Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 30. —Mr. Janjes (Round-Pan) Mullen put on a prize fight out in Chicago a week ago involving the mutual belligerency of Mickey Walker and Ace Hudkins. The prize fight drew $125,000. Mr. Mullen lost $15,000 after which he announced, with a prodigious sigh, he was through. At about the same time the United

States Golf Association sponsored a golf championship in the Illinois metropolis featuring the peculiar genius of Hagens, the Farrells and t Joneses. The golf championship grossed approximately $33,000. The golf association made a profit of $16,500. This neatly con-

Farrell

structed parallel stresses the probable truth of one or several things. Maybe Chicago is a better golf town than a fight town and it is fervently hoped that the Scar Pace A1 Capones and the Spike O’Donnells will take no offense at this suggestion. a a a The answer is, of course, that professional fighting is professional fighting and professional golf is professional golf and the circumstances under which the two are conducted are not precisely identical. nan IT is entirely likely Mullen could have taken over the golf championship and done as well with it as the golf magnates, even though he does not know a spade mashie from a mortally wounded stymie. And had the golfers attempted to run Mullen’s fight the chances are they would have lost even more that he. While on the whole, the brain brightness of the golfer is much higher than, that of the fighter, he does not begin to compare with the beak buster as a money-getter. Mullen, for instance, had to pay Walker $75,000 for his contributions to the noble science that night and Hudkins $25,000. On the other hand, Johnny Farrell, hero of the $33,000 golfing gate, got SSOO, a long rousing cheer and temporary possession of a hunk of silver that is neither useful nor ornamental but is, come to think of it, just swell to keep the door from blowing shut.

Clearly the monetary risks involved in the promotion of a golf tournament are less hazardous than those associated with the fight trade. If Mullen could have got his head man for SSOO, a long rousing cheer and a silver soup kettle it is probable he would have made a little money for himself. a u b EVERYBODY admits fighters #re over-paid these days. The promoters make this admission with great vigor and gestures—then go ahead and raise the ante. Curiously) the champion golfer is satisfied with the meager SSOO he wins. This is the smallest direct award professional sport offers. The bike riders are paid off in five figures; preliminary fighters get more than Farrell got for winning the open; the champion jockey of the year will make close to $50,000, and Mr. Canceled Check Pyle paid his champion runner $25,000. Perhaps one of these days the golf championships will be conducted on a different basis and the winning golfer will share in the gate receipts. The winning golfer gets his after the championship is ended. Instead of ill will he holds nothing but generous gratitude for the golf magnates who gave him his chance to crash the headlines, and capitalize his fame. Now if Mullen and his brother promoters could get their fighters to do that he wouldn’t have much to worry about—and when he can get to do that Hank Ford will be coming to me for money.

The veteran issued six walks, but he was smart and tightened when danger threatened, or his mates pulled him through with a snappy play. The contest was lost in the first inning, with Schupp on the Tribe mound and it was off Schupp the Hens scored their two runs on three hits and two sacrifices.

the second round and this dandy bailer hurled the sphere in amazing style. He allowed only three hits in eight innings, got six strikeouts to his credit and issued no walks. He fairly dazzled the enemy. But the Indians, striving hard, couldn't break through for a run off Pfeffe.- and as a result the two markers made by Toledo in the first stanza stood up all the way. The Indian had four bright chances to score had a timely hit gone through. A double play ruined the locals in the opening round and in the third Spencer led off with a 'single, but nothing happened. Fine Stop by Gaffney In the fourth the Tribe filled the bases with two gone, but hopes were snuffed when Gaffney broke down Spencer's hotshot in time to get a force-out at second. It was that Gaffney stop that practically eliminated the Betzels for the day. In the fifth Warstler took a chance and tried to score from third on a short fly to right, but Jake Jacobson's arm proved better than the Indians figured and Warstler was cut down at the plate. Russell walked to open the sixth and was left on first. In fact the Indians had nine men left to two for the Hens.

Rawling tried to steal second. The throw was hijrh. hut Connolly snared It and tagged the base runner in time for an out. This strategy is practiced in football also. When a gridder is knocked out the enemy usually sends the next play at him. Heinic Mueller of the Hens notched three hits Friday in four efforts. And he produced in the filed with wide coverage. Due to Illness. WII Matthews. Tribe center fielder, was unable to play his position. As he totes a high batting mark, his absence probably affected the Tribe attack. Veach and Jacobson turned in splendid catches on drives by Comorosky. The Friday fielding was faultless, both teams escaping errors. Steph Swetonic entered the fray with the score 2 to 0 against him and his mound performance was worth big league attention. Hamby was the only righthanded batter to get a hit off him. The first ten men to face. Steph were retired. Only twentv-one batters faced him in seven innings, three to an inning. Four men faced him In the ninth, giving Swetonic the remarkable feat of having only twenty-five men face him in eight stanzas. He fanned six. Issued no passes and had no wild pitches. The former Pittsburgh University star will be performing for his home city team if he continues dazzling the enemy. Fans who missed out on Steph's Friday work certainly missed a treat. Including women and children, the Friday attendance was about 3,500. Tribe batting averages, exclusive of pitchers, follow: G AB H Pet.
