PLAYING /^FIEI^D With Billy Evans i MATTER of principle, I am I A I told, was all that kept Charley Ruffing of the Boston Red Sox from becoming a member of the New York Yankees early this spring and Owner Bob Quinn of Boston profiting to the extent of $50,000. Bob Quinn’s word in baseball is his bond. When he took over the
Boston Club he assured the fans of that city he would make every effort to get together a winner. He has made the effort, but the winner is still merely a cherished hope. In the old days, any time Harry Frazee, Red Sox owner, was short
Evans
on cash, he pedaled one of his stars to the Yanks. This spring, when Manager Miller Huggins was a bit doubtful as to his pitching, I understood an offer of $50,000 was made for Ruffing. No doubt Bobby Quinn could have used that amount, if the offer was a bonaflde one, but he turned it
&
down. Hfe had promised Boston a winner and Ruffing stood out as one Os his .'-(w best bets. Selling Ruffing, to Quinn, would have been doublecrossing the Boston fans. Baseball fans the country over are pulling for Bobby Quinn to land a winner at Boston. His sincerity and integrity deserved a better fate than taiiender. RUTH LIKES TO BET |-t ABE RUTH likes to make a K wager on anything. He’s a •U natural gambler, no matter what the game is. He plays a mean game of bridge, likes poker and at one time was • more interested in trying to beat the races than playing ball. “I finally discovered it was harder to pick the winner in a three-horse race than hit home runs off Walter Johnson’s best fast ball, so I gave it up,” exclaimed the Bambino. When playing golf it’s no fun to Babe unless there is something up on at least every hole, and he will lay you odds that he will outdrive you from every tee. Winning doesn’t mean as much to Babe as having something at stake to add a thrill to the play. His fellow players, knowing this, get many a cinch bet out of him. At present, one that he has with Wiley Moore is the chief topic of discussion among the Yankees. The bet concerns the ability of Wiley Moore as a batsman. His prowess as a pitcher has already been determined. There is no more valuable man on the Yankee staff.
Moore Wins Bet mN the spring it was apparent that Moore was going to be a far better pitcher than batter and the players had a lot of fun kidding him about his stance at the plate and the style of his swing. “I’ll surprise you birds with my hitting,” was Moore’s response. “GUess you fellows never heard about that home run I made last season.” Tbe home run stuff got a big guffaw in which Ruth was the cheer leader. “I don’t think you’ll make a hit all season up here,” said Ruth. “Well, if you will just make the odds right, Mr. Babe, I’ll shuah
make a small bet on my batting ability.” ' Ruth draws $70,000 a year while Moore’s salary is perhaps closer to the $3,000 mark. Ruth, who always gives the edge, remembered this when he made Moore one of the wildest bets on record. “Three hundred bucks of mine to fifteen of yours you don’t make three hits all season,” said the Babe. “You’re on,” replied Moore. At Detroit recently, Moore made his third hit and got ready to collect his dough.

Big Money Grand Circuit Event Feature at State Fair Track
Tunney Gets More Out of Camp Boxing Gene ‘Has Better Workers Than Jack—Wiggins Best of Lot. BY CLARK B. KELSEY, United Press Staff Correapondent CHICAGO, Sept, 7.—A cut over Gene Tunney’s eye and Jack Dempsey’s fear of becoming overtrained before their fight two weeks hence kept them from working with their sparring partners today. Dempsey planned to devote the day to golf, while Tunney was to go through the usual setting up exercises, bag punching and roadwork. So far it appears Tunney has received more for his money from his sparring mates than Dempsey has, because Tunney’s training opponents show more ability than the half dozen youths who engage with Jack. j Chuck Wiggans, Indianapolis heavyweight, who has been fighting for some thirteen years, nearly brought disaster to the Tunney camp when he brought his right across Tunney’s face Tuesday and cut the champion’s right eye. That was the cause of Tunney’s plan to omit the boxing today, but it was expected the cut soon would heal. The shifty Hoosier is by far the best sparring partner in either camp, and he mixed it freely with Gene for three rounds Tuesday, putting his right to the champion's body and his left to Tunney's head. The latter landed several telling blows on Wiggins' broad nose. Both fighters showed clever footwork. In both Tunney’s and Dempsey’s camps are fighters who have not shown often in the public workouts, but it was believed that Eddie Eagan, the Oxford amateur, may have been boxing in private with the title holder, while Dave Shade, one of the fastest middleweights in the business, may have been working with Dempsey in secret. Tunney spends much of his time roaming about the huge estate, which will be a golf course when completed. As le walks about, he clasps his fists tightly about “grips” —small steel slugs, which he uses to strengthen his hands.

