INTENT NOT CONSIDERED On an interference play does the umpire at any time give consideration as to whether or not such interference was accidental? INTERFERENCE plays are the bane of an umpire’s life. Such plays are often a matter of judgment unless the interference was so plain that there was no doubt about it. While an umpire might often wish that he could temper common sens i

with the strict wording of the rule, it is impossible for him to give any consideration to whether or not the interference was accidental. The fielder always has the right of way. It is up to the baserunner to avoid him. In some

Evans

cases contact between fielder and baserunner may be more the fault of the fielder, but that fact can not be taken into consideration. If there is interference, whether intentional or accidental, the runner must be called out. If umpires gave thought to whether the interference was accidental or intentional, they constantly would be in hot water. The baserunner would have a perfect alibi in that he didn’t try to interfere v ith the fielder, that the happening was purley accidental. Incidentally when it was apparent to him that he might pull something and get away with it on the accidental theory, he would never overlook the opportunity. While in certain cases it may seem that the penalty on the baserunner is rather severe, yet to give consideration to the possibility of the interference being accidental would make the life of the umpire a much tougher one. Hew closely to the rule on an interference play is the advice I invariably give and follow.

lead this morning. • The hustling Tribesmen, winning seven battles in cheir last eight starts, pulled up from sixth place to third—and right on the heels of Blues and Brewers. Stengel Has Bad Day It was a slugfest at the ball yard Tuesday, with the Indians finishing in front, 12 to 8, making it four in a row over Toledo, 1927 A. A. champions. -The rooters had a great time kidding Casey Stengel, fiery boss of the Hens, as he rushed about shouting to his cohorts to check the losing streak. The Hens won twelve straight contests before they bumped into the Tribe, and then got hooked for four defeats at Washington Park. Three Hen Homers If Stengel ever saw “red” it was Tuesday for his club pounded three home runs, one coming with two men on base, yet larked on the short side of the score. 3runo Belzel’s pastimers were on their toes and they combed out seventeen hits, six for extra bases, and forced the Hens to use four pitchers. The first two Hen batters to face Dixie Leverett, Tribe starting hurler, hit for the circuit, Gaffney’s homer going over the left field fence and Rawlings’ homer speeding to the flag pole. But Dixie tightened and the score was in the Tribe’s favor in the third stanza when he dropped out for Emil Yde, pinch hitter, who helped with a single in the Tribe’s six-run rally. H. Mueller Connects Swetonic took up the Indians' mound burden and got slammed for five runs in the fourth, Heinie Mueller lifting the ball over into the railroad yards with two mates aboard. But Swetonic pitched like a major leaguer after that fourth and blacked the Hens the remainder of theTracas. In the meantime the Indians grabbed a run in their fourth and added three more in the sixth. The fans got a big laugh and Casey Stengel kicked up the earth in the fourth when Fred Haney stole second and then sneaked to third while the Hens held a confab: And Layne’s single scored him. Warstler in Great Play The Indians completed three double plays and Toledo one. The most exciting twin killing occurred in the fourth. Messner was on first with none out when Huntzinger grounded to Holke, who stepped on first and then threw to second to head off Messner. The ball struck Messner as he made a dive for the bag, but Warstler picked it out of the air as it bounced off the runner and tagged Messner as the Hen player was doing a headspin reaching for the sack. It was great work on Warstler’s part to complete that double out. Betzel Delivers Manager Betzel slugged out two doubles that drove in three runs, Matthews a triple, and other Tribe doubles were socked by Haney. Warstler and Betzel. Warstler made a beautiful play in the third inning when he fielded O’Neil’s bid for a hit in deep short and got the runner at first by a wonderful throw. The bases were filled at the time, two men out and the count three and two when O’Neil connected, and at least two Hens would have scored if O’Neil had beat the throw. The one Tribe error was excusable and could have been called a hit. It was on Jacobson’s long swat to deep left center In the ninth that Layne tried for, but failed to hold. He was too close to the fence for a fair trial at the ball. The fans are perking up over the winning ways of the Indians and if the home athletes can dispose of the Colonels in the series starting today everything will be lovely. Today’s twin bill was billed to start at 2 o’clock daylight saving time.

Chicago Track Team to Oppose Indiana Thinly Clads on Thursday Windy City Athletes Led by Star Dash and Distance Runners; Baseballers Meet Notre Dame.

