PLAYING the FIELD With Billy Evans

THE toughest decision I ever made came early in my career as a big league umpire. more exact, it happened irt the very first inning of the second world series game in which I ever officiated. That was the 1909 clash between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Detroit Tigers. Pittsburgh had taken the first

game of the 1 series and was anxious to assume a commanding lead by winning the second battle. A crowd of 32,000 was on hand, a record - breaking gathering for the world series up to that time. Forbes field in Pittsburgh was taxed to capacity.

HFKs

Temporary stands had been erected along the right field foul line from just back of first base to the stands that extended from center field to the right field foul line. It was agreed that a ball striking fair, then bounding into the stands located on foul territory, should go for two bases. This was to guard against fluke home runs. a a a It also was agreed that a ball bounding into the stands in fair territory, those that skirted the outfield from right to left, should go as a home run. a a a GREAT FIRST INNING T NEVER shall forget the first inning of that second game. I was the umpire-in-chief, calling balls and strikes. Bill Donovan, ace of the Detroit staff, w r as doing the pitching. The Tigers confidently expected to even up the series with “Wild Bill” pitching. Bobby Byrne, the first man to face Donovan, walked on four straight balls. Tommy Leach doubled to right on the hit and run, scoring Byrne. It looks like a rout for “Wild Bill” and the Tigers. Fred Clarke moved Leach to third on a sacrifice, bunting to Donovan. This brought the great Honus Wagner, batting hero of the Pirates, to the plate. He disappointed by striking out. The next batter was “Dot” Miller. He hit a long drive down the right field foul line that looked for a time as if it might clear the fence. The ball struck just inside the foul line in deep right, then bounded from view. Leach scored on the hit and Miller also made the circuit. -The fans went wild, believing it was a home run.' ana I was in doubt as to what decision to make. I knew the ball had struck fair just before it disappeared from view, tut I had no definite idea as to whether it went into two-base territory or was a sure enough home run.

HAD FOOL INSPIRATION I CONFERRED with Bill Klem, who was working the bases, but the ball had disappeared so quickly he was much in doubt as I was as to the correct ruling. Fred Clarke, then manager of Pittsburgh, insisted it was a home run, while Hughey Jennings, pilot of the Tigers, argued long and loud for a two-base hit. I wanted to do justice to both clubs, but was up in the air for a ruling, when I was seized with what at the time seemed a fool inspiration. I rushed into deep right field to where the ball had struck fair and to open th eargument said to the fans Seated in that sector: ‘Was the ball fair or foulP” There was none but Pittsburgh rooters in that section, it having been reserved for the Rooters’ Club of the Pirates. In an instant hundreds of voices were shouting: “Fair ball by at least a foot.” a a a It vj* then up to me to learn where the ball landed. None of ."he rahs knew that a ground rule had been agreed upon. a a a LEFT IT TO FANS “XTTELL, if it was fair, where did W it finally land?” I asked, “It bounded into this stand,” yelled a dozen fans in the two-base section. “Yes, ,and I have the ball and I am going to keep it,” said one of the spectators as he held the ball up to view. “Looks as if it was only a twobase hit, gentlemen,” I said to Managers Clarke and Jennings and they both agreed. Miller was sent back to second instead of being allowed a home run. The Pirates, after having scored two runs in the opening session, were stopped the rest of the game. Donovan was invincible after the first inning and Detroit won, 7-2. Not only was it the toughest decision I ever made, but it was the cause of four umpires being used in world series games ever afterwards. terrTsTFnjures hands Sid’s Mitts in Poor Shape After Bout With McGraw.

Roy in Trim for Contest WithPacko Local Boxer Works Hard for Tuesday Scrap at Armory. The old training table featured Roy Wallaces observance of Christmas day, at least from a gasti-onomic standpoint, for Roy willingly passed up the turkey and trimmings Sunday and spent a good part of the day in the gym getting himself ready for his tussle with Joe Packo at the Armory Tuesday night. Wallace worked out Sunday in a way to inspire the utmost confidence of his followers. His hands are in the best of shape and Roy proved them to be so by submitting them to the most severe tests during the afternoon, lunging into the heavy sandbag and boxing a half dozen rounds with sparmates. Packo, who has been working opt in Toledo for the last week, is due in Indianapolis today. Armory contracts calling for the arrival in this city of main-event fighters the day before the match.

The work of Sexton and Carr at the guard posts also has made a hit with the Irish mentor. ,

Grover Hartley

The first step announced by General Manager Evans to strengthen the Cleveland Indians was the acquisition of Grover Hartley, veteran catcher with the Red Sox last season. Evans thinks Hartley, wise in the ways of pitchers and batters, will be a good one to get his pitching staff in shape. Hartley caught for Indianapolis in 1926 and was drafted by Boston.

Battle of Three Millions’— N. D.-U. v S. C. Tilt Among Highlights.

