Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. July 10—Connie Mack, boss of the Athletics, likes to come to New York. He likes to taxi up to the Yankee stadium by way of Fifth avenue, with a sentimental stop at One hundred tenth street. For it was on the original Polo Grounds, up there on the northern fringe of Central park, that Mack made his major league debut. This i* *om*thing of a icbilcc vest far •Id Coanla. at It marks hit farty-Bltb tofiivagsarr at t big lpaguer. The SS-y*r---•Id yetpran hat a bean memory. and he ran rite aattlandlnc daTalapmantt of tha tana between the Glantt and Washington In whlrh he broke in here on Sept. IS. 1898. a a a Connie, a catcher. Just had come up to the Nationals from the Hartford club. Incidentally, it is with a pang of regret that Connie tees Hartford out of professional baseball for the firs', time in half a century or .nore. The Connecticut capital quit the Eastern League the other day. a a a A (lance at the batting order* of the New lork and Washington team* of fortrA\e rear* aro stress** the fart that as a haaeball fleurr. Mack stands alone. Most of his contemporaries are rone. He brldees the tan between the ancient dars. when cities like Hartford. Tror and Buffalo were considered rood enourb for the National l earue. and the era that is typified by the Yankee Stadium a a a That September day fortv-flve years ago at the Ancient Polo Grounds, so called because polo was played there for years before the ball team took it over. Mack esurht the delivery of Gtlmore. "a great pitcher.” a a a Hines. Carroll and Shock were in the outfield; Kreir. Farrell. Houck and Knowles in the Inflow. Where hate they gone? How many, even among the older fans, remember these worthies, with the exreptlon of Farrell and Hines.

Ward Dorgan. Gillespie. Richardson. Gebhardt. O’Rourke and Keefe pitching. Connie can recite those batting orders almost without error. a a a THE game has changed in many respect since Mack was in his prime, and most of the changes have been for the best. For example. in the old days they were somewhat rough. A little thing like breaking a mans leg to get him out of a series was considered well, let us say, not too unsportsmanlike. a a a The Old timers still remember how. In the crucial uennant series between Pittsburgh and Boston late in 1893. Herman long came in with a leaping tackle and broke Mark’s leg. Boston went on to take the Bag. a a a This Is Mack s forty-fifth year as a pig leaguer, and it Is a season of celebradon for Eddie Collins, his lieutenant, as veil. For this Is Eddie’s twenty-fifth year in the American League. He hopes to have an official record at bat before the season Is finished and round out a really memurible career. a a a Just imagine: Eddie is no callow youth, j At any means. Bui when the Collinses, at Mlllerton. N. Y.. were celebrating the ar- j rival of Edward Trowbridge that .Mar morning 1887. Mack already was a Na- j tional League star. a a a EDDIE broke in with the Athletics -n 1906. under the alias of Sullivan. College stars did that sort of thing in those days. They weren’t so easy to spot. But a player such as Collins was with Columbia twenty-five years ago would have a tough time today hiding his identity under an alias. a a a Eddie haa been known as a quiet ball player. In fact, a bit too quiet. But on old south field, where they hit homers into terrain now occupied by dormitories. Collins was a gabby, peppery russ.

ROBINS, NATS HAVE FIRM GRIP ON LEADS

Dodgers Turn in Twin Win Over Braves to Top Cubs Two Games Chica / Defeated by Reds in Ten Innings; Washington Increases Lead by Splitting Double Bill, While Yanks Drub Athletics. ✓ Bv I'nited Prrra NEW YORK. July 10.—Brooklyn and Washington, leaders in the major league pennant races, were certain of holding their honors today, the first time in several weeks that the leaders in both leagues have had a firm grip on first place. Brooklyn now enjoys a two game ’ead over the second place Chicago Cubs. With New York and Philadelphia playing the only National League Same ’.oday, the Robins have on opportunity to take stock before western Jubs open an eastern invasion Saturday.

