Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May I.—Hereinafter I 'will refer to him as Pete Schultz, because that is his name, though he has other names ’which he has used from time to time to confuse the constabulary and for other purposes no less laudable. Mr. Schultz Is one of those amiable, aimless drifters with a congenial repugnance for labor, and you are Just as likely to come upon him in one part of the country as another. My association with the gentleman dates back to the Carpentler-Glbbons adagio. If the use of such a term is not too harsh on the dancing masters, out In Michigan when he confided that he was gathering material for a realistic piece of literature. As I remember the details, he had spent some of his earlier years slumming with Jim Tully. who was enjoying something of a vogue about that time as a sort ol unwashed Shaw. But Mr. Schultz did not seem greatly Impressed by the Tully product. Indeed he Implied that In his Judgment the stuff was entirely too effeminate. “Jim ain’t the guy he used to be." lamented Mr. Schultz, and you could tell by the way he spoke that the speaker himselm embodied all that was really worth while in a tough customer. I could not understand what there was about an ordinary prize fight that had lured Mr. Schultz to Michigan In the search of stark realism, nor was his explanation completely enlightening. He said he had always been interested In newspaper work and newspaper men and he wanted to meet some of the boys face to face, provided the shock was not too terrible and he hoped the boys would not think him overly presumptuous. I seem to recall also that he wanted to know what he had to do to crash the press section and that he could use two dollars until the following morning. Why Mr. Schultz singled me out I have never learned, but at odd and duly spaced intervals I hear from him. and Thursday's mail yielded a letter from Reno. Nev.. which waa uniaue in that It contained no reference to a touch. ana IN view of the fact that the western metropolis has reverted to the primitive custom of full houses and straights openly arrived at, this constituting an interesting experiment in social and civic welfare, I am passing along, in somewhat expurgated form, the contents of Mr. Schultz’ communication, which is as follows: “Dear Pal: I have been out here for a couple of weeks now and I wish to state it Is quite a Joint, anyway you take it. The town Is as wide open as the hole between second and short on the Philly infield and you can get action at everything from craps to faro, and the business hours are from high noon to low dawn. “As you know. Dempsey is out here getting ready to shake the baU and chain. He has been doing all right by himself. I watched him come away with four grand the other night, and if he had been playing fancy dough, he would have needed a cart.l He’s a big guy out here and everybody goes for him. “One of the papers carried a piece the other day saying that they might get things squared awsy so Dempsey could put on a big heavyweight show here this summer—maybe for the championship. Personally I think the old boy is merely stringing them along, because about the only heavyweight championship he could put on. as I see It, would be a shadow boxing match between a fellow named Dempsey and another fellow named Dempsey. And I don't believe you could even get the bovs and the gals away from the bird cage for that one. "Just the same. I wouldn't want to bet that they don’t have some sort of a championship out here before long. They've either got or getting everything else. Can you imagine what a mob Rickard would draw with that JohnsonJefTries fight out here today? They still have the picture of that fight hanging up in the poolrooms here, and the old timers will sit around and fight It over for you any time you give ’em a chance. “Dempsey tells me he Isn’t going to Cleveland to see Stribling and Schmellng, but that if they want him to referee he’ll probably take the job. He likes Stribling because he's had more fights and knows what it’s all about. But I don’t think he likes either one of them any too much.”

Down the Alleys

Larry Oobber of the Marott team tossed his best series of the season, with a stiff neck, entering the TOO club with gapes of 215; 258 and 245. a total of 718. Cobber was suffering with a boil but had to roll to fill out the team, and the result was Ma-rott’s 3.1 <2. St Philip A. C. did not have a chance against this kind of scoring. The team of Johnson and Fox outscored all other combination in the All-Star Doubles League play, having counts of 450, 449 and 425, a total og 1,324, which was good for a triple win over Myers and C. Liebtag. McNew and F. Liebtag also won three from Maron-Fahsbach, the last two by six and five pins respectively. The thrill game of the night was provided during the second game of the MountsAbbott vs. Berbeiick-Hornberger match. Mounts-Abbott rolling 459 and losing by 16 pins, against at 475. Mounts-Abbott took the rubber, however. RassmussenWelsman, Fulton-Snyder and SchlumerPritchett also won the odd game from James-Cray. Fehr-Mack and A. StreibeekHueber. Larrv Fox with 688 had the best Individual series. Twenty-Year Endowment won three games from Joint Life, as O. I. C. O. and

