tet of twirlers all boast a great fast ball, it is the deceptive curve of which each is the master, that has accounted for most of the strikeouts. Curve ball pitching is at present In high favor in the majors, particularly in the National League. The well controlled curve is a great strike-out medium. POOR HURLING BLAMED r=7| HEN you start trying to dope W why the world ' hampion __J Cardinals are not out in frcnc by a fair margin and why Cleveland, runner-up in the American League last year, is sixth this season, just glance at the pitching averages.

As you peruse the work of the twirlers in the two major leagues, look carefully for the names of Uhle of Cleveland and Rhem of St. Louis. The figures back of the names of these two hurlers tell the story in a brief and concise manner. Last season Uhle won twentyseven games and los’; only eleven to top the pitching averages of the" American League. With only a month to play, Uhle’s name shows only five wins against six defeats. A bad arm has handicapped him all season. Add twenty victories to Cleveland’s present average and it would mean a first division berth for the Indians. RHEM SHY 1926 MARK EAST season Flint I them with twenty victories against seven defeats, ranked second in tne National. Ray Kremer of Pittsburgh won the same number of games and lost one less, gjving him a few points the better of Rhem. This spring a salary difference caused Rhem to remain away from the training camp. He missed all of his spring work, since the dispute wasn’t adjusted until after the season opened. That hurt. Later in the season, he drew a suspension because of some alleged or real infraction of the club’s rules. That didn’t help. In addition, he just couldn’t gat the breaks. While Rhem has pitched well enough, he hasn’t been favored with" the same good luck that came his way last year. .

New Tribe Ozmer Plans All-Around Baseball Shake-Up Here

Lake Ontario Swim Draws Water Stars Ernest Vierkotter Leads Huge Field in 21-Mile Toronto Marathon. By United Press TORONTO, Ont., Aug. 31.—The twefity-one-mile $50,000 Toronto swimming race, started today amid perfect weather. Two hundred and ninety-nine swimmers plunged into the water at 8:30 a. m. when Premier Ferguson of Ontario fired the starting gun. Ernest Vierkoetter of Germany had a lead of three-quarters of a mile by 12:30 p. m. Miss Hertle, New York, led the women and was sixth in the race.

James A. Perry Proposes Modern Park and Managerial Change. W. C. SMITH STEPS OUT Indians to Be Home-Owned j —Young Talent Sought. Ownership of the Indianapolis baseball club, including franchise, players and park lease, will pass from the possession of William C. Smith Sr. into the hands of James A. Perry, Indianapolis business man, at midnight tonight, according to the terms of a deal completed late Tuesday. Smith pays players salaries up to Sept. l. * Perry and his associates first broached the subject of buying the Indians Aug. 18 and from that time the transaction gradually developed until Tuesday, when all parties met and the controlling stock transferred. Perry bought 958 shares of the Indianapolis Athletic Association stock, all that Smith possessed. The remainder of the stock of 1,000 shares, 42 shares, is held locally. To Be All Local The new owner plans to interest other prominent local citizens in the club in order to make it an all-In-dianapolis affair and he said today he would go to any length to put the Tribe ball team back on its feet and up into the pennant contender class in 192d. Perry appears to realize the need of anew park here, but has not yet obtained a suitable location, he stated this morning. He thought of building anew plant to seat 20,000 on vacant ground adjoining the present W. Washington St. site, but passed up that idea when he learned a long-time lease could not be obtained from the railroad company that owns the property. Approved by Hickey Thomas J. Hickey, president of the American Association, attended Tuesday’s conference and approved the sale of the Indians, though regretting to see Smith retire. The league prexy welcomed Perry into the fold of A. A. magnates. Smith has been connected with the Tribe since 1914, when he secured part ownership with James C. McGill, his nephew. In 1919 Smith purchased McGill’s stock and became owner and president, and his son, William C. Smith, Jr., vice president. Smith is an eastern man, dividing residence between South Norwalk, Conn., and New York. Failing health the past two years led him to give up his Indianapolis baseball interests. He was ready to sell a few years ago, when the Cincinnati Reds discussed buying the Indians, but his price was not met at that time. The amount of money James A. Perry paid Smith for the club was not divulged, though it is understood Smith’s price was met, probably $155,009.. Active tn Real Estate The new Tribe boss, prominent in Indianapolis real estate circles, is a son of the late C. C. Perry, founder of the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company, the predecessor of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company. James Perry’s brother, Norman A., is president of the Power and Light. Perry soon will start reorganization of the Tribe official staff. He was not ready today to disclose the names of officers he has in mind, but it is thought William C. Clauer will be retained as secretary. Betzel Due to Go Manager Bruno Betzel is working under a one-year contract only and the future field management of the club will be taken up with Betzel when the team returns home Saturday. Betzel probably will be left in iharge of the team the remainder f the season, but anew manager dll be appointed for 1928. Perry has been an ardent diamond follower and believes league baseball can be brought back to popularity here by giving the fans a modern, clean park with plenty of seating capacity and parking space and by holding on to star players. Seeks Young Players The new Tribe owner is ambitious to develop young talent and to have the club managed by a bench pilot. Heals of the opinion the A. A. is too fa* for a playing manager, and Smith, the retiring boss, is of the same opinion now after this year’s experience with Betzel trying to do double duty. The team’s best prospect now is Harold Warstler, shortstop, who was farmed in the spring to Quincy of the Three-I League. Cardinals, Cubs and Pfrates have made offers lor Warstler and the Giants also have indicated they are interested tn the youth. The Indians will be home Saturday to play Louisville. They go to Louisville for a double-header Sunday and the nretum here for a "dou-ble-header Labor Day.

