Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS \

New YORK, Sept. 10—One ol the real thrill* for us at the fitadium Wednesday came with Ben Chapman’s running the 100yard cinder stretch in 10 3-10 seconds. That will stand as the accepted record for ball players in full uniform until somebody comes along and beats it under similar conditions. The man who will better that record ! Chapman himself. He had to contend with Interference from Combs, Healy and Parmalee in a four-man race Wednesday, And he pulled up. fearing to crash Into the cameramen who were grouped near the finish line. The big trial will come at one of the post-season city series lames. Recently, we read that Chapman had beaten Carl Reynolds In Chicago In 10 1-5 seconds, and we did not regard the time as authentic. In fact, we did not believe there was a man in baseball who could carry a uniform that fast. Nor did the Officials of the amateur athletic union give any credence to the Chicago time. However, Chapman can do It. Wednesday’s race was clocked by Colonel Charles J. Dleges, dean of Olympic timers. Bib Dleges and Charley Hatfield, well known experts, assisted the Colonel. Bernle Wefers. coach at N. Y. A. C., who was a sprint record holder and a corking ball player as well, measured out the distance with a steel tape. At the second Yankee-CHant game, on Oct 4. Allen of the McOrawmen. very likely will race Chapman. Ethan Wednesday begged for time to do a little training. Chapman's preparation for the race consisted of passing up his usual modest luncheon. "I have seen some fast men In my time," said Joe McCarthy today. “I thought Cuyler was pretty quick. I had Combs at Louisville and I imagined he was about as fast as they come in baseball. X saw Cobb when he was good. "But this tad Chapman is the king of them all running 100 yards in a uniform, and In baseball shoes." And that lust about settles It. a a u HPHE late date for the world series, which will not get under way until Thursday, Oct. 1, has baseball men guessing. It means a three-day layoff for the Athletics and the Cardinals, and they don’t need that recess before coming to grips. What’s more important, the late start means that the fans of Philadelphia will not get the break of a Saturday game. The classic will open with two games In Bt. Louis on Thursday and Friday. Saturday Will be spent In traveling and Sunday will be wasted because there is no ball In Philadelphia on the Sabbath. On Monday. Oct. 5. the series will be resumed In Shibe park, where three games are scheduled. Os course. It Is figured that world series games are sellouts anyway. But the boys who pay their way In always appreciate a scrap on the half holiday, especially In a city which does not permit Sunday ball. However, that’s Philadelphia’s business. New York will have Its own city Joust to play with while the world series goes Into a little week-end snooze. Mike Brennan, scout for the A’s, has been a visitor In these parts of late and he says Mack will have all his men la action against the Cardinals—all. Including Mule Haas, who has been reported In rather a banged-up condition. The loss of Haines, coming with Grimes’ letdown. Is a serious blow to St. Louis.

Heavy Maulers Matched for Main Scrap at Ft. Harrison

Indians Fall Before Birds in Slugfest Nine Runs in One Inning Fail to Cop for Tribe as Four Pitchers Collapse, Columbus Winning, 17-14; Teams Total Thirty-Three Hits. By Times Special COLUMBUS, 0., Sept. 10.—Thirty-three hits, including ten doubles, a triple and two home runs were collected by Indians and Red Birds Wednesday in the series opener at Neil park and when the smoke had cleared after a long afternoon struggle the Columbus pastimers were out in front, 17 to 14, the locals using three hurlers and the visitors four. The parade of pitchers and the barrage of base hits kept the fans in an uproar, especially when the Birds knocked the sphere all over the lot.

Eighteen of the thirty-three safeties were poled by Columbus and the Tribe pitchers who suffered were W. Miller, Smith, Prince and Gene Jones, none being effective. Eckert, Cvengros and Grabowski, all southpaws, were employed on the Bird mound during the hectic fracas. Hoosiers Blow Up The Indians piled up a 5 to 0 lead before Columbus started, and after that it was a bush league exhibition of pitching. Added to poor pitching was erratic fielding by both sides, the Hoosiers being charged with four errors and the Birds with three. Walter Miller and El Eckert were the starting hurlers and the former was the victim of the defeat. Mike Cvengros, former Indian, relieved Eckert and was in the contest long enough to receive credit for the victory, although knocked out in the late innings. Columbus scored seven runs in the fifth stanza and Indianapolis registered nine times in the eighth. Pid Purdy led the Columbus assault with three doubles, and foi the Indians Ray Fitzgerald was top slugger with a home run and two singles. Frank Sigafoos also drove one over the fence for the circuit and another safety by the Tribe second-sacker was good for two cushions. Pat Crawford, Bird flrstsacker, was poison to the visnors with a triple and two doubles, and Bill Narlesky, former Hoosier infielder, gathered three hits against his old mates. In runs batted in, Crawford captured high honors with four, and Fitzgerald and Sigafoos were next high, each with three. Goldman was the only Indian who failed to hit safely, and he was at the plate six times. The thirty-three hits piled up by the rivals were good for fiftyone bases. Birds Groggy in Eighth Columbus scored its first run in the third inning and its seventeen markers were registered in six rounds. The wild orgy staged by the Indians in the eighth had the Birds groggy, but the attack finally was stopped when Grabowski relieved Cvengros. McCann, in the eighth, and Walker, in the ninth, pinch hitting for the Tribesmen, both delivered hits. The defeat hurt the Indians in their drive for second place and the Milwaukee Brewers held the A. A. :’unner-up position today by a slight margin over the K. C. Blues, with the Hoosiers a close fourth. FREE SKEET WINNER Breaking 46 out of 50 targets, Free carried off top honors at Indianapolis Skeet Club Wednesday. Hoffa was second with 45.

John Jones, of No-Hit Fame, Will Join Tribe

Two more rookies who were purchased several weeks ago along With four Others from Oklahoma City of the Western League have been ordered to report to Manager Emmett McCann of the Indians next Sunday. They are pitcher John Paul Jones, right-hander, and! first baseman Lowell, who bats and throws left-handed. Jones crashed into the hall of baseball fame on Aug. 30 by pitching a no-hit, no-run game against Omaha, winning 13 to 0. He walked only one batter and struck out seven. Three runners reached base against him on errors, one of the miscues being committed by himself. It was the second contest of a double-header.
