Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 18 —lt is the unanimous opinion of the Giants that by shipping Burleigh Grimes to the Braves for Percy Jones and rash, the Pirates eliminated themselves from consideration for a one-two-three finish in the National League this year, and that the Boston club has assured itself of a place high in the second division. While Grimes still will be a big menace to the New Yorks, they are glad to see him shift from the western half of the league into the eastern. They believe that the balance of power in the old circuit will be transferred to the eastern -ection and that they will get a lot more help in fighting back the Cubs Cards, Pirates and Reds. B tt B Thr Gianlv Dodger*. Phillies and Brakes alt future to be stronger than they were in The Cuba do not look a* good they did laat season. The (ardinal seem unchanged and the Reds a bit stronger. The Pirates have dropped a pitcher who won twinty-Bve games tor them in 1928 and took seventeen in 19211 despite the thumb injury which kept him on the heir tor week*. They have acquired in his plare a lefthander who has won only forty-two games in the last Are year*. • B B a Jones got ,-cvcn decisions for the Bostons last, season. True, lie lost a dozen games by one-run margins, but his earned run average was no better than 4.04. Only twice in his ten years in baseball has Jones come under the four earned-run mark. That was in 1326. when lie won twelve games for the Cubs with an average of 3.03 runs, and in 1923. when he was with Los Angeles. a a a ON Nov. 7, 1328, when Jones. Leggett. Cunningham, Seibold and Maguire accompanied $103,000 to Boston in exchange for Rogers Hornsby. Jones could have been waived out of the National League. Ever since Barney Dreyfuss came into baseball in Louisville he has been the arch opponent of the holdout. Time after time he has got rid of great players who wanted more money than he had offered. He traded Grimes to Brooklyn in 1918 because Burleigh was a holdout. Now lie has got rid of him a second time in similar circumstances. He sent Vic Aldridge to the Giants for Grimes because Vic was a salary squawker. Last year Barney came near getting rid of Paul Waner for a similar reason. a a a We do not know just how much cash figured in the transfer of Grimes of Boston. But the fact remains that in upholding his policy Dreyfuss has weakened the Pirates and done no harm to Grime: . The spitball star will pitch as hard as ever for Boston and he will get exactly what he wanted from Barney—a season for two years. a a a THE deal is almost as surprising as was the Hornsby affair in New York and emphasizes an anomalous condition in baseball. Owners will run helter-skelter after untried bushers and will beg minor clubs to accept small fortunes for lads who don't know the first thing about major league practice. But a hurler like Grimes will be traded because of a difference of a few thousand dollars. a a a Os course, there may be an angle witn which we arc not familiar. Barney may be ahrrwdor than we know. He may believe that Grime* is not over the injury tic suffered last sea'on and that at .11 Burleigh is not exactly a safe investment. But if we remember right, that was the impression when Grimes was traded by the Giants. He went out the next season and won twenty-five games for the Pirates and ro t New York the pennant.

Bv United Press THE major league baseball season today moved into its second stage, with all of the American League teams and the eastern National League clubs changing opponents. After the second series the clubs which opened the season on the road will move to their home stadiums for their inaugurals. April 22. an a Rain and cold weather kept eight of the sixteen major league teams idle Thursday and raided anew the que-tion of whether rlu'n owner* may not be forcing the >eason by starting their schedules early in April. a s a Os the twenty-five games scheduled to date, only fourteen have been played. The opening series at St. Louis and Cincinnati are the only ones which have not been cut short by bad weather—and Thursday’s game at St. Louis was halted by rain In the seventh. a a a Cleveland’s Indians and the Chicago White Sox played the twice posted American League opener at Chicago, the Sox winning 8 to 7.

