Talking It Over WITH JOL WILLIAMS
NEW YORK May 6. -An American League umpire who has been calling them right and wrong, in the order named, for a great number of years, was discussing the swatting future of Lou Gehrig as compared with the up-to-date exploits of George H. Ruth. “I agree with most of the boys." commented the limps, that there will never be another Ruth. He can do everything superlatively well, and he can hit a baseball harder than any man this generation ever saw. nan •'What* morr. hr l<i natural!' filled with certain theatrical nualitic* that make him a rreat showman —probable the greatest -bowman the game ever had.

For a ball quite veil b :* he ha? the natural capabilities to do much better. a a a fc reason he hasn't developed vJ even faster than he has is that he is still overawed by Ruth. Gehrig refuses to believe by any chance that he is yet as formidable •with the bat as the master, and naturally as long as he feels this way about it he is going to continue a comparatively inferior slugger. a a a ••There ha-, ilu.i" been mouth honor for firhriK In brine rnnnrr up to thr Babe. lone ■*<* hr f*-ls that this distlnrtlon is sufTlrirnt for him hr will nrvrr hr thr parr srltrr.

Grover Cleveland Alexander, 42-vear-old St. Louis Cardinal's pitcher, told the United Press in an exclusive interview today. “I’m pitching more with my head now that with my arm." he continued. “Every ball I throw up to the plate is aimed at a certain spot." Beginning his nineteenth season in the national league. Alexander attributes 75 per cent of pitching skill to control. Because my control gets better all the time. I am still pitching in the big leagues, while other pitchers who have just as much stuff or more than I have have gone back to the minors," he said. Alexander isn’t certain if he’ll ever play minor league baseball after his

big league career is over. “I figure I’ll stay in baseball for some time to come,” he added. “I might, try my hand as a manager. The high spot of his career. Alex said, was when he relieved Haines in the seventh inning of the final game of the 1926 world series against the Yankees and fanned Lazzeri with the bases filled. In the two succeeding innings Alex held the Yankees scoreless and the Cards won, 3 to 2. Many conflicting stories have been written and told about that incident. “I wasn't asleep or drunk either." Alex said. “T wasn't paying much attention to the game, but couldn’t see any use of getting in a hurry. Hornsby and t rode to the game together and he told me that if the game got close he might call on me. I told him T wouldn't need to throw but about three balls and I'd be warmed up and ready to go. I guess the way I pitched shows I wasn't drunk or drowsy either ” Alexander said he never had a nervous moment in any game. “Any pitcher is apt to get knocked out. You can't win all the time. By pitching carefully, working on every' batter’s weakness and depending on my support I know that’s about all you can do. Some day's that will win for you and other day's it won’t and that’s all there is to pitching.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Indians Get E With Blues; Three-Game Series Starts Wins Saturday and Defeat in Kay ! Bv 7 intts rial | MILWAUKEE. May 6.-Bruno Betzel's Indians invaded Milwaukee today on the second leg of their journey around the American Association and the 1928 pennant winners will battle the Brewers in three struggles before hiking up to St. Paul. The Tribe was to engage the Lelivelt crew in the opener of the short series today, and it was believed A. J. ißud> Teachout would do the pitching for the Hoosiers. Milwaukee opened the season at Indianapolis April 16 and dropped four games, and it is needless to say the local pastimers are out for blood as the Indians invade Borchert field. The Brewers broke even in a double-header with Louisville Sunday and the Betzelites got knocked off in Kansas City, 6 to 2. Milwaukee is trailing the league and Indianapolis is in fourth place. Since performing at Indianapolis, S the Brewers have strengthened to some extent with Bevo Lebourveau j back in uniform and Eddie Grimes added to the infield roster.
Peiiner Stopped by Blues Sunday
Bu Times S’>ccinl ' „ KANSAS CITY. Mo., May 6. Losing the final tilt of the series with the Blues, the Indians hustled out of town Sunday night headed for Milwaukee. It was an even break in Kawtown for the champions, each club taking two battles. Ruel •Love won Saturday, 4 to 2, and Kansas City beat Ken Penner Sunday, 6 to 2, and Ken's perfect pitching average was punctured. He won three in a row before meeting defeat. The Blues got to Penner for a flock of four run? in the second inning Sunday and that early barrage was enough to beat him for his mates found Morrison a puzzle. It was cold again and only about 7.000 fans craved the frigid atmosphere to see the Sabbath encounter. Bruno Betzel got splendid pitching in three of the four struggles here, but his batters failed to follow the pace of the hurlers. The Tribe got nine hits off Morrison Sunday, but three of the bingles were erdited to Metz. Inability of Layne, Barnhart and Monahan to hit consistently,is holding back the champions in their efforts to stick close to the top. Lennie Metz, who was rated the weak member before the start of the season, is the only Tribe pastimer batting above the .300 mark. * AB H RBI 2b ib HR Av Metz 56 22 X 3 I 0 .393 Kornrckp ... 9 3 I 0 0 ft .333 Riddle 1 2 2 l ft ft .286 Love 7 2 1 1 0 ft .286 Barnhart ... 43 12 t I 1 1 .279 Matthews ... 62 17 2 2 1 0 .274 Monahan ... 6! 16 6 2 1 0 .262 Warstler 68 17 6 I I 2 .250 Penner 12 3 1 1 ft 0 .250 Connolly ... 55 13 6 5 ft 1 .236 Layne 62 14 Ift i 1 2 .226 Sprinz 45 Ift X 2 ft 1 .222 Bur well 10 2 ft 0 ft ft .2ftft Russell 17 3 T ft 0 ft .177 Schunp 8 ft ft ft ft ft .04X1 Teachout. ...

McCarthy’s Cubs Strive to Make Up for Weak Spot Behind Plate Practically Entire Receiving Corps Handicapped by Injuries: Pitchers, Hitters Go Big.

With practically the entire receiving corps handicapped by injuries, the Chicagoans have dug in and produced enough good pitching and hitting to make up for the catching deficiencies. To date, McCarthy’s men have won nine out of fourteen games and are but half a game out of first place. They are out in front in team batting with .332, third in fielding and have five regulars hitting better than .300. Early fears regarding pitching have been discounted. Malone has won all of his four starts in impressive fashion, Bush has won two and lost none, and Root has two victories with one defeat. That the “wrecking crew” is livng up to its name is evidenced by the averages: Stephenson, .465; Cuyler, .375; Hornsby, .374; Wilson, .320. and Grimm, ,318.
