Babe Ruth Says: •Gone Are the Days of Clubhouse Quartets.’

have when I was a kid breaking into the league. I wonder what has become o t the old-time quartets now. Maybe it was prohibition that stopped them At any rate ball players don’t sing any more the way they used to. and there isn’t any more of that clubhouse harmony you used to hear when the boys had finished their showers. A lot of Gld-ti<ie players could sing like the dickens. The Giants, for instance used to have a quartet that had a reputation all over the circuit And the Cubs used to have a bearcat, too. Nowadays, that’s all over There isn’t a barber shop chord in a carload of present-day ball players, and instead of trying tenor notes the fellows spend their time looking over market reports and figuring stock percentages.

It's Just another tip-off on how baseball and ball players have changed through the years. Fifteen years ago players were a carefree lot of kids who took the breaks a~ they came, grinned ever them, and forgot. Today they're just a lot of young business men, attending strictly to •heir business, and playing baseball, not because they love to play baseball, but just because baseball gives them a chance to make more money, and quicker, than they could make it at anything else. Which, I suppose, is a good thieg for the game. A young collegian, fresh from college, and polished and cultured and gentlemanly, is a lot better for baseball than the Rube Waddells, end the ’Bugs” Raymonds. But Id like to see a few more Raymonds. just the same. They might not add any culture to the game.

EVENTUALLY-ASPHALT i You would not wear a shoe without a sole with the thought of providing it later. It is likewise poor policy to subject any kind of a pavement to the damaging effect of heavy vehicle traffic and temperature changes without an Asphalt protective wearing surface. Asphalt is waterproof and expands and contracts with- . out injury. It is resilient, serves as a cushion, takes up the shock of heavy loads and prevents disintegration of the base. Already it has become necessary to surface with Asphalt some concrete streets and state highways, to reduce maintenance cost and to preserve the pavement as a foundation. % Your pavement will eventually have an Asphalt surface. Insist on having it in the beginning, on a foundation especially designed for that purpose and avoid the necessity of surfacing a shattered foundation. Add a little to the cost and not be embarrassed by the necessity of paying on a second pavement before the first is paid for. ASPHALT PUBLICITY BUREAU

CHICAGO. July 10—Looking through the papers the other day I happened to come across a cartoon of the late Tad's, showing an old clubho.use quartet whaling the dickens out of “Sweet Adeline.” It set me to thinking of the old Boston Red Sox and the corking quartet the boys used to

but, believe me, they’d give it a lot of color and excitement. I was talking with Joe Tinker, the old Cub shortstop, the other day and Joe commented on how players have changed. Joe is one of the fellows who liked a bit of close harmony along with his beer, and a few bars of ''Sweet Adeline” with his shower bath. We were watching the boys take hitting practice and when Sam Byrd came up I remarked to Joe that there was one of the best golf players in baseball. “Babe," Joe said, and he was serious, too. “If a guy had come along in the old days packing a set of golf clubs and wearing knee pants, you know what would hav6 happened. The guys would have murdered him. that's what!" iCoDvright. 1929, by The Times!

Tony's Victory Over Phil McGraw Tuesday Night Proves Costly. HANDICAP IN TRAINING Collision Causes Painful Damage to Optic. BOUT NOT POSTPONED CHICAGO, July 10.—The lightweight championship fight between Tony Canzoneri and Sammy Mandeli will be held Aug. 2, as scheduled, Paddy Harmon, promoter, announced today. Harmon said he had talked with Sam Goldman, Canzoneri’s manager, over long-distance and Goldman said the injury to Canzoneri’s eye was not as serious as at first thought. lip I'nitrfJ press NEW YORK. July 10.—Postponement of the lightweight championship match between Sammy Mandell, 135-pound king, and Tony Canzoneri, challenger, at Chicago Aug. 2, was in prospect today as the result of an eye injury received by Canzoneri against Phil McGraw, Detroit Greek, in a ten-round bout at the Queensboro stadium Tuesday night. Canzoneri won every round and did everything but knock out the tough trial-horse of the lightweight division, but the victory was a costly one. McGraw opened a severe cut over Canzoneri’s right eye in a skirmish near the ropes in the sixth round. The wound bled profusely and the westerner aggravated it by concentrating his attack in that region during the last four rounds. Maddened by the Injury, Canzoneri did everything in his power to stop McGraw during the last four rounds, but he was unable to bring the rugged Detroit boy down. Several times McGraw was staggering and groggy, but he remained on his feet to the final bell. A collision, rather than a blow from McGraw’s fists, seemed to have caused the damage to Canzoneri’s eye, although they were punching at each other in close quarters when the blood first appeared.

Bottomley on Homer Spree ’Sunny Jim’ Wallops Eight in Seven Games. Bn Tnitert Prrua BROOKLYN, N. Y.. July 10.—Jim Bottomley, star first baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals, is off on a home run orgy which threatens to hoist him to the major league home run leadership. Bottomley has hit eight home runs in the last seven games in five consecutive days against the Pirates and Phillies. Bottomley’s streak of homers tied the record of six homers in four consecutive games held jointly by Babe Ruth, Ken Williams and George Kelly and seven homers in five games held by Ruth and Kelly. Bottomley is tied with Lou Gehrig for second place among the major league home run hitters, each with twenty-two. Mel Ott of the Giants is the leader with twenty-four. Bottomley started his streak in the first game ot a double-header against the Pirates July 4. He hit another the next day against the Phillies, and on July 6 hit three homers in a double bill. After an off day he hit one July 8 and two Tuesday—the last one coming with two men on in the tenth inning and winning the game. , FILLY TAKES FEATURE CHICAGO.

Fistic Chief Opens Probe Paul Prehn Says He Will ‘Clean Game.’ /?;/ fr, ited Pres/ CHICAGO, July 10.—Around Chicago’s loop district, where prize fighters and their business directorbuzz their daily gossip of the resin ring, there was a very pgrceptible stir today. For these fighters and their business directors awoke to discover that Paul Prehn, chairman of the Illinois athletic commission, president of the National Boxing Association, and general high mogul of the fistic sport in all states except New York and one or two others, has announced in effect that he is reach to “clean up the fight business.” Prehn’s charge reads as follows. “Under the present method of doing business, unless the manager agrees to give a per cent of the purse to some fixer, the boxer is unable to get on the card. Many hoys are unable to get bouts unless they stand for a shakedown. Quite often preference is given to men of mediocre ability because they readily consent, to the shakedown." New York Moguls Suspend German Bn I'n '/( and I'rexs NEW YORK. July 10. Max Schmeling, German heavyweight, has been suspended indefinitely by the New York State athletic commission for failing to carry out his agreement to meet Phil Scott, champion of England, at Ebbets Field, Aug. 2. Joe Jacobs, accepted by Schmeling as his only manager, also was suspended. Schmeling refuses to go through with the Scott match, because it was made for him by Arthur Bulow, his rejected manager.
