Talking It Over BY DANIEL Batting for Joe Williams)

NEW YORK, Aug. s.— Baseball writing seem* to have lost some of it* old picturesque quality and piquancy of delineation. Take those Dodgers for a case in point. Fifteen or twenty years ago they would have been nominated the Miracle Men or Robbie s Riotei? or sou.’ such nifty name requiring the utmost inventiveness and penetration But in this matter of fact age your Uncle Robbies gallants go along achieving deeds which rival those of Ned Hanlon s great Super - bas. and they are referred to merely and prosaically as Dodgers or Robins. mum Os coartc tie tmat ia me*or* are re*pflMl>lc. Twenty year* a* it was ouite tbe common thin* for the bora to carry the hero of the afternoon off the Bel 4. At time* tbli wa a more than vieorooa ttttore. aa the hero wa* likely to and heaty with the beer* of the ni*ht bem m • nut the worshippers of the (tods of the diamond carried tbe.r men *ven though they attflEgured. The writers sot their cues from the staerers. from the Brooklyn o *heno^er*"tt> s&."£&g of the flv-*pecaed case mirrors. IN some parts of the National League a valiant endeavor is being made to coin suitable designations and even slogans for the Dodgers, but these efforts, unhappily are surrounded with the spirit of sour grapes. In some cities the Brooklyns are referred to as the nightmares of the National League. There is an underhand crack in there somewhere. The imputation teems to be that the Dodgers cavort after dark. In Chicago they call the Dodgers the clown dub that has gone dramatic or is It goofy? Well, anyhow, it's ouite plain to see that Chicago is Jealous. If those Brooklyns are clowns the other cities of the league wouldn't mind acquiring a three-ring circus. mum The Giants have thought up a lot of things to call the Dodgers In fact, some of McGraw's geniuses composed inspired designations on the spur of the Ebbetts field Sunday evening, when Umpire ■lords s decision forced in the run that beat the New Yorks. In so far as the Giants are concerned, those Dodgers are everything that represents trouble, woe. grief and a pain In the neck. The reason ties in the fact that the Brooklyns are a double menace to Giant pocketbooks. mum LAST season, when it became apparent that both the Yankees and Giants were going nowhere but home after the pennant season, there was considerable talk of a city series. Finally Colonel Ruppert and Charley Stoneham announced that they wanted none of that municipal championship stuff. But they did hint at a permanent arrangement in the future to match the highly interested and financially successful cities series which for years has been a feature in Chicago. mam Welt if those Brooklyn Miracle, men. or Robbie’s Rioters, or anything else vou wart to call them, win that pennant. Hooey goes all chance of a Bronx-Harlem imbroglio. While nothing has been sad about a city series—while the Giants still have a corking chance lo grab the gonfalon, as they used to nut It—it is practically a rertainty that no Gtant-Yankee games wou'd be olaved in opposition to a class.c In Flatbusb. mum This condition has given anew Incentive to the Giants. Not that they require anv additional impetus to wish to beat the Dodgers. But every time they face • Brooklyn pitcher they see another threat against their bankrolls, and they sock with vehemence, if not venom. But those Dodgers keeo rolling along—and Steve McKeever insists the world series tickets will be green. mom BASEBALL certainly has changed. League presidents make speeches about the admirable spirit of restraint of your modern player. He accepts the decision of the umpire with equanimity, and even deference. This may lengthen the lives of the umpires, but may tend to create diamond dullness. mum Sot so many years ago it would have been suicide for an umpire to call a ball and force in the winning run. aa did Jorda in Brooklyn. Sunday. *l* . ntrelv surrounded him. reminded him that he might have made a mistake and "raneed out. Jorda put up hi* umpiracal dukes and looked surnrtsed when nobody bashed him on the Seek. mum Out in the Pacific Coast League anew -oint of restraint has developed—a spirit that presents the other cheek and then goes to court about it. Some time ago an nmotre and Buz Arlett of the Oakland Club had a mixup. and Arlett came out f it with something like fifteen stitches in hi. head. The umpire waved his mask, and Arlett was waived to the hospital. mum Now Arlett la suing the league for SIO.MS. It seems that the incident cancelled the deal for the sate of Bun to the Dodgers. It’s a fine day when the player, and not the umpire, is taken to the hospital. The came is losing virility.

With Hens j

■imuid* ii * • Carl Mays THE original submarine pitching king, old Carl Mays, is coming into the American Association as a member of the Toledo Hens. The Hens are in the thick of the pennant fight, only four and one-half games back of the leading Colonels, and Manager Stengel has a hunch Mays will be able to win a few games down the stretch. Mays is coming from Portland in the Coast League, where he was battered badly not long ago during a clubhouse fight with another player.

