PLAYING the FIELD With Billy Evans SHE retirement of Ban Johnson from baseball marks the passing of the man who more than any other person has placed baseball on its present high plane. The deeds and the work of President Johnson will be far more ap,-
preciated twenty years from now than they are today. Like all great men, Mr. Johnson had the courage *of his convictions, a very definite opinion on all things and a willingness to express it, regardless of whose toes he stepped

on. Being human, he made mistakes. At times he might have been more tactful; but that wasn’t the way of B. B. Johnson. He didn’t believe In handling drastic situations with kid gloves. He passes from the game still boasting a legion of friends and admirers who appreciate what he has done for it. Likewise he has made enemies. Men with the courage of their convictions always do. After serving twenty-two years under President Johnson, as a member of his staff of umpires, I want to go on record as saying I always have found him a square shooter. * * * GAVE SSOO EXTRA URING those .twenty-two years I have had my arguments with President Johnson, often because I thought my contract called for less money than I expected. Yet, in the end, I always found him manifestly fair. I recall one season I argued over a matter of SSOO expense money. At the close of the previous season, in a chat I had with Mr. Johnson, I took it for granted I was to get such an additional amount. In the spring my contract didn’t call for it. I stood pat on the situation. Mr. Johnson finally admitted that he had recollections of the discussion and gave me the extra money I had been promised. “I guess all the members of the staff would welcome an extra SSOO, so I will make the increase general,” was the way he dismissed the dispute.
Since he gave me an additional amount for expense, in fairness to the rest of the staff, he added it to their salary also. This, too, after all of them had signed for the season. • * • EARLY DAYS TOUGH HEN I joined the American the staff of umpires Bisisted of only five men: Tommy Connolly. ■loughlin, Tim Hurst and WFji the year an umpire would HKiohnson to double Tim Hurst, was the poorest fit physically, Vth the members of the staff. going was pretty tough for Lhe umpires in those days. At many r of the parks there was a long bar that dispensed hard liquor and beer. Vendors peddled half pints of whisky through the crowd then as pop is sold now, for the small sum of two bits. 1 Mob scenes were almost daily occurrences, wild riots frequently were staged. President Johnson, with a firm hand, soon brought order out of chaos, made life worth living for the umpire, the game more enjoyable for the spectator and the profits greater for the magnate. A strict disciplinarian, there was no dodging an order Johnson issued or a penalty that he imposed. His word was final in all things pertaining to the American League. Yet he always was 'fair. * * * LATE TRAIN m RECALL one year, it was the season of 1908 I believe, I was ordered to take a certain train from Detroit to St. Louis. I had a social engagement that I couldn’t fulfill if I took the early train. I decided to take a chance on one leaving at midnight. The train I took, if it arrived on time, got into St. Louis at 2:30 p. m., while the game that day started at 3:15. Os course the train was late. By donning my umpire clothes on the train and jumping into a taxi, I managed to arrive at the park about three minutes before starting time. Even though I got the game away exactly on time, word got to President Johnson of my late arrival. He wired me, asking what train I had taken, and when I replied the midnight choo-choo, it cost me SSO in a fine for disobeying orders. I worked about 130 games alone that year for a comparatively small salary and didn’t like the idea of losing the money. Jack Sheridan, dean of the staff, said he would have Mr. Johnson returit it. He didn’t. However, at Christmas time he sent me a check for S3OO. In thanking him, I told him he could fine me SSO any old time, provided I got S3OO in return. That, however, was the last time I failed to take transportation on the train arranged for me.

Rival Stars in Today’s Big Ten Tilt at Madison. A real thriller was promised when Purdue met Wisconsin at Mad'son this afternoon, despite the fact that both teams have suffered defeats in Big Ten circles. Asa matter of fact, that is one of the reasons for feeling the game would produce plenty of action. The vanquishing of Wisconsin by Michigan made no hit with Glenn Thistlethwaite .former Northwestern coach, now in his first year at the Madison institution of learning. Likewisefi Coach Jimmy Phelan of Purdue was anything but elated over Purdue’s defeat by Chicago, since his eleven had trounced Harvard the previous week, 19-0.

‘Vindication’ Swim Fails; Water Cold Mercedes Gleitz Makes Game Attempt to Conquer English Channel. Bn United Pres* CAPE-GRIZ, France, Oct. 22. Miss Mercedes Gleitz, London stenographer, failed Friday in her “vindication” attempt to swim the English channel, but she pfoved her courage in what experts said was an impossible effort. Miss Gleitz entered the channel here at 4:20 a. m. Friday with the water temperature 56 degrees and carried on gamely until 3 p. m., when she was eight miles east southeast of Dover, her objective. Miss Gleitz swam the channel, on her eighth attempt, only a few weeks ago. She was being congratulated still when Dr. Dorothy Logan claimed to have broken Gertrude Ederle’s record, and then confessed she had made most of her trip in a launch. “I am going to vindicate the honesty of British women swimmers,” Miss Gleitz announced. “I yvill either swim the channel again how, on the first good day, or show people at least that I am game enough to make a good try. She spent over ten and a half hours in bitterly cold, rough water, under the eyes of 50 or so observers, including official witnesses, only to be forced to give up.
debts allegedly contracted during a two-year mutual agreement with Frank L. Moore, Newport, Ky., betting commissioner. Depositions filed in the case quote Moore as saying Hornsby frequently placed bets as high as SI,OOO daily during the pennant season of 1926 and that after their mutual luck failed, Moore was forced to borrow $130,000 to pay off his and Hornsby’s debts. The ball player’s position in the case is that Moore’s claims are inadmissable in law as they are gambling in nature. According to Moore, he first met Hornsby between innings during a game at Cincinnati in 1925, when Hornsby asked “got any tips” Moore said he did have some tips and that Hornsby immediately profited thereby. Transactions between the two, Moore said, were carried on frequently by long distance telephone. For the purpose, he said, Hornsby installed three telephones in his apartment here. A call from Newport, Moore said, would result in Hornsby or his wife supplying Moore with prevailing St. Louis odds, and placing of bets by Moore, or vice versa. When Luck failed, Moore said, he and Hornsby sought to raise money from the wife of a Cardinal ball player, and from a stockholder in the ball club. Both refused, he said. Hornsby then offered to give Moore half of his stock in the Cardinal club, according to Moore.

