Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, July 31.—Mr. James Bowli* Bronson was around today Jabbering of fights and fighters. ' Don’t go wrong on this Strlbllng fellow. Hell beat Sharkey or Schmeling or any of those big guys. He’s finally arrived, and I think he’s the best heavyweight in the game bar none. mam This would ***m to mkr It naaolasas. Practically mr nlfht the dark-haired Ocorflsn has aisrcd himself Inta the hcaTTwrlfbt hlnf row. He knocked oat Von Psrat and followed hr flaltcnlnc Scott. Off band 1 wouldn't say ho has done a treat deal. Bath Von Porat and Scott are strietly second raters. Bat not many of the boys bare been tolat aroond boaarinc them on their hies In one or two reands. m m m Possibly one reason the customers seem ester to acclaim Strlbllng In spite of his msny Inconsistencies of the past is that he offers a change from the Sharkey and Bchmelings and the so forths. m m m BRONSON got to jabbering about young A1 Lassman, the great football player who was drowned In Maine three weeks ago. Lassman had planned to become a professional prize fighter and it had been agreed that Bronson^would manage him. An injury in & football game paralyzed the athlete's left arm and he had to abandon his ring ambitions. m m m "I'm confident Utsintn weald bare made a wonderful hesrywelght If ho bad lived and that within a very short time yon fellows would hove been comparing him with Tnnner and Dempsey. He bad everything, plus a tremendous enthusiasm for the came. A strange thing about Laasman's death is ihat he was drowned at almost the same spot where he and I had sat In a canoe n couple of yearn ago and planned his future as a fighter. m m m • It was at night, too. around midnight, ■bout the same time the newspaper dispatches fixed as the hour of hts death. No fleUonlst could have conceived a more Ironical petting or astonishing coincidence, m m m "Ey*r sinee I read about the drowning I re been wondering Jost why the fates lared this youngster out to the very spot where be flrst laid bis plans to become a champion and then snuffed his life out. mum BRONSON, as its 'well known, helped to handle Tunney for his three championship fights and sooner or later he always shifts the conversation around to the retired battler. “Os course. Gene would have been a sucker not to quit when he did. considering the happy circumstances he was in. but in doing so he cut short a fighting career that would have led to many more remarkable chapters. mam •’Say. he wss just beginning to get good when he outt. and I’m not trying to hand too a lino. To be sure, be wss no novice in either of the Dempsey fights but he did not reach his best form until he faced Heener. He was suberb tbit night, and he still wasn't at his peak. a m a •T believe Tunnev could have gone along and held the title for at least fire more vears if he had staved in the game, he had matured late as tt was and he was net the tvpe that would have taken things easy or shirked training. a a a ••Since he stepped down you have had Sharker. Schmeling and Scott as foremost rontenders. I think he would have stopped Sharkey In (It* rounds. In any event he would haTe punched his ears off. Sehmeling wouldn't have laid a glove on him and poor old FhUfp Seott would have been oatstabbed from the flrst gong. aa a • “And now you've got Strtbling as the stand out heavyweight and though I'm high on Strlbllng and like him plenty as a fighter. I stmplv can't see him in the same rtng with the Tunney that punched DeniDsev all around the ring and madd a moekerv out of Heenev. - '

