Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

N r EW YORK July 6.—Baseball's most ridiculous sham —the pop up horn' 1 run— c eems headed for the nearest ex;‘ gate. Word comes from St. Louis that the distressed club owners ou* f her<* are erecting a wire wall in front of the bleachers to mirimire the daily production of bogus homers. This is one of those ’-Vgnlficant actions since it is the first s**p 'ha* has b*en taken to discourage home run hitting since the •. 1 r*Ji of the kangaroo ball in 1921. a b a Tt is particularly significant ‘ince it comes at a time when St. I ouis. ordinarily a boisterously enthusiastic baseball city, is showing cnlv a mild academic interest in the Brown* and the Cards. oan MR PHILLIP DECATRBY BALL WHO OWNS THE AMERICAN LEAGUF FRANCHISE AND MP SAMVEL BREA DON WHO OWN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE FRAN-* CHISE APPEAR TO HAVE DECIDED THAT THE CHEAP HOME RUN IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE CUSTOMERS ARE I BEGINNING TO DRIFT AWAY FROM THE TURNSTILES. IT HAS BEEN OFTEN DEMONSTRATED THAT THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN REASON WITH A BASEBALL MAGNATE IS THROUGH HIS BANK ROLL. • a a F'OR the past eight or nine years the magnates have bent over backwards trying to pack their daily natincc* with home runs. There was such a tremendously popular reaction l/> the primitive slugging of Mr. George Herman Ruth that the magnates decided to capitalize on the public hysteria provoked by this new senation. a a a That the ball was deliberately hopped up on orders from the magnates to give it greater length ard resiliency is perfectly obvious. What was a one-base hall hark in the pitching days of Matheuson, Walsh and Brown became a four-base ball. Which is to say it. went about three times as far and fast as it did in the old days. a a a POME OF THF PARKS WERF SMALL TO BEGIN WITH AND THESE PROMPTLY BECAME CENTERS OF HOME RUN ACTIVITY. OTHERS LESS FORTUNATE ARCHITECTURALLY WERE REMODELED TO FIT THE CURRENT NEEDS. tt a a THE home run in its present character doesn't, mean anything. In the main it is composed of synthetic ingredients, chief among which are the lively ball and the shortened outfields, it Is the club owner's attempt to provide anew and continuous turnstile lure for the customer. For a while the arrangement brought the desired yield, despite the obvious spurionsness of of the thing: but now there are crowing evidences that the pendulum is beginning to swing back the other way. a a a Baseball's counterfeiters have trade the home run too common. What was once a weekly rarity is now something more than a daily ''reurrenee. One team will make ;s many home runs in a season's c'ny these days as the whole etgue used to make fifteen years go. Tlie magnates have taken she game's most dramatic feature end cheapened ii to a point where i Is without distinction or uniqueness. a a a TT USED TO BE THAT THF BUSINESS OF HOME RUNNING WAS RESERVED SOLELY FOR THF GOLIATHS OF THE iAMF. BUT NOW THE BAT BOY CAN C.O UP TO THE PLATE AND SWING FOP V.UTH AND HE TB .H T ST AS LIKELY TO PASTE ONE OVER THF CENTER FIELD WALL AS NOT IT IS NO LONGER AN!

Pennant Hopes of Giants Rest on Success of Home Stand

Clay Court Competition Resumed at Woodstock; Bell, Seligson in Battle Rain Halts Friday Play With Texan Leading New Yorker; Pare, Hall Advance to Semi-Finals of Tourney.

BY DICK MILLER In an effort to catch up with schedule and start the semi-final matches this afternoon as scheduled, officials conducting the national clay

court, tennis championships at the Woodstock Club, ordered remaining games of the two quarter-final matches, unfinished when rain and darkness interfered Friday, played this morning. Emmett Pare of Chicago had disposed of Heroert Bowman of New’ York City in three straight sets. 7-5. 7-5 and 6-2. making his semi-final position secure. J. G. Hall of South Orange. N. J.. had accomplished the greatest upset of the tournament when he defeated FTitz Mercur of Bethlehem, Pa., 7-5. 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, making him a semi-finalist. The stage was set for Julius Selig-son-Berke!ey Bell match. Bryan Grant Jr. of Atlanta Ga., and Keith Gledhill of Santa Barbara. Ca„ had taken the other court for their quar-ter-final mtach and Grant had won the first, 6-1. Win on Service Bell served first and won the game Seligson retaliated and won his service. After Bell won his third service and led, three games to two, it began to rain. The tournament manager postponed the match for a few minutes. As Bell walked from the courts he remarked that he had met Seligson three times in actual combat and never had won. The rain let up and play was re sumed. Grant and Gledhill hurried out and the little southerner won the second set. 7-5. Gledhill started coming to the net and won the third set, 6-4.

