THREE APPEAL PLAYS In plays where a baserunner fails to touch a base, where a runner leaves his base too soon on a fi.y ball that is caught, or where a player bats improperly, what should be the attitude of the umpire? tt tt tt |N baseball the three situations I cited are known as appeal plays, riven if the umpire is aware of the mistake, he must overlook same un-

less the team in the field makes the proper play and requests a ruling on the matter. It is not unusual for players to fail to touch the bases in their proper order, leave a base too soon on a caught fly and bat out of order. In all probability they get away with it more often than they

r.re discovered and penalized. The position of the umpire in a ball game is merely the judge oT plays. He is there to give decisions, not to make plays. When a player fails “to touch a base, leaves a base too soon or bats nut of order, it is up to the team i"i the field to observe such slips. It calls for alert, heads-up baseball Tf # the team is playing such baseball, it will profit |?y having the runner 11 batsman declared out for failing to observe the rules of the game. If the umpire made rulings on Eush plays it would remove the r emium that goes to the alert team r " individual, would place the slow thinker apd poor observer, on the ;.?.me plane with the smart player At various times it has been suggested that the umpire be authorised *to act on such plays without ; ppeal, but it never got very far. It would be an unwise move, as it would destroy initiative on the part o' the player and make more trouble for the umpire, who already has plenty.

Triumphs Over English Girl in Straight Sets, 6-1, 6-2. EXPERTS LAUD YANKEE Rate Californian Greatest of Women Stars. By United Press ROLAND GARROS STADIUM, PARIS, June 4.—Miss Helen Wills of California won the women’s singles tennis championship of France today, defeating Miss Eileen Bennett Os England in straight sets. 6-1, 6-2. Miss Wills thus became the champion of the three leading tennis countries, the United States, Great Britain and France. Not even the great Suzanne Lenglen was able to do that. Miss Wills clearly showed the wide margin of her superiority over all ether women players. She allowed Miss Bennett, best of the English women, only three games in two ..gets. , The overwhelming power of the California girl’s shots and the excellenoe of her court tactics gave Miss Bennett no chance. It took Miss Wills only a few games to gauge Miss Bennett’s game and to determine her own method of attack. Rene La Coste and other French stars who have observed Helen in action at Paris now declare her better than their own Suzanne Lenglen. Christabel Hardie, English girl who was Miss Wills’ victim in the semi-finals Sunday, was completely overwhelmed by the fury of the American champion’s attack. Miss Wills kept Miss Hardie constantly on the run, and had to make not more than three or four defensive shots during the match, which was concluded in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1. Until Sunday, Miss Wills had been keeping her best game, under cover, pointing for the finals. Helen has increased her own court covering capacity by at least 50 per cent since she last played in Paris two years ago. The point score of today’s match: (First set) Miss Wills 544 434 4—28 Miss Bennett 321 152 2—16 (Second set) Miss Wills 417 664 34—35 Miss Bennett 045 441 51—25

Nick Allen and His Chesty Saints Arrive for Series With Tribesmen Betzelites Drop Two of Three Over Week-End to Millers; Comorosky and Brame on Hand. BY EDDIE ASH

