Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 13.—“D0 you know what?” inquired the office statistician as large globular statistics popped out all over him and fell to the floor. It so happened I did not know what and this brought to the long, angular face of the office statistician a look of great pleasure. Next to proving by his own care-

fully contrived formula that you are wrong, the office statistician’s chief delight is in suspicion that you are ignorant. It developed that the what I didn’t know was that there had been more new players introduced in the opening day lineups of the sixteen major league clubs

this year than ever before in history—and nobody had made any mention of it. Fancy that! tt tt tt With a triumphant gesture the office statistician implied that but for his infinite zeal and intense interest in the more vital phases of civilization this astonishing phenomenon might have gone on unnoticed, uncharted and unexplained. tt tt tt WELL, anyway the opening day line-ups in I the American League showed that exactly 50 per cent of the players who had taken part in the opening day games a year before were numbered among the missing. Os the seven-ty-two players who struck heroic postures for the news reels in the starting games thirty-six were newcomers, or at least wearing new and different livery. Numerically the changes ranged from one by the Yankees, who were compelled to use Durocher because of Lazzeri’s illness, to seven by the White Sox, a team with so many strangers on Mr. Comiskey was forced to add a hostess to the club so everybody would get to know everybody else. The starting line-ups in the National League were shuffled around with practically the same degree of fury and ruthlessnes. Os the seventy-two starting players thirtyfour were new ones. tt a tt The Pirates were low with only two shifts. The Dodgers were high with six new starters. Your Uncle Robbie’s team looked no more like the crew he had last spring than Mr. Coolidge resembles Ben Turpin, with or without make-up. tt tt tt THE fact that sixteen lineups could be changed from one year to another to an extent involving seventy players indicates that the stability of baseball as a profession is slightly more treacherous than that of night-watching or working on mule cars. The boys sure do shift around. One wonders how all the hero worship stuff is kept alive in view of the possibility that the bright particular star who sends the customers home gibbering in a strange incoherent tongue one week may be wearing an enemy uniform the next. The answer probably is that the customers don’t care who they worship as long as it is somebody. When Roger Hornsby was traded to Boston last winter for what appeared at the time to be a bag of table salt and a peck of onions a large part of the dltizenry banded together, organized a protest league, adopted awesome sounding resolutions and announced that from that time on they were through as patrons of the Polo Grounds. As I remember the circumstances a gentleman by the name of Solomon headed the organization, launched the threatened taboo and wrote letters to the newspapers about it. Evidently the taboo has not been a complete success. More than 25,000 fans sat through chilling weather to see the opening game with the Braves, and more than double this number saw the Sunday game with the Phillies. tt a tt Whether Mr. Solomon was among the spectators I have no way of knowing. I can imagine however, that the gentleman must find himself in a tough spot these days, what with him feeling the way he does about Charles A. Stoneham and young Andy Cohen, one of his very own, out there deporting himself in the manner of an Eddie Collins.

Early Season Collapse of Detroit Tigers May Lead to Shakeup

Nineteen Errors in First Seven Games Disastrous to Bengals. FOTHERGILL BENCHED Moriarty Intent on Knocking Off Rough Spots. BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. April 18.—Nineteen errors in the first seven games. The figures tell tire story of the collapse of the Detroit Tigers, one of the most promising ball clubs in the American League at the start of the season. A shake-up which will put in the shade the corrective measures undertaken by a number of other major league managers this year is promised by George. Moriarty, fighting, “hard-boiled” manager of the Tigers. Hitting Was Weak Already “Fat” Fothergill, veteran outfielder, and one-time batting king, has been benched by Moriarty, but “Fat’s” offense was weak hitting rather than poor fielding. Other regulars are due to follow Fothergill to the bench as fast as their manager can arrange replacements. Nineteen errors in seven games! A high school ball team would be discredited by a record such as that. It undoubtedly constitutes a record for major league baseball. And a majority of the bobbles were costly and directly connected with opponents’ runs. Still Are Good Before the season opened, the Tigers were rated one of the strongest clubs in the league, an aggregation bound to make trouble and certain to finish in the first division, upon the heels of the leaders. The Tigers still are one of the best clubs in the junior circuit, and they probably will finish fourth, but it will be some time before they get over the nightmare of their performances during the first week of the season. Atrocious Fielding The Tigers have not been noticeably weak at bat, but have tossed away what opportunities they attained on the attack by atrocious fielding. Paul Easterling, who took Fothergill’s place in the outfield, did some hefty sticking against Cleveland Tuesday, and Jack Tavener smacked out a home run, scoring the rookie from Seattle ahead of him, but four costly errors deprived the Tigers of the lead and the ball game. If it were not for the fact that the Athletics, owing to the weather and other difficulties, have not been able to win a single ball game this season, the Tigers would be so far in the cellar that even the Red Sox could look down upon them as from a great height. George Moriarty is the fighting type of manager and promises to take the Tiger by the scruff of the neck and shake it until its stripes look like the black squares in a cross-word puzzle.

