Talking It Over WITH JOfc WILLIAMS
NEW YORK June 6.—There are intimations in the sports news that Judge Emii Fuchs i nred of it all. I am distressed to hear this. I had hoped the good judge would make a success of managing the Boston Braves It would have served to strenghten my contention that anybody who knows when the side is out can manage a ball club, and conversely, that. th<* popular theory that a successful manager must be a cross between an oriental mystic and a seventh '-on is largely the hooey. a b a You may recall the judge look hold of the Braves in the spring witheui previous benefit of experience either as player or manager. He explained that he had been watching ball games all his life and that, in a general way, he felt reasonably confident he was familiar with all the drliratr shadings of what is called the profound strategy of the ball field. 808 IN VIEW OF WHICH BELIEF THE JUDGE WHO 13 ALSO THE OWNER OF THE CLUB APPOINTED HIMSELF THE MANAGER FOP. BETTER OR FOR WORSE •I PAID A MAN M 2.000 TO MANAGE THE CLUB LAST YEAR AND HE WOUND UP IN THE CELLAR. ' REASONED THE JUDGE T CAN'T DO ANY WORSE AND I CAN DO IT MUCH CHEAPER ' n a a 170 R a few weeks the judge .F seemed to be getting somewhere but now he is back within nudging distance of eighth place and unless the law of gravity gets tangled up in some nonpartisan obstruction, he will reach the end of the line before the month is out. BBS The Judge intimates that he will remove himself very shortly from the riugout and resume his daily occupation of thumb twiddling in the presidential box. Os course the depressing fact that the Judge has failed to produce a winner in Boston does not definitely prove a layman is not qualified to run a ball club. There are several extenuating circumstances in the Judge’s case. B B B TO BEGIN THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THAT THE BRAVES ARE. OR EVER WERE A BALL CLUB. ALL THAT' THIS ISOLATED EXPERIMENT MAY BE BAID TO PROVE IS THAT THE JUDGE WAS NO WORSE THAN HIS 512.000 PREDECESSOR. B B B INCIDENTALLY this ,-ccms to be a discouraging year for the sons of Blackr.tone in baseball. Mr. Jack Hendricks, who manages the Cincinnati Red;, also started out in life as a lawyer. B B B At the present writing Mr. Hendricks is disputing with the Judge and Mr. Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyn Robinsons for the right to spend the summer months in the cellar, a determination which, if she public prints are to be believed. is not universally popular with his Ohio constituency. INDEED THEFT 13 TALK THAT MR. KENDRICKS IS TO GO. AM? WHEN TALK OF THIS SORT GETS UNDER WAV TN THE RHIx-rr AND SOMETHING OF A RADICAL NATURE GENERALLY HAPPENS

Senator Swatters Here Friday Following Last Tilt With Hens Today Three Games in Trine Series With Columbus: Betzelites Collect Twelve Hits Wednesday and Nose Out Toledo; Skidmore Goes Route.
Indian: and Hens were to wind up their series today with a fourth tilt and on Friday, “ladies’ day," Nemo Leibolds Columbus Senators will invade the local park for three games. The Buckeyes are in seventh place, but 'hey have a bunch of swatters who make life miserable for opposing pitchers. In five battles with the Leibold crew' at Columbus recently the Betzelites won three and lost two. Coming out of their batting slump Tuesday by collecting fifteen hits, the Tribe pastimers produced again Wednesday and gathered twelve bingies and tacked up a second straight, win, 6 to 5, Leo Skidmore going the route on the local mound. Stengel Chased Manager Stengel of the Toledo team was banished in the seventh for riding the umpires and the 700 customers got a big laugh when Casey goose-stepped out of sight. Herman Layne drove in the winning run in the eighth after the Hens had knotted the score at 5-all and it was his third hit. He smashed

