A. L. Prexy Looks at 1933 Season Through Rosy Glasses

BY KENNETH D. FRY jjt’js sssjj pajian CHICAGO, March 23.—William Harridge, president of the American League, gazed into the immediate future through rose-colored glasses today, and expressed the belief that prosperity has at last been capturned and will be on view at junior circuit ball park this season. An undercurrent of conversation to the effect that baseball has seen its best days and now is on the down grade is smiled away by Prexy Harridge’s benign optimism and firm belief that the American League turnstiles will click a sprightly tune during the approaching campaign. Why? ■'Well,” said Will Harridtge, “we’re going to have a balanced race during 1933. New York’s Yankees might repeat, but they won’t be able to make such a runaway race of it and customers will still turn out in large numbers to patronize a winning club, or a club that can be counted on to furnish thrills.” Why do you figure the Yankees won’t go galloping ’way down in front. Will? “McCarthy’s cluh picked up a lot of games from the cripples last year, the Tigers, White Sox and Browns. They don't look like easy picking now. Connie Mack writes

Cubs Swing Ax; Newsom Dropped By Timet Spec in l LOS ANGELES, March 28.—Louis • Buck) Newsom, young right-hand-ed pitcher, drew his release from the Chicago Cubs Monday. He was turned over to the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast League to complete payment for George Stainback, the young outfielder who will join the Cubs next spring. The Cubs are expected to announce other shifts before starting the trip east Sunday.

Sox fans are loyal, and any signs of life on the south side will bring them out again. “Boston has anew set-up in the business office and a better break in the schedule. They aren’t overloaded w r ith strong clubs to meet at the start of the schedule, as they were last year. And I look for a big pick-up in Boston gate receipts. “Phil Ball, 'at St. Louis, has been going along for years, losing games and money without a murmur, but that big deal with Washington | strengthened the Browns considerably, Washington, too, will make trouble for the Yanks and Athletics.” “What about beer in American League parks?” “Nothing has been said about that. It’s really a matter for individual clubs to settle, like the radio problem, and say, isn’t Colonel Ruppert | on top of the w’orld now, with a I world's championship Yankee club and the return of beer?” | So, as the politicians says, everyI thing’s going to be all right.

‘Quit Talking in German , 9 Ump Hank O’Day Warns Hans Wagner

BY J. HONUS WAGNER, Baseball's All-Time Shortstop and Pirate Coach. EN ROUTE to Paso Robles, Cal., with the Pittsburgh Pirates several weeks ago, I met Hank O'Day, the old National League umpire. in Tucson, Ariz., where he was spending the winter. Seeing him at the station brought back vivid memories of games which I had

played and in which he umpired. Hank O’Day and Bob Emslie were the best judges of balls and strikes of any umpires I ever have seen. But like most umpires, and all of us for that matter, Hank had his eccentricities.

I used to like to hold back my throws at shortstop when he was umpiring the bases just to hear him moan. I would throw the ball to

Davis used elbow and punching tactics, but the veteran Stecher of the big hands "what am’’ paid little attention to the sideshow angles and used his strength to bowl over his opponent. Time of the first fall was twenty minutes; second, nine minutes, and third, six minutes. The clean-cut Ralph Wilson, Hoosier medico, had a hard tussle in the semi-windup with Bearcat Jones, Arizona Indian, but finally triumphed in thirty-six minutes by using a crotch and slam hold. In the prelim bout Swede Olsen of Minnesota won from Abe Kashey, New York, in sixteen minutes on a foul when the grapplers became tangled up near the ropes. It was announced that the feature go next Monday will be a finish encounter between Ralph Wilson and the stalwart jumping Joe Savoldi. Many fans have been begging for this clash for some time.

first base just a step ahead of the runner so that the play would be close. That always burned up Hank. He’d get me aside and say: “Why do you always want to make those plays so close?” Then I’d tell him: “Hank you are the best umpire I ever saw. You can call ’em right when they’re close as a hair.” We had a second baseman with the Pirates at one time by the name of Miller. He spoke German and so did I. Frequently we would talk in German at second base, deciding which one was to take the throw in case the runner on first attempted to steal, etc. One day Hank asked George Gibson, who was catching for us, what we were talking about. “Why, they’re talking about you,” Gibby told Hank. “They’re discussing thta rotten decision you made last inning.” Os course, we weren't, but Hank fell for Gibby’s chatter. He warned me that if I didn't quit talking in German, he'd throw me out of the game.

In fact, there isn’t any point to the picture.

But it’s one of the funniest films I have ever seen. The lines are witty and the byplay is extremely well done. It isn’t artistic or spectacular comedy. It’s just plain funny. At times dirty. Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey are sent with their tame lions to Africa with “Mrs. Johnson-

Robert Woolsey

Martini,” played by Esther Muir, to make a wild animal picture. Apparently the picture is never made because the three fall into the hands of Amazons, a tribe of women, who are notorious for their amorous attacks upon the males in the vicinity. But Woolsey is in the clothes of Mrs. Johnson-Martini and he sticks to his first love. Wheeler is literally carried away by a savage little miss whom he christens “Miss More.” The situations lead to a climax when there is a sudden eclipse and the Amazons go into their “Passion Dance.” The outcome is a howl. The acting of Wheeler and Woolsey is great. That is, along comedy lines. They have a distinct style

and that is one necessity if a comedian is to succeed. Raquel Torres, as the savage girl, doesn't have much to do but look pretty, which she does well. After all the cast is merely a playground for these two nit-wits, Wheeler and Woolsey. The setting and background of the picture are something new- for comedy, and there is a satire on ' Strange Interlude" which is handled in grand manner. The photography is nothing to brag about but if you don’t get a laugh out of this picture. I'm wrong.

This change in the Roof's program is made by the popular demand of local dancers, according to Tom Devine of the Roof, who successfully featured a night for Indianapolis’ feminine population last year.

Notables Rode With Him Booth Tarkington, Douglas Fairbanks. William S. Hart, the movie star; Hoot Gibson, Thomas R. Marshall, James Whitcomb Rilev, Theodore Roosevelt. Benjamin Harrison, William Jennings Bryan and William McKinley have heard ' Peg's” clucking to his horse and watched-* his hands nurse the reins as he drove them from rail stations to hotels and round-about-town. “In fact," Hamilton related at one time, "every President that came to Indianapolis I've hauled with the exception of President Wilson." Living in the hey-day of swinging doors and Tom and Jerrys, “Peg” could spin as many yarns as wine bottles of old vintage have spider webs, of the elite of the city that he has helped homeward after a “binge." Sort From One Fare He always claimed the longest hack ride from a fare when he collected SSO to take a man to Cinrin-* nati. and the fare forced him to turn back at Shelbyville and return to Indianapolis. The conclusion of meetings of the state legislature in the pretzel bowl era always found the scions attending balls which Hamilton gave for them in Tomlinson hall. His cabby days over, lie never liked the motor-driven taxis, so ho became a crossing watchman for the Big Four railroad. He was born in Vigo count*' near Terre Haute. Survivors are the widow, Mrs Mata Hamilton, and a son, Booth Hamilton, named after Booth Tarkington. Last rites will be in Finn Brothers’ funeral home, 1639 North Meridian street. Burial will be :n Fioral Park cemetery. Auto Injuries I ataftiTUUmer SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 28.
