Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Aug. 5 I HAVE been assured that the gentlemen who control major league baseball will appoint a board of inquiry to consider the question of the so-called lively ball and its correlatives at the annual winter meetings. There is a great deal of theory and supposition about the desirability of the present character of the game. It is difficult to tell just where the blame lies for the excess of hitting. Such obvious factors as the abolition of trick deliveries and the passing of the place hitter of course help to explain the mounting base hit totals. But one day a pitcher will pitch a four-hit game and the next time he starts be buried under a snowdrift of triples. a a a If the ball la the same. how are these startling form reversals, frequent enough In both leagues, to be explained? Moreover, does it make a great deal of difference one way or another? a a a THE RECENT NEW YORK TELEGRAM POLL DEVELOPED MANY ENTHUSIASTIC ADVOCATES OF THE LOOSE HITTING BALL GAME AND MANY MORE WHO CONDEMN IT. I AM NOT. SURE PRECISELY WHAT A BOARD OF INQUIRY CAN DO ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. IF ANYTHING. a a a BUT there is one thing that such a board can, and should do, and that is to come out for uniform outfield distances. To my mind this is the most ridiculous phase of the home run hysteria. In the old days it didn’t matter particularly. There was no commercial stress on the four-base hit. But now it is strictly a box office come on. a a a In the Red Sox park a batter has to alam the ball 358 feet to reach the right field stands. At the Yankee stadium a drive of 294 feet will get there. In Cincinnati the distance from plate to right field is 383 feet and at the Polo Grounds the distance is a mere 257 feet. What could be more absurd? a a a Wei!, we can’t tear down our ball parks and r •b'lild them Just becau~ some of the s'and.; happen to be close to the plate, roar the magnates. Nobody is asking them to tear the parks down and rebuild them; but wh.it tn the name of common sense is to prevent them from limiting hits into short stands all over the league to two bases? a a a IN the smaller parks when the crow’ds overflow onto the field, ground rules are put into effect and balls driven into the crowd are automatically scored as two-base hits. The theory in these instances is that if the crow’d wasn't there the outfielder would have caught the ball. The same theory applies with equal logic to the short stands; if they weren’t there the outfielders would catch pop-ups that go for home runs. a a a I don’t believe old Gus H. Fan gets a kick out of these phoney homers and about the only distinction accruing to tbe player who hits one Is that it is scored as such in the records. Well, this Is the last abnorminal squawk I'll make about the 10 cent home run and the loaded ball this season. Did I hear someone say, "Thank Gawd!

New York or Detroit to Get Sharkey-Schmeling Go in September

‘Fourth Place Derby’ Sees Indians Still Ahead of Colonels and Senators Tribe Wins Two and Drops One Over Week-End in Thrillers With Louisville; Sprinz and Monahan Hit for Circuit and Shine on Defense. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor

Making good in their season’s act entitled “Staying Ahead of the Colonels,” the Indians of Bruno Betzel beat off the pursuing pastimers from Derbytown over the week-end to the extent to two victories against one defeat, the Saturday fracas going to the home nine, 7 to 4, the first tilt Sunday, 9 to 4, and the last encounter being snared by the visitors, 3 to 1, when Joe Deberry held the Tribesmen to four hits, Monahan’s home run over the low fence near the score board preventing a shutout.

It’s sort of a 168-game race, this Lcuisville-Indianapolis affair, for nearly all year the Hoosiers have managed to hang on to fourth place with the Colonels in close pursuit.

1 1% t m

Columbus, the other entry in the “fourth place derby,” lost ground Sunday by being upset twice by Toledo after slipping into fifth place Saturday. Anyway, some of the old Hoosier-Hill Billy feud is noticeable during the current series out at the West Washington street playground and about 4,700 fans got their money’s worth of

entertainment Sunday. Speece starred in the relief role Saturday, going in for Teachout, and stopping the enemy cold while the Indians crept up from behind to win. In the twin bill opener Sunday Schupp eased through to victory despite the fact Louisville nicked him for fourteen blows. It si happened, however, that Indianapolis got fourteen hits and Joe Sprinz drove in five runs. He smote a triple and homer. Joe’s triple went to the right field comer and his circuit smash to deep center, two mates being on board when he blasted this poke. Sprightly Sprinz was no sphinx and tagged out three runners at the plate by hugging the sphere in exciting plays. Scout Larry Sutton

of Brooklyn and Manager Ownie Bush of the Pirates viewed the pastiming and got a good eyeful of Joe. Pete Monahan was a bearcat all day around the initial sack, and his nifty fielding stunts moved the populace to gasp in wonder and amazement. He’s the

Sprinz

greatest fielding first baseman this town has seen. Nothing is too tough for agile Pete to tackle. Deberry was the pitching berries in the nightcap Sunday and ip six of the nine innings cnly three Indians faced him. Monahan, Barnhart. Warstler and Matthews were the only Indians to get one safe off him and he received fine backing by his mates. He caused Barnhart to bounce into two double plays. The rivals were to stage another struggle today, the finale of the series, and it was “ladies’ and kids’ days.’’ The Colonels still hold a big edge on the year’s battles with the Indians, despite the fact they’re one position lower in the race. In fifteen meetings Louisville has won ten tilts and Indianapolis five. Including today’s, nine clashes remain to be played between the pair. Minneapolis invades the Tribe premises Tuesday for four games.