ROBINS HUMBLE PHILS TWICE TO INCREASE LEAD
‘Big Train’ May l ake Box Again Manager Johnson Plans Relief Pitching to Help Bolster Nats. WASHINGTON. D. C., July 31, Walter Johnson is seriously thinking of returning to the pitching mound in the role of relief hurler in a final effort to save his slipping Senators. Several times during the
tour of the west, when his team lost fourteen games, the Big Train was on the verge of deserting the bench and going .to the pitching mo md to aid some pitcher who was showing signs of weakening, but he hesitated because Clark Griffith, club president, was
Walter Johnson
not in accord with the proposal. Since eight decisions in recent games were lost after his team had gained a fair-sized early lead, the need for a capable relief chucker has been apparent. Walter reports he is in condition to bear down, after having pitched to batters in pre-game drills all season, and thus tested his speed occasionally to his complete satisfaction. He figures that for several innings he could travel in high and possibly save some games. At least, Johnson believes he could do no worse than has been done by some of his hurlers in recent efforts. In voicing his disapproval of his manager's suggestion. President Griffith stated he did not wish his pilot to add any more burden to his duties, figuring he had his hands full already in managing the team. However, unless he gets the desired results from his present staff members, the Big Train may be expected to be seen in action on the mound in the near future.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
CHANGING the hue of his hose from white to brown seems to have been just the needed tonic to make young Alex Metzler a flrst class ball player. The former White Sox outfielder was hitting ,184 with Donie Bush's Chicago club when the St. Louis Browns obtained him on waivers. Alex seemed destined for one of the Brownie farms when Fred Schulte, St. Louis center gardener was injured, giving the fly chaser his chance. His first day showed two hits in three trips and a creditable performance in the field. He has played in Schulte’s position since, and until Wednesday, hit safely at least onfce in every game. Featuring his bat performance was six hits in nine trips against Boston In a double-header last Sunday. During his week's service with the Browns. Metzler has been hitting at a .482 clip. He missed his first day without a hit when his former teammates shut him out in nine trips : during a twin exhibition Wednesday. Walker Stops Navy Champ B 'NEWARK* N. J., July 31.—Mickey Walker, world’s middleweight champion, knocked out Willie Oster of Boston, former navy champion, in the third round of a scheduled tenround nontitle bout before a crowd of 20,000 at Dreamland park Wednesday night. Walker floored Oster three times -in the third round before Referee Roman stopped the contest when the champion put the Bostonian down for the fourth timeSTRIB’S HAND HURT Bu United Press LONDON, July 31--*-Young Stribling’s left hand was filled with novacaine an hour before the Georgia heavyweight knocked out Phil Scott Monday night, the London Daily Mail said today- It was a left hook which dropped Scott for the final count. “An hour before the bout W. L.’s hand hurt him so badly that I called a specialist who injected novacaine to deaden the pain,” said Pa Stribling.
in. And they still are without a solution. The problem is to admit all women fans free on ladies’ day without turning away the male cash customers. It was announced today that as many women will be turned away Friday as will be admitted free as a result of the failure of the latest system to cut down the number of requests for free tickets. Originally women were admitted to the park without tickets, but when the crowds became too large and left the cash-paying males at the turnstiles, the club tried a system whereby women called at the park on Wednesday for free tickets for Friday’s game. It had no effect, however, and was eliminated. Then, last week the club advertised that 17,500 tickets would be issued by mail for next Friday’s game in the order in which requests were received. More than 37,500 women have mailed requests for the 17.500 tickets for Friday. ATHLETICS BUY SUMMA Coast League Outfield Star Goes Up; Cramer to Portland. B,U Times Special PORTLAND, Ore., July 31.—Homer Summa, Portland Beavers’ star outfielder, has been sold to the Philadelphia Athletics and will report at once, it was announced today.

The board recently refused to grant an extensioil and said he would have to leave the country, but later consented to grant him a hearing. WINGS RETAIN PILOT Southworth Signs for 1931 With Rochester I. L. Club. Billy Southworth’s signing to manage the Red Wings again in 1931 was not unexpected, although there were fears that Billy the Kid might be tempted with lucrative offers by sortie' of the many clubs around the country looking for pilots. Winning two . straight pennants and having his team intrenched in first place in the quest for a third flag is reason enough to believe that a manager will remain at the helm, and that’s why the fans weren’t surprised.

The St. Louis Browns moved within two points of the sixth-place Chicago White Sox by winning a double-header from Donie Bush’s team, 3-2, and 6-1. Seven errors by the Chicago infield helped the Browns win the first game, which went ten inningsCleveland wasted its hits as Detroit beat the Indians on nine hits, 6-5. Cleveland made fourteen hits. Excellent relief pitching by Igarl Whitehill after Hoyt had weakened saved the Tigers. The New York Giants won from the Boston Braves, 5-2, Eddie Marshall starring with four hits in four times at bat in place of the ailing Travis Jackson at shortstop. Pittsburgh moved within one game of fourth place by beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-5, for the second straight day. Dick Bartell's single in the eighth drove in two runs, winning the game.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 31.—’The biggest mystery of the 1930 major league season is the failure of the Phillies, with two .400 hitters in their lineup and a team batting average of .328, to get out of the National League cellar.

