Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

•VTEW YORK, July 13.—It's a far cry ( ln fact it is practically a shriek) from the steel towered stands of the big town to the cigar box ball parks of the bushes—but it is still baseball, and romantic baseball. Out in the bushes, the club owner is no Ruppert. He cant tell from one month to another whether there is going to be enough money in the treasury to operate. The best he can hope for is an even break with the possibility of developing a ball player he can sell. Generally, the manager Is a epavincd old timer blvouscked the last trontier of his profession The teams are made up of an assortment of faded stars and raw rookies not yet dry behind the ears. The one umpire assigned to each game is either a local authority or someone who happens to own a blue serge suit and a whisk broom A citizen of sufficient importance, the mayor, the sheriff or the banker, is privileged to call th manager over to his box and tell him what's wrong with his scheme of strategy. If an umpire makes a decision on an involved plav ianri he happens to understand It him: elf i It us considered only just and proper that he stop and explain the details to the fans There must he no secrets. u n a THE first half of the Central League race recently ended and one of my operatives furnishes me with some interesting sidelights on the situation. The Central is a typical hush league. It symbolizes all the travails, ambitions, drudgeries and pathetic humors that make up the fabric of small town baseball. And yet as a nursery, the Central is distinguished for its many contributions to the big leagues. Rome of the blazing stars of the game started out there, including “Max Carey, Ed Roush, Wally Pipp, Bob O'Farrell, Jesse Haines, Sherry Smith. Freddie Fitzsimmons, Bubbles Hargrave, Lester Bell and Bill Herman. "I thought you would like to know.” writes mv operative, 'that the Dayton Ducks won the first half of the race The Ducks are managed by Ducky Holmes, who used to catch for the St. Louis Cardinals and later umpired in the American League. Thcv beat the Eries in the final and derisive game, much to the chagrin of Chief Bender, of whom you may have harri. The reremonies attending the raising of half a pennant are now in the hands of a committee. The experts of the Central League Baseball Writers Association say Ihe Ducks were not the best tram in the league and that the decision rightly should have gone to the Eries. It seems that the Ducks made a specialty (if pushing over the pushovers, one of them being the Ft. Waynes, managed by Bill Wambsganss. "You remember Wambsganss. surelv. He made that unassisted triple play in the 1920 world series. Wambsganss has another hero of that series playing right field for him—one Elmer Smith. It was Elmer who smacked out a homer with the bases full. I understand Wambsganss is how trying to get Trts Speaker. Steve O'Neil] and other members of that 1920 Cleveland team to help him in the second half of the race. "Holmes does not rare what the experts of the Central League Baseball Writers' Association say about the duality of his bail club. With all the reticence of an Art Shires, he openly admits he outsmarted the other guys. The Big Quack, as he is affectionately known around the circuit, pulled a lot of master mind stuff. "In one game he actually showed ’em a squeeze play. Not only that, out he confided to the sports writers in advance. ‘l'll tell you when I'm going to pull it.’ he said, not wishing to see such a rare bit of generalship go unnoticed. Need 1 add that the journalistic gentlemen were all Wffog? "Sure enough a situation arose suitable for a squeeze the next night and the Big Quack gave the press box the sign—Here It comes!' And. as Hoover is my Judge, bingo! OfT came as neat a squeeze play as you ever saw. Don't let anybody tell you that Holmes doesn't know his inside baseball." DIAMOND BELT AT STAKE Bp I ni1,,1 Pei vs LOS ANGELES. July 13.—The diamond studded belt that was presented to Jim Londos, heavyweight wrestler, by Madison Square Garden of New York after he defeated Richard Shikat, will be at stake when Londos meets Ray Steele in a three-fall finish match at Wrigley field here next Monday night.

The Bucs took their third straight game from the Brooklyn Dodges, 8 to 7. in twelve innings Tuesday, although three of their best players were on the bench with injuries. Auggie Dugas, former Kansas City star, who replaced Paul Waner in right field in the fifth inning when Paul suffered a split finger, won the game for the Pirates with a triple in the twelfth which drove in the winning run.

Terry ‘in Middle’; Has Head Full of Ideas but May Not Be Able to Use Them: ‘Little Napoleon’ Wants Another Chance. BY JACK CUDDY t'nited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 13.—The baseball fraternity has begun to wonder what will happen to the New York Giants next year, now that they have proved the biggest upset of the National League season by virtually dropping out of the pennant race. Many close followers of the Giants’ misfortunes believe that President Charles A. Stoneham will sell out his holdings this winter because of a reported poor return on his investment at the Polo Grounds. Norman Perry, the Indianapolis American Association club owner, and John J. McGraw, former manager of the Giants, are understood to be planning a purchasing syndicate to take over the club's franchise and plant. If the Perry-McGraw deal goes through, it would not be surprising to see McGraw take over the managership again.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

