Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

■jyTEW YORK. May 4—ln a lN broad sense I suppose the baseball fellows are more virtuous than the prize fighters. I have just finished reading an interview with Art Shires, the retiring Hollyhocs of the White Sox, in which he makes reference to Chick Gandil, expelled from what is known as organized baseball because he was instrumental in framing the series between Chicago and Cincinnati ten years ago. a tt a Shirft *omr of hi* art atic training under Gandil in an outlaw league in the far went. “Even an old as he is,” Shire* is quoted, “he is stil the best first baseman I e\er saw. It's a shame they won't let him plav ball any more.” Ban Old Colonel William;- i Inclined to hr sympathetic about persons who are font up the road as the consequence of rash and violent act:: B’ nature he is some- 1 what of a sap. H' will over a young sltver who protested when his sweet f hi ng railed hi home an awful dump and Jeer at crooked millionaire, who drew thirty days for thumbing a bulbous beak at. rhe government. b n n HOWEVER. Shires’ remarks are ! , interesting. I hold no particu- I lar brief for Gandil. In fact. I; know little about the gentleman j except that he. along with others, I was caught with his guard down at j an embarrassing moment. a it tt I remember, too, that fie made a gallant stand against Tris | Speaker in a fist fight under the grand stand in Cleveland and that in the end he was stretched for the count, and after it was over I he said: “That big so-and-so sure can punch.'’ it tt a I seem to reca! Itha! the incident meant vomethine to rnc the day I the stood Judge 1 andis had .sentenced him Jo the Siberian meah of baseball. a a tt ONLY a fev. T weeks ago T was talking with the good -Judge Landis about young Jimmy O'Connell. outfielder of the Giants, who was booted out of baseball because he had repeated sinister instruc- I tions he had received from the New' I York bench to Heinie Sand, third ! bqpeman of the Phillies. I was wondering if O'Connell would ever be allowed to play again and if there hadn't, been certain extenuating circumstances in his case which would make his absolution warrantable. B tt B The good Judge thought nnf. The high' moral principles of baseball argued against ; it. There could hr no c .eeptions, no varying shades of black, one touch of pitch made the uholr soul a tar barrel. BBS T don't, knov win I asked him about ! O’Connell except that there was a bog I down In the conversetion. T know that j I had no flaming interest in the youth's j misfortune other ihau it struck me the 5 penalty was somewhta heavier than the | alleged crime. 808 “TS TO man who has ever plotted IJ to throw a ball game can ever j play in one of my leagues,” thundered the good .judge. My answer to i that was a natural dumb-like : silence. I don't know that there is | any other answer. ana Very likely Young Jimmv O'Connell is getting along much better out in San Francisco dri\ing a truck than he would he at the Polo Grounds trying to catch flies and drive in runs. When he makes 2 left turn out there against the lights there is no one to yell at him “How much did they pay >ou for that." There are times, no doubt, when it is better for the peace of mind to smother & past than to vindicate it. B B tt At n humanity ; .an. the judge probably realizes this better than Young Jim- t my or his critics ever will. As the high ; commissioner of baseball his expressed i viewpoint is cntttrely different and may j be discounted proportionately. 1

Indians Go to Milwaukee After Two More K. C. Struggles

Cubs Rated TOO Highly, Says Pilot Chicago’s Hurling Staff ‘Only Fair,’ Claims Hendricks of Reds. BY JACK HENDRICKS Manager of the Cincinnati Reds 'Written for United Pressi NEW YORK. May 4—The St. Louis Cardinals have the best team team we've played this season and I expect them to be serious contenders again this season for the Natioanl League pennant. If Alexander. Haines and Sherdel stand up, the Cardinals are going to be mighty hard to beat. They appear to be better than last year. I think the Reds compare favorably with any team I've seen in action this season. Gooch has strengthened our catching staff. I have five reliable pitchers in Lucas, Luque. Donohue, Rixey and Ash. The infield is good. Our club is in fine shape. No sore arms or injuries. If we do have any hard luck we have plenty of strong reserves. I think the Cubs are over-rated.! We should have beat them four i straight instead of winning two. i losing one and tying one. I’ll admit they have power in Cuyler. Wilson, Hornsby and Stephenson, but their pitching is only fair. Root is a great pitcher, but Bush and Blake are doubtful. The Pirates’ pitching looks bad now with Grimes, their best man, injured. Their infield is worse than it. was last season. The Warier boys and Grantham, however, give them a great outfield. I would rather not comment on the eastern teams until I see them in action in a few games, but I am happily surprised by the fact the Braves look iike they rpay be in the race.

