Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 10.— Eeeaui-e it is the American custom—and possibly the world custom—to stress the spectacular and unusual in sports, many otherwise gifted performers fail to receive their fu'l share of the hooplas.

Urban Shocker has passed from the ranks of the Yankee pitchers. He was one, of the greatest Is pi t ball piteners ox all time. He pitched with his arm, his heart and h : .s head. Over a space of twelve years he irav-

f ' t ,

Shocker

veled at a .622 gait and had an aiitime earned run average of 3.03. When you can go twelve years in the big leagues and during that t:me the opposition can score no more than an average of three runs a game off your pitching, it may be written with some degree of verity that you have done rather well. a an Still Shocker never stood out as an imposing figure. His release by the Yankees occasioned no great furore. None of the boys wept in the news columns. He was just another pitcher who had tarried around until his arm had gone back on him. ana BUT Shocker was more than just another pitcher, as the Cobbs, the Ruths and the Heilmanns who had to face him season in and season out no doubt will be glad to tell you—now he is gone. One reason Shocker didn't make a more striking impression on the public fancy is he lacked color. This is not an unusual situation in baseball. Marty ball players deserve ratings better than those accorded them. By the same reasoning other ball players do not deserve to be rated as high as they are. The answer is that thing called “color.” The colorless ball player never will win the plaudits of the crowd, while the colorful ball player—the cne with a flair for the spectacular or the unusual —frequently will be rated much higher than his intrinsic values warrant. n u It is not easy to define “color.” Dempsey had it in vast quantities, and without knowing it. In his case he succeeded in fulfilling the popular fancy of the savage fighting man. The stubby beard, ominous scowl, nervous fidgetigs before the gong, unre- ( strained assault—all these things made Dempsey the most colorful fighter of this generation. a a a SIZE and weight considered. Tommy Gibbons was a great fighter. In 100 fights he was beaten only twice. Yet he was not a great popular favorite. Unlike Dempsey, Gibbons was not the picture of a fighting man. He had none of those little touches that set him apart from the mob. He was a machine in action and it is not easy to thrill to the precise movements of mechanical doo-dads and gadgets. To see them once is enough. Gibbons was like that. Baseball men whose activities and memories link the game of today with the game of yeserday, tell you Herb Pennock of the Yankees is as great a left hander, or was in bis prime, as the national pastime ever say. In point of sheer artistry he probably is the greatest, taking into account his superb control, his audacity in the pinches and his array of twisters. a a a But to the popular mind Pennock with all his greatness docs not bulk as large as the shadow of old Rube Waddell. Again the difference is immaterial, yet material. Pennock is •ust a splendid pitche r . Waddell was that and a character besides. For some reason or other thi.seems to be a matter of growing importance. a a a WITH Dempsey retired, the most colorful figure in sports beyond debate is George Herman Ruth, the Babe himself, not a movietone. He is easily the greatest slugger in the history of the game, and many believe that this plus his all-around ability as a fielder, thrower and base-runner entitles him to be known as the greatest ball player. The Babe was fortunate he had color to team with genius. Gehrig will nevei be another Ruth. He can hit .100 home runs a season and still not fire the popular fancy as his teammate does. The human chemistry of the two men is severely different. Except that each takes a prodigious cut at the ball and hits for stupendous distances, they are as unlike as night and day, Paris and Poughkeepsie and Marilyn Miller and the bearded lady. Gehrig is 'just a slugger. The Babe is a National institution, fully equipped for night and day operations. The game has been replete with players who, like Gehrig and Pennock, suffered from merely being genuinely good ball players. The late Ross Youngs of the Giants, one of the great outfielders of his time, never got far in public estimation. Reason, there were no spangles to his act. a a a • A few others that fit into this same group are Max Carey, Sam Jones, Earl Sheely, Frank Schulte, Terry Turner, Larry Gardner, Dave Bancroft, Wally Pipp, Frank O’Rourke and Bill Jacobson. They never were lions to the bleacherites, but the ball players always understood their value. They were what the dugout calls ball players’ ball players.

Gene Hangs K. O. on Steve —With 'One-Buck 9 Word Bv TfEA Service SPECULATOR, N. Y., July 10.— When Gene Tunney heard that A1 Smith had been nominated he called Steve Hannagan, his press representative, who, by the way, gained fame as publicity director of the Indianapolis Speedway, to the royal palace and directed him to take down a wire of congratulations to the Governor. It was a long telegram and in it Tunney expressed his belief that in a national administration of the Governor there would be no hypocrisy or “demaguzhery.” Steve took> the “hypocrisy” without being staggered, but when he was hit with the second baby he was floored. He went to his quarters and sparred with a dictionary over all the d’s and couldn’t find the word. He went back to the royal palace and told Tunney he would have to throw in the sponge. “You would have spared yourself the labor if you had asked me when I was dictating the message,” Tunney said. “It is spelled d-e-m-a----g-o-g-u-e-r-y.” SAINTS BUY INFIELDER Bn Times Special ST. PAUL, Minn., July 10.—Officials of the St. Paul American Association club today announced the signing of Bobby Murray, infielder. He was purchased frem the New Haven Eastern League club.

JULY 10, 1928

Paddock to Run for U. S. in Olympiad Charley Cleared of Charges of Professionalism; His Third Trip. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 10.—Charley Faddock made preparations today to enact in real life his role in the motion picture, “The Olympic Hero,” the part which almost caused him to be barred from the 1928 Olympic team. Cleared of all charges of prates- ( sionalism by Daniel J. Ferris, chairman of the national registration committed of the Amateur Athletic Union, Paddock will sail aboard the S. S. Roosevelt Wednesday as a member of his third Olympic team. Some time back Paddock made a motion picture in which he won an Olympic race and a girl, and for so doing brought down the wrath ot many officials of amateur athletics who repeatedly have attempted to have the famous sprinter ruled professional. The Southern Pacific Association cf the A. A. U. investigated the case of Paddock on June 12 and cleared him of all charges of professionalism growing out of the picture. Affidavits were presented and signed by Franklin M. Baldwin, producer of the picture, and Nicholas Schenck, the exhibitor, attesting Paddock did not receive any remuneration for his part in making the picture. Previously Paddock had appeared in another picture for which he received remuneration, but his amateur standing was not contested because the picture had no connection with Paddock's fame as a sprinter. Even after Paddock won the right to be selected for the Olympic team by finishing second to Charley Borah in the 200 meter final at Cambridge, the National A. A. U. track and field committee by a vote of 5 to 3 and the Olmpic selection committee by a vote of 8 to 1 opposed his selection. Only the threat of Robert S. Weaver, president of the Southern Pacific Association of the A. A. U.. to withdraw the twelve members of the Los Angeles A. C. who had made the Olympic team from competing at Amsterdam unless Paddock was given a fair hearing prevented Paddock from being left off the original selections.