Three Rounds Enough +*- —"— —..——-—..——— ——4 Dempsey’s Greatest Knockouts for Jack to Wallop Miske

ir P*i ■'* ' . 3

□ T took Cnampion Jack Dempsey less than three rounds to knock out Billy Miske when they fought at Benton Harbo.. Mich., in September, 1920. It had really taken just one blow, however In the very first round to convince the 15,000 fans that the bout would not last long. That blow was a right to Miske’s heart, a pile-driving right that caused the challenger to emit a painful grunt easily heard far from the ring. Another right in the second round dropped Miske for a few seconds. This right struck him in the ribs. Only a clinch when he came up saved him. One minute and thirteen seconds of the third round passed before Dempsey flattened his opponent. It was a blow that Dempsey seemed reluctant to give—yet had to. Miske had shot a left hook to Dempsey's jaw. It surprised the champion. Jack, delaying a moment, sent a teasing light left at Miske and then followed with a left hook that sent him down for a count of nine. 1 But experts were unanimous in the opinion that the fight had been decided by that smash in the opening round, that pile-driving right to Miske’s heart that caused the St. Paul battler to grunt in pain! A right cross to the jaw ended the bout.

Helen, Bobby and Yankees Are Supreme No Back Talk as Far as Those Three Are Concerned. BY HENRY L. FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 31. There can’t be much chance of back talk against the statement that this has been a rather mild season for Helen Wills, Bobby Jones and the New York Yankees. Giving Miss Wills preference because of her sex, she ranks as one of the outstanding figures of sport. She not only regained the American women’s tennis championship Tuesday by defeating little Betty Nuthall, the charming English school girl, but she finished her come-back season with a record that shows her the mistress of every international tennis player of any note. 'Tuesday’s score was 6-1, 6-4. Defeats ’Em All Miss Wills, becoming more beloved as “our Helen,” during the busy summer months defeated every tennis player of note in the records. "Helen," said Miss Nuthall, “hits so hard I couldn’t see the ball half the time.” Young Mr. Jones of Atlanta, who wants to be called "Bob” now instead of the juvenile "Bobby,” also has finished a fairly successful season. After going back to England and winning the treasured British open championship with a great reoord of 285, he returned home and gave the best American amateurs the worst beating they ever have taken in their lives. Bobby Paid Tribute No greater tribute could have been given to Jones than that which was written by the master, Walter Hagen. "That fellow Jones,” Hagen said, “is too good for anybody. He hasn’t anything that is wrong.” Then we arrive at the New York Yankees, who are as sure to be in the coming world’s series as a Monday will follow a Sunday. The Yanks are so far in front of the American League contenders the ball players on the other clubs are ready to go home now. The tennis season was closed officially at Forest Hills Tuesday as far as the girls are concerned, and Bobby Jones knocked the golf season dead last week at Minneapolis. The Yanks are “in” now as the American League champs, but you may make money on your judgement as to the winner in the National League. The Chicago Cubs are the favorites, because they finish the season at home. But don’t forget that the New York Giants also are in that League. Sparring Mates Work; Jack Idle By United Press CRETE, 111., Aug. 31—Jack Dempsey was expected today to resume sessions with his sparring partners, although there was no assurance that Leo Flynn would not order a third day of idleness to prevent the heavyweight challenger from "getting in the pink too soon.” When Flynn notified Jack Tuesday he was not to box as he had planned, Dempsey opened the camp gates to a crowd of fans who had intended to pay admission to see the champion work. Sparring partners in the Dempsey troupe were sent into the ring against each other and the crowd seemed to enjoy the show almost as much as If Dempsey had boxed and they had paid to get in. LOCKHART SETS RECORD Speed Demon Drives 135.5 Miles Per Hour at Altoona. By United Press ALTOONA, Pa., Aug. 31.—Thirtysix cars have been entered for the fifty-mile amateur race which will’ precede ■ the 200-mile championship race at the Altoona speedway Labor day.

