PLAYING AFIELD
With Billy Evans —— mU ST tell us some of the things we do not know about baseball.” These were the instructions handed me by the toastmaster at a recent athletic banquet in the East at which I was one of the speakers. I had to smile as the master of ceremonies briefly outlined my
speech. In reply, I told him he had slipped me the toughest assignment possible, for if there is one game the American public feels that it knows, it is baseball. At every big league ball game a majority of those present are sure they could do a better job of
Evans
managing than the men paid princely salaries for so doing. They are ever ready to slip advice to the star players and are positive they know a lot more about umpiring than the men assigned to that rather unenviable task. Perhaps that is why baseball is so popular. One must be greatly interested in a sport to labor under the above hallucinations. EURING my travels over the American League circuit, I meet scores of rabid fans, men who are highly successful in their own particular lines of endeavor, yet feel they have many ideas that would better baseball if incorporated in the rules. Recently, while in Washington, Dr. Burdme, a learned man of medicine, in all seriousness told me he j believed the method of scoring in j baseball was all wrong. He is of: the opinion that a team should receive certain credits for men left; on bases. It is Dr. Burdine’s thought that,, if an inning should end with a run-! ner on third and one on first, that team should be credited with one j run; three-quarters of a run for! the man who was on third when the inning closed and one-fourth a! run for the man on first. He be-! lieves such a system would make for closer score games and more extra inning battles.
SHEN there is my very good friend, Major Cavanaugh, football coach at Fordham and one of the gridiron’s best. He has some unique ideas on baseball. I am of the opinion that he is usually simply “joshing” me with his contentions, but he”does it with a straight face. One of his favorite objections is to the rule that says no runs can score on a double play, in which the third out is a force or the batsman fails to reach first. He claims if there are runners on first and third, with one out, and the batsman hits to the shortstop, who forces the man at second, also getting the runner at first, the run shqyjd score if the man from third is over the plate before the third out is made. EECENTLY, while in Philadelphia, I had a most unusual interference play come up. In my twenty-five years of umpiring experience, I had never seen anything quite like it. Naturally the fans were puzzled and took decided exception to the ruling, not being familiar with just what had happened. That evening, in discussing the game with Frank Jacobs, who is a leading manufacturer of men’s clothing and who might have been a baseball magnate had he back in 1900 accepted an invitation by Connie Mack to purchase a half interest in the Athletics, he brought up an angle that I am sure will sooner or later be adopted by major league clubs. When I explained my ruling to him. he remarked: “It is unfortunate there isn’t some way of letting the fans in on such secrets. Had they known why you so ruled there would have been little or no protest. "I have already believed the score cards should carry a glossary of the unusual things that can happen on the ball field, such as out for interference or running out of line, leaving a base too soon on a fly ball, failure to touch a base, blocking the runner without the fielder having the ball in his possession and the like.” /

Cardinals Pursue Pirates in Pennant Fight as Giants Falter^
Verdicts on Big Battles Don’t Alter Jack’s Manager to Get 'Nowhere’; Other Dempsey Fights Recalled. BY HENRY L. FARRELL, • (United Fresi Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Sept. 27. Jack Dempsey's chances of having the Tunney decision changed by the Illinois boxing commission are about one to one hundred, because the commission hardly would dare to go against the precedent that the judgment of its officials must be backed. There have been several occasions where the New York commission has been asked to revise the decision of officials and refused to do it. There was a loud yell to have the decision of the referee reversed after he had ruled Jack Dempsey had not fouled Jack Sharkey and after another referee had insisted Dempsey did not violate the rules in his fight with Firpo. In this connection Dempsev hasn’t much room to complain. Os course, the tossing away of a million-dollar asset is not to be passed over lightly. Dempsey has had plenty of breaks—and in fact nearly all of the breaks—in nearly every one of his big fights. He had all the breaks in the Willard fight. He had the breaks in his fight with Tom Gibbons when he was permitted to get away with most He battered Bill Brennan down with rabbit punches and he violated several rules in t v e Firpo fight. In fairness to Dempsey, however, it must be said he is protesting now only under advice. Leo Flynn is leading the advance on the Illinois Commission and he is doing it partly to cover up the outsmarting he got from Billy Gibson and Jimmy Bronson of the Tunney camp. FAVORITES BEAT II n Ujiitcd Prefix NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Sand?! 4-year-old gelding of the B. B. stables, beat out the favorites in the eleventh running of the Woodmere claiming stakes at Aqueduct.

BY DICK MILLER What Potsy Clark, new Butler football coach, is doing with his grid candidates is quite important at this time. Some fifty-five players are out daily for the heavy drills. Os those fifty-five three are letter men from last year and fifteen junior and senior veterans. Eleven sophomores who won their numerals as outstanding yearling players are also out, likewise most of the freshman team of last year. The difference between Clark and most of the past coaches at Butler is marked in its vastness. Fiery, peppery and outspoken, the ~boss, Clark, has the gang on its toes. His first bit of advice to the squacTwas: “I’m new here. You all look alike to me. This is the time to make the 1927 team, not by presenting newspaper clippings of past performances.” New Style For All The team itself is a problem. All the veterans are playing anew style of football. Os course, they have had preliminary training by expert coaches, but of a different style. With only fair material to work with, and none too much weight among it, the season record of Butler appears to be a question of how much Potsy Clark football can be drilled into the team from week to week. / Asa nucleus, at center we find Walter Floyd, a big, strapping lad. with several years of high school as well as one year of varsity football behind. But Floyd will have to hustle. It is no secret that Clark likes the work of Bauermeister, former Technical High School ball passer. Another is Hamilton Clark, former Tech player. Butler cer-