The Senators gained ground Wednesday, splitting a doubleheader with Boston, while Philadelphia was losing to New York. Sam Jones pitched Washington to a 5 to 2 victory in the opener, but Lloyd Brown was ineffective in the second garr * and Boston won, 5 to 1. It was Boston’s second victoryover Washington in thirteen starts this season. Four Pitchers Used Four Philadelphia pitchers were unable to stop the Yankee sluggers and New York defeated the Athletics, 12 to 6. Eric McNair's wild throw with the bases filled and two out, followed by Dickey’s homer, gave the Yanks five runs on a single hit in the fifth inning. Dazzy Vance and Del Bissonette were the heroes of Brooklyn's double win over Boston, 8 to 0 and 6 to 4. Vance held the Braves to three hits and struck out nine men in the first game. Bissonette’s homer with the bases full produced the winning runs in the second game. A squeeze play in the tenth inning resulted in Chicago's fourth consecutive defeat by Cincinnati, 4 to 3. Leo Durocher’s bunt scored the winning run after the Reds filled the bases on Stripp’s single, English’s error and a walk. Riggs Stephenson drove in all of the Cubs’ three runs, and when he went to bat in the tenth with Cuyler on second he was passed purposely. Cards Trip Pirates Jimmy Wilson’s double with the bases full in the eighth inning gave St. Louis a 7 to 6 victory over Pittsburgh and enabled the Cardinals to advance to within , i game of the third place Giants. The Pirates pounded Johnson for 6 runs, but were held scoreless by TT tl Haid during the last four innings. Successive hits in the ninth inning by Friberg, Southern, O’Doul and Klein gave the Philadelhpia Phillies two runs and a 5 to 4 triumph over the New York Giants. Wesley Ferrell tied Ted Lyons of the White Sox for major league pitching honors, turning in his twelfth win of the season to give Cleveland a 9 to 5 victory over St. Louis. George Uhle held Chicago to 6 hits, all of them in the final four innings, and Detroit defeated the j White Sox, 6 to 1.

NEW YORK, July 10. , Baseball is a funny game. A fellow goes out and sets a record that you think will stand up forever, and almost before he can turn around some other fellow comes around and kicks the old mark into a cocked hat. When I hit sixty home runs in 1927 I had an idea that there’s

Babe Ruth Says

one mark that will stand about as long as the game does. Now I’ve changed my mind. I’ve got a sneaking hunch I can lick that old mark myself this

year. Understand. I’m making no predictions. I realize that too many things can happen to change the whole look of things. But I never felt stronger in my life than I do this season, and I don’t think I’ve ever had better timing or had my eye on the. ball better than I have this yeai. Getting my finger banged up on that screen last week was a tough blow, for it took me out of the lineup right at a time when I was going good. Just the same. I’ve got thirty-two homers now, and I’ve still got a chance to smack that old mark, and I’ll be the happiest fellow in the world if I can do it.

Another mark I thought would stand forever was Lou Gehrig's record for driving in runs. You remember Lou sent 178 rims over the plate in 1927 and believe me, that’s a lot. But there's Lou out there this season gunning for anew record. and unless something terrible happens to him he's pretty sure to get it. At the rate he’s going now with the season a third over he’ll have anew mark of more than 200 runs driven in by the end of the year. And if he does it, you can put it down that there is one record that will stand for a good many seasons, for that’s one that not only requires a real punch from the fellow who drives the runs in, but requires a lot of hitting power, too. from the fellows hitting ahead of

Walker May Meet Maxie in Title Tilt By 1 tilled Preaa NEW YORK. July 10.—Refusal of the New York state athletic commission to allow Maxie Rosenbloom, world light heavyweight champion, to engage in heavyweight competition. may result in a light heavyweight championship bout between Rosenbloom and Mickey Walker, middleweight champion, at Atlantic City auditorium, Aug. 30. Negotiations for the bout are under way, both fighters having exhausted competition in their own class and being denied permission to fight overweight bouts in New York. Walker is under suspension in New York and if Rosenbloom accepts the bout he plans to renounce his title and thus avoid punishment by the New York commission for meeting an ineligible fighter.

him. You can't drive in runs, you know, unless there are men on bases to be driven in. You know the mark I’d like to break this year is for bases on balls and I’ve got a good chance. That, again, though depends on the breaks. As long as I can keep socking that onion so that opposing pitchers are afraid of me and will keep giving me intentional passes. I've got a good chance. Though this year I’m in a tough spot, for Tony Lazzeri and Lou Gehrig are socking the cover oft that ball, and there’s not much percentage in walking me, to get at a couple of sockers like those two.

Hub Hurler Whiffs ’Em By Lnitei Preia Evansville, ind., July 10. —Another strikeout king of baseball is carving a record which may surpass any mark compiled either for minors or majors before the season is completed. He is Tom Bridges, youthful pitching ace of the Evansville Hubs Three-I team. Pitching against Springfield, July 3, Bridges struck out twenty batters, which is four better than the modern major league record. Some time before that Tom struck out eighteen batsmen in a game against Decatur. Bridges has a total of 155 strikeouts for eleven games, am average of fourteen per game, but because of wildness he has lost several contests in which he mowed down the batters. For the season he has won only four and lost seven games. Since Evansville is a Detroit Tiger farm. Bridges may get a trial with the Tigers next spring. He may be the successor to Lefty Grove and Dazzy Vance, present strikeout kings, if he gains control of his dazzling slants.