In that case, Memphis Bill Terry unquestionably would terminate his career with the New York outfit. His friends claim Manager Terry never will step down into the Giants’ ranks again. Terry in Middle Meanwhile. Terry is between Old Nick and the briny because he must reorganize completely the New \ r ork club to get it back into playing form for next season, but he doesn't know’ whether he’ii have the authority to make the necessary adjustments or whether he'll be manager next season to carry them out. With a head full of ideas. Memphis Bill is waiting, like the baseball fraternity, to see what will happen. Meanwhile, he's doing the best he can with a team that is ten games behind the leaders. Terry has not been responsible for the collapse of the team. The Giants were in the cellar when he took them over, as successor to McGraw. The "Little Napoleon,” one of the greatest managers in the history of the game, was unable to do anything with the aggregation this season. The club was in seventh place today, barely out of the cellar. Reorganization Necessary What happened to the Giants? No one knows. One guess is as good as another. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the team simply faded aftpr about seven years of first divisicn play. Pitchers Walker and Fitssimmons have been virtual flops. Ve ‘gez, the third base sensation of 193 . has done poorly. Lindstrom is hitting below par. Hughie Critz has collapsed completely. Jackson is injured and Ott’s j batting comes in spasms. Only Terry and Hogan are play- J ing up to par. It seems a thorough reorganiza- ; tion, with plenty of new faces, is needed. Terry should have little trouble in getting new men, because he can get plenty of trade offers for most of his Giant failures. There is a growing feeling that many of these chaps would snap out of the doldrums in other surroundings.

Warstler led the Red Sox to victory over Detroit Tuesday, getting a double, single, walk and sacrifice in four trips, and his fielding has been so good that Rhyne can not break back into the lineup now that he's recovered.

Tribesmen Drop Three in Four to Brewers Tuesday Licking at Milwaukee Puts Indians About Three and One-Half Games Behind Leading Millers: 6-Run Rally in Ninth Not Enough: Score 11-8. BH Times Special MILWAUKEE, July I.l.—The Indians finished on the short end again here Tuesday and their current road trip record now* reads five games won and the same number lost. In the meantime Ownie Bush's Minneapolis Millers refuse to be halted and are building up a fat league lead. The Hoosiers fell before the Brewers Tuesday, 11 to 8. and at Minneapolis

the Bushmen nosed out the Columbus Birds, 10 to 9 Bush’s rebuilt ‘‘job’’ Is now nearly three and one-halt games ahead of the second-place Tribesmen and better than five games ahead of the third-place Brewers. Harry Rosenberg, left fielder, was top hitter for the losing Hoosiers Tuesday. He banged out four singles for a "perfect day” and played well in the pasture, having five putouts and one assist. Harry is leading Tribe regulars at bat with the fine average of .356. The Indians were the only member of the first division to fall down Tuesday, Kansas City defeating Louisville in a night game, 8 to 5: It w-as the first night victory for the Blues in five starts under the lights. Columbus tried hard to emerge from its slump, but dropped its seventh consecutive game when the Millers took a slugfest. Seven homers were hit in the battle

at Minneapolis, Joe Hauser of the Millers boosting his total to twenty-six and Nick Cullop of the Birds raising his mark to twenty-one by poling tw'o. Hauser is out in front in the A. A. ’’home run race.” Milwaukee made it three out of four over the men of McCann Tuesday and the teams were to tangle in the fifth of the series today and

then wind up the long round of struggles at Borchert field Thursday, after which the Indians will invade Minneapolis. The Tuesday setback w'as the third in a row for the Tribe. Infield Error Costly Ernie Wingard, king of the night ball hurlers. was given as afternoon assignment by chief McCann Tuesday and Ernie fell apart in the second round when Milwaukee scored five runs and knocked him out. Part of Wingard’s collapse was helped along by a costly error by shortstop Goldman with a double-play in sight. Heving relieved Ernie and was no puzzle, and in the fifth Bill Burw’ell took up the mound toil and was combed for two markers in the sixth. The score w'as 11 to 2, Milwaukee, at the end of the sixth, and there w-as no more scoring until the ninth when the Indians suddenly shook off their lethargy and staged a sensational rally good for six runs. Stiely was pounded off the Brewer rubber, Kessenich also w'as sent to the showers and Tony Polli finally subdued the “crazed” Hoosiers. 13 Left on Base The Indians collected seventeen hits to thirteen for Milwaukee, but it was another story of “left on bases,” the Tribesmen leaving thirteen runners stranded to five for Milwaukee. "Pip” Koehler hit a circuit drive for the home nine Tuesday and Brewer doubles w'ere collected by Hoffman, Stanton and Gullic. A double by Riddle was the lone Tribe extra base poke. Owner Norman Perry of the Indians and Jack Hendricks, business manager, picked out the w'rong town to view their boys in action. They didn’t visit Kansas City, where the Indians w'on four in a row'. The executives arrived here Sunday.
