Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, Aug. 22.—Announcement is made that Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit Tigers, has purchased a race boss costing $30,000. At the moment, Navin's Tigers are in last place in the American League race. Some of his constituents seem to feel this is wanton extravagance and that instead of buying a race hoss he should have bought a pitcher. Thry know Navin mainly as the owner of the Tigers and they can not understand what he needs wj,th a hoss. Obviously. you can not send a hoss to the Ditcher's box when the bases are full and Babe Ruth Is coming to, the bat. although for all the good the average oitcher scoomDlishas In such circumstances. a hoss might just as well be used. For some reason the overlords of baseball frown unon turf associations, an attitude which is not altogether flattering to the aristocratic first families who virtually control the tracks In this country. Rogers Hcrnsbv had to take a pledge that he would not visit the tracks agam before he was signed to a contract bv the Giants. Donle Bush was dismissed as manager of the Washingtons because he mingled socially with a bookmaker who happened to be a relative. At one time Tris Sneaker's interest in the Improvement of the thoroughbred was of such character that either the American League or Landis’s office turned the matter over to a detective agency. But aa far as anyone knows. Navin’s adventure in the turf world has provoked no official protest, or moral outcry. To be sure. Navin Is vice president of the league, one of the oldest of the club owners and a man of considerable wealth, and this mav make a difference. It generally docs. WILL HARRIDGE, the new president of the American League, plastered fines on a number of players recently because they engaged in conversation with the customers. It appears that the league has a rule which forbids a player to speak to a spectator during the game “except in reply to a request for information about the progress or state of the game.’’ The rule was designed to keep the Athletes pure and pious, the theory being that one never can tell who the affable gentleman in box A will turn out to be another Arnold Rothstcin. One of the players thus fined protested he had been talking to his father who had come a long distanc to see him. Nevertheless the resolute Harridge Insisted that the fine must stand. Apparently the league draws no distinction between blood kin and blood suckers. Harridge is determined that there shall not be a repetition of the White Sox scandal of 1919, when the Chicago team sold out to the Gamblers. Hence the rule. Os course. It Is a stllv rule as all rules aiming to control th individual’s morals must be. No ball player is going to enter Into an Intrigue with a gambler openly on the ball field. Harridge Is much too rational to believe that anv such adolescent legislation is go- j ing to eliminate a betting evil, if a betting . evil exists. But as the new president of ! the league he probably thought it neces- j sarv to make some sort of gesture. It ( isn’t easy for a league president to break into print these davs. a a a THIS is the open season for the new manager of the Brooklyns. So far the job has been given to Ty Cobb, John McGraw, Donie Bush, Casey Stengel, Andrew Mellon and Izzy the Painter. Considering the hilarious spirit of the came it is interpreted on the banks of the Gowanas. it seems strange that such profound scientists as Will Rogers. Ed Wvnn. George Jesse). Lou Holtz, Charlie Chaplin and the Four Marx Brothers have been ignored. At that It would be hard to improve on Uncle Wilbert Robinson. For a number * of years he has demostrated that as the editor of baseball's comic supplement he has no superior. And besides, anv change in control that would threaten to eliminate the line —"no runs. No hits. No laffs’’ —from the running j story of Flatbush games would be un- [ thinkable.

,BY JEROME H. (DIZZY) DEAN i 'Copyright. 1931. bv NEA Service. Inc.) j ’IY7HILE I was fooling around 1 VV San Antonio trying to figj ure out a way of getting my name j in the papers, I got a chance to I pitch for an amateur team there. ! That night I dropped by a news- • paper office to say to one of the ; sports editors, “I’m gonna pitch to- : morrow and thought I'd ask you i how many men you want me to strike out.” / That was a laugh for him, but right away he comes back with . “Strike out sixteen.” I That sort of stumped me. Six- | teen men are a lot to fan, even j among these sandlot hicks, because i you don’t know when a guy is go- | ing to boot one or a catcher is going to miss the third strike. But it was a chance to attract attention, so I went on the field next day and did it. On Monday of the next week, I got an offer to go with the Public Service team in San Antonio. This was a pretty good ball club, made up of fast amateurs. The first game I pitched I won and fanned about nine or ten. I got a laugh at the way some of those chaps swung at anything. All you had to do was get two strikes on them and thfen start working on ’em. That year I won thirteen games, pitching just on and Sun- J days. We won the state championship and I pitched two championship series games and won ’em.

! After that series I could see that old major league dream of mine coming true. * tt a THE Houston amateur champions were playing us in San Antonio. Pancho Snyder, now catching for St. Paul, was managing Houston. He came out to the game and asked me to come over to the San Antonio league park and work out next day. I couldn't sleep that night. Here was the big chance. I was disl appointed, however, because I thought he would let me pitch for Houston. He only asked me to throw him some balls. He seemed 1 impressed. Snyder returned to Houston and sent Don Curtis, Cardinal scout, ; around to see me. Don hid out in the grandstand and I didn’t I know he was there. We had a punk | team to play and I wasn’t bearing down harder than I had to. About the fifth inning I found out he was there and you should have seen me go then. If a guy ; made a loud foul off me I got mad , because I saw that old major I league contract waving at me. tt tt tt WE were playing the Cuban AllStars that day. The Cubans : got one lucky hit and that before I found out that Don was in the ! stands. We beat ’em 8 to 1 and I struck out about ten of ’em. After the game, Don asked me to meet him in the Hamilton hotel next day. I never touched' the ground going home—l was walking on air. Next day Rollie Harris, manager of the Public Service team, went with me. We met Don in the lobby. He invited us to his room. When we got there Don asked Harris if he would have a drink and Harris declined. He then passed it to me and I said: ’’Nope, I'm not interested. You can’t get to the big leagues that way.” Then and there Don became interested and told me to pack my bag and get ready to go to Houston, but Harris objected since we were a cinch in the state championship if I pitched. Don finally agreed to let Harris keep me for the duration 6f the season. Next: Dizzy Suffers His First Setback. Burning Blaze Two-Year-Old Turf Favorite CHICAGO. Aug. 22.—Burning Blaze, formidable contender for the 2-year-old championship of the turf, was a 5-2 favorite today to capture the SIO,OOO added Hawthorne juvenile stakes at Hawthorne race track. * Hygro from the Nevada stock farm was second choice at 3-1 and the Three D’s stable entry, Liberty Limited, was third choice at 5-1.

Tribesmen Come From Behind for Victory McCann's Boys Shake Off Batting Slump and Pile Up Score After Slow Start Against Millers: Starting Hurlers Are Knocked Out. By Time * Special MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 22.—Trailing 5 to 0 when they went into the sixth round in the series opener with the Millers here Friday, the Indians of Emmett McCann shook off their batting slump and launched an attack that eventually landed them out in front to win. 10 to 8. It was the initial tilt for the Tribesmen on their last swing around the western half of the circuit and was an exhibition of gallant fighting spirit.

Hildebrand and Hensick were the starting hurlers and by the time the curtain fell on the “ladies' day” battle the Indians had used two more flingers and the home pastimers three more. G. Smith and W. iHiller followed Hildebrand to the Tribe mound and for the Kels, Sheehan, Brillheart and Wehde tried their skill against the Hoosiers after Hensick was driven to cover. Frank Sigafoos, second sacker, was the main cog for the Indians with four hits in five trips in addition to playing great ball in the field, taking care of eight assists. He also batted in three runs and scored twice.
