Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 11. — It’* about time someone launched the myth that catchers make the best managers. True there isn’t a great deal of substantiating evidence at hand, but then what is a myth? That's correct. Mr. Bones, a myth is a female moth. When you hear this on the radio next week, accompanied by hysterical studio guflawing, remember where you saw it. Twenty years ago it was good, too. ...PM bp* alone with the mvth. CorMcOlllJk uddv u -Of) to be h catcher lotheiDin Connie' they railed him no ", Ne w England. McGilUcuddv s Athletics won the last three American League ncnnant.

COU c > f .1?* catchers have accounted tPU.S 0 * vour mvth? Do vou want to carry it home or shall we deliver it for S llr motio ,s anything to please, he customer if always right and ring three times t or ice water. THERE’S a good chance, incidentally, that another catcher will win himself a pennant in the National League this year. I refer to George Gibson of those there Pirates, now leading the league. I hose there Pirates must be the best team in the league, because ever so often they win a couple of games in a row, and that’s a long winning streak in the National these days, where there seems to be a law against consistency. useti , ,0 rio 8 lot of catching for P' rat,, s of another era Some of his r c ?w^ S i Brp ln the book He belonged to the iron man school. The iron was in ms arms and legs, not his head. In 1309 ca , ueh t 150 games which is all-time lpaßliP That same year he j consecutive games—another rec.,n” ■" slx different vears he caught. 100 Ea mes—still another record lor his lcagup. In short, he was a one-man catching „?. art ?I pn, L a rarl, v in baseball. Apparentlv the bovs have begun to soften un. rhev can t take it. And I imagine those fellows who were back of the plate day in and dav on* wero bounced around just as much—mavbe more—than the young men who alternate with assistants today. Gibson was a pretty sturdy citizen In nis nrime well-fitted out nhvsicallv. But so are most of vour modern catchers Besides bulk and size don’t mean anything. a a tt IF a resume of Mr. Gibson’s achievements amazes you, consider the record of Ray Schalk who, by the way, is doing all right for himself as manager of Buffalo in. the International League. I hear he may be back in the big leagues next year, and that’s where he belongs. There are only two or three managers in both leagues that I wouldn’t trade for him even up right now. Schalk caught 151 games in one season. I don't know where he was the other three days. Possibly he was at the gate taking tickets. Old Man Comiskev used to run his ball club that way. A fine, generous old soul. One year Ed Walsh worked in sixty-six games for him and timidly asked for a SSOO raise. I think he got $4.55 and two passes for a Monday game. There were six years, as I say, in which Gibson caught 100 or more games. Well. Schalk just, doubled that. Let s see—six and six. Yep. that's right, twelve. That's remarkable enough. But, more remarkable still is the fact that Schalk wasn't much bigger than a dime's worth of radium. He completely disproved the ancient theory that, all catchers had to be built like Jess Willard and think like him. JOHN J. McGRAW tells you that Roger Bresnahan was the greatest catcher of all time. Quite a few other critics handed the honor to Mickey Cochrane two years ago when the Athletics’ star was at his peak. But Schalk must have been pretty good, and, I should say considering his size, he was incontrovertibly great. Bresnahan was agile. He was speedy enough to be used as Ihe load ofT man. Cochrane gets around pretty well himself though vou wouldn't call him a ten second man. Schalk didn’t need a derrick to move him around either. He was always going Places and doing things. Another of his uniaue distinctions is that he is the nnlv catcher in the history of baseball e'er to make a put out at first, second, third and home. Try to tie that some dav when vou have nothing but time on vour hands and sorrow in vour heart bv special permission of the New York state boxing commission.

NEMO LEI BOLD IS RELEASED AS COLUMBUS PILOT

Ed Rommel Hurls 17 Rounds to Grab Win Fifty-Eight Hits, Thirty- Three by Losers, Are New Major League Marks; Foxx Slaps Three Homers, Burnett Gets Nine Hits. By l. mtfd Prrxx NEW YORK, July 11.—Two new all-time major league Records and one modern record were established Sunday when the Philadelphia Athletics nosed out Cleveland's Indians, 18 to 17, after a thrilling eight-een-inning struggle, the season's longest game. The teams totaled fifty-eight hits, anew all-time record for hits made by two clubs in oi,ie game. The former record of fifty-one hits was made Aug. 25. 1922, when the Phillies garnered twenty-six against the Cubs’ twenty-five. Sunday the Athletics made twenty-five hits and Cleveland, thirty-three. Cleveland's thirty-three established anew modern record for the most hits in one game by one club, beating the thirty-one made by the New York Giants against Cincinnati in 1901. The old-time record was thirty-six, made by the Phillies against Louisville in 1894. Johnny Burnett, Cleveland shortstop, set anew major league record of nine hits in one game, in his eleven times up. He beat the seven-hit record made by Wilbert Robinson of Baltimore, playing against St Louis in 1892.

Birds Drop Six in Row MacPhail, Team President, Not Ready to Name New Chief. By United Press MINNEAPOLIS, July 11. —Manager Harry (Nemo) Leibold of the Columbus American Association baseball team, was given an unconditional release today by Larry MacPhail, president, MacPhail, who is traveling with the team, made no statement. Columbus has lost the last six games. The Columbus Birds are controlled by the St. Louis Cardinals and it is presumed the Cardinal officials will select Leibold’s successor. MacPhail said today he was not ready to name the new pilot and that the Birds would perform under an acting manager until a permanent pilot is chosen. Fred Hunter, Columbus coach, is expected to direct the team until a definite managerial selection is made. Leibold has piloted the Columbus clan since 1928. He is a former big league outfielder, playing with several major nines. Leibold was a “boy wonder” of the American Association years ago, when he first entered league ball as a fly chaser with Milwaukee. The Birds finished third in 1931, and were in fourth place today, six games out of first place.
