SWITH BILLY EVANS*

IS THE playing manager a more effective leader than the bench pilot, or vice versa? Taking the records of 1927 as a basis for comparison, the odds would be 3-1 in favor of the bench performers if you consider the eight clubs that finished in the money in the two major leagues.

In the American League the New York Yankees, managed by Miller Huggins, who didn’t even leave the bench for the coaching lines, won about as they pleased from the rest of the field. In the National League, the Pittsburgh Pirates,

chaperoned by one Owen Bush, who confined his activities to the coaching lines as far as actual participation in the game wen#, finished in front after a gruelling campaign. The world series provided a struggle between a retiring leader who literally stuck to the bench throughout the season, Huggins, and a fiery, peppery pilot, Bush, who started chattering in the first inning and never once quit, no matter how badly his club was trailing.

The outcome of the world series, which was won by the Yankees in four straight games, was a signal triumph for the nontalkative manager as typified by Huggins. However, that doesn’t always hold good. a a tt OF THE four clubs that finished inside the money in the American League, these being New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and Washington, only one, the fourth place club, was held by a playing manager. Stanley Harris being in charge at Washington. The first four in the National League, at the close of the season were Pittsburgh, St. Louis, New York and Chicago. Os these, the only team to have a playing leader was the St. Louis Cardinals, presided over by Catcher Bob O’Farrell, who since the close of the season has been demoted in favor of Bill McKechnie, a bench boss. Baseball runs in cycles relative to various angles of the game, and the present era appears to be one in which the bench pilots are greatly j in the majority. n a This year there is only one sureenough playing manager in the American League, Stanley Harris. Two other clubs, Chicago and Cleveland, are led by veteran stars, Ray Schalk and Roger Peckinpaugh, who do not appear regularly in the lineup. The situation in favor of the bench pilots is even more pronounced in the National League. There are no playing managers in the National.

The University of Notre Dame baseball team was to meet the Butler University diamond pastimers at Washington Park this afternoon. Thirteen members of the Irish baseball team, under Coach Tommy Mills, arrived in Indianapolis late Friday night and were reported to be in fine shape for the struggle. Mills planned to send Ed Walsh, Jr., son of the White Sox coach, against the Bulldogs, while Coach “Willie” McGill of the locals had Oral Hildebrad, star right-hander, groomed to dish up plain and fancy oilierings to the Irish. Walsh and Hildebrand are rated as two of the best college pitchers in the Middle West and a mound duel of no mean proportions was expected to be part of the after- ! noon’s festivities. The proceeds of this afternoon’s | game are to go to the American Olympic fund.

Lake Wawasee Sport Program By Times Special WAWASEE, Ind., April 28.—Many sport activities at Lake Wawasee are to be scheduled for this summer, according to a conference between Leonard Hicks of Chicago, managing director of the Wawasee Hotel, with other hotel owners, cottagers and representatives of the Lake Wawesee Protective Association. The sport program, as announced by Hicks, chairman of the Lake Wawasee sports committee, will consist of aquatic events such as swimming, motor boat races, sail boat events and contests for fishermen.

FILES ANOTHER SUIT Kearns Sues Dempsey for §500,000 in State Supreme Court. By United, Press NEW YORK, April 28.—Jack Kearns has filed suit for $500,000 against Jack Dempsey in the State Supreme Court.

Dempsey’s lawyers said they did not believe the suit would go to trial.

Culver (Ind.) Country Club course, which lake tourists declare a great test of golf ability. Ft. Wayne Golf and Country Club has been the residence of Chester Nelson for several years They swear by Chester’s ability up there. Wally Nelson is conductor of Indiana’s greatest indoor course, a nine hole links at 319% E. New York St. Several nets afford opportunity for driving practice in the winter. Chick, the sixth member of the family, was at Riverside municipal course last season. The last word heard of him a few weeks ago he was headed toward Detroit to join the professional staff of a country club there. FVON’T be surprised if you see some of the municipal links’ customers cornering Vic Winterrowd and talking to him with vigor and apparently for a purpose. “Vic,” we might tell you, does considerable

golf playing with John Milnor, president of the city park board. When the opening ceremonies were called off the past few week-ends, it did not apply to Milnor. He went out and played with his old partner, Winterowd, anyway. It is not unusual to see them on the fairways, rain or shine, hot or cold. They en-

joy their matches. “Vic” of course has a fine chance to talk to Milnor. Grievances the players hold toward conditions at the city courses no doubt will be sent to the board via the Winterrowd route, providing, of course, “Vic” chooses to help brothers in distress.