Third of A A Group Lifts Baseball Lid International’s Hopes Glow as 168-Game Schedule Gets Under Way. By United Press NEW YORK, April 18.—The 1928 pennant race was to' open in the International League today with prospects for the most successful season in history. The league belongs* to the Class AA group, the other members being the American Association and Pacific Coast circuit. President John Toole predicted one of the closest races in years and as many as six teams have high hopes of finishing in front a,t the end of the 168-game schedule. The opening day schedule was: Toronto at Newark. Rochester at Jersey City. Montreal at Reading:. Buffalo at Baltimore. Minus the services of their manJohnson, the Newark Bears were to entertain the strong Toronto club. A1 Maumax was to hurl for Newark and Jess Doyle for Toronto. George Mcßride will manage Newark until Johnson has recovered from his illness. Montreal was to make its re-entry into the league against the improved Reading team. Bob Shawkey, who was with the New York Yankees last season, was to pitch the opening game for Montreal.

OMAHA, Neb., April 18.—The sixth annual convention of the Izaak Walton League is expected to uncover some of the world’s greatest fish liars. A contest has been arranged, open to the world, to discover the best fish stories. Roy Swanson and Charles Kellar of the Nebraska chapter have come forward with the story of the catfish they landed in the Mississippi a short time ago, which caused the stream to drop five inches. “It’s nonsense for the Government to spend huge sums of money on flood prevention work,” Kellar said. “All that is needed is to turn Roy and me loose and take off the catch limit in the lower Mississippi. We’ll keep the water safely within the levees.”

he enjoyed success as a teacher and he is, not losing any of that reputation 1 since taking up duties at the municipal course. Russell shoots a lot of high-powered golf himself, and goes over the hard Coffin course in the low seventies regularly. Patrons who enjoy a hard course will find considerable enjoyment in playing Riverside and Coffin courses. Fee at these, two links and at Pleasant Run will be 50 cents a round, or sls for a season ticket. South Grove will be 25 cents a round and $lO for a season ticket. a u a A drive is on by several private golf clubs for new members. Little doubt should exist in the minds of those players who have been wielding the mashie for a couple of seasons, whether or not they like the game. If they do, nothing should appeal to them more, than the opportunity to join a private club. We are not drumming for any particular club. Investigation will reveal the price for entry fees not so high, when one realizes that it is not z mere golf proposition any more. The clubs now have year-around activities. a a GOLF clubs and balls have been on the price decline for some time. That means the citizen of average salary finds it possible to become a golfer. Green fees at municipal courses are reasonable. The veteran city links players now find themselves confronted with a perplexing problem. Long waits on Saturday and Sunday mar their games. A privatfe club seems to be the answer. For every one who leaves a municipal course, we will wager that two new players will take his place. It’s a great sport.

Peterson, trying to overcome the defect, put Hall at the 18.2 game, where soft shooting was necessary. The improvement was tremendous and Hall quickly won some minor amateur three-rail titles and moved up into the professional class. In two years he has become one of Hoppe's greatest rivals.

Detroit Pug Knocked Out by Williams Peterson Stopped in Fourth; Mueller, Kane in Next Week’s Feature. A stiff right jolt to the chin in the fourth round ended the mainevent of the Legion fistic show at the Armory, Tuesday night. Billy Peterson of Detroit was on the receiving end of the jolt and Bobby Williams of New York was on the heaving side. It was a good bout—what there was of it. Williams won the opening canto and Peterson had a shade in the second. The third round was fairly even and Williams then ended matters in the fourth when the k. o. punch landed on Billy’s jaw. Just where the two semi-windup scrappers were discovered is a mystery. Where they learned to fight is more of a mystery. Johnny Sherrod of Chicago and Eddie McGooty of St. Paul stumbled through to the limit with the honors, if it may referred to as such, going to Sherrod. It was merely an eight round encounter between two “hams.” A nice flurry in the last round won a shade for Billy Meyers of Cincinnati over Ray Van Hook of Terre Haute. It was a good sixround slugging match. Bud Taylor, Terre Haute, world's bantamweight champion, was introduced from tha ring and was in Van Hook’s corner. Pat Harris of Cincinnati shaded Billy Cain of St. Louis in six rounds. Harris’ aggressivness was the telling factor. Otto Atterson of Terre Haute lost on a foul in the fourth round to Harry Kreindler of Cincinnati. Freddie Mueller of Buffalo and Jack Kane of Chicago are scheduled to meet in the main event next week. RACE BUILDING FUN D §3,000,000 to Be Spent on Improvements and New Track.
