Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 23.—They carried the Babe off the field In Boston Wednesday. A muscle In one of his legs back fired on him, and he wound up in a local hospital on the first bounce. The Babe isn’t the man he used to be. toelther Is King Alfonso for that matterBut this Is rushing the hospital season t or him—usually he manages to remain In an upright position until July or August. _ _ It used to be that when the Babe toppled over in a gaudv heap and the morticians came galloping gouUahly after the remains It was always advisable to dismiss the Incident with a few chaste lines of type. Those who defied tradition and ground out columns of pessimistic speculations were invariably confounded a day or so later by the spectacle of Mr. Ruth rislr.g phoenlx-Uke from his own ashes (a truly astonishing bit of business, and wall worthy of the genius of Houdlni) a bigger and better Bambino. But that was back In the day* whan the Babe was younger, hla capacity for punishment greater and It was Infinitely easier to throw off the aches and pains. It's a bit different with him today. He’s going on 38. and that’s pretty old In baseball. a a a THE Babe always has been a smashing type of player, too. He’s never saved himself. He’s thrown his ponderous frame around the bases with all the fury of a Cobb and he’s crashed into more than one concrete wall going after a long fly at a critical stage. Possibly this does not Imply a very bound mind but if you lily your ball players with spirit. Mr. Ruth is or was your candidate. As I say things are a bit different with the Babe today and when he goes down now vou can never be sure that he Is going to come up completely all right. Some of the pitchers say the Babe ain't, human but the old gent with the scythe never heard that gag. If he did it doesn’t mean anything to him. This Is the Babe's last year on his old Contract. Before the season started he was optimistic. He figured he had at least an even chance to break his home run record of sixty for a single campaign. “All I need to do Is stay in the ball game and keep swinging.’’ he said. 'And that ought to be easy because I’m In fine shape. Yet April finds the Babe propped up in a hospital bed taking his baseball In homeopathic doses. . . Os course he may not be there long, but the ominous part of this Is that he is down wl h a leg injury anti the season has scarcely begun. These leg Injuries are never very docile. They are apt to come back on you at the slightest provocation. And when vou are crowding forty the hazard is lust that much greater. So. the chances are the Babe won tbreak anv home run records this season. Every dav he is out reduces his chances. What Is more Important to the Yankees as a. team his absence adds nothing to their pennant hopes. it if it THINGS had begun to look a lit- | tie brighter up around the Stadium since Herb Pennock showed that he is still a great pitcher. The Yankee’s hadn’t counted much on Pennock. He’s another old geezer and his arm has had the miseries for a couple of years. I think the idea in the business office was to string along with him for another season and then gently ease him out. But on early season form Pennock ranks es the most dependable pitcher on the staff, and with him pitching In something like his. old-time form and the Baba m there every day it would not have been too fantastic to bracket the Yankees with the Athletics and the Senators as popular thoices for the pennant. _ . Os course, sooner or later the Babe will pass definitely from the box scores. It won’t be so easy to see him go. He has been Quite a guv. take him bv and large. No star has had more ups and downs or accepted them with a finer philosophy. He has made all the stops on the circuit of folly. a a a THERE never was a more reckless or roisterous rookie than the left-handed pitcher who reported to the Boston Red Sox back in 1914—“ wearing a yegg cap and smoking a cigar that looked like a yard of plumbing.” He was fresher than the new mown hay. Pitching against the Tigers one day he buzzed a fast one over the plate. At least It was over the plate as he saw it. Mr. Brick Owens was the umpire. Mr. Brick Owens is a very able citizen with his dukes. . , . , , , , Mr Brick Owens took a brief squint at the pitch, threw back his well lubricated tonsils and bellowed "ball one!” Our hero did not like that. He maintained it was a perfect strike. “And what’s more if you call another one like that I’ll smash you on the kisser.” Our hero went back to the hillock or mound, spat angrily in his glove, circled his arms above his head and sent another fast one roaring down the slot. “Ball two” shrieked Mr. Brick Owens. Whereupon our hero walked up to Mr. Brick Owens and promptly smashed him t>n the kisser. , _ , That’s one nice thing about the Babe —when he says he’ll do a thing, you cap ffepend on him. . . ... “I was just plain nuts in those days.” the Babe tells vou now when he gets to reminiscing. “They used to say when you went to the big league vou had to be tough and I didn’t lose anv time trying to make good ” In fact those who knew the gentleman In his salad days report that he didn’t even have to take a warm up in order to be tough. It was a gift.