Short Odds Offered on Fox, Sande Derby Winner May Be 1 to 10 Choice in $70,000 Race. CHICAGO, July Fox, with Earl Sande in the saddle, may be a l-to-10 choice when he goes to the post Saturday against one of the greatest fields ever assembled in the midwest in the $70,000 added classic at Arlington park course, it appeared today. Hundreds of eastern turf fans were arriving here today, and among them were many heavy backers of Sande and Gallant Fox, the premier pair of the American racing world this season. Their money was expected to result in the almost prohibitive odds on the Fox. Western support will be given to Gallant Knight at 4 to 1 and Snowflake at 10 to 1, investors in the mutuel machines believe, and Harry Payne Whitney’s fleet filly, Dustemall, may be given a 10-to-l rating if she is entered. Railbirds at Arlington park declared today that the 50,000 or more spectators at the classic may ee Gallant Fox in even finer mettle than he displayed in winning the Kentucky Derby. Their opinion was strengthened when The Fox loped a mile over the Arlington course in 1:37 1-5. Hie other probable starters arc Ned O, High Foot, Zenobol, Caruso, Black Majesty, Breezin’ Thru. Plucky Play, Dark Sea, Spinach, Crucifixion and Galady. The race will be broadcast over a national network of the National broadcasting system.

Ruth Suspended for Three Days After Run-in With Ump Babe to Return to Lineup Saturday; Has Injured Thumb and Finger.

Bu United Preaa NEW YORK. July 10.—Babe Ruth drew a three-day suspension Wednesday for his run-in with Umpire Brick Owens in the first game of Tuesday's double-header between the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics. Ruth, who is nursing an injured finger and thumb, will return to the Yankees’ lineup against the White Sox at Chicago on Saturday. This is the fourth time Ruth has been ejected from the game since he became a member of the Yankees, in 1920. The last time he had any trouble with an umpire was back in 1925 when Umpire Tommy Connolly chased *him out of a ball game. Ruth was sitting on the bench Tuesday, unable to play, but waiting for a chance to pinch-hit when he was ejected from the field for questioning Umpire Owens’ judgment on strikes with Charlie Ruffing at bat. After Ruth had been banished from the bench he rushed out on the diamond and pointed and yelled in Umpire. Owens’ face, which caused President E. S. Barnard to slap a three-day suspension on him. Ruth’s absence will not injure the Yanks, as he would be unable to play, any way, because of his in-

Tight Tilt Captured by Toledo Scott Stops Line Wallop With Leg and Indians Lose, 3 to 2. BY EDDIE ASH Night baseball customers saw an exciting mound battle at the West Washington street lighting plant Wednesday and though the home nine lost it took masterful pitching and a large-size horseshoe to nose ’em out, 3 to 2. giving the Hens an edge of tw’o to cne in the series. Clayton Val Alstyne went the route for the Indians and convinced the rooters The dub officials made a valuable move when they took him from Minneapolis. The teams will battle in the series fourth tonight and on Friday evening the finale of the set will be staged and it will be women and children’s night again. Timely Hit by J. Smith The eighth inning Wednesday was the “big” one of the night and saw the Hens take the lead and the Indians pull close. Koehler singled and romped to third on Lebourveau’s single and Bevo moved up to second when Hoffman juggled his safety. Hunnefield fanned and both Koehler and Bevo scored on Jack Smith’s single, the Hoffman error being partly responsible for Bevo’s run. Vbn Alstyne tightened and ended the rally. Frazier opened the Indians’ half with a single and Warstler walked after Henline dropped his foul. Hoffman reached first on a sacrifice fielder's choice, filling the sacks. This brought up Barnhart and with the count three and one he connected for a line drive that would have scored two mates had it gone through, but Jack Scott couldn’t get out of its path and it socked him on the leg and fell at his feet, and Frazier was forced at the plate. Ordinarily a drive of that type would have bounced away, but this one didn't and Old Jack saved his hide. Fans Two and Escapes Scott’s mates rubbed the bruised spot and he pitched to Narlesky and plunked the Tribe third-sacker in the ribs, forcing Warstler home and leaving the bases filled. The fans felt sure Connolly would do something, but Scott outsmarted him and erased him on a called third strike. Len Koenecke, swinging left-handed, was sent up to hit for Freigau and was disposed of with three pitches, the last being called.
