Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

N’ETVV YORK. June 4—Professor Robert Emmons Rogers is a tt>, c-hanried juggler of the higher forms of brain equipment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technogoly. Up till Monday he was just ? prolessor. Today he Is a gnarled bone of contentious contention. The processor made an address to a fresh grown crop of graduates that carried him overnight from the c'ns*ered obscurity of the classroom to the dancing headlines of the metropolitan gazettes. ana The professor looked the matured Boy Scouts in the eyes and advised them that the quickest way to success in any racket is to put on a swell front and adopt an elegant air. a a a HF DIDST SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HARD WORK, PERSERVERANCE. THRIFT OR PURPOSEFUL PURSUITS AND IN THIS RESPECT HIS “ALL-TALKIE ORATION WAS AS DIFFERENT FROM THE ROUTINE GRADUATING CHATTER AS ORCHIDS ARE FROM RED WHISKERS nee THE professor urged the boys to go out and get all dazzled up and look like something, implying that anybody can command simple respect in hi: own overalls but there is no limit to the territory that can he covered in a rented dinner jacket. attn Whav (he professor said about putting on the front, or the Tiffanv, as the hoys say, wasn't so very far out of bounds. Asa matter of fad, it was right down the fairway. Putting on the front is one of the oldest pastimes known fn man. or boast, and a lot of winning tickets have been paid off on sterters hearing these spurious silks. a a a IT PROBABLY IS TRUE THAT FRONTING IS MORE GENERALLY PRACTICED TODAY THAN EVER NOR WOULD IT BE SURPRISING TO LEARN THAT FRONTING FLOURISHES MORE FURIOUSLY IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. AS HAS BEEN ALLEGED. THAN ANYWHERE ELSE attn T IMAGINE the race track is the hot bed. A bland manner, a pair of binoculars, and a knowing line make up a convincing front in the sucker r ng. Thus equipped many a fat talking con' ha- fronted lumr.eif into Turk avenue. n n ,*? It ‘houhl he recorded also that fronting is not entirely unknown to the serious minded gentlemen who have the best interests of the hosing science at heart. In his younger days Jack Kearns could walk into the finest hotel in anybody’s lev u without a dime in his kicker and put on a front for you that would knock your ryes nut. TFX RICKARD WAS* NOT A BAD FRONTER HIMSELF HIS TECHNIQUE WAS ENT i'RFI " DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF KEARNS. HE EMPLOYED A STATELY FINESSE. WHERE KEARNS WENT IN FOR THE RAZZLE-DAZZLE STUFF. tt a a IN hi later days of affluence. Pickard used to iikr to recall how he maintained a suite at the Ritz and ate his infrequent meals in a basement hashery. while he was angling for a backer for the Willard-Moran fight, which marked his entry into the metropolis as a promoter. a a a “I wasn't running no big risk." he would say. I knew everything was going to turn out all right.” This is one of the most appealing features about the pastime of fronting. The fronler never runs any big risk. Nothing from nothing always lias equaled nothing.

With the Sandlotters BY BABE RUTH

N r EW YORK. June 4 —Over in Washington the other day I presented a flock of bats to James Good, secretary of war. to be used as trophies in the Citizens Military Camps throughout the country. I had quite a chance to chat with the secretary. During the conversation he paid a great compliment to baseball. and particularly to the amateur sandlot variety. “In the war department we consider sports, and particularly base-

bail, one of the greatest developers cf manhood there is." the secretary said. "Boxing, baseball and football proved their worth during the World war. and we kept the sports going at our camps ever since because we figure that the exercise and the train in g that co”3 e sos these games makes good roldiers and good

citizens." "What tio you think of baseball as s game for the kids?" I asked him. "Greatest in the world," he replied. "You know the thing about basebail is that it teaches something else besides physical fitness. It teaches boys the value of team play. It develops co-operation among the kids. It brings them in contest with other boys and it teaches them to be good sports at the same time that it teaches them self-reliance." I was glad to hear Mr. Gc-od say that. It's the very thing I've been preaching for a long time, and it's the thing the American Legions and the newspapers have in mind wnen they back the amateur kids' leagues. In other words, the kid who's out on the sandlots playing baseball with the other boys is a lot better oft than the voungster who spends his time around the street or hanging around the poolroom. Golf is a great game for kids, too —but golf is an expensive game and r.r’v a tew of the kids have a chance to play it. Baseball is different Moot any kid can afford a bail and a glove, and every vacant lot is a diamond if they want to make it one. Talk all you please, but baseball is

Kay Jewelry Silver Gift of 85 Pieces Expected to Help Encourage Indians

To help matters along at Washington park in the way of encouraging the Tribe pastimers while they are battling to get on their feet, this appears to be an opportune time to call attention to the rich gift the Kay Jewelry Company, 137 W. Washington street, is going to award the team's most valuable player at the end of the season. The player to receive the award will be selected by the vote of the sports editors ot the three dailies. It is a chest ot silver, eighty-five pieces. "Rogers 1847." valued by Kay jewelry officials at $142.25. To name the “most valuable" on this year's Tribe squad is going to be a difficult task, unless conditions chance, but the Kay award no doubt will spur the athle' s to continue fighting throughout the campaign.