Alex Steps Into Rescue Role in. Final Game and Rises to Pitching Heights.
Bl 'JJiil e dPrrss NEW YORK, Sept. 27—Fiction could have imagined no more drama than was furnished by several play ers in the 1926 world’s series b - tween the St. Louis Cardinals ant the New York Yankees. Heroes are to be expected in a contest where reputations and so much money are at stake and the series last year furnished a number. But foremost and above all was old Alex, Grover Cleveland Alexander, veteran pitcher of the Cardinals, who won two games and saved a third. Dramatic Moment It was his act as a savior that furnished as dramatic a moment as ever can be staged on any field of sport. St. Louis was leading three to two in the seventh inning of the final game. The Yankees were not doing much with Jess Haines, but he suddenly blew up and filled the bases. Hornsby and the infield gathered around him for a consultation after whichhe strolled to the bench.
Home Run Twins to Continue Act By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 27—Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, the home run twins, will continue to do their slugging act after the world series in a series of post--<\-son games between New York aud San Francisco. A tour, Including from twelve to fifteen exhibition games during October, has been approved by Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, and by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of baseball. Christy Walsh, manager of Babe Ruth, has telegraphed to San Francisco that Babe and Lou will be there Oct. 22. The last game of the tour will be played Oct. 31 or soorter, so that only a few of the fifty cities writing for dates can be accommodated.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
| Pittsburgh Clings to Lead of Two Games Over St. Louis. PHILS JOLT NfeW YORK Victories for Others Monday Are Tight Fits. Pittsburgh and St. Lcuis, the Pirates holding a two-game lead, today entered a contest for the National League pennant with each team scheduled to play only four games before the end of the season. The Giants were almost hopelessly out of the race because Philadelphia defeated them Monday. Only a miracle such as baseball has not yet witnessed can bring the faltering New York club through to the pennant at this late stage in the race. Three victories apiece in two days put the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals almost beyond reach of the Giants, who jolted their pennant chances by losing a ridiculously one-sided ball game to the tail-end Phillies Monday. Mathematically, the Giants still have a chance to win the race. Actually, they seem to have none. The Pirates were aided in defeating the Cubs by rain which stopped the game at the end of the sixth inning with the Corsairs in the lead, 1 to 0. Miljus held the Cubs to four hits and old Art/Nehf’s slow curves fooled tht Pirates in the pinches and kept them from scoring more than the one run. Another pitchers’ battle took place between ’ Jess Haines of the Cards and Adolfo Luque of the Reds. The game went twelve innings with the acore tied l-i. Then when | two were out in the thirteenth, ! Luque allowed a double, and ree singles which with an error, gave St. Louis two runs. The score was 3 to 1. Downfall of the Giants was occasioned by Ulrich who allowed only seven hits while the PhiUie batters got seventeen off Faulkner, Grimes and Plitt. The score was Philadelphia, 9; New York, 2. Including today, the Pirates have one game left to play with Chicago and three with Cincinnati. The Cards have two more with Cincin-' nati and two with Chicago. The Giants have three more with Philadelphia and two with Brooklyn.

Hornsby made several motions toward the bull pen while the crowd sat silent wondering what pitcher the young Cardinal manager would gamble with. Great Ovation Just as if it was a part of a day’s wor.:, old Alex came in view from the seclusion of the bull pen. With his funny cap resting on the top of his head, his shirt half out of his trousers and a fresh chew in his mouth he shuffled in to receive an ovation seldom given any athlete. Hornsby said a few words to him atid he tossed a few balls to Bob O’Farrell. He turned around then, hitched up his belt and carefully surveyed each base where he found a Yankee runner. Tony Lazzeri, a hitter of renown In a pinch, but hitting in his first real world’s series pinch, stepped to the plate and wiggled his bat nervously. Old Alex was giving him no mind. He. waved the outfielders over a little bit and then turned toward the batter. With a cool, careful look as If to imply—“ Who is that?’’ he gave Lazzeri the once over and then let go. “Lazzeri fans,” the news tickers gave the story of old Alex’s greatest triumph. He saved the game and the series and about $2,500 for himself and each of his teammates There were other spectacular performers, headed by Babe Ruth, who hit four home runs, three of them in the fourth game. He also distinguished himself in the field. - Tommy Thevenow, the young St Louis shortstop, distinguished himself by spectacular fielding, which saved one game, and by timely hitting. Jess Haines, although his exit was not auspicious, came into heavy type when he helped himself win the third game with a home run.

wing where he can tumble interference and smash plays in his characteristic manner. The reason for the change may be that Potsy has George Cecil, Harold Meeks, Jed Paul, Herman Geisert, Gordon Haggard, all veterans, also William Taylor, a sophomore, as end material. Shortage of Half Backs If there was ever a shortage of half backs Butler seems to have it. Only a couple of veterans, Harrison Collier, senior, who is one of the leading ball carriers, and Harold Meeker, a running mate, are on hand for half backs. It may be that Fromuth and Meeker will change positions. About four outstanding sophomores offer relief material. They are Caine of Cathedral, Collyer of Tech, Clarence Morris of Manual and Nulf of Ft. Wayne. Other players trying for back field berths are David Clark, Hosier, Leichty and Don Gearhart. Bob Nipper has a dozen real stars on his freshman squad of fifty. Hermon Phillips, track coach, is aiding Nipper in getting the boys away to a correct start. Pete Hinkle has the work of assisting Clark, especially with the ends and backs.
