fan in Cleveland realize it now. Riots like that hurt baseball more than all the ambling and all the rough stuff that ever was staged. The tunny pari ot it is that nine.cases out of ten there's no reason for the riot at all. You know the average fan gets all hot and bothered about umpi: l derision a lot of limes when there's no reason tor it. Now and then, of com * the players on the field make a real kick on a decision, but a lot ol times .'.hen fans see players talking tc an umpire and figure there a big squawk being made, they’re all wrong.

1 always think of a thing that happened to me at the stadium one day. Wc were playing a tough game with the Detroit Tigers. Whitehill was pitching for them and the game was one that meant a lot. All the fan; and there were a gang of tli r.i in the stands - were pulling for i.... and howling their heads of. at Umpire Rowland who was wdiving back of the plate. I came to bat and fouled off a (< uplc and the next one Rowland call' and a ;1 1 ike. Without thinking I linnet around and started talking to Rowland. Finally r walked away and bark to the bench and as I came back the ‘alia around the dugout Marted razzing Rowland Atta Boy. Babe One big u; who was rated aioiv'.'it. our diigout rose to his fee and lapped me on the bark. I hat a boy Babe.'' he yelled. “I guess ;ou fold him plenty that time —the big bum.” And all through the game that chap as riding Row land hard. The funny part of it was that that third strike -as right down the middle, a perfect strike, if ever I had one. I knew it. Rowland knew it. The player knew it. Every one knew it, except the fan: who were so hot and bothered. And as a matter ol 'ac' T hadn't squawked at all. What sh: and said was: • Hog' mae'.M'rel. Clarence, did you ;let o*ic break'.'

Babe Ruth Says: There’s No Excuse for Fans Throwing Bottles—Umpires Usually Right.

■vyt;w YORK CITY. May 22.—When we were * in Cleveland on the last trip west the boys -till were talking about the not scene they staged there a few days bciore—you know the one I mean, v hen Red Ormsby was socked with a pop bottle. That's serious business and I guess

was plaving second base. Tommy Connoily was umpiring. There was a runner on first and a ball was rapped to short. Tony went over to take the throw and try for a double play. He missed the bag and the runner was safe. Tony turned to talk to Tommy and all the fans started booing. ‘'Y ou're All Cry Babies” ' Go ahead and squawk, big town guys,' one fellow yelled at Tony. “Always squawking. You're a lot of cry babies.” They kept after Tony all afternoon because they thought lie had kicked on a decision. Asa matter of fact what happened was that Tony, turned to Tommy and commented on the laet that he couldn't seem to make that pivot* properly and hit the bag. “You're coining in too fast.” Tommy told him. “You get up so much speed getting over that you're a half stride over the bag before the ball gets to you.” The whole point, ol course, is that lans a lot of times get all excited O'er someling that they don't understand. It’s a fine thing for fans to root for their home team and all that. Without rooting baseball wouldn’t be very interesting. I've had run-ins with umpires in my day, but I've found this out—that ninety-nine times out of a hundred the umpires a.rc right, and that's a pretty high percentage. No matter how wrong any man may be any time, there’s no excuse for tossing pop bottles. (Copy right 1929. by The Times'

Hepburn and Marchese •Bear Down' in Tests Over Bricks. TRIALS START SATURDAY Many to Take Time Spins First Day. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS With qualifying trials but a scant three days away and the annual 500-mile speed classic at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway only a week from Thursday, auto pilots grooming their cars at the local plant are cutting loose with some dazzling speed and today was expected to be another great fiesta for the persistent rail birds. With the time trials so close, some oi the drivers are bearing down on the throttles to sec just what their mounts are capable of. Fans Entertained For a time Tuesday afternoon the speed fans ".ere entertained by some real speed put on by Ralph Hepburn m one of Du ray’s Packard Cable Specials and Carl Marchese in his Marchese Special. Hepburn is a veteran of the speed paths and he whizzed around the brick and concrete oval at unofficial speeds ranging around 115 miles an hour. Marchese. a Milwaukee dirt tracker. revealed a tendency toward "heavy-tooting” it and was barreling his car around the course at 112 and 113-mile-an-hour clip. Many t ars Ready An unusually large number of cars are expected to take their qualifying trials Saturday afternoon. Four laps at an average speed of ninety miles an hour is the necessary qualifying rate, but only thirtythree cars are allowed to start and the slowest mounts will be eliminated. Drivers taking their time trials Saturday assume precedence of position over the cars qualifying on the following days. Thousands of persons arc expected to witness the trials, which will be run off under the supervision of W. E. (Eddie) Edcnburn. of the A. A. A. contest boa i cl. Edcnburn arrived in Indianapolis today.

