TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, July 2.—-They are saying that times are so tough that even Harvard men are going to work. At any rate, Charles Devens, a Nrw England aristocrat and Harvard graduate, has joined the Yankee pitching staff. Aside from whatever artistic ability Devens may add to the club, lus presence is calculated to help the morale in a material way. The Yankees are so far out in front that the spark of competition has disappeared. a dull heavv monotony has set in and life is lust a bowl of push overs.

chance of the Babe’s going to Boston next year. And then there is another consideration. Ruth himself is not satisfied that he could make a go of the job in Boston. He'd hate to move from the glamour of Broadway and the platinum setting of the Yankees into a job which might hurl him into the background and make the fans forget the lustrous Ruth record. In the meantime, the Red Sox present a situation which howds for action. The league has been try.ing to help Bob Quinn by shipping Jolley. Johnson, Alexander and other behemoths to Fenway park. If the object is to give Boston the heftiest club in the majors, it is being achieved. If the real goal is a better and stronger team for the Red Sox. then the idea has gone haywire. At any rate, those who foot the bills for the Boston club arc quite readv to let somebody else try the gamble. The Red Sox do not fare so badly at home or in New York, Washington and Philadelphia. But their jaunts in the west are big drains on the club's financial resources. Obviously, the Boston situation calls for concerted action by other clubs. The Red Sox have not been a financial success for the last seventeen years. Boston is one of the finest baseball cities in the country. But for that sact —but for the crowd's love of the game—the league would have been forced to act years and years ago. That the Red Sox can be rebuilt into a money-making, winning proposition is indicated by the success of Judge Emil Fuchs with the Braves. When the judge bought out George W. Grant the Braves looked worse than do the Red Sox today.

Men of McCann Even Series Under Lights Friday When Bill Thomas Turns in Shutout; Taitt Clears Wall; Two Games Carded Sunday. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Three games over the week-end with Bruno Betzel’s Louisville Colonels, one tonight at 8:15 and two Sunday in the afternoon, will wind up the current home stand of Emmet McCann’s battling Indians, and with the home nine still tied for the league runnerup position with the Columbus Red Birds and only a few jumps back of the leading

Tuesday will be an off-day and the Tribe pastimers will rush back home and pack up for a long jaunt on the road extendinog until July 28. Bill Thomas, the rookie righthander, recalled from Knoxville, pitched the Indians to a shutout triumph, 5 to 0, over the Colonels under the lights Friday night, allowing seven hits. He beat the same club twice last fall after coming up from Oklahoma City, and the Friday victory was his second in two starts since his promotion from the Southern Association. Only one runner reached third base on him and that was in the

seventh when two of the seven Louisville hits were obtained. The big wallop of the night was uncorked by Doug Taitt, hefty outfielder, who cleared the right field wall in the fifth with a circuit drive, the sphere
riding over at the 365-foot mark. Frank Sigafoos. hard working infielder, exhibited versatility when he filled in for Sammy Hale at third base and set the customers howling by accepting nine chances. Not all were easy and he grabbed the horsehide from both sides as well as turning in a circus catch on a foul against the stand near the Tribe dugout in the sixth. Frank got one hit and batted in one run. The veteran Hale was under the weather for the evening and Fred Bedore was assigned to second and “Siggie” was switched to the hot corner. Simons in Circus Play Ray Fitzgerald and Chief McCann led the Tribe batting attack with three blows each, and one of Fitz’ clouts was for two sacks. Riddle and Bedore also weighed in with two-cushion smacks, and Jonah Goldman poled a triple. Doug Taitt, author of the Tribe home run, was the victim of a circus catch by Mel Simons in the third that brought the fans out of their seats. With runners on first and third Taitt lined a low liner to center and it looked like a hit, though Bedore, oh third, held base to be sure. Simons dashed in, lefjt his feet for a dive and snared the ball with one hand. It was a marvelous feat. Bedore scored after the catch. Sigafoos singled and Ken Penner, former Tribe hurler, relieved Hal McKain on the Colonel mound and retired McCann. The Indians chalked up two markers in that round, the rally starting on a double by Fitzgerald after one down. Rosie Busy in Left The Indians played errorless ball and there was only one miscue on the part of the Colonels. The contest was filled with sparkling plays, especially in the outfield by Simons of Louisville and Rosenberg of the Indians. The Tribe fly chaser, performing in left, had five putouts and three were line drives on which he dashed in and snared. Simons, in center for the visitors, was kept on the alert and active and his record for the night showed seven putouts. Herman Layne, a member of the champion Indians of 1928, beat out two bunts to convince local admirers that he has lost none of his speed. Bill Thomas went to the third frame before the Colonels solved him for a safety, Shea connecting for a double as first up. Thomas promptly knocked the runner off, however, by a toss to Goldman when he saw Shea taking a long lead off of second base. In his first start since coming up from Knoxville, Bill beat Toledo, 3 to 1. on Sunday, June 26, giving five hits in seven stanzas. It was the second-half of a double-header and was cut short by the 6 o'clock baseball law.
