Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 22.—1 t has been several years since what is poetically known as the fair name of baseball was scorched by the sordid breath of scandal. It was in 1920 that a plurality of the White Sox succeeded in disproving an age-

old theory that baseball was the one honest professional sport because it was constitutionally impossible to make it dishonest. This theory was on the presumption that no one man, not even the pitcher, could throw a ball game and that no nine men could ever be persuaded to throw one.

mßgim' :

Landis

I never hoard it explained by the gentlemen holding to this theory whether it presumed that the average of faithfulness on a ball club was supposedly limited to one man or whether it was merely inadvisable to include as many as nine in a conspiracy. m a tt You were simply told that a baseball game could not be thrown because it took more than one man to throw it. Seemingly, it never occurred to anybody that there was no physical law against a group of men getting together and throwing one. a tt a THAT is what the White Sox did. The clique, headed by Chick Gandil, threw a lot of ball games. They even threw a world series. How many ordinary games they threw in the course of the 1920 season for betting purposes probably never will foe known. Baseball remained approximately' pure for the next four years, or until Cozy Dolan and Jimmy O’Connell of the Giants asked Heinie Sand of the Phillies not to bear down too hard in an important game. * This was not much of a scandal as scandals go because Heinie persisted in manifesting a sublime species of piety. He haughtily informed the Messrs Dolan and O’Connell that rags were riches when worn for virtue’s sake and who in the heck did they think he was to throw a ball game for $500? tt tt tt The good Mr. Landis reluctantly deserted his golf course to look into the unpleasantness and in the course of his investigation learned from Frankie Frisch, then captain of the Giants, that back in the club house the boys had a quaint custom of jesting boisterously about bribery, thrown ball games and the evils of divorce. tt tt AND though the Giants’ captain assured Mr. Landis this was all done in good clean fun the old gentleman with the rampant coiffure professed to be shocked and demanded that the boys try to relieve the tedium of club house exile in the future with pastimes of a less sinister nature. All of which brings me eager and bright-eyed to the newest scandal in baseball. The tail-end Phillies have won nine of their last twelve games, and if there isn’t something phoney about that, Galli Curci is a hoofer and Paul Revere did it on a pogo stick. I do not wish to insinuate that the Phillies are not winning those games on the level but the uprising is entirely lacking in logic or purpose and if Mr. Landis can spare the time from his putter I wish he’d start a probe. At any rate the truth should be known. The Phillies haven’t any business winning that often in a year, or for that matter in two years. Until they went radical the Phillies had won seven games and lost thirty-three and even then it was believed they were playing far over their heads. To hear how they have won nine Bat of the last twelve and that, barring the Cards, are playing better ball than any club in the league is surprising or suspicious, depending on your faith in the game, humanity and miracles. Os course the answer may be that Burt Shotton has finally got them to playing ball. In which event it is only natural to inquire why. TODAY’S SELECTIONS AQUEDUCT Fire Watch. Havoc. Gallantry.

Bobby Jones Leads National Open as Final Rounds Start

John Risko and Godfrey Tilt Tonight Alabama Negro Faces Tough Cleveland Heavy at Ebbets Field. By United Press NEW YORK, June 23.—Fat-faced Johnny Risko of Cleveland meets sleepy-eyed George Godfrey, Alabama Negro, in a ten-round heavyweight bout at Ebbets Field, Broklyn, tonight. The bout was postponed from Wednesday. Risko now ranks among the leading heavyweight contenders, and on his record, no one is barred. George Godfrey, having earned himself a fair reputation by a one-round knockout of Jim Maloney ana a victory over Paolino, couldn't get a match with any of the other leading heavyweights, but Risko rushed forward without any qualms. In the same ring in which Jack Sharkey exploded the myth surrounding Harry Willis, Risko tonight is very likely to repeat ring history by chasing the ponderous Godfrey clear out of the heavyweight picture. Risko, because of his awkward style, is not pleasing, but he's a real fighter, capable of taking as much punishment as any of his contemporaries and while not a deadly puncher, still not a weak one. He beat Jack, Delaney Paolino and Jack Sharkey, and lost a decision to Tom Heeney.

