TRIBESMEN DICKER WITH SOX FOR TWO PLAYERS

Dawson Is Ousted by Golf Heads Popular Chicago Star ‘Too Good,’ Loses Amateur Standing. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 10.—Johnny Dawson of Chicago today stands as an example of a young man who became too good for his job. Recognized generally as one of six best golfers in the world, the popular young Chicagoan finds himself not only barred from the northsouth championships, in w'hich he already had shared the qualifying medal, but deprived of his amateur standing in all tournaments under the jurisdiction of the United States Golf Association. His case threatened for a time to become a “cause celebre,” but, owing to the youngster’s inherent sportsmanship it may be overlooked. Dawson has been declared ineligible because of his connection with a nationally known sporting goods house. He went to work for this concern when he didn’t know a pivot from a caddy, but since that time his game has improved to such an extent that he is considered a professional. If Johnny had remained a dub the question of his amateur standing never would have been raised. This much is admitted by H. H. Ramsay vice-president of the U. S. G. A., chairman of the tournament committee of that organization. Dawson’s disbarment from the north-south amateur championships at Pinehurst was effected under conditions reflecting little credit upon those concerned. W. C. Fownes Jr. of the U. S. G. A., himself a competitor in the tournament, was responsible. Fownes advised Dawson that a letter from Prescott Bush, secretary of the parent organization of golf in this country, stated the Chicagoan was not an amateur. Johnny promptly withdrew.

Ace Traded

OURLEIGH GRIMES, righthanded ace of the Pittsburgh Pirates mound staff, may be going some place, but he isn’t sure. The veteran, who won seventeen and lost seven for the Smoky City pastimers last season, was traded Wednesday night to the Boston Braves, but doesn’t figure to stay there long. Manager Bill McKechnie is looking for a catcher and infielder, and if a good proposition is made, probably will ship the big pitcher on to some other point. Grimes has been a salary holdout all spring. Several National League clubs are reported to have attempted to obtain his services, including the Cubs, Reds and Cards.

was brought about by the work of Lee Keyser, president of the club, who attended many night football games last fall, who reasoned that if football can draw at night, so can baseball. Keyser rigged up an elaborate flood-lighting system w-hich is expected to make the field as bright as day. The system consists of 146 floodlights mounted in batteries on 90-foot steel towers. Behind the grandstand, directly back of home plate, are two of the towers, each with a battery of thirteen projectors. Another tower is located so as to throw its rays across first base and another across third base. Two other towers are in strategic positions to illuminate the outfield. Two problems faced engineers in the wo/k, glare and shadow 7 . The former was solved by the height of the towers. Shadow's were averted by criss-crossing the beams. Spectators thus w 7 ill be able to see the longest of drives and highest of fly balls at all times.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES*

Ownie Bush Promises to Help Locals When Chicago Squad Is Cut Southpaw Hurler and Outfielder May Join Corriden Crew: Giants Held to One Hit in Game Here: Tots Come Friday. BY EDDIE ASH After viewing the big leaguers in action at Washington park Wednesday afternoon, Johnny Corriden’s Indians went back to work late this morning by taking a long and hard drill. On Friday the Terre Haute Three-I leaguers. will come over for three exhibition tilts. Arrangements for the additional exhibition contest Friday were made today. The game will start at 3:30. Tilts also are carded at Washington Park for Friday and Saturday. A crowd of 3,000 turned out to see Ownie Bush’s White Sox wallop the New York Giants here Wednesday, 8 to 1, and John McGraw got little pleasure out of the fray John’s boys were held to one hit by Red Faber in seven innings, and the best they could do with Pat Caraway in two stanzas was to get a base on balls. Fred Fitzsimmons, pitching for the Giants, weakened, lost control and received a spanking by the Pale Hose, and McGraw kept him in there for the full route.

