NEW YORK CITY, June 2. THAT previous story of mine about the lively ball sort of started the boys talking, I guess. It certainly started them writing, anyhow, and some of the names they have called me wouldn't do for a Sunday newspaper. But I’m staying to my guns. I’m afraid some of the

Babe Ruth Says

boys got me a little wrong on that story. I didn’t say that the ball wasn’t livelier than it used to be. In fact, I said it was. There’s no question but that the baseball that is used today is more lively and

will go farther when it is hit than the ball that was in use five or ten years ago. It would be foolish to say otherwise But I still insist that that same lively ball is being used for a lot of alibi stuff by pitchers who don’t know how to pitch and won’t learn. When pitchers carry hitters to a three to two or three to one count all the time and then have a ball slammed out of the park after they lay it down the middle you can’t blame the lively ball. That’s just naturally bad pitching in my book, and always will be. Some of my friends, in commenting on that last story, asked me what I would do to Improve pitching. First, I’d have the pitchers get control. Once a pitcher gets so he can put that ball where he wants it, once he is able to keep ahead of the hitter, a lot of the liveliness goes right out of it.

Another thing that would help would be to leave balls in the game a little longer, and not toss them out every time a ball gets a little dirty spot on it, or a little rough place. Cy Young, Ed Walsh, Walter Johnson, Rube Waddell. Christy Mathewson and those fellows were great pitchers—but if they were to come back today and have to pitch the white, smooth, hard balls that

Records Menaced in National Collegiate Track Carnival Classiest Field in History to Compete at Chicago Next Week-End.

By United Press CHICAGO, June 2.—Bulging with probably the greatest class the meet ever has seen, a large entry list of the country’s leading athletes will gather here this week-end for competition in the annual national collegiate track and field games with the avowed purpose of erasing some of the present records from the books. The “thriller” of every track meet —the 100-yard dash—stands out as the greatest single attraction. The century will find such men competing as Simpson, Wykoff, Tolan, Leland and several others. And there is every indication that it will take record time to win the race. Simpson is favored but he must be at his best to beat Wykoff, who recently ran the hundred in 9.4 sec-

Indians Give Sabbath Fans Rare Treat With Two Shutout Victories Jonnard and Ambrose Blank Hens While Tribe Smashes Bail to All Corners; Freigau Poles Seven Hits and Warstler Shines. BY EDDIE ASH Shelling Toledo pitchers for thirty-two hits, including four home runs, two triples and five doubles, Johnny Corriden’s Indians staged a massacre party at Washington park Sunday and annexed a double header, 13 to 0, and 11 to 0. It was two bitter defeats for Casey Stengel and the Hen pilot kept to his dugout most of the aferncon. Howard Freigau, Tribe third satker, collected seven hits during the twin bill and two of his

swats were good for a pair oi sacks. Barnhart poled a home run in each tilt and Hoffman and Connolly also whacked the sphere for the circuit. In the meantime Claude Jonnard and Elmer Ambrose, Indian righthanders, put the bee on the Toledo attack, the former allowing seven hits and the latter cutting the Hen total to four. The nightcap was called after eight innings on account of the 6 o’clock Sunday closing law. Tate and Ogden were hammered hard by the home nine in the afternoon opener and Lefty Heimach, ace of the visitors’ staff, got rough treatment in the second and was left out there to suffer. The lopsided victories sparkled with brilliant fielding to keep a crowd of about 4,500 interested. Rabbit Warstler accepted twenty-one chances in the two games without a miss and in the first iracas some of his stops were marvelous. Connolly, Barnhart, Monahan, Mcstil and Lebourveau were others who contributed feature stops and catches. Connolly operated at second for the Tribe in place of Sicking and came through with class on the defense and with six hits, including a home run with two mates aboard. Today’s game was moved up to supply a Sabbath double header and the Indians won't see game action again until Wednesday when Minneapolis invades the Tribe lot. Manager Corriden has ordered practice for Tuesday, beginning at 11 a. m. Toledo won Saturday’s conflict, 10 to 8. Hens and Indians are tied for fourth place in the A. A. Pitcher Ted Blankenship failed to show up

Freigau

Sunday, but is expected to be on hand Wednesday. He is coming from the White Sox on option. Charlie Dorman, new outfielder, played right field in the second tilt Sunday and got one hit and was robbed of two extra base clouts by Mostil’s wonderful fielding.