expected to work against the Phillies today, with Vance taking a fling at the Giants on Sunday. The Robins looked strong in whipping the Phillies, 6 to 1, Thursday. They hit in the pinches, got adequate pitching, and fielded faultlessly. It was their third win of the year. Freddie Fitzsimmons turned in a beautiful piece of pitching as the New York Giants defeated the Boston Braves, 2 to 1. Fitzsimmons allowed but two hits, while his mates got an even ten off Zachary and Cantwell. Fitzsimmons himself drove in the winning run. The victory advanced the Giants to third place in the National standings. Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati, 8 to 3, in the only other National game, the Chicago-St. Louis affair being rained out. Mickey Heath, Cincinnati first baseman and one of the most promising rookies of the season, broke his arm in a collision with Tommy Thevenow, Pittsourgh shortstop, and will be out of action for at least six weeks. In the American League, the crippled New York Yankees mustered enough strength to defeat the Philadelphia Athletics, 7 to 2. Henry Johnson" pitched fine ball for the winners. Rube Walberg hurled for the losers. Waite Hoyt pitched a steady game as the Detroit Tigers trimmed the Cleveland Indians, 9to 4. Hudlin, Miller and Craighead worked on the mound for the Indians, but were unable to stem the Detroit batters. The Chicago White Sox bested the St. Louis Browns in an eleven-in-ning game, 10 to 9. The Washington-Boston game was postponed on account of cold weather. GYM EXHIBIT HELD Men, Women and Boys Participate in Kirshbaum Evenk. The Giants, captained by Dr. Elliot Hirsh, volley ball champions of Kirshbaum Center, went down to defeat Thursday night in the feature event of the Center’s annual gym exhibition, losing to the Thunderers, led by Norman Isaacs, in two straight games, 15-13 and 15-11. Men, women, boys and girls participated in the gym exhibition, which attracted a crowd of several hundred to the Kirshbaum gym.

Twenty-Pay Life took two from TenYear Term and Ordinary Life, during the American Central Life League play. Scoring was below the usual standard, but three 600 totals appearing, Wilson having 618; Powers, 614, and Holmes, 608. Standard Grocery caught the Brookside Ice oS form and trounced them three times, during the Merchants League series. Other games played resulted in a two-time win for S. & S.

Practically Given Away Once, Chuck Klein, Hoosier Slugger, Climbs to Baseball's Dizzy Heights

EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is the second of series of three articles on the amninr baseeball adventures of Chuck Klein, slugger extraordinary of the Phils, who in three years advanced from a class B S2OO ball player to one of the most valuable men In the major leagues. BY WILLIAM BRAUCHER NEA Service Sports Editor PHILADELPHIA, May I.—When Chuck Klein was released by Evansville four years ago, he went back to the farm, a heart-broken young man. In his first venture into organized baseball, he had failed. Yet four years later he was to sign a contract with the Phillies for three years calling for nearly $15,000 a year. Klein played semi-pro ball after being given the gate at Evansville. Instead of quitting, he determined to demonstrate his worth. He continued to play baseball, because he like! the game. a a a FINALLY in August the good news came that Evansville wanted him back. He went back to Evansville with new enthusiasm. In fourteen games he slugged well over .300, including three home runs, played a great game in the outfield and then—broke his ankle sliding into first base and went back to the farm again. Undaunted, he reported to Evansville in the spring of 1928. The Fans’ Association, however, having sustained a financial sock on the chin in the preceding season, sold the Evansville franchise to Bob Coleman, and peddled the players here and there for whatever they would bring. When President Beard of the association couldn’t get anything for a player, he gave him away. Chuck Klein came very close to being one of the players Beard gave away. Ft. Wayne in the Central League, wanted Lee Walsh, first baseman. Beard offered to sell Walsh for SSOO provided Ft. Wayne also would buy Klein for S2OO. Finally Ft. Wayne made the deal, in order to get Walsh, and gave Klein a tryout in the outfield. a a a A TRYOUT was all Klein wanted. He played eighty games in the season of 1928 for Ft. Wayne,

when the season opened, this would seem to be the day for the transformation. Adolph Luque, who went out of the lineup just before the campaign opened with a split finger, and Dazzy Vance, who started late and then was called west by death in his family, both are ready to pitch. Luque is