Tribe Winds Up Series With League Leaders on Sunday. RIDDLE IN HERO ROLE Hits Timely Double and Tosses Out Three Blues. B.u Timen Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 4. With the series standing even, the week-end will see the end of the In-dian-Blue struggles and the Betzclites will hit it out of here Sunday night for Milwaukee to play three games with the Brewers, the first on Monday. Bud Teachout, young southpaw from the coast, was the likely Tribe choice for the pitching assignment here this afternoon, in the third tilt with the league-leading Cowboys.

John Shows ’Em

The big feature Friday aside from great hurling by Bill Burwell in the

pinches, was the sparkling work of John Riddle, who got his first chance of the season behind the bat when Koenecke batted for Joe Sprinz in the sixth. The peppery Georgia youth doned the “tools,” got in there, held up Burwell in splendid fashion,

Riddle

Riddle

caught two Blues trying to steal, picked Warmouth, a pinch runner, off first base in the ninth with a lightning throw to Monahan and smacked a whistling double in the eighth that scored Lennie Metz with what proved the winning run. It was a remarkable debut for a youthful receiver. The Indians captured the second of the series, 4 to 3. and had the satisfaction of sending George Murray to the showers in the seventh, Lefty Thomas finishing on the K. C. mound. The hits were eleven for the Tribe and ten for the Blues. It looked like the Indians’ ball game in the first inning when Murray got himself into a jam and two singles, a sacrifice and an error were good for two runs. The Blues, however, got one of the runs back in their half of the first and later in the third collected two more to take the lead when Barnhart dropped a fly to let Grigsby loose on the paths. Gerken then socked the ball for a single that set Grigsby on third and the stage was set for Michael’s thump which sent Grigsby home and Gerken to third. Peters sacrificed Gerken home with a high fly to Matthews.

Metz Singles and Advances Although Murray w'as taken from the game after he had allowed the bases to be filled in the seventh, Thomas is charged with the loss. Thomas caused Monahan to force Connolly at the plate for the second out and made Warstler fly to Knothe, retiring the side. But the contest was lost in the eighth when Metz singled, went to second on a balk and was driven home by Riddle. who drove a double down the third base line. tt u tt , The Indians lost a run in the eighth Friday when Umpire Goetz ruled Riddle left third too soon on Matthews’ fly to Tucker and the youth was doubled up. There was some dispute about Goetz’s decision in the matter. tt a tt Barnhart and Metz each poled fwo blows for the Tribe. Biddle's double was the only extra-base swat of the game. tt t: a It was only the third defeat marked against the Blues since the new campaign opened, and one of the others also was an Indianapolis victory, scored at the Hoosier capital. tt tt a The close tilts of Thursday and Friday will mean tremendous attendance over the week-end if the weather warms up. It was cold and windy again Friday. 808 Manager Betzel got some results my shaking up his batting order. Matthews was placed back at the top. his favorite spot. Connolly was advanced to second place and Warstler was dropped to sixth. tt B tt Barnhart had trouble out in right field and dropped one fly and a liner. However, be made a fine running catch on Tucker in the fifth. tt B B The Indians are the only eastern A. A. team sticking in the first division. They were holding down third place this morning.

Dash Stars Featured in Ohio Relays Jack Elder Races Against George Simpson in Headline Event. BY HARRY SHARPE United Tress Staff Correspondent COLUMBUS, 0., May 4—Stars of the cinder track from ten states and 250 schools line up today for the finals and invitation events of the sixth annual Ohio relays. The weather, like Friday’s, was semifrigid, with rain or snow threatening to cut down attendance and impede the aspiring record-breakers. The invitation century, scheduled for 2 p. m., held the major spotlight today. Heading the event was George Simpson, Ohio State’s fleet sprintman, who unofficially equalled the world’s record of 9 and 6-10 at the recent Penn relays. Simpson's competition was to include Pete Brown of Pittsburgh, Jack Elder of Notre Dame and Judd Timm of Illinois. Elder holds a victory over Percy Williams, the Canadian champion and Olympic star. One of the features of Friday’s performance was the exhibition half-mile between Orval Martin of Purdue and Joe Sivak of Butler. Martin beat Sivak in a brilliant stretch drive. His time was 1:57.2. Another feature on today’s program was to be the four-mile relay, involving such powerful teams as Indiana. Butler, Illinois and Ohio State.

Meyer to Defend Speed Laurels in ssoo"Mile Race Here on May 30 1928 American Champion to Be Opposed in Classic Event by Horde of Famous Pilots.