The International and Pacific Coast circuits already have voted to defy the draft and accept the challenge. The American Association is expected to follow suit and join the movement to carry on as a “triple entente” without affiliation with the majors. Two Minors Will Join It is generally believed that the two other non-selective leagues, the Three-Eye and Western, will be guided by the action of the Class AA Leagues, with a possibility of a complete realignment of organized baseball. Acceptance of the major league draft demands would bring an end to the era of high prices paid by big league clubs for minor stars, while refusal will bring open warfare with the ref using to buy, sell or loan players to nondraft leagues. The conference of the Class AA leagues originally was called to consider renewal and revision of the minor league agreement, but that business has been subordinated by the draft problem. War in Prospect The draft dispute is of long standing. Under the National agreement, made in 1920, minor league clubs were granted the privilege of rejecting the draft and five leagues, the Western, Three-I, International, Pacific Coast and American Association, accepted immunity. Since that time the American and National Leagues have attempted to force the draft on the nonselective leagues, but without The three class AA circuits rejected all concessions by the major leagues and refused to consider any change in the agreement. Now that the major leagues have adopted the “big stick” policy the class AA circuits are even more opposed to changing their stand and a bitter baseball war is in prospect. Indians Represented Norman Perry, president, and William Clauer, secretary, were in Chicago today to represent the Indians at the class AA powwow A o vote on the big leagues’ draft ultimatum. It was the opinion of the Tribe officials that the American Association would vote to break with the majors. TWO YANKS SET PACE By United Press LONDON.

4 Hurlers | Battle for Win Title Ferrell Leads With 18; Lyons, Grove Have 17, Earnshaw 16. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. s.—Wesley Ferrell, young Cleveland right-hander, is the first major league pitcher to win eighteen games this season. After a nip-and-tuck race with Ted Lyons, Chicago White Sox ace, for several weeks, Ferrell finally forged ahead Monday when he annexed his eighteenth victory, while Lyons failed in his effort to chalk up his eighteenth triumph, losing in the twelve innings to Detroit, when Charley Gehringer hit a home run with the bases loaded. Ferrell's stellar pitching this season after his sensational debut in the majors last year has definitely established the 22-year-old Cleveland hurler as one of the foremost boxmen in baseball. Model Ball Player Picked from the semi-pro ranks in 1927, Ferrell was farmed out to the Terre Haute Three-I League club in 1928, winning 20 games and losing 8. Joining the Indians last season, he won 21 games and lost 10 in his first year in fast company and by the end of the season was hailed as the greatest youngster since Christy Mathewson broke in fresh from Bucknell campus. Reared on a North Carolina farm, Ferrell is a clean cut youth, 6 feet 2 inches in height and scaling about 195 pounds. He does not drink, chew or smoke and is a model ball player on and off the field. George Earnshaw, Philadelphia Athletics, won the most games last season, hanging up 24 victories against 8 defeats. A close race promises to extend down through September between Ferrell, Lyons, Earnshaw and Grove for the honor of winning the most games this season. To date their records follow: Won. Lost. Ferrell, Cleveland 18 9 Grove, Philadelphia 1J * Lyons. Chicago - 1® Earnshaw, Philadelphia 16 6 Lyons Tops Finishers

Grove won his seventeenth victory of the season yesterday by defeating the Boston Red Sox. Grove s sixteenth victory also was over the lowly Red Sox, getting credit for the game by pitching the ninth inning of the second game of a doubleheader last Saturday. Lyons, with a sixth-place outfit, has pitched the most complete games of any major league hurler this year, with twenty-one to his credit. His nearest rival in this respect is Harry Seibold, Boston Braves, who has turned in seventeen complete games. Only two National League pitchers who won more than a dozen games this season. Ray Kremer, Pittsburgh, has won fourteen games and lost eight and Seibold has won thirteen and lost nine. Hinkle Confers With Crisler Bu Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. s.—Rumors that Paul (Tony) Hinkle, who coached Butler university of Indianapolis to a national court championship in 1928-29, would become head basketball coach at the University of Minnesota were renewed today when the Hoosier mentor arrived here for a conference with Fritz Crisler, newly-appointed athletic director. Hinkle and Crisler were classmates at the University of Chicago and were athletic team-mates. Minnesota has been seeking Hinkle’s services since last year.

Elmer Ambrose put over a huge surprise Monday night out at the illuminated ball park by holding the Kansas City Blues to six hits while the Indians went on to annex the series opener, 11 to 4. Until the ninth, the visitors' safety total was three, when the first three men up in the final frame connected for drives, Grigsby socking a home run, Ambrose weakened in the fourth, but recovered and with a huge lead backing him up it was a rather easy victory for the right hander. The Corriderutes pounded the leather for sixteen hits and in the fourth session rallied for six runs. Maley was knocked out of the box and Fette also was hit hard when he relieved Maley, but settled down later. Thomas hurled the eighth for the Blues. The home nine piled up ten runs in the first four rounds and put the contest beyond reach of Eddie Zwilling’s pastimers who went big Sunday by bumping the leagueleading Colonels twice. Howard Freigau led the Tribe attack with three hits and a walk and everybody in the Hoosier lineup got one or more safeties.