Gecrge Lott, Other Davis Cup Player, to Depart June 15. OPPOSE ZONE WINNER If Triumphant Will Tangle With French. Be United Press NEW YORK. June 4—Three members of Americas youngest Davis Cup team will sail from here Wednesday for Europe on the S. S. Berengaria or the Cunard line to renew this country's bid for the international tennis trophy now held by France. The trio are John Hennessey of Indianapolis: John Van Ryn of Orange. N. J.. and Wilmer Allison of Ft. Worth. Tex. The fourth, George Lott of Chicago, will sail June 15. The Americans will meet the winner of the European zone finals for the right to play France in the challenge round for the Davis Cup. Average Age Is 24 The average age of the team members is a little over 24 years each. Hennessey, the oldest, is 28; Allison is 24 and the other two are 23. The young Yankee teapi will meet the British Davis Cup squad in exhibition matches at Eastbourne shortly after the Berugaria docks at Southampton. The Americans also will compete in the Wimbledon championships, which will be staged the week of June 24. Following the Wimbledon meet, the Americans will visit Spain for more exhibition contests. On July 18. 19 and 20, the Yanks meet the survivors of the European zone finals to decide the challenger for the Davis Cup. The matches will be played in Paris. Great Doubles Pair Hennessey, Lott and Van Ryn probably will see most of the action in the foreign Davis cup matches, according to the manner in which they have been playing recently. Hennessey and Lott are the two best singles players, with Lott perhaps a trifle steadier. In the doubles there is no doubt but that both the Indianapolis lad and the Chicago boy are the greatest pair in the United States. They hold the honor of being the national No. 1 doubles team and if I France is bothered in any manner! at ail, it is going to come from those ! two young men.

Indians Toil at Morning Practice Hoping to Clear Up Batting Eyes Two-Hour A, M. Drills in Order Until Further Notice; Parmelee Baffles Locals Monday, 5 to 2.

Batting practice every morning, from 10 to 12, and the usual batting practice every afternoon before the game. Everybody out! The above notice is tacked up in the Indianapolis clubhouse at Washington park and it’s going to stay tacked up indefinitely, or until the home pastimers begin getting some base hits. And this morning at the old ball yard the entire squad of Indians toiled with the bludgeon striving to clear up batting eyes that have been in near-total eclipse. With none of his athletes batting .300, Manager Betzel sounded the call for extra work and the late sleepers got bounced out early today and began action in the "dinner pail i league.” Trailing the A. A. in batting with a low figure, and in some cases nearly 100 hits behind other clubs in total safeties, the Indians have reached the last resort-morning workouts. Five Hits Monday Casey Stengel’s Toledo Hens colj iect::d twelve hits in the series openI er with the Indians here Monday i while Bud Parmelee, youthful right-hander, was holding the Tribe to five bingles, and another defeat was chalked against the Betzelites, 5 to 2. The Hoosiers got only one hit until the eighth inning. The second conflict was to be staged today and the Indians, always hopeful despite their weak stick wsi'k, felt confident of doing some damage. They hit hard drives Monday, but most of ’em were of the infield variety and within fiaging distance of the Hen performers. three double plays going to the credit of the visitors. Love “Greeted” Ruel Love. Tribe starting pitcher, was greeted by a Toledo bat barrage in the opening stanza and in the third round was sent to the showers, the Hen rally in that frame accounting for four runs, making their total five, for one marker was chalked to the visitors' credit in the first session. Ken Penner. who relieved Love, turned in a brilliant brand of hurling. for he blanked the Hens the remainder of the game, allowed only three hits in 6 and 2-3 innings and struck out six swatsmen. There’s no telling what sort of a contest It would have been had Penner drawn the opening asignment. Plenty of “Smoke” Wild, but effective, described Parmelee’s twirling. He issued five walks and hit two men. the two Tribe markers developing from batters struck by pitched balls. His speed was the real article, inning after inning. Toledo leaped on Love’s offerings j in the first stanza with two doubles and a triple by the first three men at bat, but only one run resulted, •because one runner was nailed trying to steal third and another was caught at the plate. But in the third Love went to pieces and passed from the picture. The Monday fracas sparkled with dandy plays on the infield by both clubs. All j Tribe inflelders turned in sensational stops j and Ibe viaitins: diamond suardians also came through with sensational work. j Matthews’ smashing infield hit in the third was the lone Tribe safety until Penner drove a hot single to left in the eighth. Sprinz had a busy day with six assists. He also had three putouts other than six gained by Penner's strikeouts. The work of the infield Monday indicates the home pastiiners still have some fight in them. Three umpires bossed the contest, Snyder. .Johnston and Connolly. Tongo ,?oc Cantillon. supervisor of A. A. umpires, j viewed the game and tha work of the officials from an upper box. Tongo has been in the city several days. The Three-I League Is class B. The American Association is class AA. And what a whale of a differeno*. Outfielder j Len Koenecke proved a “bust" with the ] 1929 Indians after rattling the boards during spring training. Late Saturday he was shipped to Quincy in the Three-I loop. His first game with the Quinces was Monday and in four legal times at bat he collected two home runs, a triple and single. His | performance nearly caused Manager Wal- j ter Holke to go on a celebration spree— j and he doesn't touch the stuff. In the ; same game Holke went hitless in four efforts and Baby Doll Jacobson got only one swat in four tries. And now it is feared the case of Koenecke may explain the secret of low batting averages on the part of some of the other Indians—meaning the A. A. this year is too fast for them. However, there may be a stiver lining as in the case of the Giants. They went to the deepths tn the National League and then j bounced back and have won eleven of thier I last twelve starts.

their certified checks with requests for “ the first few rows" are going to be somewhat disappointed. They will get the “first few rows,” but according to Madison Square Garden's interpretation of the location. Who is to say who gets the front rows, and who. for his SSO, finds himself in row 25? Address your remarks to W. F. Carey, care of Madison Square Garden. It may be the bliss of ignorance, cut Bill tackled the job today in high humor. Bill has yet to learn “what a whale of a difference just a few rows make.’ 1