Famous Atlantan Holds Two-Stroke Advantage Over Field. 7 HAGEN CLOSE BEHIND Walter Rests, Three Strokes Behind Amateur. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sporty Editor OLYMPIA FIELDS,’ CHICAGO, June 23.—The jinx of golf, which sees to it that the player who leads the field at the start of the third round does not come through to Win the National Open championship, lurked in the footsteps of Bobby Jones today. Only once in the past decade has the golfer who was out in front at the end of 36 holes finished in front, and that was in 1925, when Willie MacFarlane had to fight his way through two play-offs under a broiling New England sun to capture the title. But Bobby Jones was ever one to scoff at golfing superstitions He carries his with him in his well filled bag of graduated irons anc wizardry woods. The amateur champion, twice winner of the British and American opeiwOtles, set out today, paired with little Gene Sarazen, leading his closest rival by a margin of two strokes. Two rounds were played today and twilight will be creeping over Olympia Fields before the National Open champion of 1928 is called tc the smooth lawn by the hospitable club house to make his little speech and receive the cup. Jones was a lot less worried about that famous jinx of the links than he was about the presence of Walter Hagen, for example, three strokes bhind him at the third round, a favorite lurking place for “The Haig.” There seems no logical reason why a player who is behind when the final 36-hole test begins should expect to beat out those in front of him, but that is one of Hagen’s pet superstitions. In the British open at Sandwich this spring, Walter deliberately lay behind the leaders, to comrf through with a rush on the final day and win going away. Clpse at Bobby’s heels, elbowing the jinx aside, telling it to make way for someone who knows something about golf, were George Von 1m of California, and Bill Leach of Overbrook, Pa., while Hagen, Willie MacFarlane and young Henry Ciuci of Stratford, Conn., were nicely placed at the start of the third round.

LONDON, June 22.—W. T. Tilden beat Wilbur Coen, his fellow member of the American Davis cup team, 6-2, 6-2, today in their semi-final match in the men’s singles of the London Lawn tennis tournament. Although Tilden was not fully extended by his 16-year-old oppoent, Coen gave his tennis tutor a harder match than the score indicated. He forced a majority of the games to deuce with hard drives to Tilden’s feet and backhands to the corners. Frank Hunter, third of the Americans in the semi-finals, qualified to meet Tilden in an all-American final Saturday, when he defeated Hopman, the Australian.

Indian Pacemakers, in Midst of Winning Streak, Tackle Senators Here; Twin Bill Sunday

BY EDDIE ASH Fresh from four straight victories over the Hens at Toledo, Bruno Betzel and his league-leading Indians were back on the home lot today to open a four-game series with the Columbus Senators, the team that took three of four from the Tribe in a reemt session in the Buckeye capital. Nemo Leibolds Buckeyes, in the cellar, but never heless always dangerous because ihey possess the well-known sock, shut out Louisville Friday, 1 to 0. They were to meet the A. A. pacemakers in a single tilt here this afternoon, on Sunday a double header will be staged and the series will end with a single fracas Monday. A twin bill has been arranged for Sunday in order to take care of Tuesday’s game, for on that day the Indians will meet Bill McKechnie’s St. Louis Cardinals, National League Readers, in an exhibition at Washington Park. The Indians not only swept the four-game series at Toledo by winning Friday, 11 to 2, but extended their winning string over the Hens to eight m a row. The teams have met eleven times this season.

The weather almost was a duplication of the conditions at Poughkeepsie earlier in the week when California won the intercollegiate championship, except the rain let up shortly before the start. The freshman and junior varsity races of two two miles , both of which were rowed in a pelting rain, were captured by Yale, giving Eli one of the few clean sweeps ever hung up In the annual HarvardYale regatta.