White Sox Triumph Despite Absence of Four Regulars

By United Press CHICAGO, May I.—The Chicago White Sox, with a foothold on first division, had four regulars on the casualty list today. The White Sox won their third straight game Thursday by defeating the St. Louis Browns, 10 to 9 in eleven innings, but two of their players were injured. Third baseman Willie Kamm had to retire early when he twisted his ankle in fielding a grounder. Outfielder Mel Simons was struck on the elbow by a pitched ball in batting practice and forced out of the lineup. Ted Lyons, who won twenty-two games last season, and Smead Jolley, hard-hitting outfielder, have

WE will call this reminder day. Highland members are reminded the eighteen-hole match between interclub teams captained by J. O. Consodine and W. A. Umphrey has been moved up one week until May 9, which otherwise would have been an open date. Reason for the change is a dinner dance at the club Saturday night. But the golfers are informed the day will not be golfless. Neal Mclntyre and Louie Bola have taken care of that with a blind par and ball sweepstakes program for all members interested in golfing a bit before the dinner^ Indianapolis Country Club golfers are reminded the qualifying round for the spring handicap tournament will be played Saturday and those who cannot find time to get in an eighteen-hole round Saturday may do so Sunday. Each flight will be made up of sixteen members. There will be as many flights as player. Frizes go to winners in each flight. ,also low gross and net prizes in the qualifying round. tt a a It Is unlikely the Avalon players will get to occupy their new clubhouse this week save the use of the lower locker room. It is gratfiving to them, however, to watch the progress the workmen are making. Painters almost have completed covering the entire building with a rich mellow yellow. They were busy Thursday putting in place the last of the windows. A small area of floor is yet to be laid in the main lounge, and then the interior decorators can get busy, rain or shine. Anyway the members will celebrate the opening of the course this week with a blind par tournament Saturday and Sunday. 000 WOODSTOCK players who were rained out last Saturday will have a chance to get that blind par tournament in this week, if the weather man is kind. Meridian Hills does not have anything scheduled for this week. Broadmoor hasn’t come through yet with it-s program. 000 Highland women played a match play against par tournament today at the club with seven-eights handicap applying. Pleasant Run women players get into action nest Thursday, according to a program released by Mrs. John Cady, chairman. Avalon women out of action since April 21 trill engage in an interesting tournament next Tuesday when they play a two-bali foursome tournament (one-half the combined handicap to apply). Following the plav a luncheon and business meeting will be held. 0 0 0 We must remind you the South Grove women are preparing for the biggest veer in history. Mrs. Bernice Payne was elected president; Mies Then MiUer. vice-pres.-dant. and Mrs. Irene Gernon, secretarvtreasurer. A large number of the feminine mashie players at the Grove course attended the business meeting and Mrs. Fevne tells us the large number of women engaged in receiving group lessons from Karrv Schopp form a fertile field for new memberships. She is not overlooking the possibility of increasing the South Grove membership, program for the season will be announced soon. 000 And not to be out done, we remind you the Sarah Shank women held an interesting business meeting and election of officers for the season. Miss Clara M. Achttien was named president: Miss Dorothea Movers, vice-president; Miss Grace Marie Mullen, secretary, and Mrs. Anna E. Dobson. treasurer. Among the things discussed was a program for the season. Sunday was decided uooa as none too sen for first- action- Miss Achttien decided it will be a blind par event and invites all women 'f tt wish to enter to