out a triple and two singles, drew one walk and stole two bases. Matthews and Metz also got three safeties apiece, one ol Matty’s blows going to the scoreboard in right for two bases, and it was this wallop that developed into the winning marker. Wid also drew a walk, made one sacrifice hit and stole two sacks. Loss Against Zahniser Lucas hurled for Toledo seven in- ; nings, giving way for a pinch hitter | in the eighth, and Zahniser hurled \ one stanza and got charged with the defeat. | The Indians piled up five runs the : first two innings before Lucas could settle down, and the Hens didn't catch up until the eighth, and then only to see the game pass back into Tribe hands. Bobby Veach blasted a homer into the center field bleachers in the fifth with Koehler on i base. Another Hen. prominent was ; catcher McCurdy, who had a perfect day at bat with three hits and | a walk. Shorty Thomas went hitless before Skidmore, but he was active on the diamond and accepted twelve chances without a miss. Connolly, also played great ball at second for the Tribe. Wish thr Indians one run to the Rood in the ninth Leo Skidmore tightened and erased the top of the Hens hatting list in one. two. three order. Xeun filed to I.ayne, Koehler fouled to Warstler, who turned in a fine catch, and Brown popped a foul to Metz. A Warstler wild throw ‘ set the table" for reach's homer in the fifth, otherwise | the Hens would have been blanked that inning. Barnhart’s triple in the first was out near the flag pole and it nearly went over the low fence. Barney was passed twice with men on base. He was struck by a pitched ball his second time up. The Indians failed to hit with men on bases from the second until the eighth. Toledo executed three doubla plays during the fracas. The Tribe fourth was a riot. With Matthews on third and Layne on second, and one out. after Matty had pilfered second and third and Layne second, Barnhart bounced to Freigau and Matty was trapped between third-and home, a rundown play developing that retired the side. Matty dashed back to third and beyond. toward left field, and was ruled out for leaving the base line. Layne had reached third, but lost his bearings and sprinted back toward second with the Hens in pursuit. In the meantime Barnhart kept, running and reached second, but was driven back by Layne. who evaded his pursuers. Matty unaware he i was out. got back on the base line and crossed the plate. Failing to get Layne. the Hens started in pursuit of Barnhart and Layne got. under way again and ran to third and headed for home, but Right Fielder Koehler had reached the diamond by that time and snared a throw and tagged Barnhart an instant before Layne crossed the plate. The ball was passed around so much and to so many players the fans were dizzy. Monahan crashed a dead liner at 1 Thomas in the third and Sprinz way dou- | hied off first. It was a terrific clout. Sprinz made a fine run to snare Thomas’ foul beyond the Tribe dugout in the second. Koehler, Hen right fielder, had seven putouts and two assists. This athlete owns a great arm and he is accurate with ft. He pegged out Barnhart at the plate j after a fly in the first and nailed Metz at ! second trying for tivo sacks in the'seventh.

THE IMHAEAPOUS TIMES
Everett Case, Frankfort Coach, Slated to Tell ‘What He Knows/ SPRADLING CUTS LOOSE Alleges Offer Made by Boilermaker School. BY BERT DEMBY, I riled Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 6—Next to the question of “Who got the money?” the predominant subject in discussions of the Big Ten athletic situation today was “where, if any place, will the athletic committee strike , next?” The hulabaloo. which arose ten days ago when the Big Ten committee suspended lowa on charges of subsidizing athletes, seems to have moved eastward and today it apI peared, if reports were correct, that, evidence tending to implicate Purdue would be placed before the com- . mittee. Just what the evidence is was not ; definitely known but Coach Everett Case of the Frankfort find.) high school was to appear before Major John L. Griffith. Big Ten athletic j commissioner to tell what he "knows | about Purdue.” Credits Started Affair i Case, incensed because his name ■ figured in the lowa charges, to the extent that he was alleged to have i received credits from lowa in return | for influencing athletes to attend the : Hawkeye institution, countered with I the statement that the lowa charge was preferred against him because he had refused to “send” his high i school stars to Purdue. If the attitude of 'you told on i me. now I’ll tell on you" persists, j , Griffith may have ?„ man's size job lon his hands. It is his job to inves- | tigate any athletic; irregularity. All Expenses Paid? Young Bob Spradling. now an | lowa basketball player, reportedly backed his former coach at Frank- | fort by saying that he had been ! “approached” to attend Purdue in 1926. He said he had gone to lowa because he liked the commerce school there better. Spradling, in an interview said the lure to Purdue was an “ail-expenses-paid” proposition. Meanwhile, the town of Frankfort, which has a reputation for pro- j ducing exceptionally good basketball j players, got behind Case. Dr. Edward Fulham, president of the Frankfort board of education, reportedly attributed the trouble to “jealously among Big Ten coaches as to whom shall receive our stars.” “Many have visited our town and there are no lines of demarcation,” he said. He characterized the charge that Case had traded players for credits as “preposterous.” MARTIN 1930 CAPTAIN B’l Times Bnerinl LAFAYETTE. Ind„ June 6.—Orval Martin.