Rue! love's flinglrg wasn’t bad by any means, but It was bis bad luck that he was competing against Deberry. Teachout pitched the ninth of the second Sabbath fray. There was a scramble at second base In the fifth of the second contest when Olivares slid bevond the bag on a steal and Connolly made a diving tag to win the decision. Two Colonels were nailed at the plate in the fifth of the first game. Fine throws by Barnhart and Monahan got Moss on Simons' double. A fine stop bv Connolly back on the grass was wasted when Schupp was slow in getting over to cover first on Smith's hard grounder in the opening round of No. 1 game. Tesmer had to eateh both games for Louisville Sunday, because Ray Thompson was on the sick list. Ra had a touch of ptomaine poisoning and wasn't in uniform. Loftus made the greatest play of the series when he raced far back in the first inn'.ng of the second Sunday struggle and snared Barnhart’s drive with his bare hand. It was one of those “impossible” catches. The sphere probably would have bounced over the fence had not Loftus speared it. Simons was poison to the Hoosiers all afternoon with a triple, double, single and walk in the first encounter and a double and single in the wind-up. Deberrv got into a terrible hole in the eighth, but refused to crack and brought sorrow to Tribe fans by working out of it Warstler opened it with a double, Connollv filed to Loftus and Spring batted for Riddle and walked. Burwell batted for Love and Deberry erased him on strikes. Branom made a fine stop of Matthews' hot shot and held it to a single, filling the bases. And then Deberry fanned Layne on a sharp curve. In the seventh inning of the first Sabbath contest six Colonels batted without a run scoring. Olivares beat out a hit and Tesmer singled. Olivares stopping at second. Manager Sothoron made a move to send up a hitter for Moss, but changed his mind and a peculiar double play occurred Tesmer was erased on Moss’ grounder. Warstler to Connolly ard Connolly threw low to first trying fcr Moss, and when Olivares endeavored to score he was out on a quick recovery of the wild heave. Monahan to Sprinz. Simons and Sicking walked, filling the bases, and Smith flied to retire the side. Pitcher Claude Jonnard. obtained by the Indians in the Ken Per.ner deal with the Chicago Cubs, failed to put in appearance Sundav as promised He probably is coming to Indianapolis by way of Medicine Hat. The chances are he is mof.ning over losing out with the likely National League pennant winners. PYLE FACES LAW SUIT Promoter of Bunion Derby in Trouble for Not Paying: Helpers.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Efforts Launched to Work Around Adverse Ruling in Gotham. ■ - ■■ MAXIE BARS TWO MEN Won’t Meet Phil Scott or Tommy Loughran. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Aug. s.—Since fight fans of the United States are anxious to have the heavyweight situation clarified, the following | facts are set forth: ! Jack Sharkey of Boston arid Max Schmeling of Germany will meet in September under the auspices of : Madison Square Garden in a bout ito decide who shall be named as | Gene Tunney’s successor. The fight will take place either in New York or Detroit. Heeney Mentioned The New York state athletic commission will be asked to approve Tom Heeney, Tunney’s last opponent, as a suitable opponent for Schmeling at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Sept. 4. If the commission agrees and Schmeling defeats the New Zealander, the German will box Sharkey at Yankee stadium on Sept. 26. William Muldoon, dean of the New York commission, is on record as ready to insist upon Tommy Loughran, present light heavyweight champion, as Schmeling’s next opponent provided the present arrangements to avoid Phil Scott, British heavyweight, are carried through. In case Muldoon persuades the commission to substitute Loughran for Scott, whom Schemling refuses to meet, the Geiunan’s handlers will decline the match. Max’s Handlers Careful If the New York commissioners insist that Max must box Scott or Loughran for Humbert J. Fugazy before meeting Sharkey, there is no chance of the bout to decide the heavyweight title being held in New York, Schmeling’s handlers believe Loughran would “make Max look bad.” They have the same feeling about Phil Scott. W. F. Carey, president of Madison Square Garden, is anxious to have Schmeling meet Sharkey in this city, but is prepared to stage the affair in Detroit if satisfactory arrangements can not be made here. Using the Olympia A. C. as a “dummy,” the Madison Square Garden Corporation has obtained Sept. 19 as a date for a Sharkey-Schmeling fight in Detroit. New Champ Says He’ll Box Winner Bn United Press NEW YORK, Aug. s.—Jackie Fields, the new welterweight champion, has agreed to defend his title against the winner of the bout between Sammy Baker of Mitchel Field and Baby Joe Gans of California, who meet Tuesday night at the Queensboro stadium.