slammed twenty-seven home runs and hit for an average of .380. Scout Joe O’Rourke of the Phils went down to Ft. Wayne to look him over. O'Rourke was impressed. He wired the late Bill Baker to buy Klein at once. Baker dickered with the Ft. Wayne management and got Klein for $5,000. On the last day of July, 1928, Chuck became a big leaguer. Tlie stalwart Hoosier Hercules, with the powerful arms and wrists, soon started to blast National League pitching in the same care-free way he had slugged in the Central League. At the end of the season he had compiled a batting average of .360, and in his sixty-four games that year hit eleven home runs. When Klein reported at the training camp in the south to start the season of 1929 he faced his first real test—the second year. a a a HOW did he meet that test? By a two-fisted exhibition of baseball blasting that sent records into the discard which had stood for years. First of all he set anew league home rim record with fortythree homers, cracking Hornsby’s mark that had been good for six years. He hit six homers in four consecutive games, duplicating the feats of Ken Williams and Babe Ruth. He hit three homers in three consecutive times at bat, rivaling the performances of Cap Anson, George Kelly, Babe Ruth, Elmer Smith and Ed Delehanty. In his first full season Klein made more than two hundred hits, taking rank with Willie Keeler, Lloyd Waner and Jim Williams, the only players who hit safely more than 200 times in their first years in the majors. At the end cf the season his batting average was .356. a a a LAST year he yielded the hone run crown to Hack Wilson. He rolled up a total of 40 homers against Hack’s 56, but he batted 30 points better than the Chicago slugger, compiling an average of .386, which made him the third best batter in the league. His record-breaking continued with 59 doubles, breaking the National League record of 56 set by Ed Delehanty in 1839. Klein scored 153 runs, surpassing

After being knocked out of the box in his first three starts, Tommy Thomas returned to his old form in blanking Detroit Wednesday, 3 to 0. The only other pitchers who have been able to win are Hal McKain, who has hung up three victories, and Pat Caraway, who has annexed two. The hitting of Bill Cissell, who has driven in fourteen runs in twelve games, Carl Reynolds, and Fred Eichrodt has supplied most of the White Sox punch.

Tribe Fails in Scoring Betts Blanks Indians, 4-0, and Saints Keep Crowding Colonels, By Times Special ST. PAUL, May I.—With Tom Hickey’s American Association still in its first month of play there are signs that the only pennant race will be between Louisville and Lefty Leifleld’s local Saints.; Both flag favorites have dropped but three games, with Louisville leading, the Colonels having played two more contests than the Apostles. St. Paul made it two in a row over Johnny Corriden’s Indians here Thursday, 4 to 0, and at Minneapolis the champion Colonels whipped the Millers for the second time in two days. Played in Fast Time Walter Betts kept seven Tribe hits scattered Thursday and disposed of the Hoosiers In rapid-style order, the game being run off in 1:26. Chief Lee Daney hurled the first six innings for the visitors and had one bad round, the fourth, when two triples, a single and double produced three markers for the Apostles. Before the explosion in the fourth, Daney was solved for only one safety. Daney was removed for a pinch hitter in the seventh and Frank Mulroney finished, allowing three hits and one run in two innings The Indians were helpless facing Betts when runners were on the paths, the veteran having great control all the way, issuing no walks. Three Apostle Triples Jock Saltzgaver was the chief cannonader for the winners, with two triples, both figuring in the scoring innings. Paschal also walloped for three cushions and doubles were registered by Fenner and Hopkins. Any bind of opportune hitting on the part of the Indians would have made it an interesting struggle, but it is seldom that Huck Betts loses when he has one of his good days. The Indians are here for two more tilts, today and Saturday, after which they will move over to Minneapolis and try their luck against Mike Kelley’s pastimers. The champion Colonels will be here Sunday and Apostle fans are looking forward to a spectacular series. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION NOTES Added to the fact they have a stout ball club, the champion Colonels are Rettinsr the breaks again this season. They downed Minneapolis Thursday, 5 to 4. and only one of the Louisville runs was earned. Miller errors paved the way ofr the other four. The old campaigner. Rule Benton, had tough luck. Clyde Hatter, the young Louisville southpaw who had two shutouts victories to his credit, was sent to the showers by the Millers in the sixth and Ken Renner checked the rally and held it to one run. Eli Funk hit a triple and double for the Colonels. Milwaukee used five hurlers Thursday and the Toledo Hens kept running around the sacks. It was another slaughter. Art Shires made a costly miscue that touched off a Toledo six-run rally in the fourth stanza. Milwaukee had twelve men left stranded. Shortstop Werber of the Hens crashed a home run inside the park with two on. Curt Walker and Clyde Barnhart each got two safeties for the Indians at St. Paul as the Hoosiers were blanked by Huck Betts. Howard Fitzgerald contributed a double. Koenecke batted for Daney In the sixth and Hopkins made a fancy stop and throw to rob him of a hit.