By Timea .Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May 30. Led by Root and Gleanson, dashmen, and Williams and Gist, distance runners, Chicago’s track team will furnish opposition for Indiana University’s squad in the final dual meet of the season held here Thursday afternoon. Coach Hayes scheduled this postconference meet so rthe purpose of keeping the Indiana team in shape for the national inter-collegiate meet, to be held at Soldiers Field, Chicago, June 8-9. Chicago has one of the strongest dual cinder teams in the Conference, Root and Gleanson both placed in the 100 and 200-yard dashes in the Conference indoor meet, and have been doing equally well outdoors. An injury has hindered Gleanson part of the season. Root also ranks high in the broad jump, averaging about 22 feet. ' Gist, oce of the outstanding halfmilers in the Conference, will meet strong competition in Dildine and Stephenson of Indiana. Williams, who placed first in the 1927 Conference indoor meet, will also enter the half mile. Williams defeated Fields in the mile race in the indoor meet this year. They will meet again Thursday in this event. Jackson is outstanding in the two-mile run, but will meet strong competition in Little, Fields and Brattain.

breaker boy from the coal country, and Latzo will be in there winging away, trying to put over the season’s most important fistic upset. Tommy is too fast for Pete, however, and it will be strange indeed if he does not outpoint the challenger with ease. Loughran already lias made arrangements to defend his title half a dozen times this summer, without taking into consideration the possibility of a defeat. Latzo is slow of foot and arm, a ploddin gslugger and fairly good infighter who is far from spectacular to watch. It is difficult to see how he can hope to catch the elusive', lightning-like Loughran. After Tommy has defeated Latzo he will consult with the boxing commission Friday as to what to do next. Fugazy has a contract calling for for the champion to meet Leo Lornski at Ebbets field June 13. Rickard has been given permission by the commission to match Loughran and Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo at Yankee stadium June 14. The impression exists that Slattery is likely to prove the most dangerous of Loughran’s prospective opponents. Tommy has pretty well solved the attack of Leo Lomski. He has taken the hardest wallops of the Aberdeen Assassin on the chin, and has come back to whip Leo by an appreciable margin. Lomski should be softer for the titleholder next time. Jimmy Slattery gave Loughran a great fight in Madison Square Garden last winter, matching the champion’s speed afoot and holding his own in the matter of boxing skill. A return match should be well worth watching. The champion, meanwhile, is a 3 to 1 favorite to get past Pete Latzo tonight.

Whitney’s Victorian, winner of the Preakness, is a top-heavy favorite to win the SBO,OOO Belmont Stakes June 9, as a result of the inability of Harry F. Sinclair’s Nassak and Mrs. John D.

Teams previously entered were Marquette, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Grinnell, Wilmington College of Ohio, Armour Tech, Loyola University of Chicago and Carroll College of Wakesha, Wis. The meet is held twice a year, indoors and outdoors, for the benefit of midwestern track athletes now banned from the Western Conference meet by a ruling of the Big Ten Conference which permits only athletes from that circuit to com- ■ pete in their programs. Butler on Top in Close Fray < Bt/ Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., May 30. Hildebrand of Butler gave up only three hits to De Pauw here Tuesday and the Bulldogs annexed the last game of the local college baseball season. The score was 2 to 1. Pfersick was on the mound for the Tigers and turned in a good article of ball, an error helping one of Butler’s two runs score. It was a tight and interesting contest all the way.

Hagen Tired, His Boss Says

Bn United Press LONDON, May 30.—Walter Hagen played too much golf on the continent and therefore was not in good form to enter the Irish open golf tournament, his manager, Robert Harlow, tol£ the United Press today in answer to criticism of “the Haig’s” withdrawal from the tournamnet. “Hagen overdid himself on the continental tour,” Harlow said. "He played a match in Dublin, Saturday, after which he decided not to compete in the open. He sent the committee the proceeds of his Dublin match for Irish charity.” The Daily Telegraph today characterized Hagen’s withdrawal from the Irish open as a “broken pledge to the Irishmen.” MUST MEET FRANCIS Bushey Graham Not to Be Recognized as Champ in New York. Bn United Press NEW YORK. May 30.—Bushey Graham of Utica, N. Y., will not be recognized as world’s bantamweight champion by the New York State Athletic commission until he has met and defeated Kid Francis of Italy. The National Boxing Association agreed to recognize the winner of the Graham-Schwartz bout last week as 118-pound champion.

Each has his or her designated club handicap. Addition of the handicap to the regular course pat gives a total of strokes that can exhaust before the flag is planted. The player’s name is attached to the flag staff. Os course the player that plants his flag the farthest from the initial starting tee is declared the winner. tt tt a Many players often are able to caver the first eighteen holes and start onythe second round before all the allotted strokes are used up.