Boisterous Nick Allen and his St Paul Saints, one of the strongest of the western A. A. clubs, unpacked their bats at Washington Park today for a four-day stand with the Indians and owing to the stirring excitement that Allen usually creates it is expected that week-day fans will be supplied with many thrills. St. Paul felt insulted when A. A. dopesters named Milwaukee as the 1928 pennant favorite before the season opened and the Apostles have been busy striving to prove their rights to that honor. This is the club that knocked off the Indians in St. Paul four in a row when the Betzelites were crippled and Tribe rooters can take it for granted the home pastimers will battle hard to get even. Two Defeats Sunday The Indians got the worst of It over the week-end with th" Minneapolis Mille - s, losing two and winning one. The Betzelites won Saturday, in a slugging match, 10 to 9, but fell by the wayside Sunday and dropped a double header, 4 to 3, and 3 to 0. Weak defense cost both games, the Tribe outfield being responsible for the first Sunday defeat and the catching being responsible for the nightcap downfall. Both Boone and Yde pitched good ball. In the opening Sabbath tilt the Betzels were leading, 3 to 2, when the ninth arrived. Wheat first up, fouled to Haney. Smith sent a line drive to center and it went for a home run when Comorosky misjudged the hop. Gillis single ! and Warstler made a great play to retire Warwick. Orsatti was given an intentional pass., Duncan batted for Hubbell and Anderson dropped his liner in right, Gillis scoring. The Indians had men on third and second in their half with two out, but Haney was called out on strikes by Umpire Rue on a ball that lqoked low. Ten Hits; No Runs The Millers won the second fray in the sixth stanza after two out, a stolen base starting the fireworks. The Indians got ten hits in the nightcap, but Liska held them runless. , Late Saturday the Indians sent Pitcher Bill Burwell to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Outfielder Adam Comorosky and PitcheryErwin Brame and thfe new players were on hand here Sunday Comorosky played in both contests. He is here on option while Brame becomes the property of the Indians. Brame is a right-handed pitcher and Comorosky a right-handed hitter and' thrower. A “big deal” has been transacted in the American Association. The Senators, in the cellar, traded Catcher Bird to Louisville for Catcher Shinault. Louisville Is seventh and in danger of ousting Columbus from last place. Manager Stengel >f Toledo ran out of catchers Sunday ard Pitcher Huntzinger caught the twelfth und thirteenth innings, the Hens beating tie Blues. Bto 7. Attendance In Toledo was 13,877. , St. Paul bumper Louisville twice Sunday and grabbed -iff th® league lead. The Brewers, like tha Indians, took two on the chin and Oolumlus surprised everybody with a double-heaCer victory. In the first tilt at Washington Park Sunday Layno beat out a bunt in the third inning and both Anderson slid Haney score*! on it. Two were out at the time and the Millers were caught napping. The Indian* jrot six hits in the Sabbath opener and Warstler delivered three of the number. In* the wind-up fray, held to seven innings because of the Sunday closing law, Matthews poled four hits In a row. The Tribe had ten men left stranded in the seven rounds. One alibi is as good as another, so it might be said the Millers are better mudders than the Indians. With Walter Holke crippled, Reb Russell played first base Sunday and turned in a good job. He tried to win the second game with a home run in the last Inning when the bases were filled, but didn’t Slice enough and Harris caught the sphere in deep center near the fence. The fans cheered lustily for they realized Reb tried his best and nearly produced. After years of endeavor, Bih Burwell gained his point and receives another trial in the majors. His first try was with the St. Louis Browns. H/ goes to join’ Ownie Bush, his former manager, and Carmen Hill, a former pitching buddie. He drove through to join the Pirates in Brooklyn. 1

No Game Today; Twin Bill Tuesday

Wet grounds forced the postponement of this afternoon’s tilt between Indians and Saints and the clubs took a day off. There will be a double-header between the league leaders and Tribesmen Tuesday, first game at 2 o’clock, daylight saving time. Erwin Brame, new pitcher from Pittsburgh, may be sent to the Indian mound in one of the Tuesday tilts.

Williams Scores Win Over Darcy

Bobby Williams of Syracuse, N. Y., who meets Howard Bentz of Milwaukee, in the opening boxing show of the summer season at the Ft. Harrison punch bowl Tuesday night, has had but one fight since he last appeared here, and that engagement was with Len Darcy at Grand. Rapids, Mich., on May 19. Williams proved quite a surprise to the Furniture City fans, who had expected an easy victory for Darcy, local favorite at Grand Rapids, but when Referee Dickerson raised Bobby’s hand at the end of ten rounds, there was not a single dissenting vote from the customers. Williams and his Indianapolis opponent, Howard Bentz, were to arrive here this afternoon, Ft. Harrison A. A. rules requiring principals in main events to be in this city the day before the fight.
