INDIANS AND K. C. BLUES TO FINISH SERIES UNDER LIGHTS
Heving Saves Opener by Superb Slab Work Joe Relieves Bolen in First Wednesday and Noses Out Kaw Ace; Fitzgerald and Sigafoos Shine in Field; Second Tilt Tonight. BY EDDIE ASH Timet Snort* Editor ✓ Emmet McCann's battling Hoosiers were one up today in the series with the Kansas City Blues, and the teams now will turn to night ball, tonight and Friday. The contests under the lights will start at 8:15. Fans on hand at Perry stadium Wednesday afternoon saw a marvelous exhibition of relief hurling by Silent Joe Heving in the series lid lifter, and the Indians finished on the long end of a 4 to 3 count against the ace twirler of the K. C. staff, Hal Smith. Joe relieved southpaw Bolen in r.he initial inning, put on thf brakes and thereafter proceeded to blank the visitors. Joe retired the side in order in five stanzas, holding the enemy to five hits in eight and onethird innings.
Brilliant support was given Heving by Fitzgerald and Sigafoos, the Tribe center fielder making a catch on Snyder in the sixth that was hot. Monahan opened the inning with a double and Snyder connected for a low' liner that looked good for extra bases, but Fitz came n fast and snared the sphere at, his shoe tops. It was a whistling drive. Siggic Sparkles At second base, Sigafoos accepted eight chances and twice turned in sparkling plays back on the grass to cut off Kansas City hits. The race between the three leading teams remained unchanged owing to the fact the Millers and Red Birds also turned in victories Wednesday, Minneapolis beating Toledo and Columbus mauling St. Paul. The Millers are six and onehalf games ahead of the runner-up Indians. Indians and Blues now have met eighteen times this season and the Tribesmen have copped eleven of the tilts. Bolen Derricked Early The Blues made short work of Bolen Wednesday. Marquardt singled, advanced on a balk and scored on Hassler’s single. Kelly forced Hassler and Pick doubled, scoring Kelly. Bolen was derricked and Heving took up the Tribe burden. Grigsby flied to Fitzgerald and Boken reached first on Kroner’s fumble, Pick taking third. Monahan singled, scoring Pick, and Boken raced to third. Snyder drilled a difficult chance to the left of Sigafoos and the Tribe keystone sacker got it with one hand and erased Snyder at first. It was a snappy play. The Indians got one run back in their half of the first after two down. Kroner and Wingard drew walks and Taitt's double scored Kroner. In the second round Rosenberg led off with a triple and scored on Heving's double after an easy out by Riddle. Tribe Knots Score The Indians tied up the fracas in ( the fifth. Heving singled and was forced by Goldman, w f ho attempted to sacrifice. Fitzgerald’s hopper got through Monahan and Goldman took third and Fitzgerald made a wild dash and reached second. Kroner's fly to Kelly put Goldman across the plate and Wingard lined to Grigsby. The Tribe won the struggle in the eighth and Fitzgerald started the victory run on its way. He w ; as first up and singled, Kroner sacrificed and Wingard looped a single to center. scoring Fitz. Hits were eight for the Blues and six for the Indians, w'ith Heving getting two of the Tribe’s blows. It was the thirteenth triumph of the campaign for Joe against three defeats. Hal Smith, K. C. star, has won thirteen and lost seven. Bill Hinchman, Pittsburgh scout, w r as at the stadium Wednesday w'atching Smith perform.

TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS .
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—The boys were talking about the showing of the Irish in the Olympics. With a four-man team, the Emerald Isle already had returned two world champions. •‘What do they weigh?" piped Tim Mara, the promoter. This was an unusual question since weights mean little or nothing in the Olympics. Out of courtesy, Mara was informed that one of the champions was a hammer-thrower and the other was a hurdler. “You mean to say,” bellowed Mara, “that the guys do not fight!" It took several hours to put Mara right on the Olympics, to tell him the story of the classic games dating back to Greece, that it was a sort ol general test of allround athletic ability in which the science of fist fighting was merely an incidental. , ~ „ I will grant you that It is -a good idea, agreed Mara, who is very democratic. • But did these fellows who won the hammer throw and the hurdles—did they have anv choice? I mean could they have fought If they had wanted to?" It is not hard to understand Mara s point of view. Mara is Irish and to him all Irish athletes should be fighters. Otherwise. thev are neither athletes nor Irish. This mav serve to explain his re-entry n the fight game with Jimmy McLarnin ts his star. McLarnin meets a rugged roung gent bv the name of Lou Brouilard of Boston at the Yankee stadium •onlght. There ere two reasons why I am outing *hls fight on," explained Mara. One s that I want to help the actors' ’ fund.
No Luck By Times Special NEWARK. Allg. 4.—" Just what does a man have to do to stick in the major leagues" was the question Eddie Phillips was asking his friends today. Phillips, former Pittsburgh catcher who was borrowed from their Newark farm by the Yankees while Bill Dickey was suspended, was back with Newark today despite a remarkable record. Phillips caught seven games for the Yanks. He outhit Arndt Jorgens. who baited .290. with .369. He made two homers and did a fine job behind the bat. But when Dickey returned today, the Yanks had to cut off one player. Perhaps waivers could not be obtained on Jorgens. Maybe the club figures Arndt a better man for 1933. Anyway. Phillips is back with the Bears.
Indian Notes
Hevine was in * deep hole In the sec- ! nnd Inning Wednesday and escaped. Smith, first up, singled and took third on Marnuardt % blow to right center and Marnuardt reached second on the th-ow-ln. Hassler lifted a fly to Fitzgerald and the Blues decided to play it safe and Smith was held at third. Kelly fouled to Riddle, Pick walked, filling the bases, and Grigsby was tossed out by Sigafoos. The Kansas City sixth was featured by three consecutive sparkling defensive performances, contributed after Monahan had doubled First, it was Fitzgerald with a running catch on Snyder, then a leap by Heving to grab Smith's high bounder and for the third out Riddle crashed into the stand for Marquardt's foul. Taitt’s double in the first session had so much steam behind it there wasn't a chance for Boken to flag it at his position at short add it whistled to left field and struck Grigsby on the leg and upset him. Smith covered first in the third and made a good catch on a low throw from Monahan to retire Wingard. Rosenberg got a life on Boken's fumble in the fourth, but was erased Immediately when Riddle hit into a double play. Goldman was out of luck at the plate, but played a swell defensive game at short. Rosenberg's triple in the second was a mighty smack to deep right center. Hassler came in fast on Taitt’s slow roller in the third, scooped the sphere j with one hand and let 'er fly, nailing the j runner on a close decision. Wingard saved Kroner an error in the fourth by spearing a high throw with his gloved hand. It took a hurried throw from deep short by Goldman to head off Hassler in the seventh. Goldman juggled Boken's smash in the fifth, but recovered In time to nip the runner by a whisker. Following battles with the Blues tonight and Friday night the Indians will open a scries with the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night. Smith of the Blues wasn't the only star A. A. flinger to go down Wednesday. Columbus beat Van Atta and Louisville beat Jack Knott. It is herewith suggested that perhans the ‘‘real” reason for the ousting of Rogers Hornsby as manager of the Chicago Cubs was his oversight of falling to supply his ball players with bullet proof pajamas.