CANZONERI, BERG RISK TITLES IN SCRAP TONIGHT

Briton Is Favorite Tony’s Lightweight Crown, Jack’s Junior Welter Toga at Stake. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 24.—The lightweight championship, which changed hands twice last year on first round knockouts, will be at stake again tonight when Tony Canzoneri of New York, 135-pound titleholder, meets Jack (Kid) Berg, English challenger, in a ten-round bout at Chicago Staudium. Actually two ■llliPf Jllllk ltlies in ‘ volved as Berg W vP* holds the junior welterweight \-fc h a m p i o n ship, \ W and for the first • V -time in ring history a title must be won and lost / . < regardless of the The outcome V ' pivots around Canzoneri Berg’s ability to make the lightweight limit of 135 pounds and retain the strength and stamnia to keep up his tireless attack. Berg has made 135 pounds before without sapping his energy. Berg was quoted an 8-5 favorite today, principally because he whipped Canzoneri when neither held a title in New York in January last year. Few doubt that if he’s strong at the weight, Berg can turn the trick again. . In their first match Canzoneri had the pink-cheeked Englishman groggy in the opening round, but couldn t finish him and wound up at the end of ten rounds a badly beaten fighter. Canzoneri, who held the featherweight title for eight months in

Hafey Accepts Terms

By United Press ST. LOUIS, April 24.—Charles (Chick) Hafey, holdout left-fielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, has agreed to accept “the club’s terms,” President Sam Breadon of the Cards announced today. Hafey is at Berkeley, Cal. He will report for duty early next week, Breadon said. The hard-hitting _fly chaser had been holding out for $13,000, refusing to meet the Cardinal offer of $12,500. This was to have been Hafey’s last day of grace. Failure to sign his contract would have meant automatic suspension. Branch Rickey, vice-president of the Cardinals, admitted the terms are slightly different from those offered in Florida, when the $12,500 figure, was the highest the Cardinals said they would go. Hafey must be “in condition to play regularly” before his salary starts, Rickey said, and intimated that a recurrence of the sinus trouble that has put the star periodically out of the game would have an effect on his pay.

K. C. Blues Will Be Next Tribe Opponent Series With Milwaukee Ends Today; Indians Rally for Six Runs in Fifth Thursday, but Lose in Twelfth as Shires Connects. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Somebody once said the pcorhouse wasn't tough enough so they put a hill in front of it, and the same goes for the struggle at the local ball yard Thursday when Brewers and Indians evidently decided nine innings were not enough to freeze the customers and the contest was stretched out to twelve stanzas to make sure the onlookers never again would ask for ice cubes in their ginger ale. At any rate, when the fracas ended, it was 6:05 West Washington street time and the Foam Blowers from the Cream City were on the long end, 11 to 9. Whataman Art Shires poked a double to right center in the third extra session to drive in two mates and it was curtains for the Tribesmen, who failed to score in their half of the moonlight round. Shires filled his mouth with fine cut and went out there and played ball to the tune of three hits, two walks and a perfect fielding’ game, his bat power driving in three runs.