Shoots Seven Under Par BY DICK MILLER
Dave Mitchell, f.rrner assistant golf pro at South Grove, as well as unofficial golf course record holder, shattered his own mark last Sunday, it became known today, and banged out a sensational 63 for eighteen holes. Mitchell previously had scored 66 on the par 70 course. With ,-his drives consistently at 300 yards or more, he took advantage of his long putting ability, and. shot birdies and eagles. Witnesses, Miss Althea Miller, Conn Sheridan, W. R. Smith and several persons in foursomes ahead and behind Mitchell, verify the. statement that all putts were played into the cup, and nothing was conceded. On the sixth hole Mitchell shot a 350-yard drive to the green. On the third hole he holed out an approach from off the green for an and holed a twelve-foot putt for a birdie 2 on the seventeenth hole. He was six under par on the first nine, and was one stroke over par on two holes on the second nine to finish one under par.

The fast Commercial League, an* other pioneer group, is again ready to take to the alleys, and reports indicate a close race for top honors.

a quick hitch in their belts and buckle down tc some big league baseball. Joe McCarthy's club, which was flying along out in front of the pack with an apparently substantial fivegame lead late in August, has skidded right back and Tuesday dropped with a thump into fourth place. Cut Terrific Pace The terrific pace cut out by the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates in the sudden upward rush of these two clubs found the Cubs entirely unprepared for a real battle. The Giants, for instance, have won 12 of their last 13 games and,27 of their last 34. McCarthy's club was reeling along on the strength of good pitching and a high spirit of team-play. The .pitchers—Charley Root and Hal Carlson—took a few on the chin, as even the best of pitchers will when overworked, and away flew the Cubs’ morale at the same moment. Cardinals Show Well The St. Louis Cardinals, crippled by injuries, have shown up better under the strain of this September finish-fight than have the Chicago team. The schedule still favors the world’s champions. Jess Haines. Flint Rhem and Grover Cleveland . Alexander apparently are fit for the ' pennant drive right down to closing day. Haines shut out the Cubs Monday, 2 to 0, and Alex allowed them a single run in beating them 13 to 1, on Tuesday. Hornsby Guides Giants A club which aspires to the heights and heat of a desperate finish and can take a 13 to 1 licking, contributing four errors to its own downfall, does not seem to belong in the kind of race that New York, Pittsburgh and St. Louis a. 2 going to make out of this National League affair. The /third factor which is responsible for the fact the Giants are in second place, one game behind the leaders, Instead of in fourth, where they seemed to belong a fortnight ago, is the playing and leadership of Rogers Hornsby. "! In the illness of John McGraw, who is in bed with erysipelas, “the Rajah” has taken command and succeeded better than the “master mind" himself. At the same time, Hornsby has played the best ball of the entire club.
Riot and Arrests Occur When Referee Calls Off Stribling-Deibel ‘Fight’
By United Press OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 7.—A crowd of 7,000 persons rioted Tuesday night* and demanded return of money they had paid to see “Young” Stribling of Georgia and Leo Deibel fight. Jimmy Drexel, the referee, declared the bout no contest in the sixth round. The bout was to have gone ten rounds. Drexel said Stribling wasn’t trying to fight and Deibel, a Kansas City pugiikt, didn’t know how. Asa result the fighters were to appear today before the State boxing commission. Jack Johnson, former heavyeight champion, who was “handling” Deibel, was to appear before a police magistrate because he attempted to interfere when police took the fighters into custody.

Action Scarce in 'Punch Bowl 9 Main Go Event The poorest main go bout staged at Ft. Harrison “punch bowl” this season was put on Tuesday night by Red Fitzsimmons and Chick Burns, both of San Antonio, Fitzsimmons appeared willing to make a fight of it, but Burns apparently was very much indisposed. Burns had the punching power and took trouble to connect every once in a while. On general points, Chuck had it by a shade. On principals, it was Fitzsimmons’ by a wide margin. At times it seemed the bout should have been stopped and Burns ordered to show some action. Other Times’ decisions: Shifty Dando, Columbus. Ohio, shaded Tony Ross. Pittsburgh, eight rounds. Billy Lone. Terre Haute, shaded Kid Nacho, Mexico, six rounds. Young Nasser. Terre Haute, shaded L°u ls Ensteln, Indianapolis, six rounds. Billy Moore won by technical knockout over Eddie Acton. Ft. Harrison, second round. What probably were the two best bouts of the evening, from the spectators’ point of view, were the Dando-Ross and Epstein-Nasser battles. Dando had a peculiar style and was on the go every second of the time. His eagerness to do some fighting made him a popular figure. Epstein and Nasser, two little fellows, put cn a real exhibition. Flying feet and flying arms kept the bout moving at top speed. McCullough New Coach at Shelby By 7 imes Special SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Sept. 7—H. T.