LEAGUE PREXY ON HAND

Hickey Believes Four Cities Will Turn in Attendance Increase Boss of Circuit Brings Report of Improved Playing Power at Louisville; Burwell to Pitch for Indians Today and Jonnard Saturday. BY EDDIE ASH Indians and Blues gave hree cheers this morning when they glimpsed the sunshine striving to do its duty after being hidden by rain clouds since Tuesday and the athletes prepared to go out to the ball park and strike off the last game of the season's opening series following two

postponements. Grc-undkeeper Tom Logan had his field force out early and the labor, combined with breeze and sunshine, promised to have the diamond in shipshape order by game time. Thomas J. Hickey, president of the American Association, was in the city awaiting the opportunity to see Johnnv Corriaen’s reconstructed Indians battle Eddie Zwilling’s champions and to get a line on the strength of the two nines, especially the Tribesmen, for he is more or less convinced the Blues are not wanting for power. The league prexy watched Colonels and Brewers perform Tuesday and Wednesday and issued the word that A’ Sothoron has a formidable team representing the Kentucky metropolis. As to the Brewers, he wasn't asked to comment, for they have played three and have l ist three. Naturally, Fickey was disappointed with the weather

Hickey

the first, few days of the new campaign, but it's all in the game and the postponements will give the fans a break in the way of double-headers later in the season.

Realizing that some of the clubs are not set entirely and definitely for the summer campaign, Hickey is not ready at this time to give a president’s official slant on the race prospects, but it is his opinion that, there will be an increase in attendance over last season in at least four cities, Columbus, Louisville, Indianapolis and Toledo. He does not seem to fear the unemployment situation over winter in the towns that have improved their teams. Brewers Follow Blues Bill Burwell was slated to hurl for the Indians today against the Blues and on Saturday the Brewers will 1 be here to open a four-game series, j lasting through Tuesday. Claude Jonnard no doubt will draw the Tribe box assignment Saturday, and on Sunday it is believed Johnny Corriden will come back with Mike Cvengros, the sturdy left-hander who twirled the Indians’ opening day victory. Thursday was not wholly wasted on the part of the Tribesmen despite the rain, for Cornden sent his pastimers through light exercise to keep them from slipping back in physical condition. a a a THE honor of being baseball's biggest individual baseball booster no doubt belongs to Arch B. Davis, vice-president of a Louisville bank.’ He invited 2.000 people to attend the Colonels’ opener as his guests and gave them a buffet luncheon and free transportation to boot. Davis gave his first baseball party in 1921 and each year his guest list has mounted, the number being 1.100 last vear. It grew from twenty-six in 1921. It costs money, but is a fine investment in good will, Davis has learned. a a a Roy Spencer, former Indian catcher who held out on Washington this spring, accepted terms the other day and signed for the sum originally offered by President Griffith. But P.iy won’t draw any salary till he gets in condition. In other words he fined himself by staying away from training camp. a a a Outfielder Eichrodt, Indianapolis youth with New Orleans, walloped a home rim with the bases loaded in the Pelicans’ opening game. a ft tt JIM BRAY, shortstop, and Eldon Carlyle, outfielder, who tried out with Kansas City during spring training, are now striving for berths with Bloomington in the Three-I League. Eldon is a brother of the veteran Carlyle, whom the Blues obtained from the coast loop. Bray former collegiate baseball, football and basketball performer and hails from Notre Dame. ff tt tt LOUISVILLE made it three In a row over Milwaukee Thursday when Billy Herman, rookie second sacker. singled in the ninth to score the winning run. Old Ben Tincup relieved Weinert after the third and gave up only four hits in six innings. The colonels stole six bashes, Herman Layne three times. a a a Pid Purdy got a homer and two singles for Columbus, but the Sc ators got nosed out by the Si 6 to 5. a a a TOLEDO trimmed the Millers again, 5 to 1. in six innings, rain preventing further play. Fred Heimach held the losers to four hits. Mulleavy, Hen shortstop, collected three bingles. He is the lad the White Sox purchased for $45.000 — $30,000 in cash and two players, ; with the understanding he can remain with Toledo until August. He batted .344 with Decatur <ast year. PARK.

IVULLER.