With Ambrose coming through and the addition of Blankenship and Dorman the Indians promise to be an important factor in the pennant race and it will be no surprise to see them start climbing. Louisville, on top, Is seven games ahead of the Corridenites, but the season is young and the fact confidence has been restored in the Tribe ranks may see the locals making a splurge shortly.

Cochet Trims Til den in Net Finals; Wills-Moody Victor Americans Capture Three of Five Crowns in French Hard Court Championships.

Bv United Press AUTEUIL, France, June 2. —Big Bill Tilden’s chances of being invited to become a member of the 1930 United States Davis cup team seemed unlikely today after the veteran American’s defeat by Henri Cochet, France’s greatest player, in the final of the French hard court championships. Tilden won the first set from Cochet and led, 5-3 in the second set Sunday when his game collapsed and the Frenchman turned the remainder of the match into a near rout. The scores were 3-P, 8-6, 6-3 and 6-1.

Breezy Tribe Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

WITH the Indians idle today and Tuesday, workmen engaged in installing night baseball equipment at Washington park will have a free hand and it is believed by Saturday or next Monday the “moonlight opener” will be staged. At any rate fans are beginning to order reservations and it is predicted the park will be packed for the initial contest. Many baseball notables are expected to attend. tt a Mistil ployed in too close on Connolly in the second inning of the windup game and Buddie lifted the sphere over the Hen fielder’s head and it took a high bounce over the low fence. Fred Heimach. Toledo pitcher, started to “ride” Mostil. but the Hen fly chaser gave him tit for tat. tt tt tt Barnhart’s home run in the first tilt Sunday cleared the high fence in left center. tt tt tt BARNHART PUT ON A SHOW IN SPRINTING TO HIS RIGHT FOR LONG FOULS AND THE FANS WHOOPED ’ER

UP FOR THE VETERAN. HIS BATTING RECORD FOR THE DAY SHOWED TWO HOME RUNS, TWO SINGLES AND THREE WALKS. tt tt tt IN the third stanza of the Sabbath opener twelve Indians went to bat, Barnhart, Koenecke and Freigau each 'going up twice. Eight runs scored during the rally. With the count three and nothing on Monahan and the bases filled Ogden relieved Tate and passed Pete, forcing in a run. tt tt tt Be vo Lebourveau was the best Hen hitter with two safeties off both Jonnard and Ambrose.. Amby mixed ’em up freely and uncorked a fine assortment. Ho beat Columbus last week. tt tt tt Butch Henline. Toledo backstop, who went to the majors from Indianapolis several years ago, worked the first fray for the Hens Sunday and got one hit. Connolly and Warstler “made" him for a double steal, the former scoring. Two visitors tried to steal and Crouse ind Warstler erased them. tt tt tt Mulleavy, Toledo shortstop for whom the White Sox paid big money to obtain an option to buy, did not look so hot at bat He looks the part of the real goods in the field. tt tt a The Hens have two. players, crippled, third baseman Koehler and utility inflelder Butler. The latter received a cut eyo during practice Saturday. tt tt tt Eddie Ainsmith, catcher, is another former Indian with the Hens. Catcher Ear! Smith is recently from the Cardinals. It tt it Earl Smith crashed one off Ambrose in the fifth round that would have been a triple and perhaps a homer had not Smltty been handicapped by a bum “dog." It was a tremendous swat to left center. DOEG TAKES CROWN SOUTH ORANGE, N.