Indianapolis club officials held several conferences with Manager Bush and the little pilot left town promising he w'ould do his best to help the local nine with talent. The Indians are hard up for an experienced outfielder and two pitchers of known quality, and Ownie said he believed his club would be in a position to give the Tribesmen a southpaw hurler and a flychaser of skill. Injuries Handicap The Sox team is handicapped by injuries to some extent at present and furthermore waivers first must be obtained before any player can be sent out of the American League. Outfielder Metzler and pitcher Weiland have been mentioned as possibilities for Indianapolis. In thirteen starts against the Giants this spring the Sox have bumped off the Giants eight times and Bush is becoming a hero in Chicago. He has a swift moving outfit and his athletes are hustling and lively with energy and determination. It is evident Ownie made a smart move when he shifted Cissell from short to second and replaced Hunnefield at short with Ernie Smith. Big Jolley is slow and awkward in right field, but has all the marks of a heavy hitter, and no doubt will be the club’s powerhouse at the plate. Works Hard With Riddle Johnny Riddle, obtained from the Indians, is not batting up to Bush’s expectations, but Ownie is giving him much personal attention and thinks the stalwart youth will improve. Johnny is an excellent receiver and owns a fine arm. The other Sox catchers are Berg and Autry. The former is on the hospital list. Both managers used their best bets in the tilt Wednesday and only two pinch hitters were used. The field lineups were left intact throughout the struggle. IT is said John McGraw has a deal in the making with the St. Louis Cardinals to obtain a righthanded hitting outfielder. It is rumored Taylor Douthit may be traded by the Cards. McGraw’s club is better than, it “showed” Wednesday, but there is extreme doubt about Marshall staying at second base. A stiff breeze robbed Mel Ott of a home run in the fourth when his terrific drive to right center was checked by the wind and Reynolds snared it against the fence. Fitzsimmons has not lost any of his cunning in the field and he grabbed everything within, reach, getting eight assists. THERE were some home-coming festivities for Ownie Bush and Mike Kelly. Each was presented with a fountain pen and pencil set by the Knights of Columbus, and Bush received a tremendous floral horseshoe from his east end friends. The Bush followers also gave a basket of flowers to John McGraw. Mike Kelly wrote out a pass for someone and “party” and left the front office laughing with the Info there would be at least thirteen in the party. He also threw anew ball to a friend in the grand stand. Bill Burweli has a grievance. The popular Indian pitcher got an afternoon off to watch the big leaguers and while walking in the grandstand was nearly knocked down by a foul ball hit one of the Pale Hose. Bill said it was the first time he watched a game here as a spectator and Ownie Bush got a big laugh out of the incident and offered to loan him a glove.

Art Shires got one hit and turned in a good day in the field. Johnny

Riddle rooms with Arthur and told local friends Wednesday that the Texan is an entertaining companion. Red Faber is more than 40, but nobody would guess him that old after seeing him throw the sphere. He was held up well by Riddle, who is getting his first experience handling the spitball. Wednesday’s contest was umpired by George Johnson of the American Association and Bill Brennan of the Southern I/eague.

Crimes Is Traded by Pittsburgh Braves May Swap Vet Hurler for Catcher snd Infielder/?i/ Vnitcd Prca* NEW YORK. April 10—Burleigh Grimes, veteran National League spitball pitcher, today joined the Boston Braves squad but kept his trunk packed in anticipation of further traveling. Grimes was traded to Boston Wednesday night by the Pittsburgh Pirates for Percy Lee Jones, southpaw pitcher, and a reported large cash consideration. It is believed he will go to another National League club in A three cornered deal if an infielder and a catcher desired by Manager Bill McKechnie can be secured. The Chicago Cubs. St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds are reported to have attempted to purchase Grimes from Pittsburgh and it is probable that the 37-vear-old right hander will open the 1930 season with one of these clubs. Grimes refused to join the Pirates at training camp this spring when his demand for a $22,000 salary or a two-year contract at $20,000 per season was refused. Pittsburgh officials offered him a contract calling for $17,500, the same salary he received last season.