“My coming visit to Ireland would be an added incentive, if one were necessary, to train even harder to retain my title in the contest with Heeney,” Gene said. “I am sure it would be embarrassing for the Irish to entertain an ex-champion who had lost his crown between the issuance of the invitation and the fulfillment of it.” Tunney had a fast workout Friday, consisting of eight miles of road work, ten minutes bag-punch-ing and five rounds with sparring partners.

the league leaders against Casev Stengel’s cohorts. The Tribesmen launched an early bombardment and in addition to pounding the ball they were alert and took full advantage of Hen errors. The result was the Hoosiers scored twice in the first, twice in the second, three times in the third and twice in the fourth. Old Jack Scott, Hen starting hurler, failed to puzzle and was sent to the showers in the third. With the game In the bag, Manager Betzel withdrew Catcher Spencer in the fifth inning to rest him and Florence finished out ;he backstock duties. “Pep” was right and kissed the ball for a home run over the right field fence in the ninth. Manager Casey Stengel nearly was prostrated by the punishment the Indians handed his club in the four games. With mid-season drawing near and the Indians on top In tho sizzling A. 4. race, Indianapolis fans are ready tn hug the Tribe pastimers. Wherever baseball is discussed over the land, the scramble in the Hickey loop plays a prominent part in fanning bees. By winning Friday while Milwaukee was held Idle, the Indians strengthened their lead to one game. That isn't much, ordinarily, but it means sometihng in the A. A. this year. With Haney crippled Friday, Manager Betzel played second and Connolly shifted to tlhrd. The Tribe pilot went hltless, but played well on the defense and handled seven chances. Connolly had little to do at third and spent the day bolstering his batting average. Herman Layne notched a double and single, scored three times and stole a base. Messner messed up three plays at short for Toledo and was withdrawn after the fourth. He had lour chanees and "kicked" three. Casey Stengel kicked uo dust and talked to himself In the fourth when he was left stranded on third. He started that stanza with a single and moved to third on O'Neil's double after Grimes had fanned. Jacobs batted for Messner and lined to Connolly. Ryan walked, filling the bases, and Casev did a Jig trying to rattle Btame. Then Koehler filed to Matthews for the third out and Stengel was ready to fight a cage of wildcats. Today’s game here starts at 3 daylight saving time. Sunday's double-header will st, rt at 2 o'clock and. s. t.

Howls Arise From Losers in Title Bout ‘No Fight Town,’ Wail: Jim Mullen; ‘Robbed,’ Chants Hudkins. By United Press CHICAGO. June 23.—Chicago may have to wait a long time for its next big' championship fight. The disquieting reverberations which followed its most famous prize ring battle of lecent years—the second Dempsey-Tunney bout—arose again today to form a similar unpleasant aftermath in the wake of the Ace Hudkins-Mickey Walker middleweight title affair. Anathemas poured in from all sides. Perhaps from the followers of Mickey Walker were not so vehement as the rest, for Mickey, despite the protest that he was the victim of foul ring tactics, won the fight after all. But the Wilcat of Nebraska, who lost the decision, and Promoter Jim Mullen, who lost $15,000 and all hopes of ever ascending to a place beside Tex Rickard, were done, more or less, with Chicago. " “There’ll be no more championship fights for this town as far as I’m concerned,” wailed Mullen. “I worked hard on this show. I thought; I’d get some support. And hout do I stand? Fifteen thousand in the red.” In the future. Promoter Mullen informed Chicago, he will confine himself to small shows in Mills Stadium. In a year or so he may step out of the promoter profession entirely. “Chicago isn’t a fight town,” he said. As for the Ace, who pounded Walker savegely but vainly through ten bloody rounds in storm-swept Comiskey Park last Thursday night, he and his manager-brother Clyde were shouting that they had been plainly robbed. Card Announced for Ripple Ring Arol Atherton, matchmaker for the Broad Ripple Park A. C., announces a return bout of six rounds between Frank Gierke and Frankie Clark as the main go of his fourbout show next Thursday night. Gierke and Clark appeared in the semi-windup on the initial bill last week and put up the best bout of the show. Included in the Thursday bill will be three four-round bouts which will bring together Charlie Bergie and Jack Ketchell, at 135 pounds; Noble Clark and Harry Neff, at 114 pounds, and Stub Jenkins and Jimmy Dunham, at' 105. The management announces the shows hereafter will start at 8:45 daylight saving time.
