B#4] WHEN BALK IS CALLED Is it possible for the pitcher to make a balk without any runners on the bases, and does the calling of a balk have any effect on the status of the batsman? tt tt tt IT is impossible for a pitcher to make a balk without any runners on the bases. The calling of a balk on the pitcher can in no way affect the status of the batsman, regardless of

what the call of balls and strikes may be when the balk is committed. It is possible to illegally deliver the ball to the batsman with no runners on and this condition is often confused with the balk. For instance, if the pitcher, with nobody on bases, delivers the ball

Evans

to the batsman without having either foot in contact with the rubber, it is an illegally pitched ball. The umpire should rule it a ball unless the batter strikes at it. This same act on the part of the pitcher with a runner on the bases would be interpreted as a balk. Thus the same act is differently Interpreted according to whether or not there are runners on. When the umpire calls a balk on the pitcher, play is immediately suspended, which, of course, makes it utterly impossible for the balk to have any effect on the status of the batsman. The count on the batsman remains the same when a balk is called, regardless of whether the pitcher delivers the ball.

Lead of Indians Cut to One-Half Game as Team Slumps With Bat Tribe Winds Up With Brewers Today and Leaves on Road; Ballou Baffles Locals Wednesday.

By EDDIE ASH V Betzel’s Indians, twice blanked by the Brewers in the current series, were to wind up their session with the Milwaukee outfit today and then proceed to Columbus where a fivegame program will be opened with the cellar Senators Friday. The Tribe pastimers will be away after today until June 23. Ferd Schupp was slated to pitch for the Tribe this afternoon. Still in a batting slump, the Indians took another shutout on the chin Wednesday, 1 to 0, making twenty-one consecutive innings for the home pastimers with nary a one crossing the home plate. Wingard blanked ’em Tuesday, 1 to 0, and Win Ballou repeated the dose Wednesday, giving up only five hits. Tribe Punch Missing Not since the fifth stanza of Monday’s fracas, which they won, 4 to 3, have the Betzel boys dented the home plate, and the whereabouts of the team’s lost punch has ’em all guessing at Washington Park. The defeat Wednesday, while Toledo was winning, enabled the Hens, 1927 A. A. champs, to step up to within one-half game of the leagueleading locals. Boy, the race is warm! Danny Boone opposed Ballou, veteran righthander Wednesday, and uncorked some great pitching, with the exception of the third session

Complete Entry Lists Expected for City Net Meet Next Week

Last Day for Entering in Junior Meet Timcs-Legion Tournament Drawings to Be Made This Evening. Today was the last day to enter the American Legion Junior baseball tournament, sponsored in Indianapolis by The Times and officials were busy checking over lai entries. Dale Miller, Seventh district chairman, stated today that he would be at the A. G. Spalding Store, receiving entries until 8 p. m. tonight. After 8 the drawings will be made and diamonds assigned for the tourney play. Complete details of the drawings and diamonds wlil be announced in The Times Saturday. The Oriole Juniors, a south side group of youngsters, managed by Eddie Kelso, this morning announced intentions of entering the tournament. The winner of the district championship will play in the State championship and the victorious club will be sent to a sectional tournament. The elimination play will result in an eastern champion and a western champion. The two clubs will play in the Legion junior world series and the championship team will be the guests of the American and National leagues at the world series in October.

when a let down caused a Brewer run to go over, and that tally decided the contest. Two Threats Wasted The Indians threatened in the first and second innings, but the needed bingle wasn’t there and each of the threats saw runners left stranded on third and second. After the second, Ballou was in royal command and in five of the remaining seven innings not an Indian reached first. Matthews singled after two were out in the fifth, but Warstler promptly forced him when the hit-and-run play went awry. When Miller, Brewer shortstop, saw Matthews start with the pitch he scooted to cover second and bumped into Warstler’s line grounder and stepped on the bag to force Matty. If Miller had not moved with the pitch the Warstler drive would have gone through for a single. Fans Three in Row In the seventh, Holke, first up, singled and then Ballou tightened and fanned Connolly, Florence, batting for Spencer and Russell batting for Boone. Umpire Johnson called the third strike on Russell, figuring evidently, he wouuld make a faster game out of it b yso doing, because the pitch was plainly inside. It wasn’t even a Class D strike.

The Wednesday Tribe-Brewer contest was errorless and the Brewers got only five hits off Danny Boone in seven i'lnings and one off Speece in two. Boone fanned four and Ballou six. The lone run of the matinee scored in the third canto. McMenemy opened with a double. Ballou sacrificed and Bennett bored a hit through Connolly, sco-lng McMenemy. Miller scratched a hit and Griffin walked, filling the bases, but Boone worked out of the hole without further counting. Every day Adam Comorosky of the Indians comes through with a circus catch. Wednesday, in the fifth inning, he came in fast, left his feet in a dive and snared Bennett’s low line drive. When the Brewers had the bases filled in the third, with their one run over, and one out. Pick clicked the sphere right on the beerer for a dead liner. But Connolly leaped and the ball stuck in his glove. He missed getting a double play on the catch when he threw low to Holke. However, the sparkling snare gypped the Brewers out of two more markers for the drive was labelled a hit when it left Pick's bludgeon. Extra bunting practice would help some of the Indians move up mates when called on to sacrifice. The sacrifice made by Ballou in the third inning Wednesday helped him win his own game. Boone caught Bennett napping off second in the first round Wednesday and a throw to Warstler nailed the Brewer easily. Walter Holke collected two of the Indian's five hits. There was much snappy playing on the infield. Fred Haney, runner-up to Morehart of St. Paul for stolen base honors in the league, added a theft Wednesday. It was a clean steal. Walter Rehg, former Indian outfielder and one of the oldest players in point of service in the Ameican Assocation, has passed out of the circuit, but the popular sun gardener remains in Class AA. He has been traded to Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League by Columbus, the Senators getting Pat McNulty, former Ohio State University athlete who saw considerable big league service with the Cleveland Americans.

