PLAYING the FIE L D With Billy Evans SY COBB probably has played his last game in the major leagues. I see he has made an unofficial announcement to that effect. Waivers have been asked on him by Connie Mack. It is in keeping with what he said to me late in September. Working back of the plate at Philadelphia in a game between Cleveland and the Ath-

ietics, a recurrence of an old knee injury caused me to retire early from the game. I was taken to the quarters of the Philadelphia trainer in the [clubhouse for [treatment. [ A few innings 'later Ty quit the game to catch an early train for the

Evans

West in order to make connections at Chicago for a hunting trip he had planned in Wyoming. Coming into the trainer’s first aid station, he shook hands with me and remarked: “I think today’s game was the finish of my big league career. I have had a good season and, if I’m smart, now is the time for me to quit.” * * * r—-|OTH of us then enjoyed a D laugh over a retort I always , would hand Ty when the two ot us had some slight difference of opinion. It’s the same old chatter umpires always spill to stars during the heat of a dispute. Often, when Ty would question my judgment or eyesight, I would laconically reply that possibly all he said was true, but that I expected to be doing business at the same old stand when he was all washed up. “Looks as if you would outlast me and make good on that sarcasm you used to slip me as well as the other boys about being up in the big show after the rest of us had taken our final shower,” said Ty. * * * mT is a rather interesting coincidence that Cobb and I broke into the American League at practically the same time. He played a few months in the fall of 1905; I made my debut in the spring of 1906. It so happens that Ty Cobb, at the close of the 1927 season, was the only player still in the majors who was a member of the American League when I started. Cobb has seen hundreds of players come and go in his twenty-three, years. Yet his last season was one* of his best. He finished in the first five batters, but was slow afield.

day night when the Dundee-Ace Hudkins welterweight championship bout was called off. Failure of Promoter Dick Donald to produce Dundee’s' $60,000 guarantee for the defense of his title, which led the champion to decline to enter the ring, was the cause of the debacle. Scores Injured Scores were injured in the riot that followed. Excited and frantic fans, attempting to gain the ringside, upset chairs. Dozen of minor fights broke out with the major battles centering in the lighted ring as police forces were assembled. In the midst of this excitement, Tom Kennedy, former heavyweight contender and now a motion picture comedian, announced in behalf of Hudkins that he claimed the world’s welterweight title. The storm that followed this announcement led to police riot calls and eyery available officer in the city was rushed to Wrigley Field. Hundreds clambered into the ring where a battle royal between officers and spectators was started. Chairs were thrown, people knocked down and policemen wielded their nightsticks with vigor. Ring Collapses; Women Faint One side of the ring gave way and a score of meji were thrown into the press row. Typewriters, telegraph instruments and cameras were damaged. Women fainted. Whisky bottles were hurled into the ring. Three policemen were removed from the field for emergency treatment. An official announcement at 11:30 p. m., more than an hour after the fight was to start, temporarily quieted the crowd. Frank Kerwin, speaking for Dick Donald, said Donald had failed to produce Dundee's guarantee, that the fighter had refused to perform and that the California athletic commission had ruled the bout “no contest.” Bonfire of Chairs The crowd left the field and passed through the exits, only to break into renewed disorder. Thousands carried wooden chairs out of the park and an immense bonfire was started. Fire departments and the police reserves arrived in time to find a mob of several thousand attempting to storm the box office at the field. They were dispersed only by the use of nightsticks and water. When the crowd apparently had ' settled down, another riot call was sounded. A group of more than 100 was discovered outside the hotel where Joe Dundee was quartered. After it was dispersed four officers were detailed to stand guard at the entrance. The State athletic commission took charge of all the money taken in at the gate. COOLER BEATS NOONAN State Cue Tourney Match Is Won by One-Sided Count.

Hagen and Espinosa in One Bracket; Turnesa and Golden Meet. WALTER IS BIG FAVORITE Final Match in Pro Event Saturday. Bu United Press DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 4.—With one of the greatest of golfers, Walter Hagen, favored to win the title, four nationally known linksmen teed off in the semi-finals of the National Professional Golfers’ Association annual tournament this morning. Play was for thirty-six holes. Besides Hagen, the three survivors were A1 Espinosa, who met Hagen, and Joe Turnesa and Johnny Golden, who fought it out in the other semi-final match. Hagen, defending champion, defeated Tommy Armour, Washington, National Open champion, in what was considered the feature match of the tournament. The match ended on the thirty-third hole with Walter four up, Thursday. Turnesa entered the semi-finals by what was considered an upset. He defeated Gene Sarazen, one of the best of the money players. Sarazen experienced unusually hard luck. Turnesa won Thursday’s match three up at the thirty-fourth. The most thrilling of the quarterfinals was Espinosa’s victory over Morte Dutra. The former won on the thirty-sixth green. Previously Dutra had picked up seven holes in a row to threaten Espinosa's lead. Golden, Paterson, N. J., went into the semi-finals by turning back Francis Gallett, Milwaukee, Wis., four and two. Should Hagen win, it will be the fifth time he has held the P. G. A. title, SHORT DRILL FOR TIGERS Bu United Press PRINCETON, N.

Phil Makes Yankee Bow in Short Go Scott. English Heavy Champion, Meets Hansen in Ten-Rounder. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Phil Scott, British heavyweight champion, makes his American debut tonight against Knute Hansen, the none too durable Dane. If Phil can get past Hansen the road leads straight to big time and big money. Tex Rickard has waited long for the return of a good British heavyweight, missing since the days of Charley Mitchell. The British boxer, who looks a bit like Carpentier, except that he is larger in every way, and a bit like Bombardier Wells, except that his jaw is firmer, should outpoint Hansen in their ten-round bout in Madison Square Garden without much trouble. The Dane is a magnificent figure of a fighting man, clever boxer and a hard hitter, but it is reputed, however, that his heart is not in his work. Knute Hansen was selected a* Scott’s first opponent after some of the boys realized that in matching the Britisher with Paolino Uzcudun they stood an excellent chance of losing at least one foreign heavy* weight from the field of contenders for Gene Tunney’s title. Paolino obligingly sprained his back, and something decidedly softer—namely Hansen—was put up for Phil to pop at. ST. PHILIP NET OPENER Local Basketball Quintet to Plaf First Game Tonight.
