJbave heard at ball games have been broadcast by the spectators rather than the atnletos or umpires. WAITED ON JOHNSON r—. S-a rule baseball crowds are I A not keen tor long winded l**! speeches when sonic player is called to the home plate to receive a gift from the admiring home folks. “Play ball. Cut the conversation. Start the game. Give us less words and more base hits.” Such are just a few of the' phrases lung at the "speaker and invariably 1 le attitude of the fans spoils many t speech that has taken hours to prepare. Oniy once in all the twenty-two years that I have been in baseball nave I seen a crowd sit through thirty minutes of speech-making and presentations without yelling for the game to start. I have reference to the twentieth anniversary of Walter Johnson in the American League, which was recently properly celebrated in Washington. Yet as gift after gift was being heaped upon Johnson, with the donor expressing a few words of good wishes, some mighty funny cracks were wafted from the stand to the playing field. CRACKS FROM FANS rrrci HEN the master of the ccre\v/ monies made his first few VY remarks much after the manner of the announcer making known the batteries, it was only natural some wag should yell: “Who did you say was pitching foi Washington?” It being known for weeks in advance that Johnson would perform, the wise-crack got a big laugh. As Secretary of State Kellogg came on the field to present Walter Johnson with the American League distinguished service medal, someone yelled: “Who is that guy? What league did he ever play in?” Even Mr. Kellogg enjoyed a hearty laugh at the quip pulled at his expense. Walter Johnson likes golf next to baseball. Several of the Washington professionals presented him with golf clubs, which inspired someone to shout:

•I firTr) HY not give him a base * YY/ ball bat? Ho can't make '■ vv any hits with those th'mgs.” When the master of ceremonies Raid “a bottle of perfume from Miss So and So,” it brought forth this remark from the stands: ‘‘l hope Mr# Johnson didn't hear that one, Walter,” but the great pitcher was equal to the occasion for he replied: “That’s the first gift I will turn over to her." However, the biggest laugh of the. day came as Walter turned his medal studded with 20 diamonds over to Umpire George Hildebrand to show to the rest of the players. As he did so came the warning: ‘ Keep your eye on that bandit, Barney. You're taking a long chance.” ACOSTA~~IN HOSPITAL Colonel Player’s Skull Fractured by Pitched Ball. hu United Press LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Aug. 16.

FANS SEE RUTH POLE ONE OF HIS MIGHTIEST HOMERS Babe Believes It Hardest Drive of Career —Indians Perk Up and Win —Layne, Matty, Boone Shine.

Well, at any rate, Indianapolis fans saw Ruth hit one. And it was one of his mightiest. Over the fence and far away, with a pack of small boys chasing | the pellet across the railroad tracks. Including everybody, cash custom- ■ ers and all. nearly 10.000 people viewed the New York Yankec-Indi-anapolis Indian exhibition at Wash- | igtcm Park Monday, and the crowd saw the Betzelites win, 8 to 5. It was the fourth, time the Yankees have played here and the fourth time the Hoosiers annexed ! the honors. Two Tribe Homers Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were the big attractions, but the Indians homed in on the thunder and Herman Layne and Carl Boone swatted homers. Gehrig failed to get oie over the fence, but he delivered witft three ; fine singles that gave an idea of his tremendous power. Babe Ruth obtained only one hit, but it was a BIG ONE. In the j eighth inning he connected with all his dynamite and sent the ball soaring high and far over the right field fence. With All His Power The Bambino said he believed it was the longest drive he ever made, and New York newspapermen with the Yankees, in position atop the grand stand to follow the flight of the sphere, expressed the same opinion Babe wound up with the pitch, and when he connected he appeared to have every ounce of his swing and strength into the drive. Carl Boone pitched the full game for the Indians and Oiard, a south- | paw, and Thomas, a right-hander, mixed ’em up for the American League leaders. Giard, former Toledo hurler. worked six innings and Thomas two. The Indians got | twelve hits and the Yankees fourteen. It was a gala diamond day at the park. Getting something autographed was the rage. Baseballs, hats, score cards, pocketbooks, in