The grandstand spectators received* a. big- thrill early Tuesday afternoon when .lack Buxton, piloting De-eon Litz's Miller —a Rusco-Durak Special—had a narrow e*,eapc from injury while roaring down the front stretch at a 105-mHc-an-hour clip. The straps holding down the .sheetmetal hood broke &nri the wind lifted the rovering back over Bir ton's head as the relief dri\cr ducked just in time. Jack Cummins, the well-known Indianapolis tracker, was at the wheel of C. H. Cunard's Buck-eye-Duesenberg for a short time and was knocking off the mileage at a merry pace. His fastest lap was 112.5 miles an hour. Cummins takes the turns in nice style. Ralph Snov berger was on the (rack in his limprr Special turning in some speedy taps. The canary-yellow Cooper jobs are. sweet running busses. RAT,PH DF, PALMA TOURED THE OVAL IN (US MILLER REAR-DRIVE AND CONTENTED HIMSELF WITH EASY LAPS.

Deacon Litz also turned in some swift laps in his chariot early in the afternoon and was giving the boys a nice exhibition. Litz's mount is a speedy job and "winds up" nice in the stretch. The fastest ears <n IbR track apparently arc the three Packard Cable Specials. The ears have remarkable “pick-up” and roar into thr stretches from the turns at terrific speeds. It probably will hr “terrific” Saturday when Leon Dura? takes a crack at his own lap and qualifying records.

Hickey Lets Bruno Back

President Thomas J. Hickey of the American Association became merciful today and lifted the suspension that has been keeping Manager Bruno Betzel of the Indians grieving in the grandstand while his ball club has been out on the diamond stumbling into daily defeats. Betzel was to take charge of the bo;\ s again today at Toledo in the second tilt of the series with the Her.s. The Tribe pilot drew an indefinite suspension last week for using what Hickey termed harsh language toward Umpire Brown in a game at Minneapolis. Coach Johnny Corriaen. on the sick list, was unavailable to fill Betzel's duties.

Tribesmen in Second Setto With Toledo Indians Bow to Rookie Hurler in Series Opener Tuesday. D'l 1 Ones Special TOLEDO, May 22.—Outbatted again Tuesday in the series opener j with Casey Stengel's Hens, the In- | dians dropped their fourth consecu- [ five game, 5 to 4, when the locals | put across the winning run in the | ninth with one out after the Hoosiers had tied the score in their half of the last round. It doesn’t seem to make any difference who does the pitching for the 1928 champions, for their batting power is so weak the shortage of runs on their part is dismaying. Fcrd Schupp opposed the Hens for eight innings and Byron Speece hurled the ninth and was charged with the defeat. Defeated by Rookie Bud Parmalee, 21-year-old rookie, occupied the Toledo mound and allowed only eight hits, with Matthews getting two and Karl Swanson, the class D rookie, also poling a pair. Several chances to sew up the contest when runners were on base were offered the Tribesmen, but, the opportune hits could not be obtained. A bad fourth inning damaged the Indians when the infield got careless and threw the ball in erratic fashion and paved the way for two Toledo markers. There were vigorous protests by the Indians in the ninth over the scoring of the winning run. Koehler got a life when Umpire Goetz ruled that Monahan juggied Gorman's throw, and it was evident the Indians had grounds for their complaint. Close at Plate Brown sacrificed and Veach was given an intentional pass* It was a close play at the plate on Freigau's single to right and Umpire McCafferty ruled Koehler safe over violent yelps by the Indians, who declared Sprinz put the ball on the Hen runner in time for an out. And the contest ended. In addition to having bad luck with the bat, the Indians are getting the worst of the "breaks” and apparently the worst cf the umpiring. The Tribesmen made only one miscuc Tuesday and it cost them the game. Bill Burwell was acting manager in the series opener while Manager Betzel occupied a seat in the grand stand. Bruno was still under suspension by President Hickey, but the sentence was lifted today. Pitcher Lee Meadows, obtained on option from the Pirates, was due to don a Tribe uniform today. Lee may be of service, but the Indians need hitters if they are going to escape the league cellar.

race will not be started on Aug. 28 "unless the temperature of the water is 58 degrees or higher.” In event the water is colder than 58 the swim is to be postponed for one day at a time until the water warms. Ross learned ol the temperature announcement when he received his entry blank today. The men’s fifteen-mile race this year will follow a ten-mile race for women which will be held Aug. 23. Prize winners in the women's event will be permitted to enter the men's race, but no other women can enter the fifteen-mile contest.
