Talking It Over 3Y JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, March 24.—There may be some sense in being a judicial officer appointed or elected to preside in courts ot law. Particularly in Mannattan where it is frequently revealed that such gentleman, by dint of rigorous economy and extreme frugality are able to bank $150,000 out of a handsome $7,000 .-alary per annum. a a a Eat anybody should crave to be a fiarht ref tree, a baseball umpire, a track and field Judse. or the like, is not very clear. At (be very best the financial remuneration is sliaht. and the .social distinction is no better than negltcibie. There is also the constant possibility of being subjected to public ridicule, pervonai insu'ts by the well bred competitors and. in the mere eatr-me cases, physical violence. a a a In bis da v. Ed Walsh was probably the areatest spltbal pitcher in the game, and it melt was something of a national idol. VI.::. tine old tip—which. I believe, is the technical phrase for it—departed from his arm. Walsh decided to be coin e ar. umpire. a a u Ihe business looked pretty easy. Besides the customers were for him. Hadn’t they always stood up and given him the warming hoopla and frenzied “attaboy!” I believe Walsh lasted a couple of seasons as an umpire. “This business is all jeers and no cheers.” complained Walsh. “I want no more of it.” nan BILLY EVANS, now general manager of the Cleveland ball club, climbed out of a press box in Youngstown, 0., to become a distinguished umpire and noted rules authority. Evans broke into the game more than twenty years ago. It was pretty tough in those days. President Ban Johnson hadn’t yet succeeded in bringing a note of gentility to the spectacle. Barrooms flourished under the grand stands. a a a One of Evans’ first appearances was at the White Sox park in Chicago. He umpired behind the bat. His co-workcr was Jack Sheridan, a famous official in those days. It was a fairly tight bail game and along about the fifth inning the customers in the stands began to throw half pint whisky bottles at Sheridan, who had taken up a nonpartisan position of judicial caim in the vicinity of first base. a a a A shower of glass fell around Sheridan, but he effected an attitude of complete indifference. This was very mystifying and alarming to the youthful and uninitiated Evans. •t tt a In a moment ot peace Evans murmured: ‘Why don’t you move over back of third i bate where it is safer.” To which con- - ’.lrlcrate suggestion Sheridan replied: These fellow-, never worry me in April. 1 ft’s ip July that V keep an eye on them. Tlv that time they have cot their control.” Vluncle Fetes Cage Champs By 7 in' es Special MUNCIE, Ind., March 24.—Mun- j cic; Bearcats, 1931 Indiana high school hardwood champions, today started a round of banquets.

TRIBESMEN SEEK SECOND VICTORY OVER YANKEES

Riddle’s Triple Ends Eleven-Inning Battle Johnny's Blow Scores Fitzgerald to Give Indians Win Over New Yorkers; Burwell and Daney Perform Well on Hoosier Slab. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor SARASOTA. Fla., March 24 Hats off to Jchnny Corriden! The peppery pilot of the Indianapolis Indians, finishing in last place in 1930 in the American Association race, achieved the honor in Sarasota Monday of nosing out the New York Yanks, 4 to 3, in eleven innings, and today ; the Tribe manager was to send his athletes against the same Yanks in a return game in St Petersburg.

Monday’s game was the second victory over big league opposition this spring, and the triumph bears out the opinion that the Hoosiers have the foundation of a formidable squad if certain spots are filled, as suggested by The Times correspondent, to wit: Second base, a right-handed hitting outfielder who can run, two new pitchers of experience and perhaps anew first sacker. Manager Corriden planned to use Mike Cvengros, veteran right-hander, as starting pitcher in the return tilt with the Yanks at St. Petersburg today. He got by against the Phillies at Winter Haven the other day and Corriden figured that Mike might puzzle the Yankees this aiternoon. Anyway Cvengros needs actual game competition to gain control, and the Tribe field boss thought it a wise idea to use the southpaw against the big leaguers. It was a grand slam for the Indians in Sarasota Monday as they battled the Yankees and w r on in two extra rounds. It was the ‘‘big day” in a baseball way for this lively city on the west coast of Florida, and the battle was hard fought. The Yankees used Henry Johnson on the mound for eight innings, and Sherid finished, and the Indians employed Bill Burwell for five rounds and Lee Daney the remainder of the way. Johnny Riddle was the hero when he blasted a triple off Sherid in the eleventh to score Narlesky with the winning run. Narlesky led off in the eleventh with a single, his third safety of the afternoon.