batters, they continue to sink deeper into the mire. A partial answer to the Phillies’ failure may be traced to weak defensive play and ineffective pitching, particularly the latter, but Phil Collins’ record routs the supposition that a fair pitcher can’t win for them.

this season for the last-place outfit. Burt Shotton, a capable manager, piloted the Phillies to fifth place last season and had visions of getting the club into first division this year on the strength of its powerful attack. The Phillies, with Klein and O’Doul tearing the cover off the ball every day, are back where they started from, and appear to be getting worse daily. The situation has become so intolerable that Shotton has intimated that he will break up his team, sacrificing O’Doul and others to get capable pitchers. Brooklyn is understood to be seeking O’Doul for the 1931 season, with Dazzy Vance mentioned as a possible bait for the Phillies. Vance, who is 37, has pitched only fair baseball for the league-leaders this season, winning ten games and losing ten. Shotton plans to rebuild the Phillies around Chuck Klein, who seems to be about the best offensive player in the National League this season. Klein leads the National League in batting with an average of .408; leads his league In runs batted in, with 110; leads both leagues in hits, with 161; leads both-leagues in runs scored, with 114; leads the National League in doubles, with thirty-three, and is second in home runs, with twenty-nine. Every player in the Phillies’ lineup is a .300 hitter, with the exception of Tommy Thevenow, who is batting .294, and Denny Southern, who is batting .288. The Phillies have proved one of the worst road clubs in the history of the National League season, winning only eight out of forty-four games abroad for an average of .182.

Fourteen runs on nine hits were scored by the Corridenites in their last two chances at the plate. They went to bat in the seventh trailing 4 to 3, after knotting the count at 3-a!l in the preceding frame. Two singles by Angley who, incidentally, had a perfect night with four singles and a double in five trips to the platter, and safeties by Narlesky and Barnhart, together with three walks, a sacrifice and two errors, gave the home boys eight runs. They added six more tallies in the eighth on two walks, a wild pitch, an error and five singles. With the exception of Joe Strlpp at first, Harry Heilmann, veteran slugging outfielder, and Ford at second, the Redlcgs used their regular lineup. Bob Muesel, the former Yankee who has been hitting ’em far and often for Howley’s crew, had only one official trip to the plate. After Monahan had dropped an easy throw in the third filling the bases, the veteran came to bat and was retired on strikes by Ambrose. Barnhart’s homer in the flrst inning with Monahan on the paths, gave the Tribesmen an early lead, but bunched hits allowed the Cincy boys to score once each in the next three innings. Hoffman's single, a walk and a passed ball resulted in the Tribe’s one marker in the sixth. Rudy Kepler, the Pennsylvania collegiate hurler, got his first chance on the Tribe mound, and didn’t even stay long enough to get accustomed to the lights. Ambrose was taken out for pinch-hitter Cvengros in the seventh. Kepler went to work in the eighth and propelled four balls plateward, three of which were hit for singles without retiring a man. Mulrooney was rushed in and retired the side and was effective in the ninth, giving up but one blow in the two frarpes. a a a THE Reds were the first major league club to try their luck under the Mazdas. Dan Howley, the peppery Cincy pilot, was not overenthusiastic about the arcs, claiming that Cuccinello, Dressen and Durocher were the only boys on his club ablt to hit in their accustomed style.
"The chief reason it won’t be a success is that major league fans demand major league baseball and you can’t play the big time game when you can’t see the half half the time," Howley said after the game. u u tt Bob Meusel gave yp after three innings with the remark: “Dan. once .that thing hits the ground it looks like an aspirin tablet when you can see it at all. This stuff may be the solution of financial problems of minor league owners, but up in the big time where they expect good fielding they’ll save money by not putting in lighting plants.” a a a Lena Stiles, veteran catcher, said he did not see half the low balls that were thrown at him ‘Why shin guards have stopped as mat v of the low ones as have hit mv glove.” he said. "It's all right as long as they stay above the hitter's waist, but you can’t do anything with the low ones. tt tt tt Howley expressed a belief night baseball would affect the major leagues whether they adopted it or not. "Playing at night these young players won't be accustomed to daylight when they finally get Into the majors,” he said. "I don’t think ther’ll last long after playing under these lights.” EXPECT RECORD CROWD Notre Dame to Open Grid Season on New Field. Bv United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 31.
