PLAYING the FIELD

-With Billy Evans-

mHE tremendous popularity golf has attained during the past ten years is the cause* of this question being put to me time and again during the summer months, when the national pastime is at its height: “How much has golf hurt baseball?” There are two answers to that question. The first deals with any

effect golf may have had on the attendance figures in recent years. The other relates to the influence for good or bad that golf has had on the playing talent which determines the brand of baseball offered. I do not believe golf has had any particular bearing

Evans

on the attendance. Give the fans a race such as the National League has on tap or let them know the Yankees, with Ruth and Gehrig going neck-and-neck in the home run derby, are the attraction, and you pack ’em in. As In any other sport, the attendance is largely measured by the attiaction offered. Fans wili flock to the park to see the slugging Yanks in action, whereas the taikend Boston Red Sox seldom are bothered by ground rules. a RUE, baseball has lost some fans who for years followed the game because they find golf a sport that offers not only a chance to be out in the open but a little exercise in addition. I would say that for every fan lost to baseball because of golf, two have come to take the place of the deserter who has become inoculated with the golf germ. Our parks of today, in most instances, are twice as big as they were ten years ago. Yet any time a worth-while attraction is offered or the race for the pennant is a hot one; the standing-room-only sign usually Is out early. I On the other hand, only a limited few thousand can watch a golf match in comfort and have the slightest idea what it all is ■ Y ——— * Therefore, I would say, the influence of golf on baseball as far as the crowds are concerned is entirely negative. At least, as yet, I do not believe golf has asserted itself as a detriment to the financial end of baseball. OOWEVER, I do believe golf already has had a very definite influence on the mediocre standard of baseball now prevalent in the majors. I am not one of those old-timers who insist the modern game doesn’t compare to twenty years ago. Still I am positive that on the whole it isn’t nearly as good. Golf statisticians tell me that there are in the United States more than 400.000 caddies during the summer months. These caddies are drawn from the ranks of the boys who used to spend their spare time becoming proficient in the art of baseball. Any youngster fond of baseball as a kid usually carries through life his love for the game. However, take away close to a half million boys from playing baseball each summer and it is natural to assume many a future Cobb or Johnson is lost, because golf has a stronger A good caddy can earn anywhere from $2 to $5 per flay, depending to a certain extent on the liberality of the player for whom he is caddying. There you have another lure sandlot baseball lacks, compensation for effort.

Quartet of National League Contenders Remain Closely Bunched

Indians Fail to Profit in Double Bill Hens Annex Sunday Tilts, Second in Ten Innings —Warstler Hurt. Hii/Times Special TOLEDO, Sept. 12.—The belated winning streak of Bruno Betzel’s Indians reached six in a row when they beat the Hens in the series opener Saturday, 7 to 5, but on Sunday the Hoosiers about faced and dropped* a double-header. Toledo grabbed the Sabbath first tilt, 8 to 3, and the second in ten innings, 2 to 1. The Hens jumped back into the A. A. pennant fight by annexing the twin bill and are in fair position to create a disturbance if Brewers and Blues slump. First Easy for Hens Schemanske and Boone were pounded hard in the Sunday oppner, seventeen hits being made by the locals. It was a soft assignment for old Joe Bush, who hurled for the Hens.

In the wind-up Sunday the fans were treated to a wonderful pitching battle between Schupp and Barnes, the former allowing six hits and the latter five. Toledo put over the winning marker in the ninth, when Cote tripled, held third on Marriott’s out and scored on Lebourveau’s swat to center. Miller got three of the Indians’ five bingles off Barnes and Matthews and Haney got the other two hits. Three of the Hens* six blows off Schupp were for extra baSes, Scott and Meusel getting doubles and Cote a triple. Barnes Stops Russell Reb Russell, topping the league in hitting, got a single and home run in the Sunday opener, but wjent liitless against Barnes in four attempts. Harold Warstler, young Indian shortstop, was injured painfully in the first game after accepting nine chances without a miscue. A hard hit grounder by Scott took a false hop and struck Warstler in the face. It is feared the youngster received a broken nose. He was forced to give up action for the day and Miller went to second and Connolly moved to shortstop. The teams were to meet in the fourth scrap of the series this afternoon.

1927 Football Captains

By .YEa* Service , , ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 12.—Not a single game of football had Ed Crowley played until he entered Georgia Tech in the fall of 1924. Crowley, however, is a natural athlete, says Coach A. Alexander,

I. U. Plunger in Shape for Grind By Times Snrrinl . _ . BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 12. W- R. Stephenson, well-known Indiana University track and football star, is In shape for a tough schedule of games this season. After finishing “the cinder campaign last June, Stephenson immediately went to work in Gary as a common laborer. He played fullback last year and should be of great help to Pat Page’s backfield. Stephenson is a booter of the pigskin of no small note. Pat will have plenty of use with him against Minnesota, Notre Dame, Michigan State and Purdue on the home schedule.