and the other Is that I like to see McLarnm fight." Then, as an afterthought. Mara added that the whole trouble with the fight game today is that there aren’t as manv Irish fighters around as there ought to be. a a a “Xr OW you take the old days—” t Mara, without protest, proceeded to take the old days. "There was John L. Sullivan, whose fame will last while boxing endures. The men he climbed over to the world title were Ryan and Kilrain. Pretty fair Irish names. After Sullivan came Jim Corbett from the mission district in San Francisco, as fine an Irishman as ever went to mass. "Who beat Corbett? Bob Fitzsimmons. Bobs father and mother were Irish, his father was a horseman and a fencing master They moved to Helston. Cornwall, where Bob was born. Later thev went to New Zealand. But Bob himself was as Irish in descent as any champion we've ever had. "Jim Jeffries knocked out Fitzsimmons. Jim s ancestors came from England about 200 years ago and settled in Virginia. But away back the family spelled its name Jeffreys, and lived in Ireland from where it crossed to Scotland and migrated down into England to take part in some interesting fighting that was going on at tne time. "Passing Tommy Burns (Noah Brusso), who was a Canadian of Swiss descent, and Jack Johnson, we come to Jess Willard. His family like Jeffries’ was among the American pioneers over a centurv ago. but there was an Irish strain in the original who came over here to fight Indians and settle the wilderness. , Dem P sev comfs of another fine' old Virginia family of pioneers andplantI ers in Revolutionary days and is of straight Irish descent, barring a slight intermingling of Indian blood, that makes j his Americanism date back before they began naming cities after Columbus. a a a “T DON’T have to tell you about -I- Gene Tunnev. I don't gei along very well with him any more, but he is as Irish as they come, a product of lower New York, where you had to fight as a kid to live. His ancestry dates back to primi- | five Ireland and he was a great I fighter long before you sports writers ever realized it.” Mara paused to light a fresh cigar. "Well, that Just about takes cans of the heavyweight champions up to now and 1 you will notice that none of them' were I hammer throwers or hurdlers." (Apparently Mara does not wish to include the Schmellpgs or the Sharkevs in any way whatsoever.! "I don't even recall who is the middleweight champion today unless Mickev Walker still is and where did vou ever see i gmer Irishman? Mike O'Dowd was a f hampion, too. and Mike Gibbons could have had the title ! anv time he wanted to. In fact. I think when Gibbons retired he was acknowledged as the champion. I could sit here all day and reel off the names of grand Irish champions, fellows like Britton, McFarland. MeAuliffe Mci Govern and Kilbane. But what's the use? But what s the use? You fellows belong to another generation. You read about a coujgle of Irshmen that throw hammers ftapover sticks and you get all ex- 1 cited,*** Jsofr, bring me a lemonade.’*

He accosted Hagen in the locker room where the "Haig" was cooling his face with water. Extending his mitt to Hagen, Cooper said: "Congratulate me, Walter, I shot a 66." "What did you shoot?” "Oh, I puugged around In 66, why?" a a a The showman of golf always does his best before the bigger galleries and it is our hope he has a large one to show beofre Friday.

Bill Dickey Back Again Lefty Gomez Hopes to Break Losing String With Old Mate. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 4.— New York's Yankees battled the Chicago White Sox today while welcoming their prodigal catcher, Bill Dickey, exiled thirty days for breaking Carl Reynolds’ jaw. Senor Lefty Gomez, the Castlllian beanpole, was slated to do the welcoming honors from the mound because Dickey's return means more to the speed ball king than to any other member of Ruppert’s Rifles. Unquestionably Dickey, one of the league's two best catchers and a formidable hitter, will strengthen the Yanks While the team did not suffer much with reserve catchers working, Senor Gomez, personally, missed Dickey badly. Until Bill was suspended, Gomez had lost only two games, but while Bill was vacationing in Arkansas, the fast ball lefthander accumulated four more setbacks. # The seventh-place Chisox beat the Yanks, 3 to ? Wednesday in ten innings. Bob Fothergill drove out a long fly in the tenth inning to score the winning run. This blow tagged Red Ruffing with his fifth defeat in seventeen starts. Ted Lyons held the Yanks to six blows. Detrcit’6 Tigers nosed out Washington. 2 to 1, after two timely hits by Bill Rhiel had driven in a run in the fourth and another in the sixth for the Tigers.

Squelched in Shires Case
Bill McKechnie
By Times Special BOSTON, Aug. 4.—Manager Bill McKechnie of the Boston Braves was “sat on" Wednesday. McKechnie “fired" Arthur Shires and released him unconditionally, but Emil Fuchs, Braves’ president, took a different slant at the situation and received the plaudits of Boston fans. Fuchs recalled the unconditional release, guaranteed Shires’ salary for the remainder of the season, promised to supply the player with funds to obtain the best medical treatment for his injured knee and advised Arthur to request Judge Landis to place him on the voluntary retired list. McKechnie wanted to send the crippled Shires to the minors and the player balked. Arthur was injured during an early season game against Brooklyn.

