PLAYING AFIELD With Billy Evans

BATTING offers the opportunity for more unusual situations than perhaps any other feature of baseball. In a previous article, I described how Roger Peckinpaugh, recently

appointed manager of the Cleveland Indians, received five bases on balls in one game. Getting five bases on balls in one game is decidely unusual, but the manner in which P eckinpaugh re g istered was even more so. Not once did he offer

at a single ball. He never once took his bat off his shoulder. Each time the count was three balls and two strikes before he finally walked. Possibly it would have been better had Peckinpaugh’s performance been heralded as a nonbatting feat. In keeping with Peck’s peculiar day at bat, that of reaching first base five successive times without being charged with a time at bat and making no effort to hit the ball, was a day which Wade Klllifer experienced back in 1910. In five consecutive trips to the plate, Killifer failed to reach first base in a single instance, wasn’t charged with a time at bat, yet in each case accomplished the thing he set out to do, move a runner or runners up. * * * The situations that come up in a ball game seldom call for the Ssamc player to sacrifice in his first five times at bat. Yet that is just what happened to Killifer. * * T MIGHT add that he stretched Jj his unusual performance over part of two games. As I recall it, f6ur sacrifices are the record for one game. Killifer merely tied this mark, because he was up only four times in the game and therefore really had no chance to break it. Washington and Detroit were the contending clubs. These two teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader on Aug. 27, 1910, at Washington. The first game was a pitchers’ battle and each of the four times Killifer came to the bat in ihe opening battle, proper baseball called for Washington to play for a run, making it Killifer’s duty to lay down a bunt. ana When the opposition knows the bunt is the play, because of the closeness of the score, the infield sets itself for such a procedure and it isn’t the easiest thing in the world for the batsman to deliver. ia a a JtTET, in this game, in which I II happened to be the umpire, wllifer, on four distinct occasions, P?aid down what is called in baseball a perfect bunt. While he was retired, he advanced the runner or .runners, the task delegated to him. It Unless my memory is in error, Sniffer was in second position in the Washington batting order. This is what is known as the sacrifice spot. Yet, over twenty-two years of umpiring, this is the only instance in over 3,500 games in which. I have seen the same player called upon to bunt on four successive trips to the plate and deliver each time in the most approved manner. a a a to cap the climax to the day, in the very first inof the second game, after man had reached first Hsafetv, proper baseball again Bd for Killifer to attempt his > bunt in a row.

Second Day of Play in Junior Meet One of Eight Seeded Stars Eliminated in Tuesday Match. B.V T'nifrd Press NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Seven seeded stars, led by Julius Seligson, the defending title holder, and Francis X. Shields, national junior outdoor champion, began their second day’s play in the national junior indoor tennis championship at the Seventh Armory today. One of the original eight seeded stars, Maurice X. No. 6, was eliminated by Sidney Snitkln of Amherst in the second round of the first day’s play Tuesday. The other seven seeded players galloped through their opening matches in easy style, particularly Seligson and Shields. Seeded No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, Seligson and Shields, are expected to carry through to the final round and meet for the title. It will not be the first time the two New York boys have faced each other across the net in a championship match. Shields defeated Seligson for the outdoor junior title last fall. Seligson was in rare form Tuesday, demonstrating it is going to be no easy task to keep him from winning the title for the third successive year and equaling Vicent Richards’ record of three wins. Twenty-one matches were scheduled to be played today.

Football, from a game once decided obviously upon the merits of the respective contestants, has come to be a game where a delicate decision may be left up to some perplexed official. Take the case of the difference between a fumble and a muff, for which the 1927 rules provide A muff by a quarter back receiving a punt occurs when the receiver never actually obtains possession of the ball. A fumble occurs when he first possesses and then drops it. Obviously this requires, on oc-

Bulldogs Respect Strong Attack of Ball Teachers’ Quintet. TO KEEP TAB ON FLASH Hinkle to Start Most Impressive Combination. Butler’s Bulldogs are expecting to encounter plenty of opposition from the Ball Teachers of Muncie at the Armory tonight. Paul Parker, coach at Muncie, has developed a well-balanced aggregation and Coach Paul Hinkle at Butler has worked his squad at a stiff pace for the contest. The invading Cardinals* attack usually is led by Fulmer, flashy forward, and the Hinklemen probably will tie onto the Muncie flash. Others on the visiting five who will be closely watched are Smith and Schooler. Coach Hinkle today said he probably would send his strongest starting aggregation against the Muncieites. Dana Chandler and Clarence Christopher will hold down the forward posts while Harold Holz will hold sway at the pivot position. Captain Archie Chadd will work as floor guard with Bill Bugg at back guard. Outstanding among the sophomores on the local squad and who are likely to see action are Marshall Christopher. “String” Allen, Hildebrand and Hargrove. The game tonight will start at 8 p. m.