Enter Final Three Weeks of Play With Winner in Doubt. PIRATES LEADING PACK Babe Gets 50th—American League Gossip. The four National League teams contending for the pennant today entered the last three weeks of the season closely bunched and with any one of the quartet likely to nab the bunting and enter the world series to battle the New York Yankees. The Chicago Cubs Sunday scored their second victory over the New York Giants in as many days and sent the Gothamites into a tie with St. Louis. The Cardinals scored a victory over Brooklyn. Pittsburgh was idle and as a result of the Bruins’ triumph, the standing found the four clubs separated by the rather slender margin of two and one-half games.

Cardinal rookie, stopped the Dodgers completely. They got but four hits and were shut, out, 5 to 0. Virgil Barnes went to pieces cop> pletely in the sixth inning and before the Cubs could be stopped they had scored six runs. The Giants tried desperately to overcome the j lead in the ninth, but could only score two. The only run made by . the Cubs until the sixth was a i homer by Hack Wilson, his twenty- ; sixth, which tied him with Williams 1 of Philadelphia. The score was 7 to 5. Cincinnati scored at ;nlll in two games with Boston, winning 8-4 and 16-5. Pete Donohue and Jake • May did the pitching for the Reds. The Reds pounded McQuillan and ; Rudolph unmercifully in the second [ game, staging five run rallies in the first and eighth innings.

In the American

Just as the Yankees were ready to write in the books a record of having made a clean sweep of a full season’s series of twenty-two games with a rival team, the Browns turned in their wrath and beat the American League leaders, 6 to 2. Not even Babe Ruth with his fiftieth home run of the season could prevent the Browns from throwing off the yoke of oppression. Beaten in twenty-one straight games by the Yankees, the Browns unleashed all of their guns on Herb Pennock, one of the leading pitchers of the league, in the fourth inning. They made four runs in that frame, to break a 1-1 deadlock, and there was no stopping them after that, with Milton Gaston, a former Yankee, breezing along in brilliant fashion. After twirling shut-out ball until the eighth inning, Red Faber, veteran White Sox pitcher, allowed the Senators one run. He let the first two men in the ninth get on base before he was removed, and the rally wasn’t stopped until Washington had tied the score, 5 and 5. The Senators scored the winning run in the twelfth.

At the Recreation alleys the Recreation League starts its season’s grind night. The Evangelical Brotherhood League will be the attraction at the Illinois Recreation alleys. “Eddie” striebeck, the popular captain of the Silver Flash team, surely has got away with a flying start, having .secured 615 on Wednesday night’J play at Pritchett’s Recreation and 625 Friday night in the Capitol No. 1 League.

Plenty of Irish Atmosphere in That Wild National Race

A battle of the “Fighting Irish.” That's what the National League race has simmered down to as far as the managers are concerned. For several years they have been telling us that the Irish race was dying out among the big league ball players. That may be true as to the players, but it doesn't hold good for the managers.

Stormy Jubilee in Danville as Pennant Is Won By Times Svccial DANVILLE, 111., Sept. 11.—This city was the scene of wild celebration Sunday night as baseball fans cut loose with unabated fury.

Last Effort to Stop Big Scrap Fails Clements’ Petition for Injunction Against Demp - sey Denied by Court. By United Press CHICAGO. Sept. 12.—Judge Otto Kemer today refused to grant B. E. Clements, president of the Coliseum Club of Chicago, an injunction which would have blocked the Dempsey-Tunney heavyweight championship boxing match scheduled for Sept. 22. Clements sought to force Dempsey to fulfill an alleged contract to fight Harry Wills before meeting any other opponent. Judge Kemer overruled the petition for an injunction on the ground the bill of complaint was defective. The Coliseum Club had no license to conduct boxing in Illinois, he said, adding that no permit to conduct a Wills-Dempsey bout had been applied for. Portions of the contract had been violated, he pointed out. No advance payment had been made to Wills, he said. The Negro fighter had met two opponents—Jack Sharkey and Paolino Uzcudun—which was contrary to the provisions of the Coliseum Club contract, the decision said. Judge Kerner added that there was serious doubt as to whether Wills was able to or cared to carry out the agreement now, and held the feasibility of conducting the Wills-Dempsey bout necessarily entered into the case.