Tony Plansky Holds Slight Edge as Competition Starts. PADDOCK IN FEATURE Star Sprinter in 75-Yard Dash. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Prw Staff Cor respondent FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 28.—Flying runners swinging around an oval path, stalwart athletes scaling bars and leaping into distance—S tr o n g-limbed youngsters propelling spears through the air.

That was Franklin Field today as rhe thirty-fourth annual University of Pennsylvania relay cornival approached its climatic end. Interest was centered in the threecornered duel between Tony Plansky, former Georgetown football and track star, Kenneth Doherty, College of the City of Detroit, and Thomas Churchill, University of Oklahoma, for the Olympic decathlon honors. Plansky held a slight lead over his two rivals as the decathlon competitors began the last half of the allaround test. The five events remaining on the decathlon program which were to decide the winner were the 110-meters hurdles, discus, javelin, pole vault and 1,500-meters run. Plansky’s total was 3778.7105, Doherty’s 3762.501, and Churchill’s 3611.235. Fifteen others remained in the competition, but none of them were regarded as having a chance to win. j Charley Paddock, called "the fastest human,” was to make his first competitive appearance in the East this year in the special 175-yard run against three Pennsylvania undergraduates.

Folwell Scull, University of Pennsylvania, football and „print star, was expected to give Paddock his strongest competition and many ardent admirers of the Red and Blue j flash openly predicted victory for! him. In the field events records were j endangered in the pole vault and', shot put. Sabin Carr, sky-scaling i son of Yale, and VCictor Pickard, I Uuniversity of Pittsburgh star, were ! entered in the pole vault. Canscaled 14 feet 1 inch, breaking all existing records, during the last indoor season. Leaders in Pyle Race Lose Time a By United Press EASY ST. LOUIS, 111., April 28.

The thre regular clubs that will take the drives are the Marion County Construction. D. Harlan, captain: Smooth Top Range. L. Honnald, captain, and Silver Flash, A. McDaniel, captain.

representative phoned, for he has a bout in Davenport, next Thursday night. “Sure, I’ll meet that hill billy,” Wiggins replied. “And tell Captain Clark I’ll do some stepping to give the Armory fans real action.” Byrne, the bushy haired mountaineer, is an aggressive fighter who bores in constantly. He has battled Wiggins before and always has forced the beefy Hoosier to extend himself. The usual four other scraps wlil follow the tefiround main go Monday.

The following year the Duesenberg victory was repeated when Peter DePaolo, nephew of Ralph DePalma, came romping across the finish wire at the end of 500 miles at an average of 101.13 miles an hour, a record which still stands.

15 Hits Give Indians Fast Road Start Tribe Ruins Home Opener for Millers; Yde Hurls in Style. By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, April 28.—Bruno Betzel’s Indians, with Dixie Leverett dut to pitch, were to tie into the Millers in the second tilt of the series today following the Miller home opening Friday which the Tribe “ruint” for the locals by pasting Kelley’s crew 9 to 3. Emil Yde went the entire route in the Hoosier box and allowed only six hits. The Betzelites launched a strong attack and pounded out fifteen hits, one being a homer by Anderson and two were doubles by Russell. Fred Haney poked out three singles and Walter Holke the same number. In fact every Indian got one or more hits. Five Miller Pitchers Brillheart started on the Miller mound and was knocked out. Rube Benton followed and Liska came in after the Rube had enough. Brent was the next Minneapolis pitcher and he was banished by Umpire Powell for disputing decisions. Leo Moon finished. Manager Kelley also used a couple of pich hitters and as a result seventeen players were listed in the Miller box score. The home fans were disgusted with the showing of the Kels and tossed cushions on the field in the last inning and caused action to be held up five minutes. Emil Yde was in a happy mood Friday night for the day's contest was the first in two seasons that he had started and finished. He was in several ijamee with Pittsburgh last season, but did not pitch a complete fray and Friday was the first time he lasted the route for the Indians. Miller boosters staged a parade downtown before the game and players of both clubs participated. Weather Friday was better than the Hoosiers enjoyed at home. Anderson's homer In the fifth started the Indians on the war path. Andy poled the sphere over the left-field fence with Wars tier and Russell on base. Haney was a star at bat. In the field and on base. He got thre hits, accepted six chances and stole two bases. Manager Betzel accepted ten chances at second. The Indians played errorless ball while the Millers mlscued three times. The Tribe filled the sacks with only one out In the second inning, but failed to score In that round. Yde fanned and W'arstler forced a runner.