Wolfe failed to sacrifice and thereupon Riddle produced the long wallop that ended the fracas. The Indians had the contest sewed up going into the ninth, 3 to 1, but the infield blew up and the big leaguers scored twice without getting the ball out of the infield. Montague, Daney and Wolfe went to pieces on the defense in the big pinch in the ninth, and it took two extra stanzas to reach a decision. The Yanks got only eight hits in the eleven rounds and the Indians

Tribe Camp Chatter “ ——BY EDDIE ASH

SARASOTA, Fla., March 24.—8i1l Burwell puzzled the Yankees Monday and had four assists himself in five innings. He kept

pitching low. Lee Daney hurled the last six rounds and came through again in fine style. The real redskin has plenty of courage. but is rather frail for duty over the long route. Manager Corriden lias about reached the point where he is changing his mind about Daney an and evidently plans to retain the right-hander for

Daney

relief services. Where others have wilted this spring, Daney has been Johnny-on-the-spot. Manager Corriden had a brainstorm In the ninth Monday when the Yankees stored twice to tie the game without getting the ball out of the infield. He claimed the inner works failed to follow instructions from the bench. However, as things ended, it was a fine victory for Corriden. The contest nearly was settled in the tenth when Fitzgerald doubled after one out, Monahan walked and

league, a circuit without organized connections, has been turned down by club officials because of a ruling barring players out of favor with Judge Landis. , O’Connell was thrown out of baseball for the alleged offering of a SSOO bribe to Heinie Sands, Philadelphia infielder, “not to bear down” in a game with the New York Giants. Inasmuch as the Phillies were trailing the league at the time and were considered a cinch for the Giants, with whom O'Connell was playing, the deal has always been one of the unsolved mysteries of baseball. JACK REYNOLDS WINS Jack Reynolds, vet welterwight title claimant, defeated Don Cortez in straight falls at Tomlinson hall Monday. Reynolds won the first fall in 22 minutes; the second in 10. Merle Dolby and Tetsura Hygami went thirty minutes to no fall and Johnny Carlin tossed Buck Lipscomb in 14 minutes in preliminaries. MARTINSVILLE WINNER Martinsville Skeet Club won a three-way fifty-target team match at Spring Lake Skeet Club Monday with 222 out of 250. Fort Harrison of Terre Haute and Spring Lake were other entries. H. Reddick of Spring Lake top individual scorers with %

garnered eleven. Babe Ruth stayed in action for most of the pastiming, leaving late in the game when he thought his assignment had been filled. He got one hit, a single, in four times up, but hit the ball hard on two other occasions. Curt Walker robbed him of a hit in the fourth by a dazzling catch and Koenecke backed into the wildwood in the eighth to nail the Bambino’s long fly. Ruth gave the fans real entertainment by keeping active before the game got under way. Middleweight Series Starts By United Press CHICAGO, March 24.—First of a series of middleweight elimination bouts to select anew 160-pound champion will open at the Coliseum here tonight. The tournament is sanctioned by the National Boxing Association. Tait Littman, Milwaukee, and Willie Oster, Boston, will meet in the ten-round feature bout. Haakon Hansen, Norway, and Pete Susky, Scranton, Pa., will clash in the tenround semi-final. In another tenround bout My Sullivan, St. Paul, will face Harvey Heffner, Denver,

Walker singled to left. Walker’s safety was a line hit and Corriden, coaching at third, thinking the ball would be caught, held up Fitz just enough to slow him down for an out at the plate when Fred Walker made a perfect throw. Henry Johnson piled up seven strikeouts but the Indians solved his stuff in the pinches. In the tenth Koenecke juggled Karion’s nv alter a run. but kept after the agate and recovered it for the out. Monahan played a great gar'" r o~ 'bIndians at first base in the field. Lou Gehrig drew three walks oceupvi.'t same position for New York and also starred on defense. The defeat by a minor league club was bitter to Jake Ruppert, president of the Yankees. First he was in the grandstand and later moved to the bleachers to escape the panning of the Tribe rooters. It was one of the most unusual skirmishes of the spring training season with runs being made in only four innings of eleven. Attendance was about 700, exclusive of school children admitted free. THREE SCRAPS SIGNED Three of the five scraps to be staged at Riverside arena Friday night have been arranged according to Promoter Bill Bowman.

EDITOR’S NOTE—This is the second oi a series dealing with IS3I prospects ot the various major leaeue baseball clubs. BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, March 24.—With the best all-round pitching staff in its league, a crack infield, and a slugging outfield, the Washington Senators are expected to be in the thick of the American League fight from April to October. The Senators finished second last year, eight games behind the Athletics. This year, according to Owner Clark Griffiths and Manager Walter Johnson, there again will be an eight game margin, but the Senators, not the A.s will hold it. There are several reasons for their optimism, the first and most important being the pitching staff of Alvin Crowder, Lloyd Erown, Irving (Bumps) Hadley, Sad Sam Jones and Fred Marberry. Crowder won eighteen games in 1930, Brown 16, and the other three fifteen' each. Supporting the “big-five” is Bob Burke, a left-hander of much promise. The Washington hurling staff, it will be remembered, had the best earned-run average in the league last season, allowing but 3.96 earned runs per game. The infield that played through

Hari-y Rice and Davis Harris, both experienced men, will understudy the regular outfield. Roy Spencer again will do most of the catching, with Pinky Hargrave and Cliff Bolton as substitutes.

New Infield Is Developed by Indiana Coach By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 24. —Facing the problem of rounding up a lineup for the first game of the season with Xavier university at Cincinnati on April 2, Indiana university coaching staff directed a stiff workout this afternoon in developing an infield from green material. Only one infield veteran, Art Thomas at third base, is back from the 1930 baseball team. The outfield, on the other hand, has a host of veterans from the last two seasons. Veterans who will take care of the outfield include the following; Marion Dross, John Banka, Merrill May, James Hickey and Ambrose Rascher.
