Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, March 23—The American League In particular and baseball in general lost a loyal friend and worker in the sudden death of E. S. Barnard, the junior organization’s chief executive. Baeba.l! vm the only thine in which Barnard was deeply Interested. This io*. Icaltv followed a lifo exclusively dedicated to the fame, first as a baseball writer, next as an under office clerk in the Cleveland rlob and then successively as the club president and the league president. tt a tt Barnard was probably the most thoroughly qualified leader any baseball league ever had. because he knew baseball from every angle. Essentially an executive type, he was at the same time a keen student of the mechanics and the stratagems of the game. tt tt tt I never talked with any manager who knew more about how the game ought to be played, and there was no umpire in his league who knew more about the technicalities of play than the tall, erect, forceful Barnard. a a tt HAD he lived he would have become a very distinguishes personality in baseball. He was just getting to be known to the public. There is something cruelly ironic in the death that takes him away just when he had managed to get to the top after so many years of obscure, yet consistently effective, work, it savors of a raw decision, a tt tt Barnard would never have grown into a widely popular figure. Like nan John ,n his early days, for example. He lacseu Johnson's boisterous amability and pcouliar flair for shownmanship And besldes be. was too Intensely absorbed in the pr lems which beset his office. tt a a Barnard moyed ln a friends who k M Lanais. esteemed him hUWy- Juii.eK. i mm me basebah c ommissiuuei. t r eme n d °ua reSS'f'or B£Ur& as a-*** tt tt a UNTIL Barnard moved into the office the American League had known but one other president— En And. oddly, it was Johnson who brought American League years ago Barnard came to the Cleveland club from a *poiU editor’s chair VV.

The boys knew Johnson would have to get out so they held an informal council of war in the brewery. tt a a Ed Barrow of the Yankees could have •he fob. but he didn’t want tt. and Rupert'didn’t want him to leave New York. Barnard was an eouallv desirable choice. His name was put in nomination by diaries Comiskey. Which must have been a precious moment for this crochcty old gentleman, bitterly hostile to Johnson, once his closest friend. tt tt tt Whether the boys eat, around the big copper vats. hoi6ted steins and yodelea Wagnerian harmonies is not in the record:.. But none the less st was in the brewerv that the Barnard boom became an actuality. Naturally there was nothing obscene or bawdy about such a procedure for all its uniqueness. More than one White House career. I am told, has been formulated in the. back room of a cheerful tavern.

Members of the Em-Roe League have feeling their oats lately, picking on Times’ employes, and it would not surprise the writer if a special match game, involving these parties, was rolled in the near future. Sweepstakes bowlers will be 5n their glory over the week-end. At the Delaware alleys a 200-scratch singles wil be rolled, players shooting as often as they lise, for' an entry fee of $1.25 per set.

Bowlers can roll as often as they desire, but must change partners each time. Entry fee is $1.25 per man. In addition to the men’s doubles play, the women teams will also roll on the Illinois. in the $lO9 guarantee. 900 scratch team event. An entry fee of $8 per team covers all charge/ - in this event,.

The famous Hartman team of Detroit failed in their attempt to land among the first ten in the A. B. C. meet at Buffalo. This club claims the match game championship of the world, but the drives at Buffalo treat them all anke. The two teams from Indianapolis, Indianapolis Tool and Falls City Lager, have some of the best bowlers in the cltv enrolled in their lineups, the veteran Jess Pritchett taking leading honors, closely followed by Abbott, Mounts, Fulton and Snyder, who have proven best under fire. The recent form displayed by John Fehr will keep him in the limelight when he steps on the drives. Schleimer and Westover also will knock down their share of the wood. Roberson, Mack and Morris are real bowlers, but do net have the experience of their teammates. If either of these clubs get away to a good start, new leaders can be expected to appear, with Indianapolis tacked on the end.

Hoosiers Get Cash and Idol of Senator Fans in Trade; New Indian Batted .335 Last Season, Drove in 105 Runs and Stole 28 Bases. SARASOTA, Fla., March 28.—Ollie Tucker, the holdout outfielder, has been marked off the roster of Johnny Corriden's Indians and in his place comes Emmett McCann, capable first saeker and idol of Columbus fans, who swatted to the tune of .335 last year playing as a regular with
Nemo Lei'joid’s pastimers. The transaction was a trade, with the Indians receiving a small cash sum on the side. The Tribe bosses believe the deal is all in their favor wonig to the fact Tucker refused to play night baseball. McCann has been a mainstay in the American Association several years. Emmett is of the aggressive type, is experienced at both first and second bases and still retains speed on the paths, his theft record last season being twentyeight steals. Furthermore, while compiling his batting abverage of .335 he batted in 105 runs and was ninth in the league in this important department of statistics. His big league experience was gained with the Philadelphia Athletics and Cincinnati Reds, and only last year he was voted the most popular play on the Columbus roster. McCann bats and throws right-handed, and hia ccoming gives the Indians three first basemen, the

thers being Monahan and Bonura. Emmett’s age is given as 30. Washington park fans will recall him as one of the best hustlers to visit there with the team from the Buckeye capital.
The Indians disposed of a slugger when they traded Tucker, but Ollie does not compare with McCann as a fielder and base runner. Tucker batted .353 in fifty-one games, but was poor on defense, and pilfered only one base! Moreover, there was reason to believe his salary demands were clear out of proportion to the Tribe pay roll. McCann took part in 151 games in 1930 and collected 207 hits, including thirty-seven doubles, nine triples and four home runs. His coming will solve the first base problem for Manager Corriden and next w 7 ill oe the job of landing a new second baseman, one or two new outfielders and perhaps two more pitchers.
Laßarba had a fight, the winner of which was to get a shot at Bat. The fight was with Kid Chocolate, one-time flashy Cuban. Laßarba won. Chocolate, however, was hitting the skids about that time and Battalino named the vanquished Cuban rather than the victorious Californian as deserving of a title chance. Thus it is no more than likely that the perverse Battalino will elect to meet Francis. The Laßarba-Francis fight, although held before a crowd of only 8,000, one of the smallest of the season, was one of this season's best. They fought on virtually even terms for the first two rounds but by the time the sixth round was reached Laßarba was off to such a commanding lead that Francis could never overtake him. It was with his left hand that he wen his way to victory, a triumph which established the Californian as the uncrowned featherweight champion. This is because almost every boxing writer regards either Francis or Laßarba as superior to the current titlist.

CLEVELAND MINISTER IN LENTEN SERMON Professing Christians are the channels through which the "desert of need” in the world today may be refreshed. Dr. M. B. Fuller, Cleveland, declared in the Lenten service at the First Baptist church today at noon. In the world-wide "desert of need*' Dr. Fuller cited China, with her conservatism; Europe, with her militarvism; America, with her materialism, and India, with her individualistic mysticism. “The refreshing water for this desert," he said, “is found in the personality and teaching cf Jesus. Nations are but individuals aggregated. May we not conceive that a blessed discontent’ has been aroused in them through the proclamation of the Evangel, God’s Fatherhood, and the worth of personality, that can only be satisfied as they recognize their own inadequacy without him.” Z eel ?’ noond2 y sendees will be held daily with Dr. O W Fifer superintendent of the Indianapolis district, Methodist church, as the speaker.