In the meantime Bell and Seligson resumed play and each continued to win their own services. That, continued until Bell crashed through Seligson’s service and won the first set, 8-6. That seemed to give the Texan confidence and as the second set progressed he improved. His service was better, his placements were excellent and he worked in chop shots to make his game more superior. Bell annexed the second set,, 6-2. and combined rain and darkness caused definite postponement of both matches until this morning. When Mercer and Hall, friends and doubles partners, took the counts, it was apparent, that the winner would be the man who best controlled his drives to the corner and to the baseline. Mercur seemed more steady at the outset, but lost first set, 7-5. Douhles Matches Carded Mercur came back and sent some pretty side line shots across and won the next set, 6-4. Hall began to find the range on his returns from the base line and played great tennis to win the third set. 6-4. Mercur seemed to lose hope and as the fourth set progressed his attempts seemed half hearted as he couldn't get a shot placed. Hall won the set. 7-5.

SOUTH BEND. Ind„ July 6.—The fine victory of the great Columbia ! crew in the Poughkeepsie regatta

was a distinct triumph for the east. Successive triumphs of Pacific coast invaders in football track and crew had become rather irritating and this, no doubt, had its effect in arousing the Columbia crew to supreme | heights.

Nevertheless, it is just as well, for the east was entitled to its victory. Whether or not this year's Columbia crew is as great as last year’s California outfit, always will be a debatable question. The effect of Columbia’s victory will be to spur on the cast to further triumphs and will give the Pacific coast something to shoot at a year from now. (Copyright. 1929. by The Times!

time, thej’ let down and lose a lot of ball games they should have won. That slump with the Athletics is overdue and it seemed to me I saw some signs of it the last time we met Connie Mack's club. The signs

weren't much but they were there. There seemed to be just a slight tendency of the pitchers to ease up, a suggestion of tightening up on the part of the infielders and a sort of falling off on the part of the hitters. Don’t misunderstand me. I'm not trying to belittle the Athletics nor whistle up a scrap by talking about the Yankees' chances. The point I'want to make is simply that no matter how good any team is there always ernes a letdown period during some portion of the season. And the A.’s are showing signs that their slump is here now. How serious it may be remains to be seen. I don't- know that it will be long enough to give the other teams a chance. And even though its a long one I don't know that the Yankees or any other club will be strong enough to take advantage of it. But the point is that if any American League club is going to give the A's a battle they'll have to do it within the next three or four weeks. After that it will be too late.

New Yorkers’ Chance to Make Bid Is at Hand. ‘face strong rivals Failure May Eliminate Clan of McGraw. BY WILIAM J. DUNN. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July 6.—The New York Giants are back at the Polo Grounds today for a protracted stay, ready to make a serious bid for the National League leadership. The Giants are faced with the necessity not only of beating the other contending clubs in the last half of the season, but also of besting a schedule that decidedly favors : Pittsburgh and Chicago. Their pen- * nant chances may be decided within the next three weeks. The Giants, in third place, four and a half games behind the leading Pirates, have only 40 games remaining with the weaker second division clubs. Chicago has 59 and Pittsburgh, 55, including today's contest. Must Do It Now Accordingly, it is imperative that Charlie Stoneham’s bread winners make the most of their 16-day stand under the shadow of Coogan s Bluff. Unless the Giants come out of this on top of the heap it will be hard to picture them coming home in front next September. Brooklyn opposes the Giants today before moving along to Flatbush for a long stay of its own. Sunday the first of the western clubs, Cincinnati, reaches the Polo Grounds for a four game series. Then follow Chicago, St. Louis and Pittsburgh, in order. St. Louis has been in a terrific slump, fighting vainly against a losing streak that has cost the Cardinals ten straight games. They are due to syving back into form before many more days, however, and it is more than probable that they will be ready to avenge their reverses when they reach this city. Pirates Real Test Pittsburgh, leading the league and winning consistently, looks as tough as any team in the league today, and while battling the Cubs and Cardinals, McGraw will have to hold back a little strength fer the final series. McGraw is faced with a battle uphill all the way to the finish line and from today onward all victories are doubly precious. If the Giants can outfight the western team alone —they can not expect much help from the other eastern clubs—they will be in position to start a victorious drive down the stretch. On the other hand, should they fail to win better than half their games with the four invaders, it will be almost safe to count them out of the race, conceding them a place close to the top.

brought Temple university from rank obscurity to national prominence. Recently he said: “This idea of having the football players work hard in the summer time is all wrong. I do not let my boys at Temple do it. and I believe they were in as good a condition last fall as any college eleven in the country. “College students, especially athletes, should take it easy during the summer. Studies alone mentally tire a student, and when he takes part in athletics he also becomes physically fatigued. If the football and other athletes would be satisfied to stay at home and just exercise enough to ward Oil excess poundage, they would fina themselves better able to cope with the situations that arise in athletic and scholastic endeavors.” Only eight of the squad of thirtyseven which will be taken to the fall training camp at Atlantic City are working at jobs where more brawn than brains are required. The remainder are either woking at easy jobs or taking Miller's advice and not doing work of any nature.