Grace Beats Elkhart in Harrison Main Go Before Largest Crowd of Season

Before a capacity crowd, the largest of the season at the Ft. Harrison boxing arena, Meyer Grace outpointed "Chief” Jack Elkhart in Tuesday night’s ten-round feature at the punch bowl. Grace got away to a lead and kept throwing gloves at his dusky opponent to leave no doubt about the winner at the finish. Elkhart was outboxed and seemed unable to get started- Punches to the body appeared to keep him worried. Grace was too shifty and elusive for the “Chief.” Both scrappers landed stifl punches at times. The main go supplied the fans with some real action and boosted Grace’s prestige sky high with Harrison fistic followers. In other scraps Tuesday night: Otto Atterson shaded Ray Van Nook In four rounds. Joe Dillon won on points over Lou Palmer In six rounds. Jackie Purvis won over Howdy Stout when Stout absorbed so much punishment Referee Webber stepped the scrap in the fifth round. Jack Bentley won on points over Bob Lewsader in eight rounds. It was announced that Chuck Burns and Red Fitzsimmons would meet in next Tuesday’s main event at the Fort. Gene to Leave Camp Thursday By United Press SPECTACULAR, N. Y„ Aug. 31. Today marks the end of Gene Tunney’s boxing at his Spectacular camp. Exuberant over his fine showing against sparring partners Tuesday the champion will engage in road work exclusively after ring drills this morning. Thursday Tunney will end his training here for the Chicago fight and in the afternoon will leave for the West. Gene, smiling and confident, was still happy over the pummelling he gave Chuck Wiggins and Billy Vidabeck. Wiggins really suffered in two fast rounds.

Indians Even Up Series by Hitting Hard Pound Zahniser for Fifteen Blows —Meet Saints Twice Today. By Times Special ST. PAUL, Aug. 31.—8 y winning Tuesday, 7 to 3, the Indians evened up the series with the Saints and the clubs were to clash in a doubleheader this afternoon. A single game Thursday will close the Tribe’s visit and also wind up the Hoosiers’ dates in the western division of the A. A. this season. The Betzelites crashed the ball hard Tuesday and beat Paul Zahniser, one of the Saints’ best hurlers. Fifteen hits were obtained by the Indians, Holke leading with three. Florence and Leverett were the only visitors who went hitless. Layne poled a homer in the sixth. Leverett Shows Well Dixie Leverett, Tribe hurler, had one of his good days and held the locals runless until the eighth, when he was solved for three markers. Leverett and Zahniser pitched a. rapid game until the Hoosiers start-1 ed working for results in the sixth, when they got their first run. They counted one more in the seventh, three in the eighth and two in the ninth. Tribe Strong at Finish Two St. Paul double plays held the Tribe away from the plate in the early rounds. In the first stanza Matthews doubled and Haney singled to open the game, but no runs resulted. But what the visitors failed to do early, they made up for in the closing rounds and handed Zahniser a sound thumping. Manager Allen rushed in his reserves, but their assistance was not strong enough to equal the results the Indians produced. McMillan, local second-sacker, was banished in the ninth for getting fussy with Umpire Guthrie.

He was to be in the Philadelphia lineup against the Washington Senators, who, after losing twelve straight games, hoped to wreak vengeance on the Athletics. Cobb, who at the age of 40, can practically dictate 'his salary terms, entered professional baseball at Augusta, Ga., April 26, 1904, getting a 4 homer and a two-bagger his firsts game. He was sold to Detroit in 1905 for a reported sum of S7OO. Since then he has established more records than any other man in baseball. He made his twentyone hundredth run April 26, got his four thousandth hit July 18 and \yent to bat for the eleven thousandth time last Saturday against his former teammates in Detroit.