Miss Dun qualified Monday, demonstrating some of the fighting spirit characteristic of her game. After traversing the first nine holes of the Lake Geneva links in 45 strokes, Elizabeth buckled up to her game and came home in 43. Os course, today, our champ had a tough bit of work cut out for her. The first match found her against Miss Frances Hadfteld who tied with Virgiina Van Wie for low medal honors Monday, with an 80, one under par. JOHN TRIED HARD The other day over at Terre Haute, we stood at the sixteenth green at the Alan Dale Country Club course and watched Johnny Lehman, Purdue University student, make one of the boldest shots in golf we ever have load the opportunity to witness. John was dormie to George Lance, new State amateur champion, and was fighting to win the last three holes. Many scores of

ing a stir in somp quarters just as the announcement of the American line-up did recently. The British team as announced officially by Colonel Commandant W. A. Tomkinson follows' 1. Captain C. E. Pert. 2. Major A. H. Williams. X Captain C. T. I. Roark. Black—Major E. G. Atkinson. The reserves are Capt. Richard George, Capt. John P. Dening and Lieutenant H. P. Guiness. Criticism of the make-up of the British team comes as a result of placing Captain Roark, the hardhitting, hard-riding Irishman, a! No. 3 instead of No. 2. Captain Roark, recognized as the best of the British players, had been considered a certain choice for No. 2, where most of the riding and free hitting is done. The omission of J. Watson Webb and Malcolm Stevenson, veteran internationalists, from the United States team caused dissatisfaction in many quarters when the personnel of the squad was announced. The United States line-up will be: 1. Winston Guest. 3. Tommy Hitchcock. 3. Cheever Cowdin. Black—Devereux Milburn.

fact anything that Ruth and Gehrig could write on. The crowd was too great for the stands and many fans viewed the fray from the field. Manager Huggins of the Yankees was absent and Coach Art Fletcher was in charge of the big leaguers. The Knights of Columbus presented baskets of flowers to Ruth, Gehrig. Fletcher for Huggins, and to Manager Bctzel of the Indians. The crowd gathered early to see the Yankees take batting practice, and both Ruth and Gehrig lifted the ball out of the enclosure during the warm-up. The visitors used five former A. A. players in their line-up—Durst. Gazella, Went, Grabowski and Giard Ruth played first base in order to be near the biggest part of the crowd and Gehrig performed in left field. Wid Matthews scored four times, stole a base, got a double and single and two walks. Mcrchart made a great stop to rob Matty of another hit. The little fellow was a whiz Monday. Herman Layne drove in four of the Tribe's eight runs, with a homer, single and sacrifice fly. He also stole a base. Derr and Powell, American J:t >- elation officials, umpired the exhibition. Layne’s homer went over the low left, field fence and Boone’s circuit drive dropped over the low rightfield fence. Lazzeri played a fine fielding game, but failed to hit safely. The Yankees departed for Chicago Monday night. The Indians were idle today. The Tribesmen leave for Kansas City Wednesday, where they open a series with the second-place Blues Thursday. Paid attendance Monday was 9,588.

two have been turned in at the sixteenth and Lance has quite a few of them. The hole, scarcely 100 yards from the tee, is a real test of skill. And Johnny was shooting not for a deuce, but an ace! The little white pellet sailed straight to the hole, veered slightly to the left and stopped a scant four inches from the cup. It was a great attempt. 0 LADY LUCK PRESENT Most holes in one are the result of luck. With all due respect to the game of John Milnor, president of

the In dianapolis park board, we assert the Goddess of Luck was smiling on Milnor Sunday when he made an “ace” on the sixteenth at Riverside, a 102-yard pitch shot. Milnor played with Victor Winterrowd. Vic stood on the tee and watched the gutta percha i disappear into the j mp. He was as proud of the feat as was Milnor. Milnor, of course, shot

for the pin. Like most of us, he probably would have been satisfied with a deuce or even a “trey.” But Lady Luck was hovering in the vicinity.