McLarnin Gets Test By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 4.— The 50,000 customers the optimistic Timothy O’Mara insists will troop to the Yankee stadium tonight to watch Jimmy McLarnin battle Lou Brouillard, one-time king of the welters, may witness a very rare sight. The 50,000 may see Jimmy, the baby-faced one, climb through the ropes as an underdog in the betting. Jimmy on the short end is a rarity. But this Brouillard, considered something of a nudgeover when he arrived in town, has won lots of the boys over with his tremendous work in training camp. Such astute judges of cauliflower as Johnny Buckley, Jack Kearns, Jack Hurley and George Engle think the Worcester boy will out-gallop James. McLarnin was a 7 to 5 favorite early today, but the smart money was pouring in so fast on Lou that he stood a swell chance of going to the post favorite. Chocolate Is 2 to 1 Choice By United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 4.—Kid Chocolate, Cuban Negro, was a 2-1 favorite today to retain his junior lightweight title in a ten-round bout against Eddie Shea, Chicago, in the Chicago stadium tonight. Other bouts follow: Sammy Slaughter, Terre Haute, Ind., middleweight, Vs. Paul Pirrone, Cleveland; Angel Cliville.

meters. When the six runners came to the halfway mark, just before they stepped on the straightaway, he had moved up to within three steps of George Simpson, Ohio State, who led. The three United States entries, Simpson, Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe, Negro of Marquette university, came into the straightaway in that order. Simpson was two meters in the lead and Metcalfe a half step behind Tolan. Twenty-five meters from the tape, Tolan drew abreast of Simpson and the 75,000 fans came out of their seats as the two cut up the cinder track, pace for pace. Fifteen meters from the end Tolan spurted to the lead. The chunky Negro crossed the finish line two feet ahead of Simpson, with Metcalfe third. In the 100-meter finals Monday, Tolan took first in the time of 10.3, new new Olympic record and World's record, just as his 21.2 was in the 200. Tolan thus duplicated the performance of Percy Williams of Canada, who won both the 100 and 200-meter dashes at Amsterdam in 1928. Williams scratched from the 200 meters here and failed to reach the finals in the 100.

A long series of incidents, coming in distasteful sequence to the management, brought about the chruge which elevated the popular Charley Grimm, veteran first sacker to the management. In detail, some of the important are: First—Hornsby's attempt to invoke the pollry of John J. McGraw j„ af ,j ng M “one-man team” aroused th, snUfonism of the owner*. Second—President Veerk didn't want hi* manager to “bat. field, rtin and pitch” for every member on the club a* Hornaby insisted on doing. Third—Failure to execute Hornsby’s orders developed a situation where the pitcher* were grumbling at the outfielders and the players in general had developed a “ease of nerve*" nearing a breaking point that made Veeck apprehensive as is the results later on. Fourth—The eluh had three fine catcher* and under Hornsby's guidance they were not more than automatons, or perchance, poppejs. This fact alone, caused undercurrents of dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, Prexy Veeck was busy denying that he was attempting to run the club afield. “I never did that and I never intend to.” he said. However. Veecks idea of how the club should be handled is easily understood. He does not believe that one man should be the “whole show." He is inclined to believe that the stars on the club should be allowed to do some of their own thinking. Kiki Cuyler , speedy outfielder, often has asked to pick his own pitch on which to attempt a steal of second base. Cuyler’s base running has been below par this year and he blames Hornsby. Another trouble laid to Hornsby was his criticism of players, particularly youngsters, when a play failed to “go through.” Many believed he took too much credit for the success of the team and shadowboxed away from assuming responsibility lor its failures. He had few kind words for successful plavs. Hornsby also was said to be impatient with some of his high-priced rookies. He never could “see” Stanley .Hack, and couldn’t become enthused over Billy Herman. He shipped away Danny Taylor, who has been playing great ‘ ball for Brooklyn. T '