It was the series opener with the Home Brews, a twice postponed opener, and the visit of Marty Berghammer’s pastimers is to end today, which by the way is “ladies’ day,” the sweet things. Pilot Johnny Corriden of the Indians planned,to start Mike Cvengros on the firing line this afternoon wiih Leslie Barnhart .first out in the bullpen. Johnny’s mound staff has caved in and if you don’t believe it, look up the statistics. Only one hurler has lasted nine innings in seven games. The Kansas City Blues will be here Saturday for a three-set match, closing Monday. Young Kubek Shines Some of that strychnine the Hoosier basketball revolutionists say was fed to the high school basketeers evidently was given to one Tony Kubek, the young Milwaukee right fielder. The Polish lad. up from the sandlots of Milwaukee and from A1 Simmons’ neighborhood, crashed the sphere for four hits, including a double, and he batted in three runs. He is the Joe Vosmik of the American Association and it is said the fans of the Cream City are hard pressed to find enough bands to greet him when the league leading Brewers return there for their home opening next Wednesday. Come From Behind The Thursday tilt was tough to lose on the part of the Tribesmen. They compelled the visitors to use four hurlers, staged a courageous rally for six runs in the fifth to gain the lead, 7 to 6, increased their advantage 8 to 6 in the sixth, only to see Bill Burwell do a weak job of pitching in the seventh that enabled Milwaukee to tie the count at 8 and 8. The Brewers stepped out and grot one run in the tenth and the Indians knotted the game in their half. The eleventh was a blank for both teams, but in the twelfth the breaks of baseball went against the home nine. With Tavener on second and one out, Connolly bounced to Wolfe whose throw to first was wide but not too wide for the agile Pete Monahan. Pete clutched the pellet and tagged Connolly before the runner reached the base, but Field Umpire Snyder, out of position, called Connolly safe, Tavener reaching third. Ge’-ken fouled to Wolfe for the second out, Connolly stole second and Burwell tossed one within reach of Art Shires’ bat. It was payday on the Wabash. Shires doubled. Tribe Errors Prove Costly Believe it or not, Jasper Jinx, the basebail vulture, has a stranglehold on the Indians. Milwaukee made one miscUe Thursday and it failed to benefit the Tribe. On the other hand, three of the Indians’ four errors accounted for three Brewer runs. And another thing. Eddie Montague got himself kicked out of the game in the fifth by Umpire Johnston and threw the Tribe defense out of gear. Summing it up. the Indians ‘‘blew”

form fast this season. In playing the round, Mrs. Jaqua took only thirty-one putts, which is five better than par figures, also meaning Mrs. Jaqua must be in top form with her chip shot. Mrs. Myrtle Schortle came under the wire with thirty-four, and Mrs. Hal Benham captured third place with thirvyfive. a a a And looking out the window Thursday brought to memory the little story sent us by Steve Hannagan, Speedway publicity man. Steve says: T. E. (Pop! Myers does a balancing act on the weather line for the next few weeks. He is general manager of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the 500-mile race is held. But he also is general manager of the eighteen-hole pay-as-you-play golf course in the Speedwaygrounds. From now until June 1. rain saddens the Speedway manager because it makes him coil in fear of rain on race day—or the pre-race practice period and the Qualifying trials. But if there is no rain, the golf course magnate frets lest the golf course, which is in such excellent condition, will not persist in blooming in splendor for the club wielders. However, despite all of Pop’s fears, the race activity increases and there were more golfers on the Speedway course in the first week of April this year than there were the entire month of April last year. It’s difficult to understand what he’s worrying about. a a a 808 WILMOTH wants to know when the Indianapolis District Golf Association will hold its tournament, which in substance is the old city tournament, plus entries from within a sixty-mile radius. The women have decided to play a three-day, 54-hole city tournament this year, the same as the men. They have selected the dates of June 22, 23 and 24 for the event. The Indianapolis Country Club will be the scene of action for the women for the entire fifty-four holes. a a a Inasmuch as the men also plan to plav one of their rounds of eighteen holes over the I. C. C. links, it is reasonable to assume the men won’t select the three above mentioned dates for their tournament. In all probabiMty the men will select some earlier week.