INCREASED INTEREST Many Placed on SuperHonor Role. BY HENRY L. FARRELL NEA Service Writer Registered by competitive records, interest displayed by the public and prosperity attending promotion, the sports year 1927 was another one of those "biggest and best” years that have come in succession since the war days. Rickard’s dream of a million dollar gate came true, and so true he cleared almost a half million for himself. Marking the progress of the times came the first meeting between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney in Philadelphia in 1926 which introduced a “two million dollar gate” and led to the prediction that the peak had been reached. But there remained a step forward to attain—a “three million dollar fight”—and Rickard just missed it when he put Tunney and Dempsey in the ring again in Chicago and drew $2,800,000 from 150,000 spectators, the largest crowd that ever had seen a moxing match. The astounding success of Rickard’s greatest show was typical, in a comparative way, of the increased interest shown by the public in other sports. Drew 117,000 Fans Notre Dame and Southern California played a football game in the Chicago stadium and drew 117,000 spectators. There perhaps would have been as many customers-as there were for the fight, if it had been possible to seat spectators all over the field. it is impossible to compute or estimate how many spectators saw all the big and little football games scattered all over the country, but it is safe to assume that more than one million fans spent Saturday afternoons watching the college teams in action. \ The world's series between the New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates fell far short of records for attendance and receipts, but it was due not to any lack of interest but to the fact the Yankees won in four straight games. The two major leagues enjoyed a prosperous season and it was reported that the Chicago Cubs, for one, cleared more than a million dollars on the season. The runaway race that the Yankees made of the American League season might have hurt attendance if it had not been for the home-run duel between Babe Ruth-and his young teammate, Lou Gehrig. Super-Honor Role Every department of sports and athletics had heroes and outstanding stars, but there were several who distinguished themselves so that they might be placet! on a superhonor role. Among then, were: Bobby Jones, who became recognized as the world’s greatest golfer with 66’s at Minneapolis, St. Andrews and in the Southern open, and with victories in the British open and the American amateur championships. Babe Ruth, who broke his homerun record by hitting sixty. Helen Wills, who won the British and American tennis championships. Lou Gehrig, Yankee first baseman, who in his third season, and Paul Waner, Pittsburgh outfielder, in his second season, won the major league most valuable player awards. Tommy Hitchcock, who distinguished himself as the world’s greatest polo forward in helping the American team beat England for the international cup. Columbia Upsets Dope The Columbia crew, which upset all calculations by winning the intercollegiate rowing championship from Washington at Poughkeepsie. Sabin Carr, the Yale star, who made anew world’s record of fourteen feet for the pole vault. Johnny Weismueller and Martha Norelius, who made almost fifty new world’s swimming records. The New York Yankees, who made anew American League record by winning 110 games during the season and equalled the record by winning the world's series from the Pittsburgh Pirates in four straight games. Charley Borah, Southern California sprinter, who ran, 100 yards in 9.5 seconds and 220 yards in 20.9. There were countless others worthy of mention in various other lines of sport, but these athletes were the ranking ones for places on the honor roll.

f )ff the BACKBOARD

Indianapolis will get its initial taste of real basketball excitement this coming Saturday when Technical and Shortridge tangle at the Armory. It is not necessary for Backboard to attempt to tell how frantic and excitable followers of city fives become when their respective teams line up for a clash with a local rival. To add to the confusion many complimentary adjectives already have been flung at the Shortridge and Tech

teams. Technical's record is by far the more imposing but there is where the matter rests. This correspondent had a good look at the North Siders in their opening tilt of the season and is at a loss to explain why a crew of sixfooters with speed and basket-get-ting ability and without a trace of awkwardness should be placed as under dogs. Shortridge is powerful and if it should perform with any degree of its early potentialities Technical wouldn't stand a chance. Remember, however, the biblical tale of how David slew Goliath and refrain from leaping to conclusions. a a a Scoring punch? Martinsville, 60; Shelbyville, 23. And that should settle that! a a a BUTLER will open its home season at the Armory Wednesday night against Muncie Normal and the young man pictured here prob-

Two Feature Grid Games on Coast Today; East Favored to Beat West Annual Christmas Charity Battles Attract Interest; Sodden Field for South-Pacific Coast Clash.

Bet United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 26. Odds on favorites for the third consecutive year, a picked team of Eastern football stars lined up today against a strong squad from Western schools in the annual Christmas game for charity. The game brought back into the line-up familier names of the .season w’hich ended a month ago. The Western team was augmented by four stars from Texas, and despite the odds against it, was expected to provide a close battle. Some predicted another upset of the dope —for though the Easterners have been favorites in both the previous East-West games, the Westerners have won both times. In 1925 it was a pass by “Brick” Muller that won for the West, and in 1926 a late drive down the field again won for the coast team.