Dempsey’s Comeback Attempt Feature of 1927 Ring Program; Only Three Champs Keep Titles

By NEA Service JACK DEMPSEY’S spectacular attempt at a comeback which resulted in a knockout of Jack Sharkey and a return match against Gene Tunney which drew $2,800,000 from 150,000 spectators in Chicago, was the big feature of 1927 in the professional boxing ring. Along with its big money record, 1927 probably will be recorded in boxing history as the year of the “Big Squawk.” When Dempsey won a sensationai victory over Sharkey the howl was raised by Sharkey and those who had bet on him that Dempsey felled him with a punch far below the belt. When Gene Tunney got up off the floor in the seventh round of the

Chicago fight and galloped away to an unquestionable decision over the former champion, a howl of equal volume was raised that Tunney had been given a count of at least fourteen. Regardless of the protests and the squawks, thfe record book will have it that Dempsey knocked

out Sharkey and that Tunney retained the heavyweight championship by winning a ten-round decision from Dempsey. Tunney with a fiat purse of a cool million dollars, was the big money winner of the year, but Dempsey with $450,000 as his end of the Tunney fight and $250,000 as his bit of the Sharkey fight, did not have a lean year. , Gene Tunney, Mickey Walker and

casions, hair-line decisions by the official responsible, and whatever is decided, players, spectators and occasionally other officials, are dissatisfied. The question of timing the huddle, the shift and unnecessary delay also troubles many of the football officials who gathered at the Hotel Astor today. Tom Thorp, Walter Eckersall, Dave Schultz and other well-known officials whose services are in demand for the leading games, were

my Baker, of Mitchell, for $25,000. The purchase of two prominent fighters, neither a champion, for such unprecedented sums within a a week, has given the boxing business an unusual stimulus. Baker, a welterweight who stopped Ace Hudkins of Nebraska, has for some time been regarded as Joe Dundee’s most dangerous challenger for the 147-pound title. With Hudkins and Dundee prevented from meeting for the present by a ban imposed by the boxing authorities in California, it is believed that the astute Kearns hopes to force a title fight for his new purchase some time this winter.

Fidel La Barba started the year as the flyweight champion, but the title became vacant when he retired to enter Stanford University. Izzy Schwartz is now the popularly acclaimed champion. Charley Rosenberg got into trouble with the New York boxing commission for signing two sets of contracts for a fight with Bushy Graham and was suspended for a year. He had grown out of the class, however. and was ready to enter the featherweight division. Bud Taylor, who also is having trouble with the weight and with fragile hands, is the outstanding claimant for the title. The featherweight championship became vacant when Kid Kaplan resigned to enter the liglitweight class. He was knocked out in his first attempt by Billy Wallace. Benny Bass is generally recognized now as the champion. Pete Latzo lost the welterweight

Northwestern is going to attempt to “get back” at Notre Dame Thursday night at Evanston when the two clubs meet, in their second clash of the season. The Irish were in fine fettle in the initial contest at South Bend and tied all sorts of cans to the Wildcats. Russell Walters, former Kokomo age, and now the high-scoring hero for the Purple, was stopped rather handily by the N. D. netmen, and his teammates were unable to

perform to any degree of greatness with their star center and basket-getter being trailed around by an Irish court performer and cornered every time he placed his mitts on the ball. The Irish appear to have the same flashy type of aggregation which represented the South Bend institution last season, and as long as the victories keep coming in with almost monotonous regularity, Irish supporters will keep singing the ‘“Notre Dame Victory March!” an n r T'HE basketball enthusiasts at Shortridgc High School (there's plenty of them) are a trifle excited this week as the contest with Technical draws near.

Roy’s margain of victory was not too decisive for the further the fight progressed the more aggressive and more energetic did the Toledo pug become. Roy piled up a long lead in the early rounds and when Packo started stepping around, the lead dwindled slowly.