F.Y NORMAN ISAACS Times Assistant Sports Editor Shy Louis Meyer, a quiet, retiring young fellouw, who bears the 1928 crown of speed as American automobile racing champion will defend the laurels of Uncle Sam on May 30 on the bricks of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway against the invasion of a colorful young French ace, Louis Chiron, the 1928 champion of Europe. The modest South Gate fCal.) winner of tine last 500-miie race will have pitted against him not only Chiron and Gianfranco Comotti, the Italian star, but almost two score of American speeders, all after the honors in the world's greatest motor race. His victory in the auto classic last Decoration day sent Meyer catapulting into the hall of fame like a fleeting comet. Meyer in 1927 was mechanic and substitute pilot for Frank Elliott and drove 133 miles in the 1927 event, his entire experience on the local two-and-one-half mile brick oval.

CHICAGO, May 4.—The other day we were playing the Athletics and before the game the fellow's were sitting on the bench while the As took hitting practice. Players on opposing teams say a lot ol pretty mean things to each other before and during the ball game—and half the time

they don't mean what they say. It seems to be just a part of the game. Jockeying is what we cal; it, and, believe me, there are some fellows in our league who are pretty fair jokeys. We've got two on our club in Benny Paschal and Leo Durocher. Walter French of the Athletics is another one. Milt Gaston of the Red Sox also has a pretty nimble tongue. Now' and then some of those fellows pull some funny lines, too. The funniest one I ever heard was one that Durocher pulled on Bob Fothergill of the Tigers. Bob, you know, is pretty fat and one day when he was coming to bat in a close game, Leo hallowed for time.

"One of those fellows is out.," he yelled at the umpire. "What do you mean,” the umpire asked. "Why one of those hitters," Leo yelled back, pointing to Fothergill. "You can’t have two men up there at the plate an once.” Joe Dugan was another guy who had a pretty flip tongue. Joe’s World Series classic was a peach. It was against the Giants in '23. Jack Scott was pitching for the Giants and going great. Jo came up to bat in a tough spot, with runners on. Scott had one strike on him when Joe stepped out of the batter's box. The umpire called time, and then, so loud it could be heard from both benches. Joe yelled to Scott: “Hey, Scotty, pin back your ears! You look like a loving cup!" One of the newspaper boys who was listening to the chatter on the bench one day. asked me how much good jockeying did in a game. That’s a hard question. A lot of it is useless. Other players, for the most part, don’t even hear half the things that are yelled at them. But there are some fellows who will go completely to pieces if they are being razzed —and those are the fellows that the boys are always "on.'’ If you can get some opposing player sore —if you can get him seeing" red so he wants to fight, then he's not much good in a ball game, and that's the big idea. I’ve seen fellows get so sore out there on the

dropping him twice for the count of nine. If Dundee had not been beaten a number of times by other boxers it would be difficult to explain how a man who twice could conquer a champion could prove such an easy mark for a light hitter like Jones. Impressed by reports of Mello’s two victories over the title-holder, the boxing authorities had planned to authorize a championship match between Wells and Jackie Fields, generally recognized as the real title holder/ Friday night's affair dem-

MANUAL TRIPS RIPPLE The powerful Manual high school baseball nine defeated Broad Ripple Friday afternoon, 14 to 6.

Unable in 1928 to obtain a seat in any of the mounts entered. Meyer arranged for the purchase of a ear from the then-retired Phil Shafer. Meyer qualified the car at 111 miles an hour. Meyer was just one of the unnoticed pilots in the race up to the 200-mile marker. At that point he had moved into fourth place but was not being taken seriously. At 300 miles he was second and bidding for the lead, but dropped back to third at 350 and remained in that position, keeping on the heels of the leaders, Tony Gulotta and Jimmy Gleason. In the last fifty mile spurt, both Gulotta and Gleason were forced out of the event and Meyer flashed into the lead and the checkered flag was flashed over his head, signifying victory. It meant approximately $40,000 to the winning entry. Chiron campaigned on the tracks of Europe in 1928 with brilliant success. His mount in the race here will be a De Lage, champion car of Europe.

Babe Ruth Says: •jockeying’ Is Just a Part of the Game to Us.

field that between innings they’d come over and challenge every man on the opposing bench. Os course that's duck-soup for the boys and from that time on they'll do some plain and fancy jockeying. I’ve been pretty sore myself sometimes. I don't mind saying that the Giants once had me so sore in a World Series that I was ready to do murder and once last season we had Howard Ehmke so peeved he didn’t know whether he was playing baseball or ping pong. Jockeying keeps the boys pepped up and keeps up interest in the ball game. It’s just a part of the game like batting practice. Players have been doing it ever since the game was started and they always will I guess. After all, baseball wouldn't be half so good a game if players were like golfers, and went through the game without ever making a sound or saying a word to others when they were at bat or in the field.
