PLAYING the FIELD ———With Billy Evans

Cr— —iOULD the Chicago Cubs use Tony Lazzeri and Mark Koenig, star second sacker and shortstop of the New York Yankees? I can hear Manager Joe McCarthy shout, “Yes! Is there any

way I can get tnem?” Os course there isn't, but Chicago had a chance to get both of them before New York grabbed Tony and Mark. Bill Killefer, now with the St. Louis Browns, but who for years managed the Cubs, told me the story the other

Evans

day. It's probably a good thing for the National League Chicago didn’t buy the two rookies or the present frace wouldn’t be as tight an affair as it is. Bobby Wallace, one of the greatest shortstops in, the history of the game, was the scout who tried to have Chicago buy Koenig and Lazzeri. Wallace placed his O. K. bn the two youngsters before either Os them had made much noise in the minors and they could have been secured at bargain rates. I consider Lazzeri the most valuable young infielder in the American Laague.

iHORTLY after Wallace had Sleft on his first scouting trip, he informed me he had seen two infielders in action who were future big leaguers,” said Killefer, jn explaining how close the Cubs came to landing the two Yankee stars. “Wallace stressed the fact that both of the players were coming fast and that inside of a year or two would bring fancy figures. He expressed a preference for Lazzeri and said not to pass him by. “Following the usual procedure, the records and habits of the two players were carefully gone into. The report came back that Koenig was too high strung a player to stand up under the big league strain and that he had a tendency to be erratic in his play. The dope on Lazzeri was that he was none too strong physically. “Asa result of these unfavorable reports, the Chicago owners decided to pass up both players. What a mistake it was!” Had Chicago taken Wallace’s advice on Lazzeri and Koenig, the veteran scout would have earned , his salary for some time by ac - quiring two such classy players. S\v71 HILE on " he subject of the IW Afield, Fred Haney, fori—l mer American League player, enjoyed a big thrill, only to be followed by bitter disappointment. Some weeks ago the tail-end Boston Red Sox asked for waivers on Haney and Manager McCarthy of' the Chicago Cubs claimed him. Going from a tailender of one big league to the leader in another was quite a jump. It seemed Haney finally had gotten a swell break. At the time it struck me Haney, a scrappy, aggressive player of the McCarthy type, would help the Cubs, for little Fred is a pretty good man to have around. Then followed the disappointment. Recently Chicago secured Voter of Indianapolis and Haney was sent to the Indians as part payment. The Tribesmen are flirting With the cellar in the American Association. Yoter, a third baseman, had a chance several years ago with Cleveland.

Semi-Finalists in National Amateur Battle Over Minikahda

Jack Boxes Few Rounds in Workout Disregards Routine and Goes Three Stanzas With Sparring Partners. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—Jack Dempsey disregarded training routine, Thursday and boxed three rounds with his sparring partners instead of staying on light work. What the former champion was to do today was problematical as he has regulated his activities according to'the way he feels, rather than by any set schedule. The last of the three rounds of boxing was with K. O. Christner of Akron, Ohio. Dempsey shot a left hook to Christner’s jaw and had him reeling on the ropes, practically out on his feet, when Manager Flynn ordered the affair stopped. Jack received his best workout from Jack McCann of St. Paul. McCann kept sticking a left hand in Dempsey’s face, occasionally landing with a right. The big boy retal--iated by pounding McCann around the head and body. Benny Kruger, the German lightheavyweight, failed to lay a glove on the ex-champion, who was pounding him at will all through the round. Flynn, who was greatly pleased by the workout, kept ordering Dempsey to roll his h ad so he would not be a target for left hand leads. Five miles of roadwork followed by a visit from Estelle Taylor, his movie-actress wife, occupied the remainder of the day.

Jones, Ouimet Meet for Fourth Time in Seven Years. FINAL MATCH SATURDAY I Bobby Brilliant in Thursday Competition. BULLETIN MINIKAHDA, Minneapolis, Aug. 26.—Bobby Jones ended the first nine holes of his semi-final match five up on Francis Ouimet.

KELSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent MINIKAHDA COUNTRY CLUB, Minneapolis, Aug. 26.—Bobby Jones of Atlanta, and r.ancis Ouimet of Boston, met today in the semifinals of the National Amateur golf tournament—their fourth meeting in championship play in seven years. Although Jones has twice avenged in National Open championship tournaments, the defeat he suffered at Ouimets hands in Boston in 1920 in the National Amateur, today’s match was the first opportunity he had to even the score in amateur play. In the other semi-finals match today, Chick Evans, who, like Jones and Ouimet, has held both Open and Amateur national titles, faced Roland Mackenzie, 19, of Washington, D. C. On his first two matches of the Minikahda tournament, Mackenzie was carried to the nineteeitth hole before he won. In the third round Thursday he narrowly escaped being defeated by Harry Legg. who eliminated George Von Elm, defending champion.

Jones met Harrison (Jimmy) Johnston, the home course boy who set the course record which Bobby tied in qualifying. Bobby, playing unbeatable golf, won 10 and 9. His 68 for the morning round was just one stroke above the course record. While Ouimet had a slightly stiller battle, he was not in danger. He defeated young Phillips Finlay, 5 and 3. “Chick” Evans defeated Eddie Held, 4 and 3, after being one down at the end of the morning 18 holes. Mackenzie was forced to the last hole to win from Legg, 1 up. Blue Eleven in Strenuous Drill By Times Special CAMP CROSLEY, Ind., Aug. 26.

Wiggins Put on Knees by Georgia Pug Stribling Gets Shade Over Chuck in Furious Scrap of 10 Rounds. Fist’c fans of Indianapolis saw a strangi sight at Washington Park Thursday night—the old local master and Hoosier champion, Chuck Wigging, was knocked to his knees by Young Stribling of Georgia. A game fellow is Chuck, and of many glove experiences, but he made a mistake on defense in the seventh round and got ccpped for a short count. Wiggins was gfing good at the time and the kmckdown was a jolt to Wiggins’, supporters. And it hurt the old boy. He was not the same Wiggins again until the ninth round, and even then he lacked steam. In the opinion of The Times, Stribling won the scrap by a shade. It was a great fight, one of the best in the fistic history of the city. It was furious and vicious the whole route after the opening session. Both men were stung hard at times and the large crowd viewed plenty of action. Including the main go, six scraps were staged, the results of the others, in the opinion of The Times, being as follows: Cecil Harris Chicago Negro, decisively outpointed Jack Leslie In four rounds. Indianapolis, decisively outpointed Soldier Shannon, Ft. Harrison, in six rounds. Shine, Indianapolis, knocked out Charlie Sconce. Indianapolis. In the fifth round. Royal Cox. Indianapolis. outpointed Johnny Murphy, Indianapolis, in six rounds. Jack Malone. Georgia, had the better of Joe Dillon, Indianapolis. In six rounds. Referee Patton helped make the Wiggins-Stribling fight a speedy affair by keeping the big fellows out of knots and the spectators were treated to high class and sensational boxing. There was seldom a dull moment, and for many ‘.he tenth round came too soon. The prelims were attractive, also, with Referee Mitchell keeping the four first jousts moving at top speed. Plez Oliver handled the four-round conflict between the giant Negroes, Harris and Leslie, and he turned in a good job. Everything went off lovely, except part of the seating arrangements which permitted the gate crashers and seat crashers to appropriate somebody else’s chair. In that respect, the city boxing commission. composed of councilmen, fell down on its duties^ AND YET ANOTHER!