•ITH the city tournament scheduled for June this year instead of late August, members of the Indiana polis Women’s Golf Association are pushing their games right now to get in top condition before the meet gets

under way at Avalon. Likewise, this will b e the first time in several years the title play has not been held at Coffin munfcipal links. At the annual meeting last August during the city tournament the question of new site along with the earlier date came up for discussion. There was not much doubt, after hearing some of the gossip before the vote, of what the outcome would be. A majority of the women do their playing at private clubs where they are members. Naturally they find it difficult to play run-up shots to flat blue grass greens after they have been practicing the pitch shot, dead to the pin, on a spongy bent grass nutting surface. The players who regularly play the municipal courses do not find their games injured any on the private fairways, it seems. a a a I AST year Miss Elizabeth Dunn. v, city champion for the past few seasons, played in an early handicap tournament at Broadmoor. The way she banged the gutta percha around the first

nine holes was more or less marvelous to George Soutar, the veteran Sco t c hman who teaches golf at the club. Miss Dunn came in with nearly as good a card on the second nine and the score for the eighteen holes, while we do not remember the exact figures, was very classy. Miss Dunn likewise

Miss Dunn

shot splendid golf in a one day tournament at Highland as well as in the qualifying round and several matches of the state tournament at Meridian Hills. When her game collapsed at Meriridian Hills it was after splendid play in the early rounds had indicated that she would stand a fine chance of regaining the state title from Mrs. A. E. Bulson of Ft. Wayne. As it was, her game fell apart. The course had nothing to do with it. So the women who complain that their scores are not regular in the municipal course play certainly must have some argument in their favor as long as they can point out that Miss Dunn does not seem to suffer any when she plays on the links. ana THE question of date came In for some discussion, but after the records for the past few years were investigated it was discovered that

Not One Dime in Hole After Giving Phillies Winner Burt Shotton Proves Miracle in Economy With Less Than $75,000 Involved and Balanced in Building Formidable Lineup in Two Years.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 18.—'The inside story of how he built the Phillies into a formidable team in two years on a shoestring was told to

the United Press today by Manager Burt Shotton. The Phils finished last in 1928 and fifth last year—.lßl points higher. “It hasn’t cost a dime to put together this team which I consider every inch a pennant contender,” said Shotton. “The revenue

Shotton

received from, the O'Doul-Leach deal with the Giants and money obtained from other players has balanced the cash we had to spend.” ! Checking over the 1930 team with Shotton it was revealed that less than $75,000 was involved in acquir- i ing all his players. There are only j four players—Thompson, Friberg, j Willoughby and Williams—on the ' Phillies who were there when Shot- 1 ton arrived in 1928. Four smart trades played a prominent part in building up the team. Here’s how Shotton got his regulars: First base. Hurst, trade. Cardinals: second base, Thompson, already on hand; shortstop, Thevenow, trade. Cardinals; third base. Whitney, draft, $4,000; left field. O’Doul. trade. Giants; center field, Southern, recalled; right field. Klein, purchased. $7,500: catcher, Davis, trade. Cardinals: catcher, McCurdy, trade Cardinals: pitcher: Sweetland. d?aft, $2,500; pitcher. Koupal, trade. Brooklyn; pitcher. Alexander, trade. Cardinals; pitcher. Benge, draft. $4,000; pitcher, Willoughby, already on hand: pitcher. Smythe. trade. Asheville. Shotton’s version of the famous O'Doul-Leach trade follows: “Wet got enough money from the Giants in addition to O’Doul to balance a previous trade we had made with the Cardinals in which we got Hurst, Thevenow, Davis and Peel. At the time we made the O’DoulLeach trade we had no idea O’Doul would become the National League batting champion. We figured it about an even-up trade.” Five From Cardinals In two trades with the Cardinals, in 1928 and this winter, the Phillies obtained five regulars—Davis, McCurdy, Alexander, Hurst and Thevenow—and parted with only catcher Jimmy Wilson and outfielder Peel, who previously had been obtained in the recent first deal with the Cards, and pitcher Bob M'cGraw,

Predicts Runner-Up Battle Shotten expects the Cubs, provided their 1929 team is kept intact, to win the pennant again, but j thinks the league is stronger and ) that they will be pushed to the limit. “The fight for second place should be between the Giants and Pirates,” said Shotton. “But it may turn out to be a five-team battle for second place, with the Phillies. Cardinals and Brooklyn right up in the struggle.” Local Sunday ml League Ready for Campaign Some old-fashioned baseball interest is expected to be revived locally with the organization of the | Sunday afternoon municipal league under the direction of David Kil- | gore, city recreation director.