Rivalry Tilts Within State, De Pauw Vs. Butler, N. D. at I. U. PURDUE AT WISCONSIN Wabash in ‘Far East,’ Meeting Colgate Crew. v Hoosier college football followers were treated to plenty of action today. Eight contests were played involving State elevens, four of the games of some major importance and four between secondary squads. The Notre Dame-Indiana clash at Bloomington attracted by far the most pre-game gossip. The Irish, almost at full fighting strength, invaded the stronghold of Pat Page’s proteges determined to take the measure of the Crimson. Indiana followers saw a gleam of hope, however, for a repetition of last Saturday’s affair with Minnesota in which the Crimson upset the dope. On Local Grid Butler and De Pauw clashed at Irwin Field here in another of the important events of the afternoon. Many “bear” stories came from the Tiger camp this week and the Bulldogs were expecting to see the full Methodist lien-up take the field. Purdue met Wisconsin at Madison in one of the featured Big Ten Conference frays of the day. The Boilermakers were anxious to put themselves back on a higher perch after bowing to Chicago last week-end. The Lafayette crew took the field minus the services of Hutton, star wingman. Wilcox, however, was expected back in the game. Little Giants in East Wabash tangled with Colgate at" Hamilton, N. Y., in one of the big intersectional mix-ups of the day. It was the longest \rip made by a Little Giant eleven since the Army was played at West Point in 1921. Indiana State Normal and Franklin met at Franklin. Several hundred high schoolers in Franklin for the I. H. S. press convention attended the game as guests of Ed Duggan, Baptist coach. Earlham and Hanover staged a little fracas at Mauison, Ind.

City Bowling Gossip BY LEFTY LEE
Recognized as the greatest bowler the game has ever produced. Jimmy Smith has for some years past toured the country giving instruction and rolling exhibition games with home town stars. For the benefit of young bowlers who have heard of his great scoring ability, we will review some of the in his career. Jimmy has rolled sixteen perfect games of 300. He holds world's tournament record of total pins for three games, having scores of 279. 236 and 256 for a total of 771 pins, an average ox’ 257. These games were rolled in Toronto, Canada, in 1911. Smith has been all-events champion of the A. B. C. on two different occasions, St. Louis 1911 and Peoria 1920. Only one other bowler ever has been able to tie this record. Smith rolled 794 for three exhibition games at Melrose Park Chicago, 1924. During the season of ’26-'27 Smith rolled 1,525 games for a grand average of 207. These records and scores no doubt help to swell the audience wherever Jimmy appears, but the real reason for his great popularity is his fine personality and eagerness to instruct the young bowler the correct way to bowl. Jimmy will appear here this afternoon and tonight at the Century alleys, meeting local men and women selected by competition.

Fans Over Nation Size Up Service Teams; Army Faces Test at Yale Estimate of Navy’s Power Was Obtained Last Week; Uncle Sam’s Grid Warriors Popular Everywhere.
BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—T0 many thousands of football fans the progress of the Service elevens, leading up to the smashing climax of the Army-Navy game, is the most interesting phase of the early part of the season. Not all of us have an alma mater whose football teams we can cheer, but every American can, and usually does, take sides in the annual gridiron engagement of the Army and the Navy. Navy Found Wanting In the third game of its schedule this season, “Navy Bill” Ingram’s Annapolis eleven was tried and found wanting. Army hopes of November victory arose when Notre Dame crushed the Navy, 19 to 6. “Biff” Jones’ West Pointers have not had their test yet. This was to occur today against Yale at New Haven. *Last year a whirlwind Army team blew through Yale bowl and left a badly flattened Bulldog in its wake.

year, and it was a vastly different Yale team which tested the Army this afternoon. Tad Jones, after years of endeavor, appear* to have found or to have developed one Blue eleven which can hang onto the ball and play through a game without destroying all its chances of victory by ridiculous errors. “Errors cost us the Georgia game,” said Tad Jones Friday. “But there were none in the Brown game, and there won’t be any against the Army.” Which means that the Army will roll up no 33-to-0 score this week, but will be tested in the fire of a real football game, and a line obtained upon the Cadets’ chances against the Navy.