Albrecht Kipp to Compete in Doubles Play; Partner • Unnamed. ROBERTS WORKS OUT Du Hadway, Danke Ready for Tourney. BY ROBERT E. O’HARA Cntry lists for the city championship tennis tourney at the Hawthorn Club, which starts Monday, are piling in, and a full card in every division of play is expected. The grounds committee is taking advantage of the good weather to put the courts into first-class shape for the meet. For the convenience of local tennisers, the tournament committee has announced that entry blanks may be filled out at A. G. Spalding & Co.’s store, 136 N. Pennsylvania St., and at the club. Albrecht Kipp, who won the doubles title last year, teamed with John Hennessey, has indicated that he will have an entry in the 1928 tournament. He has not yet announced his partner, but the favorites in the meet will do well to keep this gentleman in mind, as he is noted for getting “ungettable” shots, and Is a formidable player in 1 doubles or singles. Johnny Hennessey practiced a great deal with Kipp. “He gets them back more than anyone I’ve ever played against,” was the way Johnny described the veteran's play, “and he keeps you rimning all the time. You can shoot ’em as hard as you want to, but Breck nearly always sends ’em back!” Jack Roberts, one of the most promising juniors of the city, and Muriel Adams, runner-up to Katherine Wolf in last year’s tournament, put on a couple of fast'and furious sets Wednesday evening. Jack iooks to be in better form than ever, and declared that the sore arm which cost him many matches last season, is entirely well. Miss Adams was covering the court in her usual business-like way, and her strokes had all the force and accuracy that she is noted for- “ Woody” Du Hadway, prominent in local boys’ circles, who now is living out of the city, returned Wednesday and showed up at the Hawthorn courts in company with Fred Danke. Both youngsters are hoping to make the older juniors work hard in the coming meet. They declared they probably would team in the doubles. Phil Pike of Bloomington, who won matches with amazing regularity for the Indiana University tennis team a year aga together with Charles Hepburn and H. S. Lammers of this year’s Crimson team, and Leland Haworth, also an exIndiana man, are entering the meet. Jack Roberts said that he probably would pair up with Bob McCuilough in the junior doubles this year, which looks bad for other entrants in that class. They team well, and both are steady players. GORILLA STOPS BROWN By Times Special CLEVELAND, June 14.—Gorilla Jones, Akron welter, won by a technical k. o, from Bobby Brown, Rowell, Mass., in the second round here Wednesday.

/. U. Athletes Try for Olympic Team By Times Special BLOOMINGTON.

Times Schoolboy Golf Field Cut to 96 as Match Play Is Staged in Three Flights at Coffin Club 141 Young Links Players Entered in Popular Tourney; Bajt of Washington and Stone of Manual Low Medalists With 79.

BY DICK MILLER The field of competitors in the third annual Indianapolis Times invitational interscholastic golf tournament at Coffin municipal links narrowed from 141 to 96 by an eighteen-hole round of medal qualifying play Wednesday, and match play started today to further diminish the field. The ninety-six qualifiers were divided into three flights of thirtytwo each, according to their scores Wednesday. The Championship flight contained boys who shot scores Wednesday ranging from 79 to 91. Two youths who finished with 91 scores in positions 33 and 34 were relegated into the first consolation flight known as the “Harry Schopp flight.” The thirty-two players in this flight were blanketed under six strokes, 91 to 97. The third flight of 32 contained youths who shot scores from 97 to 105, with two boys who shot the latter score in positions 33 and 34. They were Ivan Whitridge of Broad Ripple and Thomas McClintock of the same school. Maurice Stone of Manual and Phillip Bajt of Washington tied for the low medalist honors Wednesday with scores of 79. They will play off the tie later. Probably the greatest piece of golf Wednesday was turned in by Russell Rader of Manual, who walked the course on crutchts and scored 81, two over the low qualifying scores. Ruder recently underwent an operation for an abcess on the leg. Fearing thestrain of the long walk would be too great for the healing member, Rader walked between shots on his crutches. He dropped the supports before each shot and before going on the green. Boys from all schools of the city and of all ages ranging from 7 to 17 entered. Harold McClure; Jr., son of the course manager at Coffin, was the youngestentry, being only 7. He scored 172 and was but five strokes over his partner, Robert Lindop of St. Joan of Arc, who scored 167. Neville Ewing, defending champion of last year, was off his game Wednesday. The strong wind that swept the course inflated scores of most of the favorites. George Anderson, who was low medalist last year, scored 85 Wednesday. Billy Reed Jr. scored 84. Missed Futts Costly Tom Rile of Technical was a dark horse as was Cecil Bolding, also of Tech. They both scored 80’s and missed putts for low medal honors. Bolding, by scoring par on the last three holes, could have turned in 77, but darkness was on him and he faltered at the finish after playing brilliant golf to recover from two bad 7’s on the third and eleventh holes. William Heinlein, champion at Cathedral, was off his game and scored 85. over a course where he rarely shoots above 80. James Stewart, Shortridge champion, failed to qualify in the championship bracket with a score of 99. That score also failed to place him in the first consolation flight, and he was listed in the second consolation. Os the field of 141 starters in the

The first is known as the "Championship flight,” from which will develop the city interscholastic champion. The other two flights are consolation play with special prizes. Ninety-six youths were engaged in the first round of match play today. Os this number forty-eight were eliminated at the end of the first round of eighteen holes play.
