By Edldlae Ash Spitter Ban Is Own Affair of A. A. * m m Coast Hurler Breaks Down “Agreement” mam “Wampum” Makes Appearance in Sports
B ,G LEAGUE experts have been compelled to pull their punches on Commissioner Judge Landis again and retractions are in order. Once before the major scribes climbed on “hissoner” and razzed him for not slashing his fat salary. Later it was learned he had put through a voluntary cut of $25,000 and said nothing about it, all of which caused the scriveners to back track and throw him a bouquet. A few weeks ago there was announcement to the effect Clarence Mitchell, veteran southpaw spitball pitcher, had a chance to hurl for Minneapolis “if Landis would lift the ban on the moist delivery in the American Association.” Dave Bancroft, new Miller pilot, a farmer teammate of Clarence, was willing to take on the old timers. A cry arose in big league cities panning Landis for not stepping right out and making an exception to the rule for Mitchell. The major scribes became bitter about it and several pointed out that the judge was standing in the way of employment for a grand guy who had served baseball long and faithfully. Landis kept silent, bore up under the printed onslaught and permitted the writing boys to put their necks in the noose. A. A. writers were aware that Landis and the big leagues had no jurisdiction in the matter. Big league scribes finally learned the true facts in the case the other day. The ban on the spitter in the American Association is and was its own affair. The A- A. was the leader in the outlawing of the saliva ball, shine ball and other freak deliveries in 1920. Rex Dawson, Indianapolis, was one of the popular mainstay pitchers who lost out when the restriction went into effect. He was one of the league's first-flight flingers at the time. a a a a a a REPORTS SAY OLD SHELLY BEAT THE RAP THE sum of $450 a month was supposed to be top salary for players in the Pacific Coast League this year. “Gentleman’s agreement,” by the club owners, it was announced. No player would be paid more than that amount; not a chance for the holdouts to win, it was said. The moaning of the Pacific had not a thing on the wailing of the athletes. Frank Shellenback, veteran Hollywood pitcher, received SBBS a month last year, according to the San Francisco News. He held up his end of the team's success in his customary winning style. Now it is reported Bill Lane, Hollywood prexy, decided to make Shelly’s case an exception to the rule and offered him $550, or SIOO more than the “gentlemen’s agreement” called for. Some coast scriveners declared Shellenback declined the $450 first and then declined $550, finally reaching a compromise, which the “San Fran” News believes was S6OO or $650. Shelly is a box office attraction and is usually regarded as the leading twirler in the far west circuit. ONE night, years ago, in John L. Sullivan’s grog shop, a stranger stood talking with a little man of some age. The stranger was praising Sullivan's fighting prowess. "John L.,” the little man replied, “isn’t so much as a fighter. I can lick him myself. What’s more I'll punch him in the nose any time I feel like it.” "I'll bet you twenty you won’t,” replied the stranger. No sooner said than done. The little man walked over to where Sullivan was talking to some friends. He swung a right to John L.’s great jowls. Sullivan turned and laughed. The little man went back and collected his bet. Later in the evening John L. grabbed the little man and swung him to the top of the bar. “Boys,” roared the former heavyweight champion, “take off your hats to a grand old man—Michael Sullivan—my father!”,
TRADING POST AT ROLLER TILT SUNDAY USED safety razor blades, wornout phonograph needles, stringless ukuleles, left-handed corkscrews and glass eyes are about the only things that will be barred as tokens of admission to Sunday afternoon’s roller polo game between Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne at Tomlinson hall. Due to the. scarcity of two-bits pieces among the fans, the management has decided to establish a “trading post” at the front door, and accept “wampum” in exchange for a look at w'hat promises to be a fast game of polo. Clothing and canned goods will be the most acceptable form of barter, but, in lieu of these, anything that may be sold for 25 cents or more will be accepted, it is said. City Purchasing Agent A1 Losche will be on hand to appraise the “wampum.” Captain Otto Ray will take charge of the stuff after the game and see that it gets into the proper relief channels. For those of the fans who still have two-bits tickets are on sale all over town. A1 Feeney has charge of sales at the statehouse, Ira Haymaker is looking after tickets at the courthouse, while Gar Davis and Hendricks Kenworthy are bearing down at the city hall. The polo game will start at 3 p. m. There will be an amateur tilt at 2. ana a a a THE rumor that A1 Simmons’ hand was pierced by a broken golf club is incorrect, according to George Earnshaw, of the Athletics, for several years a team mate of Al's before the big slugger was sold to the White Sox. George says Simmons took a swing with an iron and the club struck a rock, the shaft cracked and the vibration sent pain tingling through Al's right arm. The pain failed to respond to treatment. Earn-, shaw declares, and finally the doctor ordered three infected teeth extracted, which eased the trouble, but complete relief was not felt for some time. tt n a B tt a Few factories are running in these wide United States, except the rumor factory, which is never idle. For instance, although Hunk Anderson is signed to coach Notre Dame football again this year, the report has been broadcast that Slip Madigan of St, Mary’s of the California Marys, will be the "next’’ head grid mentor of the Hoosier Irish. tt B B B B B Lone Star Dietz has landed another job.

The eighth round saw the trend of battle turn completely, with Maxie slapping ten blows to Heuser's one. Maxie took the next five rounds with ease.

Michigan U. Tops Field Wolverines Place Eleven in Track Trials, Indiana Eight. BY KENNETH D. FRY Vnited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. March 11.—A strong, well-balanced Michigan track team threatens to dislodge Indiana from the Big Ten indoor track and field pinnacle in the annual meet tonight at the University of Chicago field house. The Hoosiers furnished a garrison finish last year to nose out the Wolverines. 27’s to 27. Although the Indiana team is expected to land three first places in the finals tonight, Michigan's showing in the trials, plus the possibility of two first places in the mile relay and the high jump, makes the Wolverines the favorite to take the honors. Hornbostel on Spot Michigan led the qualifiers Friday night, placing eleven in the finals. Indiana was second with eight qualifiers. Charles Hornbostel, Indiana’s hope for heavy scoring in the mile and half mile, qualified in both events. Tonight he must run the mile against Dean Woolsey of Illinois before he can go out for the half mile, his specialty. That arrangement endangers Indiana's chances. Besides Hornbostel, Indiana banks heavily on Ivan Fuqua in the dash and 440, Biddinger in the shot-put. Divich in the pole vault and Watson for a victory in the two-mile. Purdue Surprises. Michigan is practically a certain minner with Willis Ward, Negro sophomore, in the high jump. The Wolverine mile relay quartet has been dashing the distance in better than record time. Michigan’s other threats for points are Ward in the - dash. Eggleston in the hurdles, De Baker in the 440, Turner in the 880. and Hill in the two-mile. Illinois qualified only three in five trials Friday night, but the Illinois strength is in the pole vault and shot-put, two events which did not call for trials. Ohio State with Keller in the hurdles and Bennett in the dash, is the only other teams rated a chance. Purdue showed unexpected strength by qualifying five.
